Is Refinancing Worth It in 2025? What Homeowners Need to Know

Writer: Lisa BelangerLisa Belanger

Hey homeowners! With 2025 bringing new changes to the mortgage landscape, many of you are wondering—should I refinance my mortgage this year? Let’s break it down and see if it makes sense for you!


Why Homeowners Consider Refinancing

Refinancing can be a powerful tool to:

  • Lower Your Interest Rate – If rates have dropped, you could save thousands over the life of your mortgage.

  • Improve Cash Flow – Extending your amortization or consolidating debt can help reduce monthly payments.

  • Tap Into Home Equity – Need funds for renovations, investments, or other expenses? Refinancing can provide access to your home’s built-up equity.

  • Switch to a Better Mortgage Product – You may want to move from a variable to a fixed rate (or vice versa) to align with your financial goals.


What’s Happening in 2025?

The Canadian mortgage market is always evolving, and here’s what to watch for this year:

  • Interest Rate Trends – Are rates expected to go up or down? Timing matters when it comes to refinancing.

  • Tighter Lending Rules – Lenders may be adjusting their requirements, so qualifying for the best rates might take some strategic planning.

  • Inflation and Economic Factors – Your mortgage isn’t just about rates—economic trends impact affordability and borrowing power.


Is Refinancing Right for You?

Refinancing isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. You’ll need to consider:

  • Penalty Fees – Breaking your mortgage early can come with costs, so we’ll need to calculate if the savings outweigh the penalties.

  • Your Long-Term Goals – Are you staying in your home for the long haul, or is a move on the horizon?

  • Your Current Financial Situation – If you need more flexibility in your budget, refinancing might be a game-changer.
