CMLS Financial 1-year fixed mortgage rate.
Today’s best 1-year fixed in our network is 4.19%. We access CMLS Financial’s broker-channel pricing — typically 15-30 bps below posted — and compare it across 50+ lenders.
CMLS Financial’s best 1-year fixed rate today is approximately 4.19% through the broker channel — about $3,004/month on a $700,000 home with 20% down over 25 years. A 1-year fixed is the maximum-optionality fixed term for borrowers betting on near-term cuts. The branch rate is rarely CMLS Financial’s best — the broker channel typically runs 15-30 bps lower.
The 1-year fixed with CMLS Financial
Who it suits. Rate-watchers who want a fixed payment for just twelve months so they can renew into what they expect will be a lower-rate market. It also suits borrowers who can't yet qualify for the best long-term pricing and want to improve their file before re-shopping.
What drives the rate. The 1-year fixed is the most responsive fixed term to the immediate outlook. It typically prices above longer terms in a normal market (lenders charge for the short hold) and only undercuts them when deep cuts are expected within the year.
Breaking it early. With only twelve months of term, the IRD is almost always trivial and three months' interest is the practical penalty — so flexibility is high.
How CMLS Financial prices the broker channel
One of Canada's largest independent mortgage finance companies. Active in both residential and commercial, with strong CMHC MLI Select multifamily expertise.
CMLS Financial runs two 1-year fixed rate sheets: the posted/branch rate and a wholesale broker-channel rate a licensed brokerage accesses, usually 15-30 bps lower because the broker handles origination. You can’t reach it by walking into a branch. On a $700,000 mortgage, 20 bps is roughly $1,400 a year.

A worked example
On a $700,000 home with 20% down, the mortgage is $560,000. At CMLS Financial’s best 1-year fixed rate of 4.19% over a 25-year amortization, the payment is about $3,004/month. Walk into a branch at the posted rate (~15-30 bps higher) and you’d pay $50-100 more a month for the identical mortgage — which is exactly what the broker channel saves.
