Getting the best mortgage rate in Scarborough.
The posted rate you see advertised isn’t the rate you get. In Scarborough, your number is set by your credit score, your down payment / loan-to-value, whether the mortgage is insured, and the property type — and by which lender’s broker-channel pricing fits your file. East Toronto — the GTA's most affordable detached entry point, deep newcomer and multi-generational buyer base, heavy first-time and self-employed flow.
What’s specific to Ontario: Ontario has the deepest lender competition in Canada — every monoline (MCAP, First National, RFA, B2B Bank), every Big-6, and 25+ credit unions actively bid. This typically produces the sharpest discount-rate offers in the country. On top of the rate, budget for ontario land transfer tax (ltt) — tiered tax of 0.5%–2.5% on purchase price, calculated at closing on the entire amount. First-time buyers can claim up to $4,000 in Ontario LTT rebate; Toronto purchases stack an additional municipal $4,475 FTHB rebate.
