04
Home equity loans make sense in Ontario when you have built solid equity and want to avoid refinancing your first mortgage. At the current median price of $671,649, many homeowners have enough equity to tap without changing their primary loan.
If your first mortgage rate is low, a home equity loan keeps that rate locked in while giving you cash. That's a real advantage over a cash-out refinance, which would replace your entire loan.
05
A home equity loan is a second lien that leaves your first mortgage untouched. A cash-out refinance replaces your entire first mortgage with a new, larger one, which means you lose your current rate and restart your loan term.
Home equity loans close faster and involve less underwriting than a full refinance. If your first mortgage rate is favorable, a home equity loan is the smarter choice.
