Reverse Mortgage Options

There are several different types of reverse mortgage options available in Canada, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Here are some of the most common types of reverse mortgage options in Canada:

HomeEquity Bank's CHIP Reverse Mortgage

This is the most common type of reverse mortgage in Canada and is offered by HomeEquity Bank. CHIP Reverse Mortgages are available to homeowners who are 55 years of age or older and have significant equity in their homes. The amount of the loan is based on the value of the home, the age of the homeowner, and the interest rate.

Equitable Bank's PATH Reverse Mortgage

This is a newer option in Canada and is offered by Equitable Bank. PATH Reverse Mortgages are also available to homeowners who are 55 years of age or older and have significant equity in their homes. The amount of the loan is similarly based on the criteria of home value, the homeowner’s age, and the interest rate.

Reverse Mortgage Rates

Applying for a reverse mortgage in Canada means you will typically face higher interest rates compared to traditional mortgages. The rate will depend on several factors, including the lender, the type of reverse mortgage, and the homeowner’s age and equity in the property. For example, HomeEquity Bank’s CHIP Reverse Mortgage is typically between 4.95% and 5.95%, and Equitable Bank’s PATH Reverse Mortgage is typically between 3.89% and 5.89%.
