The Thunder Bay market for mortgage agents

Thunder Bay is among Ontario's most affordable major centres, so first-time buyers and relocating workers carry the market. Detached homes remain attainable on a single income here, which keeps the financing conversation focused on documentation rather than price.

The math in Thunder Bay

What a funded deal is worth in Thunder Bay

At Thunder Bay’s median single detached home price of about $405,819, a typical 80% loan-to-value mortgage is roughly $325,000. Lender finder’s fees on a deal that size usually run $2,600–$3,600 (about 0.8–1.1% of the mortgage) — and as a producing Mortgage Squad agent you keep up to 100% of it.

Illustrative, based on the Northern ON median selling price — your actual commission depends on the lender, the file and your split, and this is not a guarantee of earnings.
