How does CMLS Financial’s 2-year fixed compare?
CMLS Financial isn't currently posting a broker-channel 2-year fixed on our rate board, so the rate above is the best 2-year fixed across our 100+ lenders — not CMLS Financial's own. For this term we shop your file across the full shelf, CMLS Financial included, and bring back the sharpest fit.
The trade-off, and what drives the rate
The trade-off. You pay for a very short rate hold and the certainty of re-shopping soon, sometimes at a premium.
What drives the rate. Priced off the 2-year Government of Canada bond, the 2-year fixed is highly sensitive to the near-term rate outlook. In a falling-rate market it can undercut longer fixed terms; in a flat market it usually prices above them because lenders prefer to lock you in longer.
What would my payment be with CMLS Financial?
About $2,943/month. On a $700,000 home with 20% down, the mortgage is $560,000. That’s at the network’s best 2-year fixed rate of 3.99% over a 25-year amortization. CMLS Financial does not lend direct to the public, so this rate only exists through a licensed brokerage — and on the same application we price it against the rest of the network rather than taking it on its own. Model your numbers in the payment calculator.
What a 2-year fixed with CMLS Financial means in practice
CMLS Financial is a broker-channel monoline that lends through brokers only. That matters on a 2-year fixed because the Big-6 price a fixed-rate break with posted-rate IRD, while lenders off the bank shelf more often use fair, contract-rate IRD — typically far cheaper for the same break. On a shorter fixed term the gap narrows, because the IRD window is smaller. CMLS Financial's commitment and written payout statement are the binding word on its method.

CMLS Financial's rate sheets and strengths
CMLS Financial has a single 2-year fixed rate sheet and it is wholesale — published to licensed brokers, with no retail counterpart, because origination is the broker’s job rather than a branch network’s. That is why their pricing is often sharp: the cost the Big-6 carry in branches is not in it. On a $700,000 mortgage, 20 bps is roughly $1,400 a year, which is the size of the gap worth shopping for.

CMLS Financial 2-year fixed rate — FAQ

Is a 2-year fixed with CMLS Financial a good idea?
You pay for a very short rate hold and the certainty of re-shopping soon, sometimes at a premium. A tactical, lower-volume term that shines in falling-rate windows.
How does breaking a CMLS Financial 2-year fixed work?
The greater of three months' interest or IRD, but with so little term length the IRD is rarely large, and three months' interest is often the binding (and modest) figure. The method matters as much as the term: the Big-6 banks compare your contract rate against today's posted rate minus the discount you received at signing, while lenders off the bank shelf more often use fair contract-rate IRD, which is typically far cheaper for the same break. CMLS Financial's written payout statement is the only binding number — estimate it first with our mortgage penalty calculator.
