Is a 1-year fixed right for you in Saskatchewan?
Who it suits. Rate-watchers who want a fixed payment for just twelve months so they can renew into what they expect will be a lower-rate market. It also suits borrowers who can't yet qualify for the best long-term pricing and want to improve their file before re-shopping.
What drives the rate. The 1-year fixed is the most responsive fixed term to the immediate outlook. It typically prices above longer terms in a normal market (lenders charge for the short hold) and only undercuts them when deep cuts are expected within the year.
Breaking it early. With only twelve months of term, the IRD is almost always trivial and three months' interest is the practical penalty, so flexibility is high.
A specialist term for active rate-shoppers, not a mainstream default. You accept a usually-higher rate for the freedom to renew in a year.
