Where Flexibility Meets Savings
Rates are always fluctuating. At nesto, we provide the flexibility you need during uncertain times. We designed the Prime Time Mortgage for savvy market watchers. This unique product lets you time the market effectively, maximizing your savings potential.
How Prime Time Works
Get short-term stability and long-term flexibility
A 3 or 5-year variable rate priced as low as a fixed rate for the first 6 months. You benefit from a guaranteed discount on your rate while seeing if variable rates drop.
Monthly refund on your mortgage payment
This 6-month rate discount (the difference between the fixed & variable rates) is delivered as a monthly refund via direct deposit.
A low, adjustable rate for a changing market
After the 6 month period, you’ll return to the adjustable variable rate. Anticipating a rate drop by the Bank of Canada? With nesto, your rate and payments will automatically adjust, allowing you to benefit from the decrease.
Switch to a fixed rate anytime, penalty-free
Rates don’t drop as much as you expected? Crave stability again? Have peace of mind with the option to convert back to a fixed rate anytime, penalty free!
In early June, the Bank of Canada cut the policy interest rate down to 4.75%. This was the bank’s first rate cut since March 2020, bringing Canadian homeowners & future buyers some much anticipated relief. Following the rate cuts in July, August, and September, the sidelined variable rate has come back into the spotlight. A variable rate changes with the prime rate set by the Bank of Canada.
But variable rates are still higher than fixed rates, so how low will rates go?
Economists predict several more rate cuts in 2024 for more favourable borrowing conditions by 2025. If you lock in the Prime Time Rate today, you’ll get the benefits of a fixed rate until December and can see how low rates will go before committing to that variable rate.

CUSTOMER STORIES
Prime Time in Action
Having helped over 400,000+ Canadians, we understand every situation is unique. Whether you’re one of the 60% of Canadians up for renewal in the next 2 years or you’re looking to enter the market, we’ll find a mortgage strategy that’s best for you. Here’s an example:
The client: Maria & Paul
Issue: Maria & Paul were sidelined from the market for 2 years, patiently waiting for rates to decrease. They found their dream home outside Montreal in early June after the BoC decreased rates. However, they were still hesitant to commit long-term to a variable rate.
Solution: Enter Prime Time. They locked in a five-year variable rate on a $364,000 mortgage. Their monthly payments would have been $2,412, but with the six-month discount, it reduced to $2,192—saving them $220/month.
In December, their Mortgage Advisor, Olivier, will assist them in evaluating whether to continue with a variable rate, balancing the rate environment with their risk tolerance.
