Reverse Mortgage Pros rolls out one-year sub-5% offering

Reverse Mortgage Pros, a reverse mortgage brokerage in Canada, has announced the launch of a one-year reverse mortgage rate of 4.99%.

 The limited-time offer applies to new applicants in larger towns and cities across Canada. To qualify for the promotional rate, applicants must submit their reverse mortgage applications by the end of November, with all funding completed by January 31, 2025.

Reverse mortgages allow homeowners to convert their home equity into tax-free funds without giving up ownership, offering financial flexibility for retirees. Typically used to supplement retirement income or cover expenses like healthcare or home renovations, these loans often come with higher interest rates.

While the 4.99% promotional rate offers a more affordable borrowing option, it's essential to consider the long-term implications. Higher interest rates can significantly impact the total amount owed over time. Homeowners should assess their financial needs and consult with financial advisors to determine if a reverse mortgage aligns with their retirement goals.

"This promotion reflects our deep commitment to supporting Canadian retirees as they explore options for financial freedom in their retirement years," said Mich Sneddon, principal broker of Reverse Mortgage Pros. "A rate as low as 4.99% provides a unique opportunity to tap into home equity at a time when market conditions often make such rates rare and elusive."
