Frequently asked questions

How much does refinance cost?
Most refinance falls between $6,980 and $24,429, with a typical figure near $13,058 per $10,000 borrowed. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. For Ontario, ask a provider to put that in writing with the quote.

Is Refinancing cheaper in smaller cities?
Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. Where you are in Ontario can change the detail, so compare nearby quotes.
How many quotes should I get for refinance?
Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. The specifics vary across Ontario, so confirm them with the provider you hire.
