Most Ontario Homeowners Forget This One Thing About Their Mortgage – Don’t Be One of Them
In the landscape of homeownership across Ontario, one often-overlooked detail in mortgage contracts has quietly cost many homeowners thousands of dollars: mortgage penalties for breaking the term early . While the excitement of a new home purchase typically revolves around finding the lowest rate, industry professionals are reminding homeowners to pay just as much attention to the terms that come after they sign on the dotted line. The Hidden Cost of Flexibility According to data from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), over 60% of fixed-rate mortgage holders break their mortgage early , typically within three years. The reasons vary—from job relocations and divorce to better refinancing options or upgrading to a new home. Unfortunately, many borrowers discover too late that exiting a mortgage early isn’t free. Depending on the lender, early exit penalties can range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars , especially with large banks that calculate penalties based on the interest rate differential (IRD) —a formula many consumers don’t fully understand. “People are shocked when they realize how expensive it can be to make a move,” said Kelly Haick , a licensed Mortgage Agent based in St. Catharines. “You assume it’s just a small administrative fee, but with some banks, it’s more like a hefty fine for changing your mind.” What Homeowners Are Missing Most borrowers believe that a low interest rate is the best sign of a good mortgage. But industry experts argue that the real test of a well-structured mortgage is how adaptable it is. “There are mortgages out there that offer the same competitive rates but with much more forgiving terms if your life circumstances change,” Haick explained. “The trick is knowing how to compare beyond the surface-level numbers.” The Fine Print Matters Key elements homeowners often overlook include: Prepayment privileges (how much extra you can pay without penalty) Portability (whether you can transfer the mortgage to a new home) Blending options (how rates are adjusted if you refinance early) Penalty calculations (flat fee vs. interest rate differential) Not all lenders treat these terms equally. For instance, monoline lenders (those who deal only in mortgages and not retail banking) are known to have more transparent and often more lenient penalty structures than traditional banks. What Can You Do About It? Experts suggest asking questions before signing: What is the exact formula this lender uses to calculate penalties? How long am I realistically planning to stay in this property? Are there scenarios where I might need to break the mortgage? Additionally, understanding how fixed vs. variable rates handle penalties differently can save thousands. Variable-rate penalties are typically three months’ interest , while fixed rates are subject to IRD, which can be far more costly. The Takeaway Mortgages are not just about monthly payments—they’re legal contracts with real financial consequences. As homeownership becomes increasingly fluid—with more people moving for work, downsizing, or tapping equity— working with a knowledgeable mortgage broker is no longer optional; it’s essential. Before committing, Ontario homeowners are encouraged to look beyond promotional rates and understand the real-world implications of the contract they’re signing. “Buying a home is a huge milestone,” Haick adds. “It should come with peace of mind—not expensive surprises.”

Newly Launched Dry Capital Reports Strong Initial Momentum in European Real Estate Recap Market
Dry Capital , a Brussels-based start up real estate launched in March 2025 has reported a strong early traction, conducting roadshows with international partners within its first month of operation, which focuses purely on structured recapitalizations of mid-to large-cap ESG projects via holding companies. Chadha, 43, a British, Canadian and Belgian national, having worked on the principal side for almost 20 years in the European commercial real estate markets, brings firsthand knowledge of entry and exit, tax structuring, and optimal capital and operational strategies. The firm’s model focuses on structured corporate recapitalizations of office,living, residential, and build-to-rent properties valued between €30 million and €150 million where the demand from owners, mainly developers, is extremely high. Tightening financing and lending conditions, geopolitical issues and lower liquidity reserves had led to a high demand from owners seeking to either JV, recap or seek new long-term partners. Real Estate, which since the Ukraine war, has not recovered and is going through a huge disruption. “Since Covid and the onset of the Ukraine war, we've seen a fundamental shift in real estate demand, from office spaces and the impact of AI to residential living. Today, the key is to anticipate the needs of tomorrow, especially looking beyond 2030. Unfortunately, not every player in the market has the luxury of time to make that pivot alone. They need the right partners to step in. At Dry Capital, we’re building a strong, forward-looking pipeline of high-potential deals, offering more than 10 percent returns through creative structuring and alternative financing strategies.” says Chadha. Dry Capital’s early traction reflects pent-up demand for liquidity solutions as European banks scale back real estate exposure and the traditional M&A markets are still difficult. Leveraging founder Sheelam Chadha’s decades-long experience in European markets, the firm accesses off-market opportunities through a proprietary network built on longstanding relationships. Chadha’s commitment to inclusion extends beyond the boardroom. At KU Leuven, a leading university in Belgium, she co-founded and teaches a pioneering private equity course tailored for young professionals navigating the intersection of real estate and capital markets. She is also a member of the Forte Foundation, supporting gender equity in finance across the Atlantic. Chadha’s tri-national background: Belgian, British, and Canadian, shapes Dry Capital’s cross-border strategy. With regular presence in London and upcoming keynotes at both the PERE Europe and Americas Summits, she positions the new firm as a trusted bridge between global capital and projects within Benelux and Western Europe’s stable markets. Within its first year, Dry Capital aims to solidify its role as a preferred recapitalization partner for mid-to large cap real estate sponsors across Europe, bridging international capital with future-ready assets and setting the standard for a more inclusive, agile, and resilient real estate finance model. About Dry Capital Dry Capital specializes in GP-led secondary transactions and strategic recapitalizations across Europe. Founded in 2025, the firm focuses on mid-cap ESG-compliant assets requiring operational repositioning.

With a reputation built on non-toxic, highly effective treatments and a dependable service model, the company’s arrival is a timely solution for Oklahoma City homeowners facing seasonal pest surges and seeking a reliable, family-safe alternative. A New Standard in Pest Control Barefoot Mosquito & Pest has redefined what effective pest control looks like in the modern age. Rather than relying on harsh, synthetic chemicals, the company uses a proprietary treatment derived from natural ingredients. This approach targets mosquitoes, ants, roaches, ticks, and other common pests, delivering long-term protection without exposing households to unnecessary toxins. What sets Barefoot apart is its ability to combine strength and sensitivity: their treatments are tailored to be tough on pests, yet gentle on the people, pets, and ecosystems they serve. By focusing on solutions that support overall home wellness, Barefoot appeals to the growing number of families prioritizing health and environmental responsibility in their service choices. Meeting a Growing Demand in Oklahoma City Barefoot’s launch in Oklahoma City comes at a critical moment. As the metro area experiences continued growth and seasonal pest issues become more intense, many homeowners are searching for pest control services that can keep up—with minimal disruption to home life. Oklahoma’s climate, especially during the spring and summer months, creates ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes, ants, and other unwelcome invaders. Traditional pest control methods often rely on synthetic treatments that linger long after application. Barefoot offers a thoughtful alternative that provides fast, lasting results—without the chemicals that many customers are increasingly wary of. The company’s expansion into Oklahoma City represents a strategic response to this evolving consumer demand. With a fully operational team, a fleet of vehicles, and a robust training program, Barefoot is prepared to serve the unique needs of homes across the region. Backed by a Guarantee Central to Barefoot’s service philosophy is its pest control guarantee. This assurance—that if pests return, so do they—has earned the company widespread trust in its original Texas markets. Now, Oklahoma City customers can enjoy the same peace of mind. The guarantee reflects a core belief that pest problems shouldn’t just be treated—they should be solved. Instead of one-and-done service visits, Barefoot’s model emphasizes prevention, long-term planning, and a commitment to seeing issues through to resolution. This proactive approach not only builds confidence with customers but also ensures more sustainable pest control outcomes. A Local Team with a Personal Touch While Barefoot’s roots are in Texas, the company’s Oklahoma City branch is built around local leadership and community integration. The newly launched OKC team consists of trained professionals who live in the area and understand its unique pest pressures and environmental landscape. This localized structure allows the team to deliver both the personalized service of a small business and the professionalism and consistency of a regional brand. Technicians are not just applicators—they are educators and problem-solvers who take the time to explain procedures, offer prevention tips, and ensure customers feel supported every step of the way. Micah Ward: "We’re Excited to Be Here" Micah Ward, Area Sales Manager for Barefoot, underscored the company’s enthusiasm for its Oklahoma expansion. “We’ve had our sights set on Oklahoma City for a while,” said Ward. “It’s a vibrant and growing community, and we’re excited to be here with a full fleet, fully trained staff, and a commitment to delivering safe, effective pest control solutions. Our goal is simple: solve problems the right way—and make sure they stay solved.” Ward’s comments reflect a strategic vision focused on community engagement and long-term impact. Barefoot isn’t just entering a new market—they’re planting roots with the intent to grow and serve the city for years to come. Health-Conscious and Eco-Friendly Barefoot’s natural approach to pest control speaks directly to health-conscious consumers and environmentally minded households. Their services avoid broad-spectrum sprays and residue-heavy treatments, focusing instead on precise applications that minimize exposure risks. As more research emerges about the potential side effects of chemical pest control—particularly for children, pets, and those with sensitivities—Barefoot’s services are filling an important niche. Customers no longer have to choose between protecting their home and protecting their health. The company’s methods are especially effective in controlling mosquitoes, a key concern during Oklahoma’s warm months. Mosquitoes pose not just an annoyance but a legitimate public health risk, and Barefoot’s eco-friendly treatments offer a safe and powerful defense. A Community-Centered Business Model Beyond its services, Barefoot Mosquito & Pest is committed to being a positive force in the communities it serves. The company emphasizes transparency in pricing, education around pest behavior and prevention, and ongoing customer support that goes beyond the basics. Whether it’s a scheduled treatment or a follow-up visit covered by the service guarantee, customers know they’re working with a company that values reliability and relationships. This people-first philosophy has earned Barefoot glowing reviews and strong retention in its home markets—and Oklahoma City is expected to be no different. Homeowners Already Taking Notice Within just weeks of launching in Oklahoma City, Barefoot has already begun to receive enthusiastic feedback from early adopters. Local families have responded positively to the company’s timely arrival, professionalism, and commitment to safe practices. As word spreads, Barefoot is quickly becoming a preferred provider for homeowners seeking a better way to manage pests without compromising their values. “With seasonal pest concerns on the rise, Barefoot’s timely arrival is already being welcomed by homeowners seeking a more dependable, family-safe alternative.” How to Book a Service Oklahoma City residents interested in exploring Barefoot Mosquito & Pest’s offerings can easily schedule a consultation through the company’s website.
