Why Some Homeowners Choose a Longer Amortization

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 18:40:03 GMT

One of my great Mortgage Advisors, Joe Cutura of Tango Financial, sent out this great piece this week. In this world of higher living costs, being able to save for retirement earlier and pay down other debt might trump paying off your mortgage faster. It’s a matter of balance that should be carefully considered.

Read on…..

One of the most common misconceptions about mortgages is that a shorter amortization is always the better choice. While paying off a mortgage more quickly can certainly reduce interest costs over time, the reality is that the right amortization depends on a homeowner's financial situation and long-term goals.

Amortization simply refers to the length of time it would take to pay off a mortgage if payments remained unchanged. In Canada, many homeowners choose amortizations of 25 years, although shorter and longer options may be available depending on the mortgage and lending guidelines.

A shorter amortization typically results in higher monthly payments but allows more of each payment to go toward the mortgage principal. Over time, this can significantly reduce the total amount of interest paid and help homeowners build equity more quickly.

A longer amortization works differently. Because the repayment period is spread over more years, the required monthly payment is lower. While this generally increases total interest costs over the life of the mortgage, it can also create valuable flexibility within a household budget.

For some homeowners, that flexibility can be important. A lower mortgage payment may allow them to build an emergency fund, contribute to retirement savings, manage childcare expenses, pay down higher-interest debt, or simply maintain a more comfortable monthly cash flow. During periods of higher interest rates or economic uncertainty, preserving flexibility can be just as important as accelerating repayment.

It is also worth remembering that choosing a longer amortization does not necessarily lock a homeowner into slower repayment. Many mortgages include prepayment privileges that allow borrowers to make additional payments when their finances permit. This can provide the best of both worlds: lower required payments combined with the ability to pay down the mortgage faster when circumstances allow.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to balance. While minimizing interest costs is an important consideration, it is only one part of a larger financial picture. The mortgage strategy that works best for a young family managing multiple financial priorities may look very different from the strategy chosen by someone approaching retirement.

Like many financial decisions, the goal is not to find a one-size-fits-all solution. It is to choose an approach that aligns with your income, lifestyle, and long-term objectives. A mortgage should support your broader financial plan, and sometimes that means prioritizing flexibility just as much as speed of repayment.

New BC Assessments are out

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 01:04:12 GMT

The new BC Assessments are now available. You can search yours here. https://www.bcassessment.ca/

The BC Assessments released on January 1st are a basic evaluation as at July 1st of the previous year. So what does that mean?

It’s not current, micro markets can change plenty over 6 months. It’s not specific to the condition of your home - no one came to your home and viewed it. If you plan to stay in your home, it’s just the basis for your property taxes for the new year (lower is better!). If you plan to sell it can create fear (if lower than you expected or than last year) or give you a false sense of security (if it’s gone up a lot).

If you’re thinking about selling in 2026, you need a current, accurate market evaluation from a professional. Pricing a home is only one piece of the puzzle but an honest opinion is the beginning of you turning over those keys this year!

Contact me today, get the real low down and start your selling journey.

Macdonald Realty - I found “my” home!

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 21:33:43 GMT

Macdonald Realty is where I found “my” home 10 years ago. I bonded instantly with the vivacious, bright, kind Managing Broker Pat Place. After our extended meeting with lots of great conversations and laughs, I said "well let's see how it goes, maybe I'm not the right type of person for this business" and she said "Julia, you're exactly the right type of person for this business!" Her encouragement, guidance and kindness have never wavered. She's a fantastic woman and friend.

That's my Intro to Macdonald Realty and my Real Estate Business - spanning the North Shore and Greater Vancouver. 10 years on Macdonald Realty is still the place for me!

Let me help you find your home!

Celebrating 10 Years in Real Estate

Mon, 06 Oct 2025 18:52:23 GMT

This October, I’m celebrating my 10th year as a REALTOR® in Vancouver and the North Shore—a milestone I couldn’t have reached without the trust, support, and referrals of clients, friends, and community.

When I made a mid-life leap into real estate, I knew it would take persistence and passion to carve out my place in such a competitive market. What I didn’t know is how much I’d come to love this work: the relationships built, the stories shared, and the communities I’ve been privileged to serve.

For me, real estate has never been just about homes—it’s about lifestyle, connection, and helping people thrive in this incredible city. It’s been an honour to be part of so many of your stories along the way.

If we haven't met yet, join me for your next real estate journey! 💫 Here’s to the next chapter.

Another 5 Star Review - Love my clients!

Wed, 24 Sep 2025 21:39:46 GMT

We recently bought a townhome and sold our condo with Julia as our incredible realtor. This is our 2nd time working with Julia, having bought our 1st home with her help years ago and I just can't recommend her enough. Even through the tough market with many similar condos for sale in our area, she does her research and pays attention to the finest details which allowed us to sell our condo in a short time frame. We are so grateful for her help and knowledge. Julia goes above and beyond. Top notch realtor, stop looking for a realtor - she is the one!!

Let’s connect and talk about your buying or selling plans! Or maybe it’s both!

Another 5 Star Review for West Vancouver Realtor, Julia Stauffer

Sun, 31 Aug 2025 00:35:46 GMT

From my latest Sellers

We had Julia recently sell our Vancouver condo during a bit of a difficult market. Julia did a fantastic job with all aspects of advertising, showing and selling the unit and maintained a high level of attention to detail with all aspects of the sale. She was tireless in looking after all sorts of details related to the showing of the unit and final sale. We would definitely work with Julia again if buying or selling a home in Vancouver again.

This is the one you've been waiting for! A Cool, Corner Lot, Character home in the chill quiet pocket of Renfrew, walking distance to all the awesome stuff in the hood, cafes, parks, beach, you name it.

The Main home Upstairs is bright and airy with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, an open kitchen with a pantry, and a massive sundeck that feels like you're up in the trees. Morning coffee or evening hangs? Yes please.

Downstairs, a legal 1-bed suite at the front (hello rental income!) plus another bedroom, rec room, and bath in the back.

Keep it all as one big home, or split it up, easily works as a teen zone or Airbnb setup, if you're feeling savvy.

You’ve got a big laundry room, tons of storage in the crawl space, a fenced yard for furry friends or garden dreams and parking for 3!

Neighbours of Dundarave - 10 year Anniversary Update

Sun, 12 Jan 2025 16:51:37 GMT

In 2017, I was featured in the Neighbours of Dundarave Magazine with my daughter Hayley. We had so much fun doing the photo shoot on the West Vancouver Centennial Seawalk.

In 2024 the magazine was celebrating it’s 10th Anniversary and shared covers from the past 10 years, culminating in the December issue which featured updates from the past cover stars. It was fun to look back talking with them and sharing what we have both been doing. My Real Estate business growth and my daughter’s continued education and career now in London.

Here’s to many more years, Neighbours of Dundarave!
