Of that $580 billion or so in existing mortgages, about one-third ($193.3 billion) was up for renewal during the year. Given the rather immense amount of money being renewed each year, it is a surprise to hear from our former mortgage insider how many people sign and send back the mortgage renewal form sent to them by their banks, even though the rate being offered is not discounted at all. “If I told you how many people do this, you’d be floored,” the insider said. “It’s close to 30 percent.” [...] [...] I found this mortgage tidbit in Rob Carrick’s latest book How to Pay Less and Keep More for Yourself (book review) fascinating: As of mid-2006, the total amount of outstanding mortgages was worth roughly $660 billion, with about $80 billion of that representing new mortgages and the rest representing existing mortgages.

Research shows that it will save you money 88% of the time. Also, shop around to get the lowest mortgage rate possible with all the features you want (like pre-payment options).

I need some advice. My Fiancee and I will be applying for a mortgage this month. I'm 27. She's 26. I've been reading a lot of personal finance books lately; trying to understand how to position ourselves for a comfortable future. Does anyone out there have any advice for a young couple shopping for a mortgage? Cheers! Gotta go cry now. The Leafs are getting the beat down from the Penguins. Hey there fellow Canucks.
