Why do a lot of people have a hard-on for fixed mortgages? It's not like the interest rate is going to shoot up anytime soon. Is it the equal (and unchanging payments) that people like?
I signed up for another 5 years (last year) on my house, also increased my monthly payments.. Will be mortgage free in 7 years.

IMO, fixed is the way to go right now for the simple reason that the discount off of prime for variable at the moment is just terrible. A variable at P-0.35 is currently at 2.65 and a fixed mortgage can be had for 2.99. If I'm a betting man, I'm going to assume that the rate will go up by more than 34 basis points within the next 5 years.

My guess is that in an uncertain economy, fixed rates give them the stability and cost-certainty.

I'm glad i saw this thread, My term is up for renewal in november and RBC offered me 3% 1 year fixed rate for now. I didn't sign anything yet so CSI point me to the right direction !!

I wouldn't recommend TD either simply because of the collateral mortgage fees (I am a TD whore, all my other accounts are with them).
Your best bet is to go through a mortgage agent. Either go to Jeff's guy or my guys (pm for info).
They have access to ALL banks except RBC because they are cocky and think they are above everyone (they aren't). My mortgage guys have products from 16 different lending institutions, banks, mutual funds, pension funds, etc.
this offer goes for everyone in here? my mortgage is up in 2 years and Im paying my mortgage down very aggressively.

You may regret moving to TD when your mortgage is up. They've got you by the balls cause they know that it will cost you $600-1000 to have a lawyer register a mortgage with another lender, so they probably won't offer you a great renewal rate.
Not pushing TD per se, just saying there is waaaaay better than ass backwards RBC.

All mortgages have discharge fees. They'll typically be around $200 but most places will cover at least a portion of the fee if you go with them.
