Mortgage Options for Older Canadians

Zach Silverman | March 27, 2024

As Canadians approach retirement, the goal of paying off their mortgage before retirement may seem increasingly challenging due to the rising cost of living. However, with strategic mortgage planning, older Canadians can still secure favorable financing options to support their retirement years. At Silverman Mortgage Group, we understand the unique needs of retirees and offer tailored solutions to optimize their mortgage choices.


When considering mortgage options for retirement, working with an independent mortgage professional like Silverman Mortgage Group provides significant advantages. Unlike traditional banks, we offer a diverse range of mortgage products from various lenders, ensuring our clients have access to the best rates and terms available in the market.


Here are some mortgage options available to older Canadians as they plan for financing through retirement:


Standard Mortgage Financing

With a stable income, good credit, and home equity, older Canadians can qualify for standard mortgage financing. Our team at Silverman Mortgage Group assists retirees in leveraging their pension and retirement income to support their mortgage applications, even after retirement, securing the lowest interest rates and favorable terms.


Reverse Mortgage Financing

Designed specifically for homeowners aged 55 and older, reverse mortgages offer a unique solution to access home equity without income verification, credit checks, or health inquiries. Silverman Mortgage Group guides older Canadians through the intricacies of reverse mortgages, helping them enhance their lifestyle and financial security in retirement.


Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

For retirees seeking flexibility in accessing funds, a HELOC secured against home equity can be an excellent option. At Silverman Mortgage Group, we help older Canadians set up HELOCs to access funds when needed while minimizing interest payments, consolidating expenses and income into one convenient account.


Private Financing

In certain circumstances where traditional financing is not viable, private financing offers an alternative solution. While private financing may come with higher interest rates, it provides options where traditional banks may not. Silverman Mortgage Group assists retirees in exploring private financing options tailored to their unique needs and financial goals.

Our experienced team is dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support, ensuring older Canadians make informed decisions to secure their financial future.

What You Need to Know About Mortgages and Parental Leave

By Zach Silverman • July 22, 2026
If the title of this article caught your attention, chances are your family is growing. Congratulations. If you’re thinking now is the right time to move into a home that better fits your growing family—but you’re unsure how parental leave affects your ability to qualify for a mortgage—you’re in the right place. Here’s the good news. Qualifying for a mortgage while on parental leave is possible when it’s done correctly. When you work with an independent mortgage professional, lenders can often qualify you based on your return-to-work income , as long as you can provide documentation confirming you have guaranteed employment waiting for you. A word of caution If you walk into a bank branch and disclose that you’re currently on parental leave, there’s a chance the bank will only allow you to qualify using your parental leave income. That can significantly reduce your borrowing power. Parental leave income is typically limited to 55% of your previous earnings, up to a weekly maximum. Qualifying on that amount alone can restrict your options and impact the type of home you can purchase. Why lender choice matters One of the biggest advantages of working with an independent mortgage professional is choice . You’re not limited to one lender’s rules or products. Some lenders will allow you to qualify using 100% of your confirmed return-to-work income , which can make a meaningful difference in your approval amount and overall options. What you’ll need to qualify Most lenders will require an employment letter that includes: Employer name (preferably on company letterhead) Your job title Original start date (to confirm probation has been completed) Confirmed return-to-work date Guaranteed salary upon return Lenders want reassurance that your income will resume once parental leave ends. You may also be asked to provide income history from the past couple of years, which is standard for most mortgage applications. One important note Whether or not you actually return to work after parental leave is entirely your decision. From a mortgage perspective, qualification is based on having a confirmed position available to you at the time of approval. If you have questions about qualifying for a mortgage while on parental leave—or anything mortgage-related—please connect anytime. I’d be happy to walk you through your options and help you plan with confidence.

Need Funds Between Buying and Selling? Here’s How Deposit Loans & Bridge Financing Help

By Zach Silverman • July 8, 2026
You’ve outgrown your current home. It no longer fits your life, so moving makes sense. And you’re not interested in juggling two properties. Selling first and buying something new feels like the right move. Ideally, you want possession of the new home before leaving the old one. That overlap makes moving easier, reduces stress, and gives you time to paint, renovate, or settle in before the boxes arrive. But there’s a common challenge. What if the down payment for your next home is tied up in the equity of the one you’re selling? That’s where bridge financing comes in. How bridge financing works Bridge financing temporarily unlocks equity from your current home once it has a firm sale . It bridges the gap between selling your existing property and purchasing your next one, allowing you to use that equity toward your down payment. What about competitive markets? In a hot market, a strong offer often means a larger deposit . If you don’t have that cash sitting in your account, but you do have equity, a deposit loan can help you compete with confidence. The non-negotiable requirement To qualify for bridge financing or a deposit loan, your current home must have a firm, unconditional sale . No firm sale = no bridge or deposit loan. Lenders need certainty to calculate available equity and manage risk. Bottom line A firm sale is the key that unlocks bridge financing and deposit loans. If you’re planning a move and want to understand how these options could work for you, let’s talk. I’m always happy to walk you through your options and help you plan your next step with confidence.
