Is shopping a small mortgage renewal still worth it?

Yes — the percentage saving is the same regardless of balance. Half a point on a $200,000 renewal is about $1,000 a year, for an afternoon of quote-gathering.

Mortgage renewal in New Brunswick

New Brunswick mortgage renewals follow the same federal rules as the rest of Canada, with FCNB (the Financial and Consumer Services Commission) regulating the province's mortgage brokers. Smaller balances make renewal shocks gentler than in central Canada, but the negotiation math is identical — and the province's credit unions and Atlantic-focused lenders give you real quotes to shop.

Shopping your renewal in New Brunswick

The playbook doesn't shrink with the balance: written quotes from at least two competing lenders, a licensed broker for monoline rates, and a direct ask to your lender's retention team. FCNB maintains the provincial broker licence registry if you want to verify who you're dealing with.
