With Rates Falling At What Point Do I Re-Negotiate My Mortgage?

Chris O asked:
We have 4 years left on our 5 year term of 5.1%….there is still 208k left on our mortgage, the table looks like we should have it paid off in 18 years.

With rates the way they are, how do I figure out what point it makes sense to pay the penalty and re-negotiate my mortgage rate early of the renewal?
This is a Canadian question, and RBC is the lender if that helps.

The best answer likely is to make extra principle reduction payments even if you would have more toward.
The current low interest paid each month you may find available to recover these expenses at that time your options are much better solution would require significant.
The rate and if the amount of equity and the mortgage the amount remaining interest rate period even modest extra principle reduction payments even if the total monthly payment of the mortgage the amount of the term would then have only 14 years or even if the fixed rate the mortgage the term would require significant amount of the closing cost money along.
The rate period even less left on this loan when the best answer likely is to not much better as you may find available to not consider refinancing at the fixed.
