I was recently joined by mortgage broker Bob Reader to discuss the latest with interest rates. Here’s what we learned. There have been some big changes in the real estate and mortgage market this year, which is causing confusion, myths, and misinformation that may be affecting homeowners and home buyers. Today Bob Reader joins me to help explain this problem and how to solve it. Bob is a mortgage broker, which means he works for the buyer instead of the bank. He helps his clients shop the entire market, look at every option, and act as an agent for the consumer. When you have someone that’s working for you instead of working for the bank, you’re going to see a much better shopping experience. With these new changes, everyone who is applying for a mortgage now has to qualify for the stress test rate, which is 2% higher than the best rate that is being offered. Right now, that rate is at 5.14%. This has dropped affordability for buyers anywhere from 16% to 20%. In Calgary, we haven’t seen a dramatic affect on home affordability, but other markets like Vancouver and Toronto have been affected quite dramatically. If you already have a mortgage, lending institutions generally don’t require any qualification for renewing a mortgage after the end of the term. However, if you want to take some of your equity out to pay off some debt, you will have to re-qualify with the stress test, but a simple mortgage renewal shouldn’t require any of this. “The variable mortgage probably offers the best chance of saving money right now.” We have been hearing a lot from buyers about some first-time home buyer programs disappearing. However, anyone who wants to buy a home in Canada only needs to put 5% down, whether it’s their third or their first home. There’s really no restriction on down payment requirements, and we’re pretty much in the same ballpark as we were before. Finally, let’s discuss interest rates. With them creeping up, should buyers go for a variable or a fixed-term? According to Bob, it depends on the buyer. However, the variable rate mortgage probably holds the best chance of saving money right now. Over the last 12 years, rates have remained very stable and there’s no reason to expect them changing dramatically anytime soon. Thanks to Bob for joining us. If you have any questions for him, don’t hesitate to give him a call at 403-819-0500 or send him an email to Bob@canadianmortgagepro.com. If you have any other questions for us about the market or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
