What the July 9th CMHC changes mean to you if you are planning to buy housing soon: https://ahmedamin.ca/10-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=10-2 Tue, 19 Apr 2011 11:42:20 +0000 http://ahmedamin.ca/?p=59 What the July 9th CMHC changes mean to you if you are planning to buy housing soon: Bottom line, your purchasers will now qualify for less mortgage if their down payment is 5 or 10% of the purchase price. Example – impact of changes for your purchaser with less than 20% down payment. $300,000 mortgage, currently the borrowers income should be approximately $37,000 to qualify. $300,000 mortgage, as of July 9th income should be $44,600 which is about 20% more income needed to qualify. So a purchaser with an income of $37,000 will now qualify for a mortgage of about $250,000 instead of $300,000. Purchasers (change details) The changes apply to CMHC insured mortgages. For a down payment of less than 20% (of the purchase price) the maximum amortization is 25 years. Previously it was 30 years. A 5% down payment is still acceptable. 30 year amortizations may still be available at the lenders discretion if the down payment is 20% or more. Properties with a purchase price of $1 million or more must have a minimum 20% down payment. Borrowers must income qualify using a 39% GDSR. Which means their mortgage payment, property tax payment and heat (plus 1/2 the condo fee if the property is a condo) should not exceed 39% of the borrowers income before deductions (gross income before income tax, CPP, UI, etc deductions) The TDSR is still 44% (GDSR plus loan, card, line of credit payments) Refinance (increasing a mortgage on a property you own) Maximum mortgage amount is now 80% of the appraised value. Which means CMHC is not insuring refinances. Mortgage rates have remained stable during the summer. Qualifying for a mortgage has tightened up, so it is best to obtain a reliable mortgage pre-approval before you showing properties. A pre-approval will save agent and clients disappointment. Current Rates 2.69% for a 2 year fixed rate (from a bank) 3.04% 5 year fixed rate (non bank lenders) 3.19% 5 year fixed rate (from a bank) 3.89% 10 year fixed rate (non bank lender) 2.65% 5 year term variable rate, prime minus 0.35% (non bank lender) Most of the above special rates are only available with an agreement of purchase and sale. Rates for mortgage pre-approvals are a bit higher but can be discounted when an offer to purchase is made. for more info or if you have a question please email or call
