Rule Changes - The Ugly

 


Hope you are all enjoying the summer and getting ready to get back to normal routines.

Back in July, the Canadian Government made changes to the mortgage lending rules and I would like to review four financing situations that highlight how much impact these changes have going forward.

1) Nullified Switch

The Facts: Your existing mortgage with a remaining amortization of more than 25 years is up for renewal. You have less than 20 percent equity. You have found another lender with a great rate but your gross debts exceed 39% of your income.

Apart from setting money aside for Calgary mortgages, more city residents – as well as those living countrywide – may want to increase their emergency savings fund.

According to a poll conducted by CIBC, approximately half of Canadians don't have adequate savings for emergencies. The most likely to be prepared for emergency situations are residents in the 45-to-64-year-old demographic; three in five of these residents have emergency funds.

Christina Kramer, CIBC's executive vice president of retail distribution and channel strategy, indicated having extra money set aside for unforeseen circumstances related to one's home is vital, and many Canadians are recognizing that.

"Our poll shows an opportunity for more Canadians to start building up an emergency fund, to help get them through...
