Karen Monday, 25 June 2012Changes to mortgage rules June 25 You may have already heard Finance Minister Jim Flaherty has made some changes to mortgage rules governing Insured Mortgages that will become effective July 9, 2012. The changes include: - Maximum Amortization will be reduced to 25 years from 30 years - Maximum amount of equity that homeowners can take out of their homes will be reduced to 80% from 85% - Government backed mortgags will be limited to homes with a Purchase price of less than $1 million - Maximum gross debt service ratio will be fixed at 39 % and maximum total debt service will be fixed at 44% I see these changes as a positive for our market and consumers as very few people realize the tremendous extra cost in extending your amortization those extra 5 years. As an example, on a $300,000 mortgage at 4% interest you save almost $12,000 in just 5 years! If you look at the full term of the mortgage it will save you approximately $40,000! Remember thats after tax earnings you need to pay for that difference! All that for a monthly payment difference of $150.00. It is important that we understand the positives this brings to our economy as it truly helps everyone in the long run. Karen
