AS OF JUNE 1ST 2021 THE ‘STRESS TEST’ FOR BORROWERS WILL BE EVEN MORE STRINGENT AND WILL AFFECT BORROWING POWER

Bank of Montreal

Starting on June 1st 2021, Canada’s federal banking regulator has once tightened the rules on the Mortgage Stress Test. This is the percentage rate set by the regulator that borrowers need to qualify at for a mortgage, regardless of what the actual interest rate is at the time of applying. This change will affect both potential home buyers with a 20% down payment or less than 20% down.

The thinking around this is to have borrowers show that they can continue to pay their mortgage on the off chance that rates will rise to the stress level qualifying rate. The stress test will also apply to borrowers who are looking to refinance.

Essentially the stress test will affect borrowing power by Approximately 5%. For example, a family with an annual income of $100,000 with a 20 per cent down payment and five-year fixed mortgage rate of 1.78 per cent amortized over 30 years would qualify for a home valued at $651,000 under the previous 4.79 per cent qualifying rate, according to ratehub.ca.

Under the new stress test rate of 5.25 per cent, that family’s maximum affordability would decrease to $618,000.

CHECK OUT THE APRIL SNAPSTATS FOR THE FRASER VALLEY PLUS GARRY’S MARKET UPDATE

Written by

I hope everyone is continuing to stay safe while also getting to enjoy some of this beautiful sunshine we have been having! I have been keeping a very close eye on this unprecedented market and this is what I am seeing:

The Real Estate Board is processing a record number of new listings however they are also processing a record number of sales. This means that inventory is increasing substantially however demand remains unusually strong. The question is how long will this demand last? If we continue to see this increase in supply it will eventually outweigh the demand. Currently we are seeing that happening on a small scale. Prices from what I can see are starting to plateau, except in the condo market where I am just seeing sale prices start their rise (They are always last to see it).

As we get into the nicer months, we usually see more and more inventory coming to market, so it will be interesting to see what is to come in May/June. As always, I will keep everyone informed!

Take away: From a monetary perspective we do know one thing, there has never been a better time to sell!
