Barrie Housing Market after New Mortgage Rules

Thanks to new mortgage rules implemented on January 1, 2018, it’s gotten a lot more difficult to secure a mortgage. If you’re hoping to get onto the property ladder in Barrie or secure a second mortgage, you might want to avoid Canada’s big banks and other traditional lenders.

Because of stricter lending rules, the Imperial Bank of Commerce expects the number of new mortgages it approves in the second half of 2018 to be half of what it was in the first six months of the year.1

The federal government introduced new regulations in January, requiring borrowers taking out uninsured mortgages to pass a stress-test to ensure they can make their mortgage payments at a rate that is 200 basis points higher than their contracted mortgage. Even if mortgage rates never get to that level.

The new mortgage rules even apply to borrowers who have saved up a down payment of 20% or more. Before 2018, only those borrowers with a small down payment needed to pass a stress test.

It’s only taken a few months for the banks to realize that the new mortgage rules are having a big impact on sales of mortgages and other financial products.

The new mortgage rules were put into place to cool down the red-hot housing markets in Toronto and Vancouver. Unfortunately, there’s more to the Canadian housing market than Toronto and Vancouver, which means those looking to secure a residential or commercial mortgage in Barrie are going to be limited to the size of mortgage they can take out.

The new mortgage rules will also severely limit the amount of debt Canadians can borrow, refinance, and renew.

This could spell trouble for those living in Barrie or looking to move to Barrie. Thanks to a booming economy, housing in Barrie is already unaffordable for those with average incomes.

It’s not just the strong economy fueling Barrie’s strong real estate market, Barrie is just a one hour’s drive north of Toronto. It’s also just a two-hour commute to Toronto via GO Train. Would-be homeowners in Toronto who have been squeezed out of the local market are moving north and getting more for less.

To secure a commercial or residential mortgage, a home equity loan, second and third mortgages, tax arrears mortgages, or bad credit mortgages, as well as renew a mortgage and consolidate debt, the only place to turn is to Canadalend.com.
