New mortgage rules could affect what you qualify for by 20 points: OneStreet Mortgage

This yesterday from our friends at OneStreet Mortgage.


"Effective October 17, 2016, all insured homebuyers must qualify for mortgage insurance at an interest rate the greater of their contract mortgage rate or the Bank of Canada’s conventional five-year fixed posted rate. This requirement is already in place for high-ratio insured mortgages with variable interest rates or fixed interest rates with terms less than five years. What does this mean for the average household?"
