NEW MORTGAGE RULES | Coming Soon! ✨ In an effor

NEW MORTGAGE RULES | Coming Soon! ✨

In an effort to assist first-time home buyers with the ever growing concern of affordability, the federal government is making big changes as of December 15th, 2024. Have a peek. ⬇️

1. Insured Mortgage Cap Raised to $1,500,000
• This was previously set at $1m, anything over $1m prior to Dec. 15th required a minimum 20% down payment.
• This is particularly helpful for buyers in expensive markets such as Vancouver & Toronto.
• Breakdown: 5% on first $100,000, 10% on the remaining amount up to $1.5m.

EXAMPLE 🧐
• Prior to Dec 15, 2024 - $1.5m purchase price minimum downpayment = $300,000 + closing costs
• Post Dec. 15, 2024 - $1.5m purchase price minimum downpayment = $125,000 + closing costs

2. 30 Year Amortization Available for ALL First-Time Buyers & ALL New Construction
• Lower monthly payments for first-time buyers struggling with affordability.
• Encourages purchases of newly constructed homes, aimed at driving more development and creating more housing supply.

3. When refinancing you do not need to do the stress test.
• Previously, if you stayed with your current lender you could skip the stress test to refinance. Now, you can shop around to other lenders without having to undergo the stress test.

What do they mean and how might it affect the market? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Both of these measures are intended to free up more cash for first-time buyers trying to get on the property ladder. With the barriers to entry being saving for a downpayment and elevated monthly costs due to elevated mortgage rates, these changes are intended to attempt to soften the blow for fresh homeowners. As interest rates continue to come down and more buyers & sellers hop off the fence - these measures could further revive the housing market as some buyers try to get ahead of these changes coming into effect.

Market Update | July 2024 ⛱️ As we enter into

Market Update | July 2024 ⛱️

As we enter into the last stretch of summer, the numbered days begin to feel more and more valuable as we aim to squeeze in every sun-filled activity possible. With the recent drop in interest rates, while not significant enough to really unleash pandemonium quite yet, we’ve already noticed an increased buzz in the air. Sellers are making meaningful moves to get the outcomes they desire and buyers are coming out of the woodwork with fresh pre-approvals, ready to take advantage of the inventory that’s been piling up over the last five months.

The real estate market is shifting in favour of buyers, though some hesitation remains due to ongoing economic uncertainties. While the economy’s data is not looking overly positive, it’s actually welcome news for mortgage holders. Economists are now predicting cuts in September and October. Where will they land? We’ll soon find out.

As always, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the real estate market. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or just stay informed, our goal is to provide you with the most relevant updates on Vancouver’s ever-evolving real estate landscape. Stay tuned while we spill the tea on your local market so you can stay ahead of the rest! 🫖
