The Blue Mountains Real Estate Market is Shifting: How New Mortgage Rules Affect You!

BIG NEWS my dear Buyers: Canadian Mortgage Rules Get a Major Overhaul – Is now the time to act? In a game-changing move, the federal government has dramatically reshaped mortgage insurance rules. The headline change? The CMHC insured mortgage cap has jumped to $1.5 million from its previous $1 million limit, significantly reducing down payment requirements.

What does this mean for buyers in real terms?

A  $1.2 million home that previously required a $240,000 down payment will now need just $95,000. Additionally, first-time buyers can now stretch their amortization to 30 years instead of 25.

Interest Rate Decline: What Does a 5.45% Prime Rate Mean for You?

With the current prime lending rate of 5.45%, buyers can lock in lower monthly payments. This means more buying power and lower overall mortgage costs, making it a great time to buy in the Blue Mountains, whether you’re upsizing, buying a first home, or looking for a cottage.

While metropolitan areas will likely see the biggest impact, these changes are expected to energize the entire real estate market including our wonderful Southern Georgian Bay area.
