New regulation lead to 44% drop in CMHC mortgages

334
334 Comments

If you’re buying with less than 20% down, you’re a ‘high-risk’ borrower and you’re probably using CMHC insurance on your mortgage. New regulations are having a big impact on buyers in this zone with new CMHC mortgages dropping by 44%. Bullwhip29 pointed out this article in BIV:

Through the first half of 2017, CMHC-insured mortgages had dropped to 95,000, down from 118,000 in the first half of 2016.

In October 2016, the federal government began a stress test for approving all high-ratio insured mortgages with terms of five years or more. It required such borrowers to prove they can handle payments at the Bank of Canada’s posted five-year rate, which is about twice as high as the lowest lending rates available.

Bring on stress test, part deux!

It’s bound to stress out all the recent home buyers.

Mortgage brokers will fudge the applications a little bit more. Nothing to see here.

UBS bank says $500 billion of mortgages in Australia are liar loans.

Only when income for mortgages is directly obtained from CRA will liar loans go away.

But they will never do that. It would collapse the domestic ponzi.

moron, up until very recently the banks weren’t required to verify such silly little details like “income” and “employment” for a variety of mortgage products which were almost as simple to get approved as a dept store credit card. i suppose with the fake job/immigration/money laundering boiler rooms that have been setup in various locales across the country, the weasels have managed yet again to stay one step ahead of the pack.

According to the recent NDP budget they have committed to the first time home owners program for the next 3 years. Yes 3 years! 800 have bought and 800 approved so far and they project 9000 more to be approved under the NDP!

Two controversial housing policies from the former BC Liberal government have found their home in the NDP’s September budget update. This includes the BC Liberals’ Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership program…
over the next three years due to “significantly lower” demand projections: 2,600 applications had been fielded at the end of June, with 800 individuals having purchased a home, and another 800 approved for one. The new government now expects to offer loans to 9,000 individuals.

The only question NDP voters should have at this point is are the NDP really this incompetent in implementing their housing plan that they have to stick to the status quo for a few years or are they corrupt? I say both. Whoregan is looking to maximize cash for access donations while he can and he put useless Selina on the file knowing she is clueless as a cover.

The 76% budgeted funding cut due to “significantly lower” demand projections based on only 1600 qualifying so far. That is just the money they are allocating in the budget which may change depending on actual people that qualify. It is projected at 9000 buyers to be financed over 3 years under the NDP. Bottom line the program is in place to fund as many people that qualify over the next 3 years with no change to the program.

“According to the recent NDP budget they have committed to the first time home owners program for the next 3 years.”

The linked article doesn’t say anything of the sort. It just reports a projection of the payout from the program for the next 3 years. Governments don’t actually commit to any program beyond the next budget.

My own take is that the NDP is looking at what the BoC and Feds are doing, and what’s happening in Toronto, and want to wait until next spring before taking substantive measures. If a bust looks to be on the way they, like any government, would like someone else to take the blame.

That’s exactly what they are doing. They’re scared to do anything. It’s the nature of politicians and government.

Anybody who voted NDP for their housing policy should be outraged. They’ve had 16 years to come up with a plan and the whole point of an election is to present your plan to the public. It’s not as if the NDP didn’t understand the problem or have a plan.

When the BC Liberals were implementing a foreign buyers tax last year at this time you seemed to have outrage they were not doing enough but now it is prudent for the NDP to wait to see what the feds might do. Even after the NPD campaigned on taking action and the Liberals never did. Hilarious. You have zero credibility.

Meth, you still think the NDP are going to do something about housing?

If the Greens bring down the NDP due to housing inaction I would vote Green for sure ( and I never in a million years would have ever said that). I am completely outraged at the NDP. I voted for them for one reason and they aren’t doing a damn thing about it contrary to their entire election campaign. After the next election it will be another 20 years before they see power again. God they are a bunch of idiots!

I’m done with the NDP. Their delay and inaction means they in it for themselves. I’d rather have liberals than these liars. At least they are openly corrupt so you expect certain things.

Yes, and don’t vote for PR. Just vote for Greens next time even if it means Liberals getting to power. These MLA’s have no fucking clue. They are digging their graves.

Yes, I do think they will.

And I am willing to give them until the Feb budget to implement a comprehensive plan on housing, because squawking like idiots about how they haven’t fixed everything after a few weeks is so…….so VCI.

I hope you’re right but I don’t think so. I understand taking time but the New Home Buyers down payment scam needed no thinking. The fact that they are reviewing the numbers about potential costs over the next 3 years for that program tells me it’s staying. If that’s the case they are in the same boat of “we don’t want to be the ones who kills the market”. Which means status quo

Carol James was on Global BC 6pm news tonight and she stated on camera the “comprehensive” plan for housing will be coming in February 2018 including taxes, the renters rebate and any ideas people bring forward. I kid you not Feb 2018 they will update “the plan”. LOL.

I’d have a few “ideas” for her. How about a province-wide:
– vacant property tax
– foreign buyer tax or ban
– punitive anti-speculation/flipping tax
– ban on illegal suites on airbnb
– killing of the Liberal first time buyer teaser loan program
– increase in taxes for non primary residential properties
– ban on ALR mega-homes

That would be a good start. I don’t expect the NDP will do any of it, but these measures would definitely fix the affordability crisis…. and plunge the province into a miserable recession. The devil is in the details…

How about enforcement of illegal suites full stop? If a property’s purchase price can’t work without an illegal mortgage helper then it’s overpriced.

All great ideas, and I bet they implement most of them.

Because a comprehensive plan on housing doesn’t get done a few weeks when it’s this far gone and it shouldn’t be introduced piecemeal either.

Lot’s of discussions need to take place with the Feds and municipalities as well.

My take on the inaction by the NDP is this:

Housing has become the #1 driver of our economy. If government puts in policy that leads to sharp drops in prices, builders will purposely stop building and start laying off workers. Result would be a recession.

These MLAs and insiders are in it for the long run to essentially enrich themselves.

Otherwise, if it were the voters who they were representing, they would have brought in even minor housing policies by now.

My prediction is they won’t do much until the next election. Definitely nothing at the Feb budget.

Do nothing about the housing crisis and Andrew Weaver will start a non-confidence vote and we’ll be back to the polls again. The NDP will be forced to do something if they want to stay in power.

If the Greens force another election, regardless of the outcome, they will never get another opportunity for power like they have now. The NDP on the other hand will be around for the long haul. Both parties know this perfectly well.

Not so sure about that. If Weaver plays it correctly, he can make it look like inaction on housing or PR is NDPs holding Greens back. This could definitely win them a few more seats in the lower mainland. This is a long game obviously as the more seats they take, the more legitimacy their party has. They won’t take any more power next election, but they should have more legitimacy. And the momentum begins there. Of course, I could be watching way too many political dramas and this theory is bunk…

“This could definitely win them a few more seats in the lower mainland.” How about giving us some examples of seats that the GP has a chance of winning in the lower mainland. Remember they came a poor third in all of them, except West Van, where they came a poor second. I also think a few words from Weaver himself are appropriate here: Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver is telling critics upset with the NDP’s failure to include $10-a-day childcare in the recent budget update to expect a lot of compromise in the province’s unique political climate. The NDP had promised to create a $10-a-day childcare program during the spring election campaign, but Weaver says campaign promises are “irrelevant” with a minority government. “Campaign promises in this situation are not what’s important,” he said. “The reality is B.C.

Weaver is against a non means tested $10 day care program. He is not against increasing and expanding the foreign buyers tax, putting restrictions on farmland and increasing property taxes and property purchase taxes for higher end homes. He is also on record 2 weeks ago stating the NDP are “being too quite” on housing. Nice try to spin it. This is all on the NDP.

How do you test the mean? Are daycare center required to get everyone’s tax returns and forward to provincial government for the means test? Given the government inefficiencies and those highly paid but only works 2 hrs union workers, all the means test will probably cost 3x what it will save.

Not to mention, all those housewives in Audis have $0 income which means they get the $10 daycare anyways. Remember, we don’t test for asset for social services, only income. Any support for asset wealth tests brings screams of horror and disgust from the locals….what about all the poor seniors they will shout!? It’s so unfair!

Zero chance the Greens pull the plug short of them polling at 40%, which will never happen. They’re not going anywhere until they get electoral reform and that’s all they are playing for. In the meantime, Weaver will try to demonstrate that the Greens are a moderate party because he wants the public to believe it’s worth trying PR. His biggest fear are his two Green MLAs or Green supporters doing looney things because the public will see the futility of giving marginal parties the balance of power. HIs biggest fear will be construction of Kinder Morgan this Fall and next Spring. That’s going to be a major wedge issue and he won’t be able to sit on both sides of the fence. The loons will act up and he will not denounce them, short of outright terrorism, which isn’t… Read more »

NDP figured out that the corruption, rot and sketchy dealings set in place by the Libs run deeper than anyone expected and that all/most bases were already covered a long time ago in terms safeguards which would prevent anyone from undermining what is currently in place. Unfortunately, this spells trouble for Horgan who will quickly lose all credibility. I am also hearing that members of the former administration are working feverishly to ensure class action suit headed up by Jing Li is a success and that the FBT is abolished under Horgan’s command.

Damn fuckers….last refugees to Canadians being overrun and everyone is too damn lazy to stop it. Maybe I will actually need to pay $10/pp to raise a Filipino and Indian border army to stop it.

There’s a subtext here. Point Roberts is popular in American legal circles as a location for Witness Protection housing.

>>> sure, whatever guys…i’m certain this decision had nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that this stop just happened to be located in the most wretched neighborhood in canada.

Er, the article states clearly that the route still stops at Main+Hastings – and that’s the closest stop to the one being taken out. Did you even read it?

Yes, the lack of computers will real hinder their progress….20 years from now, they would still be stuck where they are now, while Canada … well at the rate we are going, we will be all adhering to Sharia law while having 9 different bathrooms for all the different genders, and having our kids reciting the LGBQTAB…. instead of the alphabet.

At least the burka will reduce the gender identification error…

The China Hustle: TIFF doc examines how Chinese companies got listed on North American exchanges
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/the-china-hustle-doc-examines-chinese-companies-listed-on-north-american-exchanges/article36250373

The China Hustle centres on Dan David, a Pennsylvania money manager who, in the late 2000s, says he earned impressive returns on such Chinese stocks before realizing the companies were problematic.

cont’d… Carson Block, the chief investment officer of Muddy Waters Capital, whose 2011 report on Sino-Forest alleging the Hong Kong-based firm was wildly overstating its assets helped bring down what at the time was the most valuable forestry-products company listed on a Canadian exchange. The film also notes the suspicion with which Chinese authorities treat those who might try to get at the truth of a company’s claims. It includes the story of Kun Huang, a Chinese-Canadian citizen imprisoned for two years in China after the hedge fund for which he was working as a researcher issued a report questioning the value of ore deposits at a Chinese mine owned by Silvercorp Metals Inc., which is listed on the TSE.

And it places the blame on North American regulators and companies, such as investment banks handling stock offerings, for looking the other way in order to serve Western investors eager to buy into the fast-growing Chinese economy.

A postscript notes that there are more than 100 Chinese companies currently listed on U.S. exchanges, with a value exceeding $1.1-trillion (U.S.).

The film centres on Dan David, a Pennsylvania money manager who, in the late 2000s, says he earned impressive returns on such Chinese stocks as Puda Coal and China Integrated Energy before realizing the companies were problematic. (A website published by Mr. David, stopthechinahustle.org, notes that Puda Coal raised more than $128-million in capital, and is now worth almost nothing.)

cont’d… He turned to short-selling, and began lobbying U.S. politicians and regulators to clamp down on the problem. (The film has a scene of Mr. David trying unsuccessfully to press his case at a July, 2016, U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing, where politicians such as Elizabeth Warren appear more interested in trade imbalances.) The film’s executive producers include the billionaire investor Mark Cuban and Alex Gibney, a well-known documentary filmmaker who, at a screening over the weekend, drew a parallel between the China Hustle scandals and the scheme at the heart of his 2005 Oscar-nominated Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. At a question-and-answer session, Mr. Gibney noted that most people trying to make sense of Enron’s finances were blithely credulous until Bethany McLean, a Fortune magazine reporter, “asked the simple question, she just said over and over again:… Read more »

And everybody here is going to feel it, because every pension is in it.” In an interview with The Globe, the film’s director, Jed Rothstein, noted that money managers from the West are increasingly looking to invest in mainland Chinese companies: Over the summer, the MSCI announced it would put more than 200 Chinese companies in its world indexes next year. “The short of it is we’re becoming more integrated,” he said. “So, to find out the regulatory system, and the rules governing this increasingly global market system, are stuck in the 20th century, when money now moves in a 21st-century pace, was very troubling.” The film includes archival footage of raucous investment… Read more »

True. indians by nature just hate corrupt individuals/gov/societies. Corruption exists in India because the minority elite “beat down” the poor working class populace.

In Canada, the working class is not “beaten down” they are already “dumbed down”. Lol

Yan said the new national income figures support the argument that speculation and certain amounts of foreign investment are driving home prices in Vancouver and Toronto especially, while other national housing markets are generally aligned with local job markets.

Every line you have ever written was geared to say: foreign buyers? Yes, but….
There is increasing recognition by experts (Dr Yan, Dr Ley) that the importance of corrupt money in our market is a major driver of prices.

Some clarity today.

Green Party said they would never support $10 daycare or $400 renter credit. Thus it is dead in water. Fair enough as we know not to expect them.

Whats left?

1) The 2% foreign owner and 2nd home tax.
2) FBT province wide and no exemptions unless Perm residents/Citizens. Tax payable in advance on Presales and not rebatable.
3) CRA and Provincial registry to catch Cap Gains evaders.

Thats all thats needed.

If the Greens and NDP can tell us what they going to do then at least we can know what to expect.

Irrelevant as this is the level 5 yrs ago. Most people renewing won’t see mortgage rates rise (most people are on 5 yr fixed).

If the Bond yields are much higher than 5 year ago levels, then people renewing see higher rates.

Sorry but this is a non-event.

Oracle, you’re so fucking desperate to pump housing.

Wrong. I want housing to go down.

You just think I’m pumping the market up when I’m stating facts. Seriously, give your head a shake.

For the last few years, I’ve stated my facts and did the market go down? NO. It went higher.

So I’m not pumping it. Just stating facts that keep it going higher.

And you are so desperate for cheap housing with hard work, just because you were born in Vancouver, so you blame everything and everyone but yourself for your failure. Even more pathetic.

Things would have to get pretty bad before people’s renewals affect house prices much. Buyers are going to see purchasing power cut, plus OSFI.

False. Less than a quarter of mortgages are variable according to CMHC.

OK, let’s do the math.
25% are variable rates (so they are screwed). Of the remaining 75%, roughly 1/5 renews every year. Even if all of them had a 5 year fixed rate, that would mean that each year an extra 15% are facing renewal.
So, 25+15=40% of mortgage holders will see rates that are significantly higher than what they were expecting just 6 months ago. Almost half of all borrowers.

Leaving aside the fact that that’s not what Abdul said, anybody renewing a 5 year fixed today is actually renewing into a lower rate than what they were already paying.

What rates were 6 months ago makes zero difference to them.

You must pay a bit more attention. I was quite careful to write the following: “…40% of mortgage holders will see rates that are significantly higher than what they were expecting just 6 months ago.”

I am well aware that for some of them rates might not change or be marginally lower. Nonetheless, these borrowers had probably relied on having a much bigger discount at renewal. This will be felt, especially if they are highly leveraged.

Of course, for the 1 in 4 borrowers who are on variables rates, the pain is direct, unavoidable and equally unexpected. These guys will take a big hit, no matter what.

Yes, I’d seen the key word “expecting”, but you miss the entire point that no matter their expectations they’d been successfully meeting a monthly obligation of the same or higher amount for 5 years.

And in the context of the discussion it’s clear to anybody that although rates have increased recently there are very few people that will see any immediate negative effect.

I miss no point. And I wrote as much.
I am just saying, they are significantly worse off than they would have been otherwise (and than what they expected).
This is good news for our housing market (meaning, it puts a ceiling on prices).

They’re not worse off, as I explained. How is renewing into a lower rate making people worse off at all let alone “significantly worse off”?

Expectations are irrelevant. The only people impacted today are variable rate holders, which make up less than a quarter of mortgages.

Developer of cancelled Cambie condo could face legal backlash, says lawyer
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/developer-of-cancelled-cambie-condo-could-face-legal-backlash-says-lawyer-1.4288117

>>> pre-sale buyers are $hit out of luck here as developer will play the bankruptcy card if needed and assets will be transferred to another “non arm’s length” party who will lay low until the dust clears then move forward with plans to either flip the land or market another tranche of presales at way higher valuations. given all the crap that goes on this hick town, i have little confidence the regulators and authorities (who are still figuring out what the lay of the land is) will have both the inclination and power to do anything about the matter

If everything that’s done is legal, what do you suppose the authorities to do about it? You think police should stop new drivers and fine them just because you don’t think it’s fair they can drive a $200K super car while you can’t?

nothing to do with super cars…wtf are you babbling about now? this is breach of contract. there are supposed to be laws in place to enforce this. seeing as we have become a banana republic I am not convinced that (1) anything is done to appease original buyers since xiangli will force presale buyers to take deal or play bankruptcy card and (2) anything is done to stop developer under new shell co name from relaunching project. xiangli is essentially ripping up original contracts, will then transfer assets into new holding co and start over at higher prices. they may also opt to take page out of julia lau’s/suncom playbook and flip land. could you imagine a seller of typical det home trying to pull of this stunt because he found after the fact he could have sold for 2x… Read more »

Have you ever read a pre-sales contract? Off course not since you never buy presales!

All presales contracts allow developers to cancel due to a variety of reasons, including but not limited to inability to complete the project due to regulatory or financial reasons. Given that city refuse to give a permit, that alone qualifies. Never mind other conditions that allows developers to give up deposits, etc.

SFH homes on secondary market don’t have permit issues like developers, despite how much you want the city to enable the old laws of No Chinese owners convent on property deeds.

i’m sorry, but claims of financing (or permitting) difficulties for what is supposed to be a seasoned, global real estate conglomerate involved in a sold out condo project on vancouver’s west side (slated to be steps from a new cda line station i might add) don’t seem plausible in the least. they certainly can’t blame troubles on a weak market or the FBT, can they? imho this co is deliberately dragging their feet, submitting plans they know full well wont get approved and attempting to whip the rug out from under all the original buyers now that the market has gone a certain way for them. the legalese fine print in contracts is supposed to be there to cover the builder’s a$$ should unforeseen circumstances occur, not provide a backdoor for them to eff their customers without recourse should another,… Read more »

Christine Zhu landed in Toronto from China in 1996 with two suitcases to her name. Now, after receiving her real estate license in 2005, she owns five properties across the GTA. She says that in some ways, she feels like she never really left China. Through her own experiences and social media app WeChat, she has been able to guide her many clients living in China, looking to make their move to Toronto. Zhu figured out how to use the app and quickly recognized how her new social network could connect her to Chinese students looking to attend university in Toronto, and to their parents as well.

“Homeowners across most parts of Canada are facing the prospect of watching their houses fall in value over the next five years, reversing the trend after several years of price increases, according to a new housing forecast from Moody’s Analytics.”

“A report by Moody’s director Andres Carbacho-Burgos says a combination of higher interest rates, new mortgage-lending rules and declining affordability mean that house prices in many cities across Canada are likely to fall in coming years.”
