Jim Flaherty moves to slow down Canada's Housing market



Now couldn’t be a better time to call Metro City Mortgages…

 The Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP) has released their
 Annual State of the Residential Mortgage Market in Canada Report and the findings are a little staggering…   the changes to mortgage insurance criteria are unnecessarily jeopardizing the health of Canada’s housing markets and the broader economy.  as stated by CAAMP chief economist Will Dunning, and notes that the opinions he expresses are his own “and are strongly felt.”

The Globe and Mail posted an article (see link below) that states The CAAMP report suggests that more than 16 per cent of the high-ratio borrowers (that is, those with a down payment of less than 20 per cent) who obtained a mortgage in 2010 would no longer qualify if they had sought that same mortgage under today’s rules.”
