Page 33: Canada’s Housing Market€¦ · Housing Market Scorecard Based on a house at the HPI benchmark price. 1 = Buyers’ market if sales/new listings ratio exceeds 0.5 standard deviations

Demand Drivers

− Tougher mortgage rules 2010/12: Insured mortgage no longer available for:

Terms longer than 25 years

Homes priced above $1 million

If housing costs exceed 39% of gross income

Eff. Feb. 15/2016: Minimum down payment rises from 5% to 10% on portion of home price above $500k; higher capital requirements for lenders; higher fees on government-backed mortgages.

Eff. Oct/Nov 2016: higher qualifying rate on 5-year and longer fixed rate mortgages; new rules apply to portfolio-insured mortgages; closed tax loophole on sales of “principal” residences

Eff. Jan 2018: higher qualifying rate on uninsured mortgages; restrictions on bundled loans

New Supply

+ Housing starts are trending close to (higher) household formations. No sign of overbuilding

− Homebuilders challenged to keep up with condo demand in the GVA and GTA, partly due to zoning restrictions and approval delays. Leads to higher prices and diminished affordability. Ontario Government proposals could reduce development charges and approval times, speeding up supply

+ While condo units under construction are near record highs in Vancouver and Toronto, most are sold and are needed to meet household formation. Very lean standing inventory
