Earlier this month, the Bank of England scrapped its mortgage affordability stress test. With mortgage rates now north of 4% and 5%, and presumably approaching their peak for this rate-hike cycle, some are wondering if changes to Canada’s stress test are overdue. The stress test’s history The mortgage stress test requires both insured and uninsured mortgage borrowers to prove they can meet monthly mortgage payments based on a rate of 5.25% or two percentage points higher than their contract...

As of June 2022, we are currently seeing unnatural discrepancies in the size of mortgage loans borrowers will qualify for, and it’s all because of a rift in the space-time stress test continuum. You see, most 5-year fixed mortgage rates are already over 5%, making their stress test a full 2% higher at 7% or more. Concurrently, the mortgage stress test rate for variable mortgages is still a comparatively low 5.25% or so. In order to maximize the amount homebuyers can qualify for, many borrowers...

Despite today’s mortgage borrowers having to qualify at rates in excess of 6% and 7%, Canada’s banking regulator said no changes to the stress test are imminent. In a speech last week, the head of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI), Peter Routledge, threw cold water on the prospect of the regulator making any tweaks to its stress test for uninsured mortgages, or those with down payments of 20% or more. “The uncertainty and anxiety caused by a rising interes...

There’s been a great deal of discussion recently over the mortgage stress tests and whether it makes sense to maintain the current policy parameters in this period of elevated interest rates. In this two-part series, I’ll explore the premise of the mortgage stress tests and their current relevance in the context of today’s sharply higher interest rates and worsening economic conditions. A recap: What is the mortgage stress test? Most new residential mortgages in Canada are subject to “st...

Notwithstanding some additional rate hikes last week, fixed mortgage rates have seemingly plateaued following a stellar run-up over the past several months.

Over the past few weeks, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate from Freddie Mac fell by half a percent. The drop happened over concerns about a potential recession. And since mortgage rates have risen dramatically this year, homebuyers across the country should see this decline as welcome news. Freddie Mac reports that the average 30-year rate was down to 5.30% from 5.81% two weeks prior (see graph below): But why is this recent dip such good news for homebuyers?

Bond yields surged to a fresh 14-year high this week, driving expectations that fixed rates are likely to continue rising. As we reported last week, the Government of Canada 5-year bond yield was already on its way up, crossing the 3.20% threshold. Well, on Monday it broke the 3.51% barrier. This is important because the 5-year bond yield is the best indicator for future moves in 5-year fixed mortgage rates. Fixed mortgage rates have already been trending higher, with discounted, nationally a...
