The Federal Government is still getting big pressure to change the criteria it takes to get a mortgage, but it looks as if they have dropped the idea up upping the down payment needed.
Feds look At Mortgage Changes Blog Transcription
Hey
there! Rob Reynar here checking in, just wanna talk about some proposed
changes to the way mortgages are doled out in this country. Jim
Flaherty the Finance Minister had talked about raising the amount of
down needed on a mortgage in order to make sure that people in this
country weren't over extending themselves, that was clearly not a good
idea. You shouldn't have to double the amount you need now. That's not
a sign of financial strength but what is, is making certain mortgages a
little tougher to get. Say a variable over a fixed rate if the variable
rate goes up, can you still make the payments? If you want a variable
mortgage maybe it'll be a little tougher to get it. I think that is
more in line with where the Federal Government should be looking if
they're thinkging of toughening banking rules. But I guess the question
is because the real estate market is so hot and interest rates aer so
low, does the Federal Government need to tighten the way mortgages are
doled out in this country? Love to hear from you on this,

buh bye!
