Bank of Canada Reduces the Stress Test to 4.79%

General

Posted by: Adam Sale

The mortgage stress test lowered today from 4.94% to 4.79%.

After running a quick calculation using:

  • Income of 100k
  • 10% down payment
  • Applicable Vancouver Property taxes
  • Condo fees of $300
  • Heat $50

Maximum purchase price has increased from $537,000 to $552,000.

If this same client used a down-payment of 20% (138K), the maximum amount we could qualify them for using amortization 30 years is a property worth approximately $690,000.

If you would like to more information regarding a potential mortgage situation please give me a call at 778-215-4121.

Sincerely,

Adam Sale
