Limited impact seen from mortgage rules
Ottawa's tougher mortgage rules
have sparked a rush by home buyers to get in before the new regulations
take effect Monday, but may not dampen the real estate market
to the extent observers believed.
"When the new mortgage
insurance rules were announced, there was widespread expectations that
this could help to cool the market," said Toronto-Dominion Bank
economist Craig Alexander. "But the true impact should prove limited."
The
rule that was expected to have the most widespread effect says all
borrowers must meet the qualification standards for a five-year fixed-rate mortgage,
even if they choose a variable-rate mortgage or one with a shorter
term.

Busiest March ever for Canadian housing listings
Homeowners across the country are
frantically planting "for sale" signs on their lawns this spring, hoping
to sell at the top of the market before higher rates and tougher
mortgage qualification rules temper the housing sector's incredible
recovery.
A wave of supply hit Canada's housing market in March, with nearly
100,000 new listings. It was the busiest March on record for listings,
according to the Canadian Real Estate
Association (CREA).
The data suggest buyers entered the market to sidestep tougher mortgage
qualification requirements that went into effect on Monday, as well as
to avoid new taxes being introduced in Ontario and British Columbia this
summer.
