Mortgages Canada

Statistics Canada reports that home prices fell in Canada by 0.1% which is a good sign, since the decline is very small. The prices in Saskatoon dropped 1.2% followed by Hamilton and Edmonton. The reasons for the drop are not clear. For instance builders in Saskatoon just lowered prices because they were able to save on building materials, while house companies in Hamilton dropped prices just to boost the sales.

The Quebec city, Toronto and Montreal saw a rise in prices.

Prices Fell - Good or a Bad Thing?

The more credit there is on the market, the less value your dollar has, and the less you can buy with it. The fiat monetary system has inflation built into to it, and there is no way to avoid it. The more credit banks give out, which is considered a good thing economically, the less value a dollar has, hence the prices go up, on everything, including building materials for homes (as a result real estate prices go up to). As the banks tightened lending, no credit is pumped into the economy, and in some cases money supply is in fact contracted, by calling in the loans. This causes many people and businesses to go into default, allowing banks to buy up property and companies at pennies on the block. Its on of the biggest scams, yet people call it the “business cycle”. Well if crashing economy and then swallowing real physical assets for fractions of their cost are called a business cycle, then the system plainly sucks.

At the height of the financial crisis, when the credit markets were at their slowest, Canadian Government in Ottawa has stepped up and offered to buy $125 billion in mortgages from Canadian banks to help them raise cash and go through the bad times. The strategy worked flawlessly, as Canadian banks weathered the storm with only few major problems, and no taxpayer bailout like in the US.

Some of the analysts however, state that the mortgage packages sold by the banks to Ottawa may backfire on their future profits. In total, Canadian banks have sold $275 billions worth of mortgages. That is close to one quarter of all mortgages in Canada. The deal has been the source of almost 15% of major banks profits this year, and may not exist next year, when the banks will have to release their balance sheets again.

“There is little doubt that in a time of poor liquidity, it ensured mortgage credit continued to flow and that Canada’s banks remained liquid,” the BMO analysts wrote. But they cautioned: “We are concerned that we could be pushing this process too far.”

Though a part of the Canadian financial system securitization has been a major ingredient that led to the stall of the US mortgage market. This however may backfire, since the banks decided to increase their mortgage portfolio at the expense of government securitization.

Considered a “boring” system, Canada has withstood and keeps withstanding the crisis extremely well in comparison to US. While US banks receive massive bailouts and near bankruptcy, Canadian banks record minimum losses, and in fact continue to make profits?

What is it our south neighbors can learn from Canadian banking system:

• A tight government control over Canadian property and mortgage market.
• Strict capital requirements for all banks operating in Canada.
• Intensive regulatory spot checks

On top of laws and regulations, Canadians are largely more focused on savings than on debt. Instead of getting as much debt as one can afford (or as we know, sometimes that’s not even the case), Canadians get credit only for what they need to live comfortably, making extra payments and keeping a tight eye on their expenses.

Grant Rasmussen, head of the Canadian division of Swiss bank UBS, traces the strength of the system to 1998 and a decision by former finance minister Paul Martin to refuse a merger of two large Canadian banks. It received a mixed reaction at the time but Martin’s actions prevented any one bank becoming too large and potentially taking on much greater risks overseas. This policy has continued. “We are comfortable with not giving priority to bank mergers and I think it has served us well,” says Flaherty.

Home owners may claim that they do not have a mortgage, but do they really? Every one with a home needs to understand that having no “classic” mortgage on a property does not mean there’s no mortgage at all.

If you have a home equity loan or home equity line of credit, it means that you have a mortgage. Home equity loans and home equity lines of credit are signed against the property, meaning that if you fail to pay, lender has the right to sell it in order to recover debt.

There are different credit options available. One of them is unsecured borrowing, where no security is needed to get the money. Bank lends solely on your promise, and analysis of your financial ability to repay, however unsecured loans are small. To get bigger bucks lenders require a security, and having a security on a house for a loan, means having a mortgage.

Genworth Financial a US based mortgage insurer will sell 44.7 million shares worth $850 million, at $19 dollars each. Underwriters will be given an option to sell additional $127 million worth of Genworth stock on the Canadian markets.

The profits from the sale will go to Genworth US, while $97 million will be used to cover some debt and to continue growing business in Canada.

Genworth is hoping to involve entire Canadian dealer community. If the deal is successful, then Genworth will hold majority stake at 56%, leaving minority to the public.

Earlier, Dutch Company ING Group did a similar move, selling minority to the public, before selling the company completely into public markets. There is no information at this point whether Genworth Financial is planning to sell off its Canadian operations into the public domain.

Fixed rate mortgages vary by term length and interest rates. Lenders also have different terms, however most loans are very similar to one another.

10 and 15 year mortgages have lowest interest rates due to the low repayment period. The downside is the fact that few borrowers can afford it.

The 30, 20, 25 and 15 year fixed rate mortgages are the most popular. The rate on the 25 is about the same on the 30 and lower than 20. The interest rate on the 10 and 15 are the same, while 20 is higher.

Usually there’s no rate advantage to choosing 30 year mortgage over 25, however the payment varies slightly due to shorter amortization period. If your goal is to pay off sooner, then go for 25. Payments are almost similar and you cut off extra 5 years of interest rates.

The 20 year long mortgages are made for borrowers who want to pay off the loan as soon as they can, but cant quite fit into the 15 year bracket, since it is slightly higher.

The 5 year difference in mortgages do make much difference in terms of interest rates, so if you can, always go for a shorter one. The payment is higher, but you brush off 5 years worth of interest instantly, which is always a positive thing.

In general you should refinance over modification, since refinance can help you save more money in the long run if you get a mortgage at a significantly lower interest rate. The savings depends on the rate you are paying relative to the refinanced mortgage and how much it will cost you. Keep in mind that if you have a closed mortgage, penalties will be worth at least three months of interest rates, which will move break event point at least 2 years ahead.

Lets take an example. If your current interest rate is 5.7% (very good in today market), you would beat it only if you are a “perfect” borrower, meaning that you own at least 20% of the property, have credit score above 740, and have sufficient debt to income ratio. Because of the global financial problem “perfect” borrower definition keeps getting tighter and tighter.

If the financial market remains as it is now and you fail on any specs of the above, you might not get the best deal with the refinance and in fact lose some money. If your home equity is 25% or less, you will be required to have mortgage insurance, which again takes out more money out of the savings.

Mortgages rise slightly

Canada’s big banks followed the lead of Royal Bank and raised their long-term fixed-rate mortgages on Tuesday, the first such increase in eight months.

Loonie shrugs off BoC

The Bank of Canada hinted yesterday that it was beginning to get uncomfortable with the rising dollar, suggesting its rapid ascent could undermine an economic recovery. But traders paid little attention to the central bank’s concern, contained in its latest fixed-date rate announcement. They pushed up the currency by nearly another US1¢ and recouped some of the US2¢ loss sustained on Wednesday.

Economy has reached a turning point: Scotiabank

In one of the first major forecasts to be published since the first-quarter growth numbers were released for Canada on Monday, the Bank of Nova Scotia now believes the global economy has reached a turning point, and the Canadian economy will pick up speed quickly starting in the second half of this year.

If you are selecting variable rate mortgage to make the interest rate affordable, try to avoid the riskiest ones with short initial interest rate periods. If you are selecting a variable rate mortgage because you expect to pay off the mortgage before the adjustments starts its fine, however make sure to leave some room for error, since you never know what will happen few years down the road. If for instance you expect to be out of the house in 2 years, than get a mortgage with a 3 year term.

If you are out of the house before the expiration of the initial rate period, the initial rate is the only feature that counts in your mortgage. The index, margin, rate cap and penalties are not relevant at all, if you pay off the mortgage before changes happen. Make sure to be smart during negotiations with lenders though.

Virtually all variable mortgage rates are for 25 years, starting with 6 months terms and going up to 5 years renewal. During the renewal period you are free to choose different lender, if the contract allows so.

The Canadian government bought C$1.38 billion ($1.23 billion) of 5-year fixed mortgages from banks, less than the C$4 billion it offered to purchase, as part of a program to help foster new lending. - Bloomberg

Freddie Mac’s weekly rate report says 30-year fixed-rate mortgages fell to an average 4.82 percent, down from 4.86 percent last week. A year ago, 30-year mortgages were averaging about 6 percent. - Freddie Mac

According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), housing market conditions in Vancouver will favour buyers into early next year. Softer housing demand, combined with an ample supply of homes for sale will keep prices trending lower. Sales will remain sluggish this year, before recovering in 2010. “Low mortgage rates and home prices will attract buyers, particularly first-time home buyers through 2009,” said Robyn Adamache, Senior Market Analyst with CMHC. - PR-USA.net

CMHC has released a report stating that Canadian housing market has declined significantly due to the worldwide financial crisis, and it will take years for things to move up again.

• housing starts are expected to decline to 141,900 this year – down from 211,056 last year
• Next year, building activity will rebound somewhat, with 150,300 new homes predicted to be going up.
• even when the economy turns positive again, housing starts will climb back only slowly, to reach 176,800 units by 2013.
• The national average price for a home is projected to fall 6.8 per cent this year to $283,100 before stabilizing next year
• number of houses resold through the Multiple Listing Service declining to 357,800 units this year, from 433,990 in 2008, but increasing slightly next year to 386,100 units
• CREA sees a 5.2-per-cent decline in the average home price in 2009
• Canada’s growing population demands about 170,000 new homes a year
• housing starts are expected to decline 32.8 per cent this year, with a 53-per-cent drop in Alberta, a 42.5-per-cent slide in British Columbia and a 50.2-per-cent decline in Saskatchewan - globe and mail

Though very encouraging, I must say that the crisis is far from over. Before the building collapses, there’s a moment of when everything freezes…. and then the building comes crashing down. We might be in that moment right now. We’ve taken the strikes, the building still stands, but the foundation is faulty. The foundation was designed for collapse from the beginning and it is a matter of time. Put on your seatbelts, there’s some tough stuff ahead.

We are releasing a new glossary very soon and are happy to give you a snippet:

Beneficiary

Person who will benefit from will, deed or trust. Beneficiary may be a spouse, child, relative or a friend. Beneficiary may receive property and assets as a result.

Bidding War

Competition between two or more buyers on a piece property, raising value of that property with each bid. For example, Ron is selling his house and has 3 bidders. Each bidder puts a higher bid on Ron’s property in the hopes of buying it. Ron stays happy since the price goes up.

Bill of Sale

Document that specifies and confirms transfer of rights to a piece of property.

Bill Presentment

Internet billing system that allows customers to see their financial details online. Most banks and financial institutions offer it. Bill presentment may also allow to pay bills online and make transfers via internet. It is a very convenient system, since people can manage finances from comforts of their rooms.

We are releasing a new glossary very soon and are happy to give you a snippet:

Fully Amortized Adjustable-rate Mortgage / Fully Amortized Adjustable Rate Mortgage

Amortization: time it takes to pay for a mortgage(15 years, 30 years, etc)

Adjustable Rate Mortgage: mortgage with an adjustable interest rate, which adjusts every month or more.

Fully Amortized Adjustable-rate Mortgage refers to an adjustable rate mortgage which is fully repaid.

Fully Amortizing Payment

Amortization: time it takes to pay for a mortgage(15 years, 30 years, etc)

Amortization Payment: payment that goes towards reducing principal and interest rate each month.

Fully amortizing payment refers to the payment which, if maintained unchanged will pay out a mortgage.

Fully Indexed Interest Rate

Interest rates are tied to an index. Whenever the index goes up, so do the rates. Whenever index goes down, so do the rates. On top of the index, banks charge their own rates. For example, if index is 3%, banks may add 3%, making end mortgage cost 6% in interest. Fully indexed rate refers to the rate that borrowers get when they apply for a mortgage. In the case of our example it is 6%.

Do NOT worry about your credit score when you’re doing interest rate shopping with several lenders. There’s NO negative effect as long as you do it within 30 - 45 days.

Credit score used to be lowered if you applied with many mortgage lenders, because banks assumed if you applied for a mortgage in many places you were being constantly turned down.

This turned out to be false, because person who applies with several lenders is simply looking for lowest possible interest rate.

Credit score agencies acknowledge this and give you 30 - 45 days to do interest rate shopping. If you apply for a mortgage with many lenders within 30 – 45 day period – there’s no negative effect on your credit score.

Above statement is confirmed by FICO, a company that invented current credit score standards used by Equifax and TransUnion (both are Canadian credit score agencies).

Looking for a mortgage or an auto loan may cause multiple lenders to request your credit report, even though you’re only looking for one loan. To compensate for this, the score ignores all mortgage and auto inquiries made in the 30 days prior to scoring. So if you find a loan within 30 days, the inquiries won’t affect your score while you’re rate shopping. In addition, the score looks on your credit report for auto or mortgage inquiries older than 30 days. If it finds some, it counts all those inquiries that fall in a typical shopping period as just one inquiry when determining your score. For FICO scores calculated from older versions of the scoring formula, this shopping period is any 14 day span. For FICO scores calculated from the newest versions of the scoring formula, this shopping period is any 45 day span. Each lender chooses which version of the FICO scoring formula it wants the credit reporting agency to use to calculate your FICO score.

Examples

Kate and Jenny are looking for a mortgage. They both have 720 credit score and want lowest interest rates.

Kate applies to 15 lenders within 30 days, and gets her mortgage from a lender with lowest interest rate and best agreement terms. There is no effect on Kate’s credit score because she applied to all 15 lenders within 30 day period.

Jenny applies with 15 lenders, but does it over a period of 2 months (60 days). She is surprised to find out that lenders she applied to latest quote her higher interest rate than previous lenders (ones she applied to earlier). Jenny then finds out that her score was lowered because she applied with many lenders over a long period of time. If she did it in 30 days, instead of 60 days, her score would stay unaffected.

Make sure you do the interest rate shopping within 30 – 45 days.

No cost mortgage is a

• mortgage with an interest rate high enough to cover the costs of refinance over a period of time
• mortgage with larger principal size.

Costs Covered by No Cost Mortgage

When you’re shopping for a no cost mortgage make sure to clarify what it means from the lenders perspective. True no cost mortgage is one with no closing fees (paid by lender) and other settlement costs covered. There are some small charges that you will have to take of yourself, but generally no cost mortgage covers all costs.

No cost mortgage is a good choice for a borrower who intends to sell the house in the next few years, and has no existing mortgage. It is also a good choice for borrowers with little or no down payment money.

Good Luck.

Worldwide economy is going through some tough times. What if you can’t pay for your mortgage? What should you do? We’ll try and help you in this article:

• Don’t be in denial: this is the first step - you have to realize you are in trouble. If this sounds obvious, then you got common sense, as many people will purposefully ignore the fact they are in trouble.
• Don’t expect help from the lender: If you cant pay, but you got home equity, then informing lender about your problems is risky. Depending on the lender, some will respond positively, while others won’t. Prepare to hear “come to us when you miss two payments” (which makes you default).

If you have equity in your home - it protects lender against losses in case you default, so telling lender is not a good move. Also, do not take second mortgage against your equity - why get more debt if you cant pay existing debt? Yet this is the solution some articles offer. Makes no sense at all.

• Sell the house - probably the best choice. Though it sounds painful, this is the best move you have. Sell the house before mortgage ruins your credit history or puts you further into debt.
• Forbearance Agreement: if your problems are temporary, or if you’re very confident in your ability to raise money few months down the road, you can enter into forbearance agreement. Under the agreement lender will let you skip several payment with a guarantee on your side.

Mortgage payments are very inflexible. You cannot skip a payment and then get back on track like nothing happened. The skipped payment will be become delinquent, meaning the entire account will become delinquent. So lets say if you missed a payment in July, but paid in August, the payment for August will be applied to July and August will become delinquent. When you pay in September the payment will go towards August, making September delinquent. This will go on until you pay off account in full.

Missed payments are also bad for credit history, especially on a mortgage (due to large size). The loan contract does not give you the right to skip a payment, and lender will have all the power if you do, so be very careful.

You can get back on track very quickly once you pay off the missed month. There are usually no penalties for missed payments, however, it depends on the lender. Check your contract for more information.

Three Month Penalty

This is a penalty charged by most lenders for paying off your mortgage balance earlier than specified in a contract. Your current mortgage is multiplied by your interest rate and then by 3 again. For example, if your current mortgage balance is $114.000 at 5.6% interest, and you decide to pay it off earlier, this is the formula that lender will use to charge you:

$114.000 x 0.057(5.7%) x 3 = $19.494

Silent Second Mortgage

Second mortgage placed on a property, to help finance first mortgage. Silent Second Mortgages are unrecorded and first mortgage lenders do not know about their presence. Silent Seconds are usually illegal.

For example you want to buy a house which is $300.000, but only have $10.000 for down payment. Lender requires $50.000, so to satisfy requirements you take a Silent Second Mortgage for $40.000, that lender doesn’t know about. In that case lender assumes that your down payment is $50.000 while it is only $10.000.
