In today’s complex mortgage environment, you need a mortgage broker who has deep experience in the interest rate market and can navigate the ever-changing regulatory environment. The federal government is consistently implementing new loan requirements and restrictions, and your mortgage broker needs to be on top of the changes. Gerard Buckley understands how regulations affect interest rates and how they affect your mortgage.

The Regulatory Environment

In 2016, the Canadian Mortgage Housing Corporation (CMHC), which insures Canadian mortgages in case a borrower defaults, implemented a new regulation to increase default prevention. The regulation requires a stress-testing all new insured mortgages to determine if the borrower can weather a sudden increase in interest rates. This may make it easier for those with strong credit ratings to obtain a low-rate mortgage, however it will make obtaining a mortgage more difficult for those with weaker credit ratings. Recently, there has also been a push for lenders to share the cost in the event of a default, which poses a significant risk to interest rates and may cause them to rise even more.

The regulatory environment for mortgages in Canada is constantly changing, making it difficult for someone to keep track of the changes without an experience and professional mortgage broker by their side. Gerard Buckley is committed to finding an appropriate mortgage for you and understands all of the changes occurring within the mortgage regulatory environment.

Gerard Buckley has spent over 35 years working at an investment bank where he advised Fortune 500 companies on their interest rate risk and currency exposure. As a result, hiring Gerard means you get access to decades of interest rate experience and someone who can get you the best mortgage rate in current market conditions.

Interest Rate Complexity

Interest rates are seemingly simple; however, they can vary significantly from lender to lender and are based on a variety of factors, both within and out of your control. For example, something that is out of your control is how healthy the economy is, which affects interest rates. On the other hand, variable-rate and insured mortgages will often have lower rates than fixed-rate and uninsured mortgages, depending on your choices. Variable rate mortgages put more of the risk on the borrower, so naturally it would have lower rates. For an insured mortgage, the lender is less exposed and will receive some money back if you default, leading to lower rates for insured mortgages.

While you have some impact on what your mortgage rate is, interest rates are mostly affected by market conditions, economic conditions, and the actions of the Bank of Canada. All of these forces make it very difficult to keep track of rates and to understand when it is a good time to acquire a mortgage. Gerard Buckley will help you navigate this regulatory and economic maze with his decades of experience working with interest rates.
