If you watched our video on the Mortgage Stress Test, you’d know that in order to make sure that people could afford their mortgages over any market increases, the government implemented what they call a stress test in 2018.
The stress test requires buyers to qualify at the central bank’s benchmark 5 year mortgage rate, or 2 percentage points higher than their contract rate.
The central bank’s benchmark rate was 5.34 prior to july 17th 2019, but it’s since dropped to 5.14. It’s the first decrease in the five year fixed mortgage rate since 2016.
It’s not much, but maybe it’ll make a difference to you guys, and economists say it will help counter the slowest lending growth in 5 years.
