Mortgage loan insurance helps protect lenders against mortgage
default and enables consumers to purchase homes with a minimum down
payment of 5% with interest rates comparable to those with a 20% down
payment. Mortgage loan insurance is typically required by lenders when
homebuyers make a down payment of less than 20% of the purchase price.
Effective May 1, 2014, CMHC is increasing its homeowner mortgage loan insurance premiums to reflect its increased capital targets. The increase applies to mortgage loan insurance premiums for owner occupied, self-employed and 1-to-4 unit rental properties, including low-ratio refinance premiums.
For the average Canadian homebuyer requiring CMHC insured financing, the higher premium will result in an increase of approximately $5 to their monthly mortgage payment. This is not expected to have a material impact the housing market.
