Also, there are alternative mortgage default insurance providers who will insure borrowers who do not meet CHMC standards. There are two other default mortgage insurance providers:.
But just like CMHC, they partner with lending institutions to provide mortgage default insurance for high ratio mortgage borrowers. However, they do offer lenders mortgage default insurance for subprime borrowers who do not meet CMHC qualification requirements. Calculating how much default insurance you require is a fairly simple equation. It is calculated as a percentage of your mortgage loan, known as the loan-to-value LTV , and the size of your down payment.
Your down payment is subtracted from the purchase price of the property to determine how much your lender needs to finance. This is how much they would lose if you were to default on your mortgage payments and they had to take possession of the house, a process known as foreclosure. All three mortgage default insurers listed above charge premiums as a percentage of the total mortgage amount.
The lower your down payment, the higher the mortgage balance, and the higher your insurance premiums will be. Assuming you have chosen to amortize your mortgage over the maximum 25 year period allowed, the premium calculation will look like this:. All federally regulated financial institutions fall under the purview of the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions OSFI which oversees and requires those institutions to operate within a strict regulatory framework.
Because of this, all three mortgage default insurance providers charge the exact same premiums using the exact same pricing matrix. According to the above price matrix, you will be charged premiums equal to 4. According to the mortgage default premium price matrix, you will be charged significantly less at just 3. Remember, those premiums are added to your mortgage balance and are subject to mortgage interest rate charges.
CMHC, and the other two mortgage default insurance providers, are filling the gap for honest, hardworking Canadians every day. But is mortgage default insurance really the antidote we think it is?
How long would it take you to save a six-figure down payment? But is it worth the cost? More importantly, has anyone even told you about it? By Romana King on May 25, We recently got an email from a reader who was quite perturbed.
He had saved his money was diligent about his budgeting, and was set to purchase a modestly priced home near Ottawa. Dear, Peeved with Premiums: You have a right to be concerned. This insurance is to protect the lender, not you, and the fees drop as your down payment gets larger. That decision is up to the lender. When a borrower qualifies to purchase a home using a non-conventional or high loan-to-value mortgage, the federal law requires mortgage loan insurance and this cost is passed on to the borrower.
Ask Home Owner columnist Romana King your real estate question ». It helps defray the downside risk of mortgaging a more expensive property. Me and my hubby are so pissed off… We talked to our stupid bank, and they approved us, they gave us the go ahead for a house. Stupid CMHC turned us down… We even found a house that we both loved, and the seller of the house accepted our offer.. As if anyone has 20, they are going to gift us?!!!?!! It sounds like the real story is that you were unable to provide confirmation of your down payment.
If a gift, you MUST provide a letter from the person who gifted you the down payment. Since the insurance covers the life of the mortgage, do they ever refund at a pro-rated level if the insurance is no longer needed?
If your property goes down in value and you cannot pay, you will end up in dept. There is no protection for home buyers. For the banks, it does not matter what happens to the house market or to the lender, they will get their interest plus money back on the investment from CMHC. So, the question is why CMHC taxpayers run organization which supposed to assist Canadians allows banks to pass this fee to the borrowers. The practice of the banks to have the borrower pay for the cost of CMHC insurance is criminal and should be stopped by the govenment.
I think this is a great thing. The CMHC was a good thing at one time, it is now a subversive, and dangerous, entity. Do you know if any other mortgage insurer will cover mortgages in mobile home parks without age restrictions?
My broker told me that CMHC is the only insurer that will cover mobiles. We have a first mortgage thats coming up for renewal in a few months. The balance would then be K and the property value according to a recent appraisal is K. We also have a second mortgage of 80K on this property. When the first mortgage comes up for renewal, does the lender have to insure it thru CMHC?
Why should I pay to insure a bank against a loss? The other reason for the large down payment was that we see any debt as bad, and the less we take on, the better. Of course, this is a lot easier with housing prices in small-town Nova Scotia.
You folks in Toronto and Vancouver trying to get into the housing market really do have my sympathy. Small town Nova Scotia is hard to get the insurers to insure the loans.
They can decline your mortgage default insurance applications. Going though it now. It sucks. Great house, great locations. Amazing price. I see your point, Fred. In everyone in the US knew the housing bubble was going to burst and all those mortgages would be bad.
If I screw up in my job, I am responsible for the consequences. CMHC are borderline criminal. If anything it increases risk of default. Yeah right, when did the people ever matter to the banks or the government? I do think the CMHC insurance is a complete scam. Even though I paid for insurance, I was still mandated to get a guarantor. Now that my mortgage is up for maturity, I am being denied new mortgage applications without a co-applicant to go on title.
I am being screwed over after making every payment on time, increasing my credit history and lowering my principal. My income is solid and I have been in the same full-time job for 10 years.
The whole system is a total scam that very few people have realized. Just thought it was funny. Interesting read especially for first time home owneres. I guess it will all depend on what works best for you and the research must be done before you get too caught up in house buying.
