Canada has announced a series of mortgage reforms aimed at assisting first-time homebuyers, effective as of August. Key among these changes is the extension of the maximum mortgage amortization period to 30 years for those purchasing newly built homes. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland highlighted the move as part of efforts to make homeownership more accessible to younger Canadians. Additionally, the government plans to nearly double the amount first-time buyers can withdraw from their Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) for home purchases, raising the limit to $60,000. These reforms are seen as a slight easing in credit conditions, though experts like Ben Rabidoux have noted they may not significantly impact overall housing affordability. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) has indicated that Canada needs to construct 3.5 million additional homes by 2030 to restore affordability to levels seen in 2003-04. Notably, with the new 30-year mortgages, Canadians can now buy homes worth 8.9% more but will end up paying 20% more in interest at 5% rates.

Congrats Canada You can now buy a new home worth 8.9% more (on a 30 year mtg. vs 25 year.) but now you'll pay 93% interest-as-a-percentage-of-loan (at 5% rates) but dont worry, as a reward...the builder will STILL scam you by making you pay $60/month for a $700 water heater

Expanding amortization on insured mortgages out to 30 yrs on new-build is a sensible policy change that represents a modest loosening in credit. Not a game-changer I would LOVE to see them simultaneously announce direct income verification via CRA to stamp out mortgage fraud.
