mortgage market, expanding the availability of 30-year amortizations and raising the cap on insured mortgage products.First-time homebuyers, as well as those purchasing new builds, will soon be able to take out insured mortgages with a 30-year amortization, up from the typical 25-year payback period.Additionally, the Liberals are raising the price cap for taking out insured mortgages to $1.5 million compared with the previous bar of $1 million.Both proposed changes would go into effect on Dec. 15.Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland made the announcements on Monday in Ottawa where members of Parliament are reconvening for the start of the fall sitting in the House of Commons.She positioned the move as helping Canadians to afford a first home.“It is going to put the dream of home ownership in reach for more young Canadians,” she told reporters.Extending amortizations helps to reduce the monthly burden of carrying a mortgage, though a homeowner is likely to pay more in interest over the life of the loan.Because households have to put down more than 20 per cent upfront when purchasing a home with an uninsured mortgage, the current price cap for insured mortgages creates a significant barrier for Canadians looking to purchase a property worth more than $1 million.In some of Canada’s most expensive housing markets, the average home price is already above that bar, making it difficult for some prospective buyers to save enough to ever own a home.Under the proposed changes, an individual could put down between five and 20 per cent of the value of a home worth up to $1.5 million, lowering the size of the down payment needed.The proposals come after the Liberals instituted new changes as of Aug.

Ravi Dharamshi, CIO, ValueQuest Investment Advisors, says the generalization that the entire market is expensive tends to miss out on a lot of nuances. There are pockets where there is overvaluation and there are pockets where there is some opportunity present from the next three to five years. India is making itself stand apart from the rest of the world because it is driven by domestic flows. It is driven by much stronger fundamentals. While a correction cannot be ruled out, we are not on the verge of a crash or any crisis that will lead to capital disruption. Right now, the big trigger is going to be coming in from the Fed midweek, but other than that, it is a global rally in place, be it for the US, be it for us. For us, the FIIs also now have made a comeback. How are you feeling about the market? Ravi Dharamshi: There is a lot of scepticism, justifiably through the valuations. But valuations are a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition for the markets to correct. I would say the generalization that the entire market is expensive tends to miss out on a lot of nuances. There are pockets where there is overvaluation and there are pockets where there is some opportunity present from the next three to five years.
