Show Notes
This recap episode of Mortgage 101 highlights concerns about increasing debt levels in Canada, with Equifax reporting that mortgage holders are missing payments. We look back at one of the show's guests, Sandi Burns, from Manulife Bank, who noted that BMO exited the auto loan industry due to high arrears, predicting a peak in 2025-2026. Many Canadians are refinancing at higher rates due to pandemic-era lows, and retirees on fixed incomes are struggling. Clinton highlights what affordability means in the 2024 housing climate and advises on avoiding unnecessary debt to qualify for a mortgage.
