Alberta mortgage debt reaches $60B

Canada's mortgage market set another record year for growth in 2007, with total outstanding residential mortgage debt soaring by $94 billion from the previous year, according to a housing report by AltusClayton.

The report said that in percentage terms the growth rate is not as high as the peaks in the latter 1980s, "but market-wide growth of 13 per cent a year "in an 'established industry' (and low inflation environment) is still very impressive."

Total outstanding mortgage debt at the end of year in 2007 was $821.4 billion.

And mortgage debt in Alberta last year increased by more than the national average.

At the end of the year, the province's outstanding mortgage debt was $60.919 billion, up 15.8 per cent from the previous year's $52.626 billion, said Richard Corriveau, economist for the Prairies and Territories region for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

He said the main factor in that mortgage debt was the escalation in house prices in Alberta.

For example, the average MLS sale price for a resale home in the province in 2007 was $356,235, up 24.8 per cent from $285,497 in 2006.

Bank of Canada cuts key rate to three per cent, as widely expected

OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada cut its benchmark lending rate to three per cent on Tuesday as the central bank moved to defend against a sharply slowing U.S. economy and its spillover into Canada.

The half-point cut in the bank's rate on overnight loans between commercial banks had been widely expected by economists as growth in Canada slows and the inflation rate remains benign.

The Bank of Canada said it now projects the Canadian economy will grow by 1.4 per cent this year. That's the slowest pace since 1992 and lower than the 1.8 per cent growth forecast by the central bank in January. The bank revised down its outlook for 2009, cutting its forecast rate of growth to 2.4 per cent from 2.8 per cent, and predicted and 3.3 per cent in 2010.

The bank last eased lending rates - also by a half point - on March 4, at the time saying more action would likely be needed.

Loan to Value Ratio: Know your numbers

Say you have an arm of 4.25 with a loan balance of $178,000.00 that you can take as subject-to on that and you are getting the asking price of $325,000.00 for this house.
