CMHC investigates consumer credit data for key insights into the mortgage market
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 06/13/17 -- In spite of continued concerns regarding household debt in Canada, signs of stress on the mortgage market remain muted with consistently low mortgage delinquency rates. While it's true that oil dependant markets like Calgary and Edmonton have seen a recent rise in delinquency rates, Vancouver and Toronto are recording some of the lowest rates in Canada - despite high home prices.
This analysis is part of CMHC's newest product: Homeowners' Debt at a Glance, a series of "quick-read" analyses of consumer credit data from the credit reporting agency focused on homeowners, mortgage holders and potential homebuyers' debt and credit use. While the first quick-read gives insight into a few key indicators including mortgage delinquency rates, future releases will look at consumer debt levels, credit scores, household cash flow associated with debt, and consumer credit behaviour by age and homeownership status, among others.
CMHC recognizes that there are "data gaps" preventing us from having a complete picture of Canada's housing and mortgage markets. CMHC now has access to consumer credit data collected by reporting agency Equifax and will be able to analyze the credit market in a way that's never been done before. This quick-read and the publications that follow are part of an on-going effort to better understand factors influencing housing systems in Canada.
