šŸ  Canadian Mortgage Risk Snapshot - Q4 '22

Big 5 banksā€™ Q4 earnings reports are out.


Here is an update of the mortgage book. šŸ‘‡


It is a very Rough estimate, as each bank reports different metrics.


šŸŸ¦ Big 5 have $1.3 trillion in Canadian mortgages.


šŸŸ¦ 73%~ are Uninsured: $970~ billion CAD.


šŸŸ¦ Uninsured has less than 5% with FICO<650.


šŸŸ¦ Uninsured has less than 1% with a low FICO / high LTV ratio (FICO<650 and LTV>75%).


šŸŸ¦ 1% of the total Uninsured is $10~ billion CAD.


šŸŸ¦ 15%~ of the total mortgage balance is Condo.


šŸŸ¦ 13%~ of the total mortgage balance is Investment.



šŸŸ§ Special notes of variable rate mortgages:


šŸ“Œ Scotia provides variable rates with variable payments.


Its consumers with variable rate/variable payments have 36% more deposits vs. those with fixed rates.


It seems the extra financial cushion gave those consumers the confidence to choose variable rate/variable payment.


šŸ“Œ For the variable rates with fixed payments,


The payment will reset at renewal or re-underwritten with 25 years of amortization.


Hopefully the additional time would allow consumers who have reached trigger rates to grow their income.
