Big 5 banksā Q4 earnings reports are out.
Here is an update of the mortgage book. š
It is a very Rough estimate, as each bank reports different metrics.
š¦ Big 5 have $1.3 trillion in Canadian mortgages.
š¦ 73%~ are Uninsured: $970~ billion CAD.
š¦ Uninsured has less than 5% with FICO<650.
š¦ Uninsured has less than 1% with a low FICO / high LTV ratio (FICO<650 and LTV>75%).
š¦ 1% of the total Uninsured is $10~ billion CAD.
š¦ 15%~ of the total mortgage balance is Condo.
š¦ 13%~ of the total mortgage balance is Investment.
š§ Special notes of variable rate mortgages:
š 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.
š 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.
