Abstract

Recent policy changes are having a clear impact on the mortgage market. The number of new highly indebted borrowers has fallen, and overall mortgage activity has slowed significantly. Tighter policies around mortgage qualification and higher interest rates are having a direct effect on the quality and quantity of credit. At the same time, provincial and municipal housing measures have weighed on housing activity and price growth in certain markets.
