Did you know? Both CMHC and Genworth will consider refinances for marital split payouts up to 95% of the home value, on an exception basis. Typically clients can only refinance up to 80% LTV of the equity in their property. This allows for greater payouts and/or debt consolidation to help facilitate the separation.
5 year funds are available in the 2.84-2.99% range, 10 year funds as low as 3.69%. Variable rate mortgages are available as low as 2.60%. 'Free Down Payment' mortgages are still available at the low rate of 4.85%.
