Source: CML Research, CBA, MBA. *Mortgage arrears of 3+ months in Canada
and UK or in foreclosure process in the US
Canadian mortgages consistently outperform
U.S. and U.K. mortgages
■ Low defaults and arrears reflect the strong Canadian credit
culture
Mortgage interest is generally not tax deductible, resulting
in an incentive for mortgagors to limit their amount of
mortgage debt
■ In most provinces, lenders have robust legal recourse to
recoup losses
☐
Mortgage arrears have steadily declined from high of 0.45%
in 2009 to 0.24% in 2018
Population in Top Four Cities
Canada has one of the highest urbanisation rates
in the G7
■ Almost 40% of the Canadian population lives in one of
the four largest cities
■ A greater rate of urbanisation is a strong contributor to
increases in property values
