If you want to purchase a house but are unsure about how much you can spend, knowing which homes are within your range is difficult. For example, you might find a property that looks exactly like your dreams but have no idea about whether it’s a realistic option for your budget. In such cases, it helps if you get a pre-approval. A pre-approval means that a lender has agreed, in principle, to lend you a specific amount towards the purchase of a house. However, they have not yet proceeded to the final approval. A pre-approval allows you to know the maximum funds available to you so you can narrow your search and negotiate with more certainty.

Getting the best mortgage on your home makes a huge difference in affordability, financial wealth and abundance. It can save you hundreds or cost you thousands.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and in an attempt to protect the economic future of Canadians, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) announced in early June that it would be tightening its qualification rules for mortgage insurance from July 1, 2020.  Fortunately, they are two other mortgage insurers: Genworth and Canada Guarantee and neither of them are changing their qualification rules.
