Everyone has a mortgage opinion. We have a plan.

* You must qualify for a mortgage using a minimum qualifying rate set by the federal government to show you’ll be able to afford payments at an interest rate typically higher than the actual rate of your mortgage contract. As of Dec. 12, 2023, this minimum qualifying rate is either 5.25% or your interest rate plus 2%, whichever is higher.

To get a better estimate of what you could qualify for when using the Affordability calculator, complete your calculation and select the “Stress Test Rate” option if available or by using “enter your own rate” and adding 2%.
