This seems dumb. If they capped them at 30 years then the prices wouldn’t rise so high.

The housing market in that part of the world is absolutely ridiculous.

Naw dude this economic issue that's been around since industrialization is part of a scheme by a group formed in the 70s

There’s a district in coastal Norway where everyone auctions off their homes. Instead of a normal market where you list, and the buyers look over, make offers, etc., they list the house one week before a public auction, and you have to close the day of the auction. Most people bring their bankers with them to the auction

Yeah good housing in Europe is insane due to the supply issues created by infrastructures created literally hundreds of years ago. It seems Canada has taken more of a European than an American approach.

Clearly you don't k ow how mortgages work. The first year is almost all interest and gets less and less and you pay it down. That is why it is stupid to keep refinancing within 2-3 years like people like to do. You are giving yourself a perpetual mortgage that way and not paying off shite.

As absurd as this looks, the people could be making bank. Im guessing if you can get such crazy loan terms, very little if at all downpayment was required. For a $1.25m property, they probably could make $5k+ per week renting it. A higher end Airbnb in a high demand area easily can pull something like that. It could be a business and that is a killer location. Gotta see more details

So, basically rent unless home values increase.

This is exactly why so many urbanites in Canada, The US, and Europe, rent.

Thanks for explaining an amortization schedule to me. I've only been in RE for my entire professional life and own a few notes on property I owner financed to people but I never fully understood how mortgages worked until you came along.


The note in my OP is an ARM so it doesn't work exactly the way you laid it out

Receipt makes sense. You pay more interest up front and more principal toward the back end. That long of a term would yield basically no principal paid early on

What idiot gets a 63 year mortgage? To me a 30 year is bad enough. 63 is in being in debt your entire adult life

I have no idea how taxes work in yurop.

It could make sense if there’s deductions like there is here for mortgage interest for primary residence

Keeps the payment low so they're effectively renting.

When they sell, I assume they'll be totally satisfied walking away with enough cash to wipe out the loan principal. Anything over would be a bonus.

Eta- also, if Canada tax laws are anything like ours, the interest is a huge write off.
