Residential mortgage consumers remain remarkably positive as they weather the financial storm, according to a report released today by the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP). Attitudes towards local conditions have shifted only slightly with 38 per cent of Canadians believing now is a good time to purchase and 32 per cent believing it is a bad time. Mortgage arrears remain low and steady at 0.28 per cent and an overwhelming 84 per cent of home owners are satisfied with their mortgages. The information was gathered by Maritz from an online survey of over 2,000 Canadians in mid-October and analyzed in conjunction with CAAMP Chief Economist Will Dunning.
Our website tells you the details of what and how Alta Pacific MIC works... this news page (and our Canadian mortgage blog) is updated regularly and hopefully sheds some light on who we are while also sharing some of the latest news in Canadian investing - most notably, investing in Canadian mortgages and real estate.
While the Alta Pacific team has considerable experience in real estate, we're new to this online world - including blogging - so go easy on us.
