CMHC no longer insuring condo developments

The Canadian Mortgage and Home Corporation announced that it will no longer be insuring construction of condo developments in a move designed to cool the housing market.

CMHC currently has $378 CAN of insurance for condo construction. Although this impacts on developers, there is no change for individual homebuyers.

CMHC hasn’t actually provided any of this insurance for three years, so this move is really just an official removal of the product.
