A change to the benchmark by the Federal Government means a mortgage rule change effective March 21st 2020. The reduction in the benchmark from 5.19% to 5.04% will allow everyone to qualify for more on a purchase , refinance or switch of their mortgage.
The rule change for high ratio borrowers that was to take effect on April 6th has been cancelled.
