Mortgage insurance is mandatory is you have a down payment of less than 20%.
For people who borrow 100% of the cost of their home, insurers are now now factoring in the borrowers credit score in a way that can lower this cost of coverage. This is called risk-based pricing, and its the way that almost all insurance works.
This use of risk-based pricing is the result of increasing competition in the mortgage insurance business. Where there used to be only to players in the field, the federal governments Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp, and Genworth Financial, there are new players as well.
How Does This Change Buying Mortgage Insurance?
When Genworth announced that is would allow buyers to borrow up to 95% to 100% of their mortgage at 3.75%, a new mortgage insurance company called AIG United Guaranty said it would offer the same coverage for 3.70%.
