I had a CMHC insured mortgage on my first home approx 12.5% interest rate... at renewal 3 years hence I was no longer CMHC insured... made a point of reducing principle fast...

seems lots of Canucks are as anal as I was (mortgage free on second home for quite a few years now) on paying home down fast... looks to me that we are better off for 'lack' of mortgage interest deductibility.. incentive for us to pay it off FAST... I am 'less' concerned about our housing market than some...

• For mortgages repaid in the last 20 years, one third were paid off early;
• For the first time, CAAMP has identified that Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC) represent 22 per cent of all mortgages, making these lines of credit a $215 billion industry;
