With new mortgage rules set to kick in Jan. 1, many are rushing now to get approved before they need to meet stricter stress-test criteria. There’s some fear that the new rules will end up costing Canada $1 billion in lost economic activity from the purchase and sale of homes as more people opt not to buy.
