Intelligence from the front lines of Canadian finance
Reverse Mortgages Aren’t Under-Sold. They’re Under-Explained.
Households led by Canadians over 65 hold about $2.2 trillion in housing equity. Reverse mortgages account for half a cent on every dollar of it, and only about one per cent of Canadians over 55 have one. Reverse mortgage lenders are working on price, on product and on capital, and all three matter. The problem nobody in the market can fix on their own is simpler and harder: most of the people who would benefit cannot say what the product is, and reassurance about an irreversible decision cannot come from the party that profits from it. That makes explanation a public good.
