Ya, 35+ years is a long time. I worked on mortgage application software for a bit for a major bank a few years ago and I don't remember amortization periods being able to go past 30 years.
Edit: Holy shit, 25% ish of the major banks mortgage portfolios is of mortgages with 35+ year amortization periods.
Up to 35% already for CIBC's customer base. Funny how our life expectancy went down down 2 years in a row, but our amortization periods keep going up. Almost like another disaster waiting to happen for our economy. ___
I mean, considering COVID, are you surprised?
