Banks sell these products under different names, usually by combining them with a regular mortgage.<\/p>\n<p>The average outstanding balance for each of these mortgages is approximately $ 65,000. According to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) and the Bank of Canada, mortgage lines are the largest contributor to non-mortgage consumer debt, more than double that of credit cards or car loans.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block; text-align: center;\" data-ad-slot=\"2887297387\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5440141123165360\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>This reality does not spare young homeowners who use mortgage lines of credit.
