>> Welcome back to Hot Property. Let's get to another one of your great viewer questions. This one comes in from Rehan who asks... Interesting question. What do you think, Sean? >> The simple answer is just guidelines. >> Teddy: Right. >> The government sets certain guidelines of which, I mean, with a bank, your max is 30 years. Depending on the transaction, it could be 25 years. We do have some other lenders that will go to 35 years but that comes at a bit of a premium. So it's just the guidelines that the Canadian government has set in place and we can't really do much about it. It's more the income that has increased over the last couple of years, as well as the money that's come into Toronto that has allowed these people to purchase larger homes or larger prices. >> Got it. Yeah, we have to wrap it up there but it's an interesting question. As you say, we're starting to see those 30-year ones now, so. That's it for tonight here on Hot Property.
