The federal government's changes, set to come into force mid-December, include a higher price cap for insured mortgages to allow more people to qualify for a mortgage with less than a 20 per cent down payment. The price cap for insured mortgages is set to move to $1.5 million from $1 million, marking the first boost since 2012.
