Just some insight on our Market right now...we have seen a shift in the market....no bubble bursting...no bad issues...rates still good..the shift is simply that more homes are coming up for sale...more to choose from. Buyers aren't all scrambling for the same few homes thus listing prices are a bit more reasonable...closer to what the Sellers really want and not priced under value to create the crazy bidding wars..we have somewhat plateaued as far as prices go...they won't ...necessarily go down in price but won't be getting massive amounts as in the market a couple weeks ago.. This is a good thing and will balance the playing field somewhat...after 30 years of matching people with property and all the hubbub about GM being the centre of our economy...well let's just say that is not the case anymore...Oshawa has been revitalized and experiencing a regrowth!! It is my home and I'm proud of our growth here...any questions? Ask an expert... I truly can call myself that now...got the bumps and bruises to show for it..lol. Have a glorious day all my fb friends!! See more

Just a little tip or warning, whichever way you want to look at it. Please if you are a homeowner...please DO NOT go on a rental for your furnace or air conditioning unit, if you are thinking of selling before it's paid off. The cost is ridiculously high, by about $5000. Also, when you sell, you'll have to pay it out as many people do not want to inherit this debt when a furnace and A/C unit is considered a "fixture" and therefore included in the sale. These homes are taking longer to sell and in some cases selling under market value because of it. Send the doorknockers away....:)

Current variable 5 year rate is 3.09%. :) A great time to invest in something tangible! Ask me how to get going!

too cute not to share!

If you want to buy a home today without overpaying for a mortgage loan, you’ll have to come to the table with mortgage market savvy, a serious job, excellent credit, sufficient liquid assets and limited debt. Because a mortgage opens the door to homeownership, it’s where you can least afford to make mistakes. While any mistake can kill the deal, here are the top 10 mortgage mistakes: 1. Flying blind...Continue reading

Here are 10 things you don’t want to do while you’re in the process of buying a home. 1. Don’t change your job before applying for a home loan. Along with that, now is not the right time to become self-employed or quit your job. You want to show lenders stability, which means you’ll be less likely to default on the loan. 2. Don’t change banks. Like your employment, you want your banking history to show stability. 3. Don’t buy a car or truck or any other form of transportation... that you have to finance. Buying one increases your debt-to-income ratio and that’s something loan officers don’t want to see. 4. Don’t buy furniture on credit before buying your house. Like financing a car, charging big-ticket items increases your debt-to-income ratio and now is not the time. 5. Don’t be late on your credit card payments or charge excessively. You need a track record of responsibility and show that you can manage your money. 6. Don’t make large deposits into your bank accounts. Lenders like the money that will be your down payment to be sitting in your account for at least two months what they call seasoning so that the funds don’t just appear out of the ether. 7. Don’t lie on your loan application. Sounds simple, right? But don’t leave out any debts or liabilities you have or fudge your income. It’s fraud. 8. Don’t co-sign a loan for anyone. Even if you’re not the one making the payments on that loan, it increases your debt-to-income ratio. 9. Don’t have inquiries made into your credit. Looking for new credit translates into higher risk for lenders. If your inquiries are related to your mortgage search, it usually doesn’t affect your credit score because the assumption is you’re rate shopping. But opening credit accounts within a short period of time represents some risk and your credit could take a hit. It’s probably not a huge factor in your calculating your ability to repay a loan but why take a chance at this juncture? 10. Don’t spend your money for closing costs. Part of the price of financing a loan is the closing costs and you’ll likely have some responsibility for paying them. Make sure you have enough for your share of the obligation.
