CHOOSING THE RIGHT HOME. Home. During the pandemic home has become everything to us: our shelter, office, school, gym, cinema, spa, restaurant.. you name it! I rent my home. A few years back the circumstances lead me to jumped right in when the house hit the market as there was nothing else available that would suit my criteria. ... Would I choose something else if I had more time?? Absolutely! I would choose better and wished I didn’t feel rushed either. I would pay more attention choosing a new home for my girls and I. Because some things you just can’t live without. The must haves! What’s missing in your current home? What would you change? Let me tell you what is missing for me in my rental. A garage. Not an additional storage space but a place to put my car in especially during the winter. And quality kitchen appliances! Some of you know my dishwasher and stove stories (rolling my eyes here ). I love to cook! And kitchen is everything to me!! After my bedroom, of course! When you’re choosing the right home for yourself and your loved ones, don’t rush, don’t settle for less. Know what you are willing to compromise and what is absolutely non-negotiable. Take time to think it through. Ask for professional help and get a second opinion! Because your environment, where you live, can have a huge impact. It can influence your mood and lifestyle overall. And it can be costly! Emotionally, physically and financially. Keep in mind: there is a lid for every pot!

Canadian mortgage rates are beginning to inch higher for the first time since before the COVID-19 crisis.

DOWNSIZE TIME? I always liked the idea of having a pied-à-terre in the city and a country home. Having a condo has its own benefits like: ... Flexibility Less maintenance. Let others take care of your property and have more freedom to travel or explore your city instead of working on home improvements. Cheaper insurance. You only need to cover the inside, your own condo, the private portion. Amenities. Most condos have community dishes like pool, fitness centre, rooftop terraces etc. Security. Most condos have secure entrance and surveillance cameras. Some have a concierge. If you live alone, rest assured you’ll feel safe. Ready to sell your house?
