Lower interest rates have helped make buying a home less expensive in the past. Here’s a few tips on how you can make sure that you can actually afford to jump on in to the housing pool: • Think beyond the mortgage payment. You’ll need to afford real estate property taxes, home insurance, home repairs and maintenance.

• “Loan Approved” doesn’t necessarily mean “Loan Affordable”.

Start documenting your monthly expenses, such as utility bills, car repairs and payments, current property taxes or rent pay ments, clothing, haircuts and entertainment expenses.

• Fully contained suite on lower level with separate entrance • Private backyard that backs onto green space • Lots of parking for your toys

• 2006 Custom Built “Craftsman Executive” • 2700 sq. ft. home on Oak tree lined Qualicum Beach Village Blvd.

• 750 sq. ft., 1 bdrm. Carriage house

• Unfurnished is okay. Don’t feel like you have to charge items just to furnish your new home. High credit payments may actually compromise your ability to make your mortgage payments.

• Almost 5 acres close to Spider and Horne Lakes • 3 bedroom family home, easy access to Inland Hwy • Exceptionally large rooms, open kitchen, central

• Shop around for mortgages. If you don’t understand all the

DEVELOPMENTS & INVESTMENT

costs, ask questions. If a lender is vague, ask them to be more specific. How is your credit? Is this the right time for you to buy, or should you wait until your credit history looks better?

• Will you still be employed? Ask lenders about unemployment insurance, which can typically offer up to 12 months (or more) of mortgage payments if you’re laid off.

• Know your mortgage. Your loan type may determine if the loan has payment flexibility or other alternatives.

TIPS

FREE W E E K L Y

Buying a home? These seven tips can make your house-hunting experience positive & rewarding.

1.

2.

Location counts - you’ve probably heard the old real estate joke about “location, location, location”, but the point still bears repeating.

Location is critical. How far are you really willing to drive to your place of employment?

How good are the local schools and public transportation? Even a picture-perfect dream home can be a mistake if it’s in an undesirable location, and a poor-location home can be a particularly bad choice if you anticipate reselling the home in a few years.

Make a list - Do you (and your spouse, if you’re married) really know what you need and want in your home? You’ll save many hours of shopping (and potential arguing) if you make a list ahead of time. Zero in on the features you must have, would like to have, definitely don’t want and would prefer not to have. Your goal is to find the right home for your family without falling in love with one that doesn’t suit your needs. Start compiling your wish list by thinking about what you like & dislike about your current home.

3.

4.

Do your homework - not too long ago, consumers had very little access to information about recent home sale prices, market trends, homes on the market, neighbourhood statistics and the home-buying process. Today, all this information and more is available. Go surfing on the web or ask a realtor to provide you with this information. Get educated. Become empowered.

Get pre-approved for a mortgage - Your top-dollar home price is a function of your household income, your credit worthiness, interest rates, the type of loan you select and how much cash you have or are willing to offer for the down payment. Rather than guessing or estimating how much you are going to be able to afford to spend, ask a lender or a mortgage broker to give you a full assessment and ask for a letter stating how much you’re qualified to borrow. The true amount may be much more or less than you think.

5.

Use a checklist - touring multiple homes can be a confusing experience for most people.

Rather than relying on memory, make notes about the homes you visit. Create a personalized home-shopping checklist and use it to track the features of each home that you’re interested in.

6.

Be prepared to make an offer - house hunting can be frustrating, especially if you know you’re not ready to buy a home. If you’re not ready, don’t put yourself through the exercise. If you are ready, ask your realtor to go over a blank purchase agreement ahead of time so you’ll know what decisions you’ll face when you make the offer.

7.

Relax - granted, buying a home is a major life-altering event. But it’s not worth making yourself crazy or super over-stressed about.

Save time at the end of your house-hunting expedition to unwind, calm your thoughts and emotions and keep the whole experience in perspective.
