16.5 acres on beautiful Greenway Lake. Cleared areas of pasture land, combined with some smaller forested areas bordering your own private lake + a very comfortable 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with lots of upgrades. Property was historically used for cattle farming, but would suit livestock of any kind, orchards, or a combination of growing or farming uses. This is the ultimate private and tranquil setting, but with very close access to the amenities of Cedar, Boat Harbour, the Nanaimo Airport and Ladysmith or Nanaimo.

6 – THE NANAIMO REAL ESTATE REVIEW, APRIL 2, 2015
COSTS OF BUYING A HOME The purchase price of your new home is the biggest cost you will come across in your home-buying venture, but it is not the only one. A REALTOR® can provide you with helpful advice about other costs involved, some of which may include the following: Application/Mortgage Broker Fee: Processing your mortgage application costs lenders money. Consumers may be charged a fee by a lender or a mortgage broker for setting up a mortgage when income or credit issues become more sensitive to the approval process. Appraisal Fee: The money you borrow for your mortgage is usually a percentage of the home’s purchase price, or of the market appraisal -- whichever is lower. The lender will use someone on staff or an independent professional to make this appraisal. You are normally responsible for this cost. Land Survey Fee: A plot plan or survey of the property you want to buy is important to establish exactly where the boundaries are and make sure there are no encroachments such as part of your neighbour’s house or garage sitting on your land. Your lending institution will want to see such a survey and can let you know what their requirements are. Insurance: If you are applying for a high-ratio mortgage – that is, if you are borrowing more than 80 per cent of your home’s purchase price – you will have to pay for mortgage insurance to protect the lender in the event that you fail to make the necessary payments. As your new home will be used as security for your mortgage, the lender will want you to have extended coverage and fire insurance. You may also wish to check out the cost of buying mortgage life insurance. This insurance ensures that the mortgage balance is paid off if you or a co-borrower dies. Legal Fees: These are the fees charged by a lawyer to help you complete the home-buying process. Disbursements are the costs involved in processes such as conducting a title search, drawing up the title deed and preparing and registering the mortgage. Property Transfer Tax: This is calculated on the property’s purchase price at the rate of one per cent up to $200,000 and two per cent of the price over $200,000. First-time buyers may be exempt from this tax subject to certain restrictions. Ask your REALTOR® for details. HST: When you buy a new home, the entire purchase price is taxable. You may, however, qualify for a partial provincial New Housing Rebate if you plan to live in the home yourself. Ask your REALTOR® for details. A “used” residential home is normally exempt from the HST. Remember that HST is also applied to the REALTOR®’S commission and most other transaction fees such as legal and appraisal costs. Other Costs: When you buy a home you will also want to budget for utility bills, annual property taxes and maintenance costs.

14 – THE NANAIMO REAL ESTATE REVIEW, APRIL 2, 2015
FINANCING A HOME When you’re looking to buy a home, it’s important to understand the steps for getting a mortgage. Mortgage terminology: Before approaching lenders, you should get to know some basic mortgage concepts. You can start by visiting the Glossary section and read up on mortgage-related terms. Get pre-approved: Pre-approval of a mortgage is when your lender has reviewed all your financial information and has determined the maximum amount of money you can borrow. The advantages include that you: know how much you can borrow, so you don’t waste time looking at properties you can’t afford don’t have to worry about rising interest rates while shopping for a home, as usually the mortgage broker will guarantee the current interest rate for 60 to 90 days have an edge when you make an offer, because the seller knows you’re more likely to get a loan save time when you apply for your loan because you’ve already assembled your paperwork Where to get pre-approved: Many banks and financial institutions are competing for your business so it makes sense to shop around for a mortgage. Most lenders will reduce their posted interest rate so don’t be shy about bargaining. Your ability to bargain for a low rate and a flexible mortgage will often depend on how much business you have with the institution. You can contact banks and credit unions directly, or work with a mortgage broker. A broker will help you find a lender and the best mortgage package. Once you have selected your lender, you will need to provide your financial information. Your lender will want the following: Personal information such as number of dependents and marital status. Details of employment, including a letter from your employer verifying your salary. Banking and investment information. Details of your assets (i.e.- a car, other property). Information on loans and other liabilities. Permission to do a credit check. After your application is complete, you will know how much you can borrow and you will be ready to start searching for a home. Mortgage payment tips: Whether you’re a first-time buyer or you’ve decided to refinance your home, consider the following money-saving steps when calculating your mortgage payments: By shortening your loan repayment or amortization period to 20 years from 25 years, you’ll pay your mortgage off five years sooner. You’ll pay higher monthly payments, but you’ll build equity faster and you’ll pay less in interest over the long term. Apply for a prepayment option. If you receive one, you can directly pay down some of your principal before it’s due. Make sure to check for prepayment penalties. By paying biweekly instead of monthly, you’ll make 26 payments in a year or 13 months instead of just 12 months and reduce your amortization to about 20 years from 25 years.
