A lower amortization rate may seem way out of your budget, but adjusting your spending can help you save a lot in the end.

is money in

your pocket

ince then, it’s moved to 40 years, to 35 years and now the maximum of 30 years.

Changes to amortization carry concerns for some, so I thought I would give you some more details to assist you in understanding how lower amortizations can equate to a lot of money in your pocket and help build equity in your home at a faster rate.

Some concerns clients have are: No longer being able to qualify for a mortgage based on the lower amortization, or a lower amortization means a big increase to payments and negatively impacts your buying power. This is not true; rates were much higher when all we had was 25-year amortizations.

In fact, rates were as high as 21% and people still purchased homes.

To illustrate this, let’s look at a mortgage based on $100,000 at 5%. The payment increases by $47,91 when we move from a 30-year amortization to 25 years.

To be more relevant, on a $400,000 mortgage at 5%, the payment increases by $191,66 but you can save more than $70,000 in interest costs.

That means some people are giving away significant portions of their hard-earned salary for the longer amortization.

Choosing a 25-year amortization as opposed to a 30-year amortization will speed up the rate in which you build equity in your home.

BMO Bank of Montreal

Some budgets are tighter than others, but when was the last time you reviewed your spending habits?

Can you find $48 a week, which is the additional payment amount needed to save up to $70,000 in interest? Take the time to review your budget.

Tools such as BMO’s Money Logic provide ways of tracking and managing your spending, even on a daily basis. It can provide you the intricate details of how you spend your money.

Once you have reviewed your spending, use MoneyLogic to help you stay on track by providing you with alerts once you have gone over your spending budget. Take time to sit down with a mortgage specialist annually to review your situation.

I encourage you to visit your banker and understand how so little can save you so much.

Liz’ Tips (part 2)

What is staging? Who needs it?

Staging is preparing the stage (your house) for a grand finale performance (for sale). Home staging is about illusions. It's beyond decorating and cleaning. It's about perfecting the art of creating moods. Staging makes Liz’ Tips your house look bigger, brighter, cleaner, warmer, more loving and, best of all, it makes home buyers want By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment to buy it.

Brockville, Ontario

Use Your Senses Stagers offer this tip for those staging for an open house: Bake some bread or cookies. They say a comforting smell makes buyers feel at home when considering a purchase.

And don't forget the sense of taste -- pros say offering those freshly baked cookies and some coffee encourages people to stick around and consider your home for a little longer.

How much value does home staging add?

the price by an average of 5 percent, so a $250,000 home would be reduced about $12,000.

Most reputable stagers and real-estate agents agree that staging can only help so much, though. If no one is coming to look at the house, it's the fault of the price.

But if a lot of people are looking but not making offers, staging can help. The buyers just need an incentive -- and if they see a more attractive house, they can imagine it being worth the price.

According to some pros, a staged home can bring in 6 to 20 percent more than the same home without staging [source: Staged Homes]. In a slumping market, however, the goal may be to retain as much of the original price as possible. If you want (or need) to quickly unload your property, you might have to lower the asking price -- but home staging could help you avoid that. Real-estate agents usually recommend lowering the home price about 3 percent after a few months [source: National Association of Realtors]. On a $250,000 home, that's a reduction of $7,500. Most professional home stagers charge less than $5,000. According to StagedHomes.com, 91 percent of homes staged by accredited professionals sell in one month or less. So, if your staged home sells quickly, you could be saving yourself from a price reduction.

How Much Does it Cost?

According to the National Association of Realtors, national home sales for October 2007 were down 5.1 percent compared to the previous year. If a home is on the market for a year, the homeowner would have to cut

A stager is also available for a minimum 3-hour* consultation. This allows the stager to walk through each room with the homeowner and discuss the work / de-cluttering that needs to be done prior to staging. After the

Prices vary depending on where you live and the local demand for professional home staging. Coastal areas and large metropolitan cities where home staging has been prevalent for years command higher prices. Some rea estate agents help sellers stage the home themselves. Most listing agents agree, however, that vacant homes show better with staging and will encourage sellers to hire a professional stager. Fees* range from $280 depending on square footage, the amount of work needed, and the number of rooms staged. Normally, in an average 1,400 sq ft home, staging takes one hour per room: if a stager spends less in one room (ie. bathroom), the next room (ie. family room) might need more time. *additional travel fees might apply if outside service area

What can a Vendor do to help defray staging fees?

What is the end result?

Staging will provide your house “the stage” for that grand finale performance… The end result is hanging up the “Sold” sign & sending out “here’s our new address” cards to your friends!

Unlike the experience of buying a first home, when you’re looking to move-up, and already own a home, there are certain factors that can complicate the situation. lt’s very important for you to consider these issues before you list your home for sale.

Not only is there the issue of financing to consider, but you also have to sell your present home at exactly the right time in order to avoid either the financial burden of owning two homes or, just as bad, the dilemma of having no place to live during the gap between closings.
