Quality Canadian made furniture designed for living What makes Joshua Creek Furniture unique?

Our team of professionals are constantly seeking exciting and fresh products to stay current; we focus on the items, not a lavish showroom. This enables us to offer high quality furniture at very reasonable prices.

What do you attribute to Joshua Creek Furniture’s longevity?

We are in a great region to do business in, offer superior product and integrity in our service, and are passionate about what we do.

We still have customers that bought from us 23 years ago and now their kids are shopping here too!

What advice do you have on buying furniture online?

While online shopping makes sense for accessories and small items, buying a sofa or bedroom or dining suite online is risky and I advise against it. Photos can be deceiving. It’s best to see these items in person – especially if you plan to sit or sleep on them.

WOW WHAT A CHANGE Written By TERRY SMITH

W

ow, have things ever changed in the real estate market! I wrote in April about how the market had abruptly come to a halt with the arrival of Covid and the associated lock-downs. Showings at that time had dropped

80-90% from normal levels.

The number of homes sold across Halton was down about 65% in April, 2020 from April, 2019, and about 50% in May, 2020 compared to May, 2019. The magnitude of these drops was really unprecedented.

I also wrote at that time that there was a lot of underlying demand that had been building earlier in the year, especially in better communities like Halton. Most agents and brokerages had expected this to be a strong year. And with interest rates remaining low, if the lock-down period was not too prolonged, many people expected that the market may return to strength.

Fast forward and the last few months have been a busier period than we have seen in many years. Declining sales abruptly stopped in June, when the number of homes sold in Halton were even with June, 2019.

Things then took off from there. In July, 2020, units sold were the highest for any July since July, 2015. And in August, sales were not only dramatically higher than in August, 2019, they were higher than ANY individual month since May, 2017.

This is pretty remarkable when you consider that May is traditionally the peak of the Spring market, the strongest sales period of the year, and August is traditionally a MUCH slower sales period, due to summer holidays. Average prices have also been trending higher, increasing more than 10% in August, 2020 compared to August, 2019.

So, indeed the market has returned to strength, perhaps more so than even optimists might have expected. The million-dollar question is where does the market go from here?

There are certainly lots of opinions about this question. Some say that the recent strength is simply a timing shift of purchases from the dormant early Covid period to now. And it is true that, despite this recent remarkable strength, the total number of sales for the full year is still below normal. With weakness in the economy, many businesses and consumers still struggling, and Covid cases rising again, some believe the market is due for a pull back. Others believe that the underlying demand for real estate is solid and sales will continue to be very strong in the coming months.

This of course makes planning difficult if you are a homeowner thinking of selling, or a buyer thinking of buying. No one has a crystal ball, so each person will have to make their own judgment, based on their own circumstances, time horizon, and tolerance for risk.

Only time will tell, but I think we can rest assured that even if there is a period of weakness, the underlying attractiveness of real estate in the growing GTA, combined with supply constraints, will continue to positively impact the real estate market over the medium to longer term.

DOWN PAYMENT

VERIFICATION • FIVE KEY POINTS • written by JASON WOODS

One of the essential aspects of every mortgage application is the discussion pertaining to your down payment. Home purchases in Canada require a minimum down payment of your own funds to be put towards the purchase. It is important that during the discussions with your Mortgage Broker that all the cards are on the table pertaining to your down payment. Doing so can save you time and stress later on in the process.

Most home buyers are aware that they will require a certain amount of money for a down payment. What many do not realize is that lenders are required to verify the source of the funds to ensure that they are coming from an acceptable source. Here are a few facts to keep in mind:

1

Lenders require a 90-day bank account history for the bank account holding the down payment funds. The statements must include your name, account

number and statement dates. These statements can be savings, chequing, RRSP, TFSA etc. but moving money around before these accounts are confirmed will only require more documentation. Do not move any funds until after your down payment has been verified by the lender.

JasonWoodsEditorial_Oct2020.indd 1

2020-09-23 4:10 PM

31

2

A common hesitation that we often hear from clients is that their bank statements include a lot of personal details. As professionals, we completely

understand our clients’ concerns pertaining to your personal information and we always ensure that information is protected. Statements provided with blacked out names, account numbers or any other details are not acceptable. Unaltered documents are a requirement of confirming the down payment funds.

All large or unusual deposits need to be verified to ensure the source of those large deposits can be confirmed and can be used towards the down payment.

• Received a gift from an immediate family member? Easy, gift letter signed.

• Sold a vehicle? Easy, provide receipt of sale.

• CRA Tax Return? Easy, Notice of Assessment confirming the return amount.

• Transfer of funds from your TFSA? Easy, provide the 90-day history for the TFSA showing the withdrawal.

• Friend lent you money for the house purchase…. Deal Breaker.

• A large deposit into your account that you cannot provide

confirmation for…. Deal Breaker!

You were told that your minimum down payment was 5%, great! However, did you know that you are also required to show that you have an additional

1.5% of the purchase price saved to cover closing costs like legal fees?

5

Ensure that the funds for the down payment and closing costs stay in your bank account once you’ve provided confirmation. Those funds should

only leave your account when they are provided to your lawyer to complete the purchase. Lenders have the right to request updated statements closer to closing to ensure that the down payment is still there. If money is moved around, spent or if there are more large deposits into your account, those will all have to be confirmed.

The last thing that anyone wants when purchasing a property is added stress or for something to go wrong late in the process. Be open with you Mortgage Broker, we are here to help and to guide you through the process. Not sure about something pertaining to your down payment funds? Ask us. We are here to work you through the buying process by making sure you know exactly what you need to do.
