The Bank of Canada has once again decided to hold the prime lending rate at 1.75%.  What this means for borrowers is that the prime rate used for most lenders is 3.95% in calculating adjustable/variable-rate mortgages.  Contact me with questions or requests for more information.  https://globalnews.ca/news/6445742/bank-of-canada-rate-announcement-jan-22-2020/

Today, buying a house can be much easier than before, with the abundance of
financial options available through a Mortgage Broker. Although Banks do not, Mortgage Brokers do offer a variety of financial products to suit a broad range of homebuyer’s needs. However, without a thorough understanding of what these mortgages entail, you could deplete your finances quickly.

Keith Uthe Demystifying Mortgages wishes you the happiest of holidays this season. May the New Year be filled with joy, health, and prosperity!

My personal vision is that ‘Everyone shall live a life of abundance.’ With that in mind, let us start 2020 off on the right foot by scheduling your five-minute mortgage review with me. Five minutes of your time could save you thousands of dollars in mortgage interest and increase your financial abundance. In recent months, we have saved clients’ between $8,000 and $20,000 in mortgage interest. Wouldn’t it be great to add that money to your wealth rather than the banks’ wealth?

The federal election is over and it will be interesting to see over the coming months how this will affect the Canadian mortgage and real estate market.

Many agree that mortgage rules and related policy will not be a significant priority for the Liberal government during this term. However, they have made an election promise to increase eligibility of their recently introduced First Time Homebuyer Incentive plan to assist those in larger markets such as Vancouver and Toronto.

Debt is a familiar battle people are faced with today as they depend on credit to bridge almost every financial gap from buying groceries to purchasing a house and even getting an education. As a result, debt instruments like mortgages and credit cards have become a norm to improve living standards. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, however, getting into debt without a financial plan or an exit strategy can eat away your savings and push you to the point of irreversible financial distress. 

If you’re considering purchasing a house or investing in real estate, chances are you need to obtain a mortgage to fulfill your dream. Your knowledge of the various mortgage products and lenders may be limited, which may make selecting the right option a little challenging.

Most home buyers understand that the path to home ownership is through a mortgage.

Also known as an independent broker, these professionals simplify the mortgage process and take care of all the leg work involved.
