Help potential buyers imagine themselves in their new home

Published April 23, 2021

Now is an especially good time to sell your home in Calgary as the real estate market had a great start to the spring season. In March the average sold prices increased by 13% year-over-year and interest rates are still historically low.

Did you know that when you’re preparing your home for sale it’s critical to look at it through potential buyers’ eyes? It’s true. If you look at your home this way, you can potentially not only improve your property’s curb appeal, but you can potentially increase the sale price of your home. And, who wouldn’t want the highest possible price?!

By implementing effective strategies for cleaning, repairing, decluttering and neutralizing every room you’ll provide a crisp, clean slate to help potential buyers see themselves living in the space.

It doesn’t have to take a ton of cash to meet your objectives; a little organization and some elbow grease will do the trick.

Get started on your mission today. It’ll definitely be worth the effort! For more tips, contact Bill.

Time to enter the real estate market?

Published March 19, 2021

Now might be the perfect time to purchase that home you’ve been dreaming about with interest rates at rock-bottom levels. It’s important to start out by knowing what mortgage you can comfortably afford, and to your short-and long-term advantage that you shop around for the best mortgage interest rate, terms and options.

You should meet with a lender or mortgage broker to establish how much of a mortgage you can actually qualify for. Going through the mortgage pre-qualification process before you begin your home search will bring your house hunting into focus and give you a better idea of the homes that fit into your price range.

You don’t want to sacrifice lifestyle for a house. Determine how much of a home (mortgage) you can afford by considering the following and doing your homework. You won’t regret it!

  • Your annual household income
  • Your down-payment (you should have 5% of the purchase price of the home for the down payment, but ideally even more)
  • Your debt-load
  • Your interest rate
  • Your monthly mortgage payment
  • Your amortization period (length of time required to pay off the loan)
  • Your closing costs
  • Your property taxes
  • Your homeowner’s insurance
  • Your home maintenance costs

Considering affordability will not only help you determine the maximum mortgage you can afford, it will give you an idea of what monthly mortgage payment to expect. If you’d like to discuss mortgage affordability call 403-606-1765 to arrange an appointment.
