Struggling to understand today’s housing market?
By understanding the housing market, you’ll have a better sense of what, where and when to buy.
Buying a home is an important lifestyle and investment decision. You want to buy at the best price possible. You want your monthly payments to be as affordable as possible. You want your home to increase in value as much as possible.
To make sure all that happens, it’s important to look beyond your individual purchase before you buy. You need to look at larger market conditions. What’s happening around you (house price trends, mortgage rate movements, new home construction) will have an influence on your purchase. The more you know the more control you have.
In a buyer’s market, the number of homes available for sale exceeds the demand, so prices will either stabilize or drop. With fewer buyers and more homes, you not only have more options to choose from, you also have greater negotiating leverage. You have more time to look for the right home and you can evaluate the choices without feeling pressure to act too quickly.
Another major influence on your decision to buy is the mortgage interest rate. What rates are available now? Will they drop in the immediate future? Will they rise? If so, by how much?
So many questions and things to consider!
If you’re struggling to understand today’s housing market or having difficulty moving forward because the details of buying or selling a home seem overwhelming, give Bill Brandsma a call at 403-932-4433 or email bill@billbrandsma.com.

What’s the mortgage affordability process?
When buying a home, it’s important to start out by knowing what mortgage you can comfortably afford. 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.
Not only that, mortgage rates vary considerably and it is obviously to your short- and long-term advantage that you shop around for the best rate, terms and options.
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.
A good place to begin is with the affordability calculator (in the right hand sidebar). It will help you determine the maximum mortgage you can afford and will give you an idea of what monthly mortgage payment to expect.
