- 11/22/07 02:37 AM
What's the biggest mistake you can make selling your home? Real Estate professionals are unanimous on this issue:Picking the wrong list price. Start out with too-high of an asking price and home-buyers will take your home off their list-permanently. After all, most buyers spend five to six weeks shopping for a home, often visiting a dozen or more before making a purchase offer. They, and their Real Estate Agents, know what's going on in the market and recognize an overpriced home when they see one. Will they offer you a lower-priced contract or wait around until you drop your price? Not likely. … (0 comments)

halton hills: 20% down conventional mortgage in Canada
- 05/08/07 02:46 PM
The definition of a "conventional mortgage" has now changed in Canada, making the dream of home ownership more affordable. Until now in Canadians needed to place a whopping 25% down payment on their homes to avoid having to buy mortgage insurance. A recent amendment to the Bank Act now allows borrowers to obtain conventional financing, free of the added expense of mortgage insurance, with a 20 percent down payment. This 5 percent drop is significant for the average home buyer. On $200,000 property, instead of having to come up with a down payment of $50,000, a buyer needs only $40,000 to avoid paying … (0 comments)
