Making the most of Low Rates.

By
Mortgage and Lending with Mortgage Intelligence Mortgage Consulting

In today's market in Kamloops, a monthly rent payment would often pay for much better accomodation if the renter chose to actually own.  The low rates mean lower mortgage payments, increased buying power and reduced implications for debt servicing - the death of many a deal.

With prices of housing falling and house inventory increasing, it is time to contact your clients who currently rent and advise them to look at their buying options.  With the CMHC flexdown program, down payment does not have to be the deal breaker for the client. 

Now, not every client is ready to buy, for a number of reasons, but there is no reason they can't increase their readiness today.  There are simple and easy steps all buyers can take which can increase their options when it comes to borrowing money.  But it takes a plan and proper education to make this happen.  Can you name 5 things your buyers can do to increase their credit score?  I can.  I would love a chance to educate your clients and ready them to work with you.

Best Regards

All I can say is sell, sell, sell.  That will drive your inventory down and turn the market.

- interest rates sure makes it more appealing for home buyers & owners considering refinancing and should motivate them. In the article Time to Get Off the Fence and Into a Home, the same message comes in an article from NYTimes.com offered by Your Money. Another source with this message was from Smart Money, Time to refinance -- or buy a home? Good information to pass on to our buyers.

Best wishes for 2009!
