Leslie Penney wrote a new blog post: Are we too vulnerable for a rate hike just yet?

Leslie Penney wrote a new blog post: Are we too vulnerable for a rate hike just yet? Even though the most recent speech by Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney indicated rates should be on the rise come this fall, I feel that we’re still a little too vulnerable at this point to start the wheels in motion. One thing to bolster this motive to increase rates is the latest employment numbers. [...]

Blair Anderson commented on the blog post Auxilium Mortgage Newsletter – May Cash-back programs were first introduced in the early 90's. The program was designed to help first-time home buyers tackle their number one problem - Raising the money for a down payment and closing costs. The original rules dictated that the cash-back could not be used for a down payment, ONLY for closing costs. It was [...]

Ross Taylor commented on the blog post Auxilium Mortgage Newsletter – May Glad to see someone explain the skinny on cash back mortgages - I don't think I have ever actually done one for someone - could not in good conscience. Still they exist for a reason. Why is it ok to punish the stated income self employed folks, and at the same time readily encourage people [...]

Leslie Penney wrote a new blog post: It's not all about the rate

Thu, 03 May 2012 18:15:59 +0000

Leslie Penney wrote a new blog post: It's not all about the rate There have been a lot of inquiries lately from clients about whether or not they should lock in their variable rate mortgage. Of course, there is no one-size answer to fit everyone’s situation and each client needs to be assessed accordingly. But when clients are looking to their broker to arrange their mortgage, their biggest [...]

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 10:00:26 +0000

Ross Taylor wrote a new blog post: Rebuild your credit history after a bankruptcy or consumer proposal There's nothing more sickening than being approved for a 29% car loan, or only qualifying for an 8% private mortgage. I cannot stress enough the importance of rebuilding your credit history after a major event like bankruptcy or consumer proposal. It's just as true if you have recently paid off your bad debts some other [...]

Ross Taylor wrote a new blog post: Lady with bad credit wants new mortgage asap - not so fast! Some people are chronically bad or just plain indifferent towards their credit history. I may have known them many years, and repeatedly given the same advice, but when next we meet, it seems like nothing has changed. And then one day they wake up and decide they have to buy a house or lease a [...]

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 20:10:13 +0000

Leslie Penney wrote a new blog post: Higher rates around the corner? It came as no surprise this time, either. The Bank of Canada kept rates steady this time around, but emphasized that we need to prepare ourselves for higher rates because they’re coming sooner rather than later. Basically, they said that economies all over the world are improving and that some of the stimulus in place [...]

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:15:45 +0000

Ross Taylor wrote a new blog post: Will the real estate and mortgage doomsayers be right? It seems every day I read an article about our (apparently) over heated real estate market. Regular commentary from our Finance Minister; concerns from OSFI; the banks lobbying for change in lending guidelines, and on and on. No expert wants to be reminded they 'missed the call' if in fact our real estate market heads [...]
