Should you lock in your mortgage?

June 27, 2008

Interest rates are still low, but they’ve been steadily increasing. Here are some points to help you make the right mortgage decision.

If you are buying a home, you may be wondering whether it’s better to lock in a fixed rate in case rates continue to go up, or choose a variable rate that floats with the prime rate. Similarly, if your existing mortgage is variable, you may be wondering whether now is the time to lock in.

Mortgage rates are difficult to predict. It is best to base your decision on your personal situation and comfort level, rather on economic expectations.

Going variable

Variable-rate mortgages can be attractive - the interest rate is lower than for a fixed mortgage of similar size and duration.

With some mortgages, as rates fluctuate, so does the amount of your mortgage payments. Or, with set payment amounts, the portion of the payment that covers your mortgage principal will fluctuate.

In an environment of falling rates, you’ll pay down more principal and pay less interest. But if rates go up, your principal payments will shrink and it may take you longer to fully pay for your home.

Should you choose a variable-rate mortgage? If you can tolerate the uncertainty, the variable rate could save you money over the long term.

Locking in

When you lock in to a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate will be higher than for comparable variable-rate products. The benefit, however, is that your rate is fixed for the term of the mortgage.

Even if rates in general rise substantially, your rate is guaranteed not to change. From the moment you lock in, you’ll know exactly what your payments will be and how much of the principal will remain at the end of the term.

Should you choose a fixed-rate mortgage? If fluctuation rates are going to keep you awake at night, then a fixed-rate mortgage may be worth the peace of mind it can give you.

Your decision

Ultimately, the decision to choose a variable or a fixed-rate mortgage is as personal as choosing the right home. It should always be made with informed advice from a professional, who can help you evaluate the options based on your unique circumstances.

Repossession du Jour: Triplex in Central East Montreal

June 12, 2008

Funky looking doors, no?

Asking Price: $239,000
Property Type :
Triplex
Bedrooms : 2
Interior Floor Space : 800 sqft
Built in : 1910
Location : Central - East (Montréal)
City Evaluation: $228,200

Although the information sheet describes the location as “Central”, we’ll call it Central-East, since the near intersection are borderline Hochelaga-Maisonneuve area. And we ALL know that’s not really central “downtownish”, is it?

This little triplex with its funky looking doors is now listed under foreclosure properties by RE/MAX 2000.
The MLS sheet does not mention it, but it has a yearly gross revenue of $17,000 more or less. Good? Well, that will depend on the property’s expenses, which there is no mention of it either.

There are also no additional images of this property. But if you are so keen to know more, you can  contact us for more Repossession listings in the area.

Why Deal with a Mortgage Broker?

June 3, 2008

Brokers search for the best lender package to suit your specific financial situation, whether it’s with a Chartered Bank, Trust or Insurance Company. There is a wide variety of options and features available to homebuyers today. To find the best offer takes a lot of time and effort. The mortgage process within today’s very competitive marketplace makes many Canadian homebuyers puzzled. It truly pays to work with a mortgage professional that will represent you and ensure the mortgage you get is the one best tailored to your needs.

NOTE: Choosing the wrong mortgage can cost you thousands of unnecessary paid interest money.

Why Should You Go To a Mortgage Broker First?

A professional presentation to a lender on the first application will get the best response and save you valuable time and money. Secondary applications with previous credit bureau inquiries may be more costly.
Often the success of obtaining mortgage approval depends on the way a proposal is presented and to whom it is sent. Your Mortgage Broker is trained to present your mortgage proposal to obtain the most immediate and positive result.

Example: You don’t call an insurance company for insurance - you use an insurance broker, because of their expertise, product knowledge and rates. So remember, call your mortgage broker first!

How Do Brokers Get Better Deals Than Many Banks?

Brokers often develop professional relationships with private sources of funds, termed private lenders. These lenders can provide many various mortgage products not available at conventional sources.

Can You Still Go Through Your Bank With Your Broker?

Yes, letting a Mortgage Broker represent you to your own financial institution can often result in a better rate than you could get on your own.

Repossession du Jour: Penthouse in St Laurent Street.

June 1, 2008

The Montreal Real Estate Blog opens a new section: Repossession du Jour or Foreclosure du Jour. We haven’t really decided on the title yet. But for the time being, we’ll call it a Repossession, alright?.

Here is our first contestant: A lovely penthouse located in St Laurent Street.
We won’t give you the exact address BUT we will give you the contact information, so if you are interested, you can do your homework and get back to us with your review.
Fair enough?

Great.

Here are the facts…illustrated.

repo-2.jpg
repo-3.jpg
repo-4.jpg
repo-5.jpg

Asking Price: $ 320,000
Property Type :
Condominium
Bedrooms : 2
Bathrooms : 1
Interior Floor Space : 1100 sqft
Built in : 2005
Location : Le Plateau-Mont-Royal (Montréal)
City Evaluation: $268,100

Now, you might think that for a repossession this isn’t the best deal. And you are probably right, but considering the city evaluation against the asking price, there’s only a difference of 52k - more or less. We’d dare to say that there is ample room for negotiation.

The property is listed with Plateau Immobilier INC.(after all, it’s located in the Plateau) you can contact listing agents through this MLS link

or

You can also contact us for more Repossession listings in the area.

And a third option, you can also stay tuned for more foreclosure properties listed in Montreal by Joining the Montreal Real Estate Blog

More Listings on the Market Slows Canadian Price Increase

May 27, 2008

The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) reported Friday that the price for resale homes rose only 4% in April compared with the same month a year earlier, the slowest rate of increase in six years.

The slowdown in price increases resulted from a sharp increase in listings and a slower growth in sales, the report showed. Two new properties were listed for sale for every home that sold through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system across Canada in April.

The number of new listings of homes for sale on the MLS of real estate boards in Canada reached its highest level ever in April 2008 at 77,248 units, the report showed. Meanwhile, the number of homes sold during the month came in at 36,614 units in April

The national MLS residential average price rose 4% year-over-year to $317,619 in April 2008. This is the smallest year-over-year price increase in over six years.

Your Mortgage Broker: A Source for Financial Solutions

May 26, 2008

A mortgage broker can assist you in ways that go well beyond offering great rates.

Many people think of a mortgage broker as someone who can help them get a good rate on their mortgage. While this is certainly true, a mortgage broker can also help you with much more than that.

A mortgage broker is a licensed financial professional with whom you can form a long-term relationship that can extend to various types of financing. Here are some examples:

  • If you have an upcoming expense, such as sending your child to college or university, your mortgage broker can help you cash out equity in your home or secure a home equity line of credit.
  • If you are looking to buy a cabin or lakefront property, a mortgage broker can help you with financing for it.
  • Little-known fact: If you are having problems meeting all of your financial obligations, a mortgage broker can help you consolidate your debts by securing a debt consolidation loan, so you have just a single, manageable payment every month.
  • If you want to finance a renovation or other major expenditures, your broker can help arrange suitable refinancing options.
  • When it’s time to renew the mortgage, your broker can find a competitive mortgage program and interest rate other than your current bank or financial institutions resulting in further savings.
  • Mortgage brokers may also be able to give you information about legal services for buying a home and recommend realtors, appraisers, and home inspectors.

Surestimer le prix d’une propriété: risqué!

May 24, 2008

Beaucoup de vendeurs se disent qu’ils n’ont rien à perdre à essayer de lister leur propriété à un prix plus élevé. Ils se disent que leur prix est toujours négociable ou qu’ils pourront toujours réajuster leur prix en cour de route. Avec les conditions actuelles du marché cette stratégie peut s’avérer plutôt néfaste qu’avantageuse pour l’obtention du meilleur prix possible. Voici pourquoi :

Moins de gens verront la propriété.

Il y a plusieurs moyens d’offrir de la visibilité à une propriété à vendre. La pancarte À VENDRE, le bouche à oreille, la publicité dans les journaux ou à la télévision et bien entendu, l’internet. La publicité sur internet peut se faire à travers plusieurs différents sites ex. :MLS.ca, les sites des différentes bannières de courtiers immobiliers, les sites de petites annonces et biens d’autres possibilités. Le fait est que la plus part de ces sites fonctionnent avec des moteurs de recherche qui permettent aux utilisateurs de sélectionner leurs critères de recherche. Le prix maximal qui les intéresse est souvent le critère le plus important et fonctionne dans la plupart des cas par tranches de 10 000$ ou 25 000$. Cela signifie qu’un acheteur qui a un budget maximal de 235 000$ pour son acquisition devra sélectionner la tranche de prix allant jusqu’à 240 000$ pour les tranches de 10 000$ ou 250 000$ si ce sont des tranches de 25 000$. Bien sur souvent, les acheteurs sélectionneront un montant un peu plus haut que leur budget mais il est important de savoir que dans bien des cas aujourd’hui, la marge de négociation est étroite dans le cas ou la propriété est listée au bon prix et les acheteurs qui sont de plus en plus informés le savent et limitent leurs recherches à quelques milliers de dollars au dessus de leur budget. Alors imaginez le nombre de clients potentiels qui pourraient se permettre de s’offrir la propriété mais qui risque de ne même pas la voir puisque elle est présentée à un prix qui dépasse la tranche qui les intéresse.

Difficiles d’attirer les offres.

Certains acheteurs verront tout de même la propriété car ils ont un budget plus élevé. Par contre, lorsqu’ils la visiteront ils la compareront à d’autres du même prix mais qui offrent beaucoup plus. Alors pourquoi feraient-ils une offre sur celle-ci si leur budget leur permettre d’acheter l’autre qu’ils ont vu qui est beaucoup plus grande ou qui offre beaucoup plus de luxe ou d’avantages?

Difficiles d’obtenir le financement.

Dans la plupart des cas, la promesse d’achat sera conditionnelle à l’obtention d’un prêt hypothécaire. Les institutions financières ou les compagnies d’assurances prêts procéderont dans la majorité des cas à une évaluation de la propriété. Pour ce faire ils étudieront le marché pour savoir leur degré de risque en cas de mauvais paiement de la part de l’acheteur. S’ils reprennent la propriété et doivent la remettre sur le marché pourront-ils facilement la revendre et récupérer leur investissement? Pour ce faire ils utiliseront les comparables À VENDRE et VENDUS. Cela signifie que même si on réussit à attirer l’attention sur la propriété au point d’obtenir une offre, la transaction risque d’échouer à cause de la difficulté à obtenir le financement.

Risque de faire vendre la compétition.

Les agents immobiliers ainsi que les acheteurs qui sont de plus en plus informés ont accès à toutes sortes d’informations qui leurs permet de comparer les produits. Ça veut dire qu’une propriété dont le prix est trop élevé pourrait être utilisée pour en faire vendre une autre puisque pour la même qualité on peut payer moins cher ou qu’on peut obtenir mieux pour le même prix.

La propriété souffre d’un désintéressement du marché.

Le marché d’aujourd’hui est encore bouillonnant. Tout se passe très vite et les gens y sont habitués. Une propriété ne reste pas très longtemps à vendre. Les acheteurs avertis épluchent le marché à travers des différents moyens qu’ils ont de savoir tout ce qui est à vendre. Ils risquent de voir et de revoir les mêmes maisons à différents endroits et ils sont à la recherchent de nouveauté. Alors même si en cour de route on décide de réduire le prix de vente, le nouveau prix risque de ne pas faire beaucoup de vagues car la propriété ne sera quand même pas une nouveauté. Aussi plusieurs acheteurs auront des craintes lorsqu’il s’agit d’une propriété qui est sur le marché depuis longtemps : Pourquoi cette maison n’a pas trouvé preneur? Il doit y avoir quelque chose qui cloche.

En résumé, c’est préférable de battre le fer quand il est chaud! Les vendeurs ont tout intérêt d’être réalistes face à la valeur de leur bien comparé à ce qu’il y a de disponible sur le marché. Les comparables À VENDRE et VENDUS leur donneront l’heure juste sur le prix qu’ils peuvent espérer. Il est préférable d’afficher un prix plus près du prix auquel on est prêt à vendre pour attirer le plus d’attention possible. Il est mieux de négocier serré que de n’avoir aucune offre à négocier. Dans un monde de surconsommation comme le nôtre on obtient toujours un meilleur prix lorsque c’est le nouveau truc in alors les meilleures offres risques d’arriver lorsque la propriété est toute fraîche sur le marché. Ceci bien sûr si elle est affichez au bon prix pour le bon produit.

Dropping your price a little too late?

May 16, 2008

You started out with a high listing price. It’s been a while since your property is for sale…and no offers.

What could be wrong?

The property is in a hot neighbourhood, so the location is not the problem.

The conditions are great; top-notch with lots of renovations. You even got complemented on the décor and how well maintained it was.

Then why are there no offers?

Could it be the price?

After giving it some thought, you realized that perhaps, the reason why those few visitors never made an offer is because your property might be over the market value.

And you should know what the market value is…

Before listing your property, you checked the MLS for the current listings in your area, compared to similar properties, called an agent to give you a free home evaluation (just to make sure) and got a sheet called the “Comparable Market Analysis” (CMA), then decided what the asking price should be - regardless of what that CMA thingy said about the suggested asking price. Did you not?

Ok.

Now your property is NOT selling. What do you do next?

You drop the price. But, by now it might be a little too late. Your property is old news.

(The Risks of) selling your home above market price.

Let’s say you finally get an accepted offer for your house, from an uninformed buyer.

Like most buyers out there, they will need a mortgage; in these situations the offer to purchase is conditional to mortgage approval. No mortgage, no deal.

When receiving the (signed and final) offer to purchase, the mortgage lender requires an appraisal of the property before they consent to the financing. If the current market conditions and the comparable sales for the last six months do not support your sales price, the banks won’t approve it.

The lender will give their own appraisal to the buyer, and the amount they are willing to lend based on that evaluation. If the buyer is putting 20% down payment, the bank will finance 80%. Not a penny more. Which means: the buyers have to get more money, so they can afford your property.

And your deal falls through.

If the buyer is still interested, you can try to re-negotiate the price or the terms. But if not, your property could go back on the market.

Remember:

The longer a home sits on the market, the harder it is to get a good offer.

Once the offer expires, your property is available for new visits, but by now any informed potential buyer who kept an eye on your property will know there were offers on the table, and if they don’t know they will ask. It is your responsibility (or your listing agent’s) to reveal the reasons why the deal didn’t go through, without disclosing the previous accepted price.

There’s nothing more frustrating than having all the ingredients for a successful sale, (pre-approved buyer, a good inspection report, etc.) and then having the bank refusing to lend the money because the property “Is not worth that amount”

New buyers interested in making an offer will think that since the property has been on the market so long; the owner might be desperate to sell by now, and making a low-ball offer will probably get accepted.

By starting out with a high listing price, you could end up selling for a much lower price.

Here are a few more reasons why you should not overprice your home

Les Grandes Lignes du Programme d’Accession à la Propriété

May 15, 2008

On entend souvent parlé du programme d’aide financière offert aux premiers acheteurs désirant acquérir une 1ère propriété à Montréal. Cet article devrait vous éclaircir sur les conditions d’admission qui sont pour le moins sévères.

Qui est admissible?

Toute personne physique qui achète sa première propriété.

(Le demandeur doit démontrer qu’il n’a pas été propriétaire d’une habitation au Québec durant les 5 dernières années.)

Quels types de propriétés sont admissibles?

Propriétés neuves abordables. C’est-à-dire que le prix incluant les taxes et les extras ne doit pas dépasser:

-180 000$ pour un ménage sans enfant pour avoir droit à une aide financière de 6500$.

-235 000$ pour un ménage avec au moins un enfant de moins de 18 ans (Lors de l’inscription au Registre foncier.) pour avoir droit à une aide financière de 10 000$.

  • S’il s’agit d’un logement certifié conforme au programme d’efficacité énergétique Novoclimat, le prix d’achat admissible augmente de 2500$.
  • Le demandeur doit être le premier acheteur et la propriété doit être inscrite à un programme de garantie des maisons neuves.
  • La propriété ne doit pas avoir été occupée avant son achat. ( Sauf par le demandeur pendant un maximum de 12 mois. )

Immeubles locatifs existants entièrement résidentiels (de 2 à 5 logements) dont la valeur foncière pour le terrain et le bâtiment inscrite au rôle d’évaluation en vigueur au moment de la demande ne dépasse pas :

-Duplex : 296 000$ pour une aide financière de 5500$
-Triplex : 346 000$ pour une aide financière de 7500$
-Quadruplex : 398 000$ pour une aide financière de 8000$
-Quintuplex : 455 000$ pour une aide financière de 8500$

  • Le demandeur doit habiter l’immeuble à titre de locataire depuis plus de 6 mois avant l’achat.
  • Le vendeur de l’immeuble ne doit pas avoir occupé un logement de la propriété au cours des 12 mois précédant l’acquisition par le demandeur.
  • La bâtisse doit avoir été construite ou transformée en bâtiment résidentiel depuis plus de 10 ans.
  • Le bâtiment ne doit pas être détenu en copropriété divise lors de l’acquisition par le demandeur.

IMPORTANT: Le demandeur de l’aide financière doit occuper à titre de résidence principale sa nouvelle habitation pendant au moins 3 ans à compter de la date d’achat. Dans le cas d’un bâtiment locatif (résidentiel de 2 à 5 logements), il ne doit pas être converti en copropriété divise dans les trois ans qui suivent l’obtention de l’aide financière. Si le propriétaire ayant bénéficié de l’aide financière ne respecte pas ses engagements il sera tenu de rembourser en tout ou en partie cette aide.

Le programme d’accession à la propriété devrait prendre fin le 31 décembre 2009 mais pourrait se terminer avant si les fonds sont épuisés.

Seven Years Later, Still For Sale

May 14, 2008

Abandoned building

As long as I can remember the area around Notre Dame Street and de la Montagne has been continually changing.
Fields were cleared up, condos were developed on the west, then on the east side, a new student housing project is about to open. Many years have gone by since all the construction began, and amazingly enough this guy still has his for sale sign.

If I am not mistaken, it has been about seven years, maybe even more, that this property has had that same old sign: FOR SALE OR FOR RENT.

Previously, they had tenants on the main floor. Now, they don’t even have that. The building looks empty, run down and abandoned.
Trying to get the scoop on the situation here, I made a few calls to the number posted. No luck. If it’s not busy, the answering machine picks up. So, what’s the deal here? Is it for sale or not? Is it available for rent?
Are they selling out to the next developer? I think that’s just it.
