Buying real estate is an emotional business. You're about to make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

These are some of the typical feelings buyers are likely to experience.

Uncertainty
This is common when you're poised to make a big decision. Crunch the numbers to help ease this anxiety. If the math makes sense, then so does your decision.

Nervous
Many folks worry about talking to a bank mortgage specialist or mortgage broker. Mostly, they're worried about hearing the word "no" and having plans derail. So, prepare thoroughly for the encounter. Get your down payment savings as high as possible and ensure your credit score is in good shape. Avoid job-hopping and pay off as much debt as possible.

Super-excited
It's hard to…

Imagine you see a home advertised for sale in a desirable neighbourhood. However, you find out the property is listed well above comparable sales in the area. In other words, above its market value. Is that listing still worth seeing? There are many reasons why sellers might list their property for a price that seems way above the market. The home might have highly desirable features that make it worth a premium, such as a spacious backyard or a finished basement. Or, the seller might assume (often mistakenly) that listing high will result in higher-priced offers. In either case, the home is likely worth a closer look, especially if it otherwise checks most or all of the boxes on your wish list. If there are additional features that have driven up the…

The Bank of Canada today held its target for the overnight rate at 5%, with the Bank Rate at 5¼% and the deposit rate at 5%. The Bank is continuing its policy of quantitative tightening.

The Bank expects the global economy to continue growing at a rate of about 3%, with inflation in most advanced economies easing gradually. The US economy has again proven stronger than anticipated, buoyed by resilient consumption and robust business and government spending. US GDP growth is expected to slow in the second half of this year, but remain stronger than forecast in January. The euro area is projected to gradually recover from current weak growth. Global oil prices have moved up, averaging about $5 higher than assumed in the January Monetary Policy…

When you’re preparing your home for a sale or a good spring clean, you should declutter as much as possible. That makes your property appear neater and more spacious to buyers. However, that doesn’t mean you have to toss items in the trash or haul them to a landfill site. There are many other, more environmentally-friendly ways to dispose of unwanted items. One popular technique is to sell them online. Even if you think an old chair isn’t worth much, as the saying goes, “One person’s junk is another’s treasure.” There are several websites for selling items quickly, including Facebook Marketplace. In fact, you can list items today and potentially sell them this week. Just be sure to set prices low, as people tend to look for deals on these sites. You…

March sales rose to 2,664 units, a 10 per cent year-over-year gain and much higher than long-term trends. While new listings did pick up over last month, the 3,172 units were still below what we typically see in March and not enough relative to sales to drive any change in the supply situation. In March, the sales-to-new listings ratio rose to 84 per cent, and the months of supply fell below one month. 

“We have not seen March conditions this tight since 2006, which is also the last time we reported high levels of interprovincial migration and a months-of-supply below one month," said Ann-Marie Lurie, Chief Economist at CREB®. “Moreover, we are entering the third consecutive year of a market favouring the seller as the two-year…

When you read or watch the news about the real estate market, it may seem reasonable to make the assumption that the information applies equally to your street or community. But, that isn’t always true. In fact, the characteristics of your local real estate market can differ in many respects from the regional or national market. Say the regional real estate market is most active during certain months of the year. That might be true of your neighbourhood, too. But, there may also be some caveats. If, for example, buyers are eagerly awaiting listings to come up in your community, then that micro market might heat up faster than other areas in the region. Knowing how your local market works and how it differs from the larger regional market is crucial…
