Increasing the $1 million price cap for insured mortgages to $1.5 million, effective December 15, 2024, to reflect current housing market realities and help more Canadians qualify for a mortgage with a downpayment below 20 per cent. Increasing the insured-mortgage cap—which has not been adjusted since 2012—to $1.5 million will help more Canadians buy a home.
Expanding eligibility for 30 year mortgage amortizations to all first-time homebuyers and to all buyers of new builds, effective December 15, 2024, to reduce the cost of monthly mortgage payments and help more Canadians buy a home. By helping Canadians buy new builds, including condos, the government is announcing yet another measure to incentivize more new housing construction and tackle the housing shortage. This builds on the Budget 2024 commitment, which came into effect on August 1, 2024, permitting 30 year mortgage amortizations for first-time homebuyers purchasing new builds, including condos.

🏠 Buying a house is an exciting and thrilling adventure. It’s also one full of responsibility and surprises.

📋 When buying a home, there are certain features you should look for in order to avoid getting stuck with costly repairs. The four features you should look for when buying a new house below are designed to help you find the house of your dreams.

1. A proper roof. The roof is one of the most important features (if not the most important) of any home.

2. An updated furnace and insulation. The furnace may still be in working order, but it will most likely be inefficient and costly on your utility bills.

3. A nice neighborhood. You can change almost everything within your house and on your property, but you can’t change its location.

4. Working plumbing. When looking at a house, be sure to check under the kitchen and bathroom sinks for signs of leaks and/or water damage.

✨ Here are a few tips to help you choose the right house cleaning service for you.

1. Look At The Company’s Experience

When you find a company with years of experience, you automatically know that they are obviously doing something right. They likely have a proven track record of providing good service and customer satisfaction.

2. Note Their Responsiveness

If it takes days for the company to get back to you, this is a good indication they don’t take your business seriously. Should you have concerns that require a timely response, their slow response time could be detrimental.

3. Inquire About The Company’s Security Measures

A good cleaning service will conduct background checks and drug screenings on every person they hire. A trustworthy company will have no problem discussing its hiring practices to help alleviate your concerns.

4. Check Their Reviews
It’s often hard to find good reviews of a company because satisfied customers usually don’t leave reviews. What you’re more likely to find is bad reviews if the company has a habit of providing poor customer service.

If you find very few good reviews but also very few bad reviews, it’s likely the company is a good choice. Be very leery of hiring a company with many bad reviews.

🤝 Are you selling your home and concerned about keeping it and your belongings safe? Selling a home isn’t necessarily unsafe, but there are some safety concerns you should keep in mind.

🙏This post takes you through four such safety concerns and what you can do to ensure your home and your belongings stay safe and secure while your house is up for sale. Read these helpful tips every home seller should know.

1. Stash personal items and valuables. First, by stashing any valuables and/or collectibles you have, you don’t give would-be thieves a chance to steal your things.

2. Keep track of the people who come and go. If you keep track of each visitor, you’ll have a list of people to go to if any of your belongings go missing.

3. Forgo the open house. As a seller, open houses only account for about 6 percent of home sales.

4.Install security cameras. Installing security cameras doesn’t just keep your belongings safe, they also increase the home’s value.

🚰 Your home’s pipes have a very important job. They carry fresh water in and carry waste out.

👇 Here’s how to deal with slow-moving or clogged drains and pipes and keep them in tip-top shape.

Be careful what you put down the drains

While it’s easy to assume the liquid goes through the pipes as water does, the reality is it actually solidifies quickly and collects in specific spots along the way.

Run hot water

One of the easiest ways to help your drains stay clear is to get in the habit of running hot water down them after each use.

Use baking soda and vinegar

Let the combo do its job for 15 minutes and then run hot water down the drain for a few seconds.

💡 We use electricity for just about everything we do these days. This doesn’t mean, however, that you should dread the walk to your mailbox each month when the bill arrives.

🔻 Here are several ways to reduce your electric bill.

-Turn off and unplug
Unplugging things you don’t use all the time like phone chargers, tvs, toasters, etc. Will reduce your electricity consumption and lower your monthly bill.

-Change the light bulbs
If you turn the lights on as soon as the sun begins to set, you may want to consider changing out the light bulbs around your home with greener options.

-Upgrade appliances
Newer appliances tend to be more energy efficient than older models. While it’s not always possible to upgrade major appliances, making upgrades to many smaller appliances can make a difference too.

-Change filters
Air conditioners and furnaces use filters to clean the air. You may think you’re saving money by not changing the filters out regularly, but ultimately, you’re actually spending more money on electricity than you’re saving on not buying new filters.

-Cool your home naturally
Cooling your home with air conditioning uses a lot of electricity. Open windows and use fans to draw hot air out and block the sun from streaming in through windows to keep rooms cool.

✨ Stop stressing over that dirty toaster. Here’s how to clean it quickly and easily!

6 STEPS TO A CLEAN TOASTER & TOASTER OVEN

CLEAN TOASTER

Step 1: Unplug the toaster and hold it over a trashcan or the sink.

Step 2: Slide the crumb tray out and empty it into the garbage.

Step 3: Shake the toaster to remove crumbs. Use a pastry brush or spatula to remove any stubborn bits.

Step 4: Spray the crumb tray with cleaner and wipe it with a damp sponge. If the tray is removable, wash it in warm soapy water before reinserting.

Step 5: Wipe down the exterior of the appliance.

Step 6: Polish stainless steel. If our toaster is stainless steel, use a stainless-steel cleaner to buff it to a brilliant shine.

TOASTER OVEN

Step 1: Unplug the appliance.

Step 2: Open the toaster oven and shake out any food particles into the garbage.

Step 3: In warm, soapy water, wash any removable parts well using a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse well and air dry.

Step 4: Use an all-purpose cleaner and a damp sponge to clean the interior.

Step 5: Clean the exterior. For glass surfaces use the glass cleaner. If your oven is stainless steel, use the stainless-steel cleaner.

Step 6: Reassemble all the pieces and allow the appliance to air dry completely before plugging back in.
