Going to have to develop a caffeine addiction to show off my mug

Got my mug back from Kiln Café and couldn’t be happier with the final result! For those of you who know me, im very unartistic so this was quite a challenge for me 🤣.

Such a great activity they offer and there’s so many options of things to paint.

Solar panels used to be a “green” thing. Now they’re becoming a money thing. With power rates climbing in Nova Scotia, buyers are starting to ask about electricity costs and whether a home has solar.

This is quietly starting to affect home value. If you own a home, or thinking about buying one, this is something you’ll want to watch.

I just want to take a moment to explain two key advantages of the new Nova Scotia First-Time Homebuyers Program, using a $400,000 home as an example.

Before, you needed at least 5% down, so $20,000. And for a mortgage of this size you would have to pay about $15,000 in mortgage insurance.

Now, with the new program, you only need a 2% down payment, just $8,000, and here’s a big part… you don’t need mortgage insurance. The Province of Nova Scotia is partnering with certain credit unions and backing these mortgages, meaning more savings for you.

There is more to it, and I’ll make a separate longer video reviewing everything but I just wanted to make sure you were informed on these 2 big points.

The takeaway is if you’ve been stuck renting because saving $20,000 felt impossible… saving $8,000 is a very different conversation.

If you’re wondering whether homeownership is within reach for you, get in touch today. Don’t wait… Oby Opens Doors, and I can help you get started on your journey.

HUGE NEWS FOR FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS!

I saw this article today shared by NSAR and it’s really exciting news for anyone interested in owning a home. I posted some screenshots below and the link to the full article is in the comments.

The Province of Nova Scotia launched a new first-time homebuyers program today where qualified buyers can purchase with as little as 2% down through participating credit unions. The province is backing the mortgage, so there’s no need for traditional mortgage insurance.

There are a couple requirements to qualify ⬇️
– Income under $200k
– Credit score of 630+
– Must pass the CMHC stress test to determine what size mortgage you can carry
– Open to first-time buyers or anyone who hasn’t owned in 4 years
– Price cap is $570k in HRM/East Hants and $500k for the rest of NS

If you’ve felt stuck renting because saving a big down payment seemed impossible, this is definitely something to look into.

Definitely worth a read!
