Saving Tips for Home Buyers:

Most Canadian households overlook the importance of saving and withdrawing money to pay for unexpected expenses or incur debt. Even though we know that we should have separate bank accounts for savings and daily expenses, it can be extremely difficult to put a certain percentage aside, even though it’s only a fraction of our gross income. This is as common as it is short-sighted.

Saving money is not only helpful for your future goals, like buying a home, but it can also help you handle unexpected expenses, so you can feel more financially secure. A general guideline is to save 10% of your income. How much you save can depend on factors like what you’re saving for, constraints attached to your goal and if you want to pay off any high-interest rate debts.

8 Best Ways to Save Money for the Future:

~ Track your expenses — make a budget.
~ Spend intentionally — cut out non-essentials.
~ Set savings goals — both short and long-term.
~ Decide your priorities.
~ Create an emergency fund.
~ Pick the right tools — grow your savings.
~ Pay off expensive debt with high interest or fees.
~ Use tax shelters and other ways to keep the maximum amount of savings.

Tracking your spending is the very best way to identify areas that you can save money. Written out in black and white, most people are surprised how much they spend and areas where they can cut back become very clear. All you need to do is track your spending for one month to get a good idea of where your money is going. Many people think, “Oh, I don’t need to do that. I already know where I spend my money.” The truth is surprising to most people; they really don’t realize how much they spend. You can’t say that you know how much you spend unless you have tracked your spending.

Once you’ve identified where you are spending your money, and you see areas where you would like to reduce your spending, you need to set an amount that you think is reasonable to spend and stick to it. To stick to your spending limits, you need to create a spending plan, and then follow your spending plan by only spending the amounts that you set out to spend in your plan. This is a very simple thing to do, and it is a very effective method to control you spending.

If you want to save for a house, you should have a solid plan in place. But first, make sure you know how much you need for the down payment. The money you save from the tips above could help you make these extra payments with ease. And that means you’ll be springing into homeownership before you know it!

Renting vs. Buying a House

Homeownership has long been a sign of success but comparing renting to buying isn't all that clear cut. Renting is less capital intensive, and it gives you the freedom to move when you please. But buying a home will help you build equity and wealth.
There are many financial implications and lifestyle factors you should consider when you're making the choice of whether to rent or buy. Learn more so you can make the best decision for you.

Some factors to consider when deciding:

Cost Factors:
You're not only responsible for your monthly mortgage payment when you're a homeowner. You have to pay for repairs, maintenance, taxes, homeowner's insurance, upgrades, and possibly condo fees. These additional costs can easily make owning a home more expensive than renting, and not all home-related costs build equity. Renters are generally responsible for only rent and utilities. The property owner is responsible for everything else.

Building Wealth:
You'll build equity in your home as you pay down your mortgage balance. Equity also increases as your home value goes up due to your local real estate market. Home equity adds to your net worth and can serve as collateral for a loan or line of credit if you need to borrow money in the future.

Responsibility for Repairs and Maintenance:
Owning a home is a major commitment. You're fully responsible for maintenance and upkeep as a homeowner, whether that means doing the work yourself or hiring a professional.

Flexibility To Make Changes:
Renting is a more flexible option if you think you might want to move in the future. You can move at the end of your lease, or you can break your lease and pay any fee that's called for in your rental agreement if your job changes or you want to relocate.

But renting generally means that you have to accept the space as is. You don't have much flexibility to make cosmetic changes to the premises. You have creative freedom over your living space as a homeowner. You can paint, redesign, or remodel the interior however you like without anyone's approval or consent.

How To Decide If You Should Rent or Buy 

Understanding how both renting and buying will impact you financially is a major part of making the decision. Comparing your local market rent to your estimated mortgage payment can give you an idea of which option is better for you.

Here are my top 10 tips for finding the perfect home:

1. Figure out what your ‘perfect home’ looks like. Write down on a piece of paper all of the things you must have in your new home, things that would be nice to have and things that don’t really matter.

2. Purchase a home that stays in budget.
Make sure to get pre-approved for a loan before going out to look at houses. It will make the buying process much easier and you will know which houses to look at.

3. Bigger isn’t always better.
While we all dream of having a huge mansion, it’s good to think about what will be best for your family. Figure out how many rooms you need to fit your family comfortably and look in that range.

4. Think about remodeling.
Many homes you will look at may not be in the best condition but think about the potential of the house. Would painting and new wood floors turn it into your dream house? How about a kitchen or bathroom remodel? There are many easy fix-ups such as adding new light fixtures and painting that can turn your house into the perfect home.

5. Location is important.
Check the surrounding area of the home. Drive around the 2 mile radius to see what is around your home. Make sure it is in an area you feel comfortable with. Find out what school district you’ll be in. Even if you don’t have kids, you may want to think about the school district you live in for resale. You may also want to take the commute to your work and see how long it will take you.

6. Do your research.
Research property values in the area. Stalk your neighborhood and find out what it’s like at all times of the day. Is it a family friendly neighborhood? You could even knock on the neighbors doors before buying. I have done that.

7. Do a home inspection.
The home inspector will look at everything in a home and give you a non-bias opinion. They will also tell you the true value of the home you are looking at. It’s better to spend a couple hundred dollars doing a home inspection then finding out the house had several problems.

8. Picture your family living in the house.
When you walk into the home, can you picture your family living there? Does it have a good feeling? Picture your family living in each room and see you how feel.

9. Leave room to grow.
Make sure your ‘perfect home’ has extra storage and gives you room to grow.

10. Don’t put your expectations too high.
Realize that most houses aren’t perfect to begin with. Even if you are building your dream home, there are always things that could have been different. Be flexible. Once you move in and add your own style it will soon become your dream home.
