Mortgage rates have been a bit volatile these last few weeks.

And while it may feel a little nerve-wrecking if you’re planning to buy, that volatility is actually normal when there’s economic uncertainty or global events impacting the market.

It doesn't mean you can’t buy right now. It just means we’re in a moment where rates may bounce around a bit more. And you can’t control that.

But you can set yourself up to get the best rate possible when you buy.

My advice? Focus on what you can control, like your credit score, loan type, and loan term.

All three of those impact what rate you’ll ultimately be able to get.

So, talk to a lender you trust about your options and what you can do.

If you want to buy, we can still make this happen.

If you're thinking about investing in property, it's important to know that not just any house will do.

Some factors you should consider when purchasing a home are the location (near schools, public transit, shops), size (big enough for your family, but not too big), and style.

Once you've found a good place to buy, there are some steps you can take to improve the space and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

You can update the kitchen and bathrooms with new fixtures, paint walls or floors, and add new rugs or furniture. Being strategic about what renovations you make can help get your house sold for a higher price!

Before you think of it as a cash cow, It’s important to look at it as a home that can accommodate a family; this is where memories are made and memories are shared. Families should look for a property with room to grow, such as a basement or attic that can be used as an office or spare bedroom.

Remember - Homes sell more than houses.

Investors who have properties that they do not need for their own use may want to rent them out to offset the cost of owning them.

In some cases, you might even be able to double your income by renting out an extra room or even your garage or driveway spaces. This is usually done through websites like Airbnb or Renters Warehouse and these sites will walk you through the steps of getting started.

Timing is Everything!

The market is moving incredibly fast and if you’re a home buyer right now, you need to be ready to move. 🤑

That means:
- Making sure you’ve clearly outlined your must-haves and must-have-nots so you can focus your search (and make sure you’re on the same page as your spouse)
- Researching your target neighborhoods and schools
- Having your financing in order and working with a lender who can give you the confidence to make an offer without a financing condition.
- Having quick access to a deposit (usually 5% of the purchase price, delivered with the offer or within 24 hours). If your deposit isn’t liquid, talk to your lender about other options.
Being flexible with when you see properties vs waiting for the weekend
- Being ready to make a quick decision

A fast-moving market doesn’t mean you don’t get to do normal due diligence – it just means you have to do a lot of it in advance. It also means you should be prepared to be decisive.

Offers: If You’re In It, Be In It To Win It 🔑

When there are too many buyers chasing too few houses or condos, bidding wars result; and when the imbalance is as great as what we’re seeing right now, those bidding wars can be fierce.

If you can’t REALLY compete, don’t make an offer. You’re hurting yourself in the long run. If you CAN compete, be in it to win it.
Work with a local agent who understands the market conditions and can guide you accordingly. Knowing what you can’t afford is just as important as knowing what you can afford.
