When the cool weather of fall starts to kick in, you may find yourself wanting to stick around the house more often. That means it’s the perfect time to start thinking about doing a bit of seasonal home maintenance. While you probably won’t have a large to-do list in a brand-new home, it’s always smart to take care of what you have to prevent problems down the line.
Canadians who have been struggling to get the money together to purchase their first home are excited about the new first-time homebuyers incentive plan that launches this September. Through it, the government is providing interest-free loans to qualifying Canadians. This additional money goes toward the down payment, resulting in smaller monthly payments and less interest paid over the lifetime of the loan. In some cases, the effects are dramatic.
With Broadview’s move-in ready homes, your family will be able to own a brand-new home with a timeline that’s comparable to buying a resale home. That’s a big convenience for busy families who want a new home but don’t have the time to wait and don’t want to pay two mortgages at the same time.
The kids are excited for the summer, and you’re excited to spend some time doing fun things with them. Unfortunately, it’s easy to fall into a trap where you just stick around home in the comfortable air conditioning simply because you don’t have anything in particular planned, and you don’t want to brave the heat outside. Don’t make this mistake. Create a family summer bucket list so you’ll always have some things to do.
You’ve probably heard that it’s best to be completely debt-free before you buy a home. Sometimes, though, it feels like if you wait for that to happen, you’ll never be able to afford a down payment.
