When looking for a home in a shifting interest rate environment, you need to make sure that you get a good rate.
An independent mortgage broker is the best starting point – he or she will discuss your borrowing needs, introduce you to your best financing options, and get you a very competitive interest rate.
A broker can also obtain a mortgage pre-approval for you that includes a rate hold of up to 120 days. If fixed mortgage rates rise during your rate hold period, you’ll be protected (and if they fall, you’ll have access to the lower rate).
With a rate hold you’ll have peace of mind about your mortgage rate while you look for the home that suits you best. A pre-approval also means you’ll know how much you can afford to spend on the home.

Sales are up across the board this week and inventory is slowly dwindling. The market is nearly balanced if you look at the sales vs. inventory, and activity over the past couple weeks. Is this the end of the drop in home prices in Calgary and the conclusion to the Calgary real estate crash that so many talked about? Has the bubble burst and a new one begun? I think a couple more months of stable sales numbers will tell the tail. Let me know your thoughts.

Nearly 90 per cent of recent home purchasers across Calgary and Canada believe that home ownership is a good long-term investment and that almost 70 per cent think that now is a good time to purchase a home in their community. That’s according to the 2009 Mortgage Consumer Survey by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).
The survey results also indicate that recent purchasers are knowledgeable about the mortgage process and their lender’s assessment of eligibility. For example, 86 per cent are of the view that the level of total housing and other monthly payments should generally not exceed 40 per cent of gross household income, which is in line with generally accepted mortgage lending practices.
The survey shows that recent purchasers are prudent mortgage managers. According to the survey, 75 per cent of purchasers have a goal to be mortgage free sooner than their original amortization. In fact, 20 per cent of recent purchasers report having made a lump sum payment to their mortgage.
Similar to CMHC’s last Mortgage Consumer Survey, the 2009 survey also indicates that Canadians continue to be well served by the mortgage industry, with 77 per cent of recent mortgage purchasers expressing satisfaction with the service received from their lender or broker.
