The term of the day is Bridge Loan. What exactly is a bridge loan? Let’s delve into the benefits of a bridge loan. It’s a short-term financial solution that’s particularly useful when you’re in a situation where you need the proceeds of the sale of your original home to pay for the down payment of your new home, but your possession date on your new home is before your original house sells. In this scenario, the bridge loan steps in to cover the down payment until your house sells, providing a seamless transition. Not every lender provides a bridge loan, so if you get a mortgage through one, you may have to find a bridge loan with a completely different lender. I have the experience to arrange the proper mortgage ahead of time, saving you the hassle of finding multiple lenders. If you or anyone you know needs mortgage advice, please feel free to contact me today.

Would you choose a variable rate? First, a variable rate mortgage is when the interest rate can increase or decrease depending on the prime rate, which is determined by the Bank of Canada. *Right now, the variable rates are the lowest rates offered in the market. *They also offer you a potentially a higher buying power! - This is because fixed rates have increased recently to the point where lenders are qualifying using the stress test calculation of contract rate + 2%. This is the greater of the typical base qualifying rate of 5.25% we have been using. **** We only use 5.25% on a variable rate, thus the potential greater buying power. This may be an excellent option to get you into your dream home, but only if you are comfortable with the fluctuating payments. To see if a variable rate may be the right fit for you, contact me today. Call: 780-914-2620 Email: Raeann@MortgageEngineer.ca #stalbertmortgages #mortgagerates #mortgagetips #variablemortgage
