How High Can They Go?

 Today’s Announcement by the Bank of Canada will do nothing to keep the rising prices at bay.

GTA Home SalesHome Sellers in Toronto aren’t complaining about the ongoing increase in prices in the GTA according to The Globe and Mail, as a matter of fact prices are up 115 over the same time last year. The fact is its tougher for Home Buyers with homes being so much less affordable. TREB also notes that the volume of home sales have increased over last year with the GTA Condo Market continuing to demonstrate strong sales. Low interest rates are likely the thing prompting buyers to take part in such a high priced marketplace. With recent reports indicating that a soft economy will cause the Bank of Canada to hold rates until well into 2015 we will have to see if the prices will continue their climb.

Whitby Ontario, A Great Place To Live

 Are you Moving to Whitby?

Whitby (now the Town of Whitby) was named after the seaport town of Whitby, in Yorkshire England. In addition to Whitby, Yorkshire, the Town of Whitby is also officially twinned with Longueuil Quebec and Feldkirch, Austria.

Whitby, Ontario

When the township was originally surveyed in 1792, the surveyor, from the northern part of England, named the townships east of Toronto after towns in northeastern England: York, Scarborough, Pickering, Whitby and Darlington. The original name of “Whitby” is Danish dating from about 867 CE when the Danes invaded Britain. It is a contraction of “Whitteby,” meaning “White Village.” The allusion may be to the white lighthouse on the pier at Whitby, Yorkshire, and also at Whitby, Ontario.’ Although settlement dates back to 1800, it was not until 1836 that a downtown business center was established by Whitby’s founder Peter Perry.

Whitby’s chief asset was its fine natural harbor on Lake Ontario, from which grain from the farmland to the north was first shipped in 1833. In the 1840s a road was built from Whitby Harbor to Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay to bring trade and settlement through the harbor to and from the rich hinterland to the north.

Whitby is also the site of Trafalgar Castle School,  a private girls’ school founded in 1874. The building, constructed as an Elizabethan-style castle in 1859–62 as a private residence for the Sheriff of Ontario County, is a significant architectural landmark and Whitby’s only provincial historic site marked with a plaque. The school celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1999.

Situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Whitby is the fastest growing municipality in the Region of Durham. This progressive community of 92,000 offers residents a lifestyle characterized by a small town atmosphere in conjunction with the amenities of a large urban center.  The Town of Whitby maintains a strong and diverse industrial base that covers a wide range of industries such as plastics, packaging, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications.

Self-Employed Will Suffer!

Expect Further Tightening of Guidelines For The Self-Employed.

Self-Employed

Self Employed lending has always created a balancing act for the borrower. While trying to save on income taxes, deductions that decrease taxable income can now stand in the way of a mortgage approval.Our industry expects to see further tightening in this area in the months to come.

It is expected that all three Insurers in Canada, CMHC, Genworth and Canada Guaranty  will further restrict the lending capacity of lenders such as credit unions and specialty lenders. This may force more Self-employed individuals to seek out other options.

What can you do if you are Self-Employed?

Mortgage Brokers have always provided borrowers with the widest number of lenders and the lowest rates.  Here at Mortgage Intelligence we have relationships with over 50 National and Private sources for mortgages. We can be your best asset when you require a mortgage.

Experience counts as well. For over 14 years our office has been a primary source of approvals for those that are Self-Employed. Why not make the choice and let us help.

This is a good time for you to get some advice if there is a possibility that you will need a mortgage in the foreseeable future.  You may be able to take advantage of the current situation before things change again.  Contact us by using the form below or Apply online now.
