Our Personal Journey with the 519 Community Centre in Toronto
The 519 is a special organization in our hearts that brought our family together. They helped us out 15 years ago when I met Ewan and they assisted me in sponsoring him to become Canadian. Then 11 years later through the Dada’s and Papa’s class the 519 provided us with the resources for us to bring our beautiful daughter Jasmine into our lives.
New Land Transfer Tax Rebate and Update on Mortgage Rates
We have some good news and bad news for first time home buyers. On the positive note the provincial government has increased the land transfer tax rebate to first time home buyers to $4,000. This will be implemented on January 1, 2017 and will help significantly for your closing costs.
On the negative side with bond yields going up after Donald Trump was elected President, mortgage rates are now on the rise. Major banks like RBC and TD have already raised interest rates on their fixed term rates. Please contact one of our mortgage advisors to lock in rates before they go up higher!
As your real estate sales representative and former accountant I can assist you with any of your financial and real estate questions including creating a budget, RRSP Home Buyer’s Plan, Listing presentation, CMA, Buyer/Listing
