Getting ready to apply for a mortgage? Here’s a little head start. 🏡

Depending on your situation, your lender may ask for things like:

• Recent pay stubs and employment details
• T4s or Notices of Assessment
• Bank statements and proof of your down payment
• Information about any existing debts
• Government-issued ID

Every application is a little different, so you may not need everything on this list. Your mortgage broker can help you understand what’s needed and get your documents organized before they go to the lender.

Thinking about buying soon? Getting prepared early can make the process feel a whole lot less overwhelming. 💙

Make it make sense. 🫠

Okay, but why does this happen?

Rent and mortgage payments are assessed differently. When you apply for a mortgage, lenders look at your income, existing debts, credit history, down payment and other housing costs. They are trying to ensure you can pay something for the next 25 years whereas a landlord is concerned with this month’s rent.

But here’s where working with a mortgage broker can make a difference.

A bank can only offer you its own mortgage products, while a broker can explore options from multiple lenders to find a mortgage that fits your circumstances.

So if you’ve been renting for years and are wondering whether buying could be within reach, don’t just assume you won’t qualify.

Let’s look at your options! 🏡

The people buying homes this spring? A lot of them started preparing last fall. 🏡🍂

Following the market, having a conversation with a mortgage broker, getting pre-approved and building your savings might not feel like huge steps, but they all help you feel more prepared when it’s time to buy.

It’s not about having everything figured out months in advance. It’s about paying attention, asking questions and giving yourself time to get ready.

If buying a home next spring is on your mind, this is a great time to start. Reach out and let’s see where you’re at! 💙

The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25%, so why are we still seeing mortgage rates move? 😅

It comes down to the fact that fixed and variable mortgage rates don’t respond to the Bank of Canada’s decisions in exactly the same way.

We break down the difference between the Bank of Canada’s rate, prime, variable mortgages, bond yields and fixed mortgage rates in our latest blog to help you make sense of it all (and actually understand what you’re reading) 🤝.
