There seems to be some confusion on how the changes in the lending rules will affect them.  For most people it really won't change much.  When qualifying for a mortgage buyers will have to qualify for the higher 5 year rate, even though they may choose to go with a lower rate for a shorter term.   It will affect investors in that they will have to put more money down. The minimum down payment will be 20% with a CMHC premium of 2.5%.  Investors would be wise to save an extra 5% so they can save the 2.5% premium on the entire loan.  All income qualification will be based on a 25 year amortization as it was previously.   You will no longer be able to refinance your home up to 95% of its value.   The top amount will be 90% of the value of the home.  Home buyers purchasing a home that they w... 03/21/2010

We represented the buyers of 1024 West Chestermere Drive.   This was a stunning lakefront home with an absolutely great location and lot.    We actually met with these buyers late in the summer of 2009.  We have been keeping them up-to-date on the market activity on the lake since then.  We had viewed all of the listings on the lake, so that when the right one came up they knew it right away!
