Truly happy for the newest members of our Connexus Client Family. What prompted their move was a desire to be in Lakefront Ajax, close to the water and the trails and tons of little kids to play with their adorable three year old daughter. After buying firm the pressure was on to sell their beautiful custom upgraded detached house in Hermitage Park / Pickering Village. Happy to say... we sold for a record high. Unreal to expect this price... but congratulations to our sellers. We staged, marketed, promoted and negotiated... $66,000 over asking price and $100,000 more then anything else on the street. Thinking of selling? Think Connexus Group... We'd be happy to talk about how to get the best for your home! #theconnexusadvantage #weknowdurham #weknowtoronto #weknowajax #pickeringvillage #LakesideAjax #homestaging #remax #remaxhallmark #ravisinghremax #eastGTAliving #Ajaxrealestate

The Impact of 10% Down…

“The down payment rate was bound to change and that time is upon us. The days of 5% on a $1,000,000 home are behind us. Let’s face it, we were running at high-risks with the old rates. The new down payment structure allows for more security for both buyers and sellers. Buyers won’t feel overwhelmed with their mortgages and sellers will feel more secure in solidifying the deal. Not just that, but on the macro level, the market is further protected. The government of Canada wants Canadians to have equity in their homes and we couldn’t agree more.

So what does this mean to you? Let’s break it down.

Any home with a purchase price of $500,000k or below can give a minimum of 5% for down payment.

A home between $500,001 - $1,000,000 will pay 10% down on the amount over $500,000.

The new rule doesn’t affect properties over $1 million because they don’t qualify for high-ratio mortgage insurance. They will need a 20% down payment to qualify for a traditional mortgage.

These infographics simplify the change… see above.

The new rate is Effective February 15th, 2016.

What does this mean? If you’re a seller… its time to get cracking! If you’re a buyer, its time to get cracking!

For all things real estate…. we are here to help!
