One of the questions I get asked most often from first time home buyers is, "What kind of mortgage can I get?"

This is an important question. The kind of mortgage you qualify for will determine which properties on the market you'll be able to consider, as well as how much you need to budget for mortgage payments.

Please call or email and I'll help you answer that question. That way, when you're ready to look at some homes on the market (or renew your current mortgage), you'll be able to do so with confidence.

Men VS. Women. What considerations reign supreme when couples try to find a property?

Coldwell Banker recently released a new survey on the differences between men and women when it comes to trying to find a property.

Over half of the women say that they take the lead when it comes to decor... Many purchasers feel that they rely on their feelings and their lifestyle needs when they are looking at listings of houses for sale. Couples find it easier to make financial decisions together as they get older...

If you're interested in learning more about how men and women compare when it comes to real estate, you can read the full survey results here or watch this new video!

Whether it's the time of year or world events... gas prices seem to be on the rise again.

Here is a website that claims to predict tomorrow's gas price today... a great idea if it works! They have quite a bit of detail on the "Tomorrow's Gas Price Today" website describing their calculations. They also have a lot of information about gas pricing and how it works in Canada.

Here is the website: TomorrowsGasPriceToday.com/gas-prices.html

Below is a "widget" from the TomorrowsGasPriceToday.com website with their prediction for tomorrow's gas prices in the City of Waterloo.
