Arranging aMORTGAGE
Interest rates are very attractive and there is a wide choice ofhomes available to suit various budgets. Still, it’s most likely youwill have to deal with financing and this will mean taking on amortgage.
Sorting through the numerous mortgage options available totoday’s homebuyers can be intimidating, but professional helpis readily available. Your REALTOR® can offer you invaluable in-formation along with your financial institution’s mortgage spe-cialist and other advisors.
First, it’s necessary to know which kinds of institutions will lendyou money. Banks and trust companies lead the pack, butcredit unions, mortgage companies and private lenders alsooffer funds. There is also the option of consulting a mortgagebroker.
Different Mortgages
A number of different mortgage options are available. Undera conventional mortgage, lenders will loan you up to 80 percent of the appraised value or purchase price of the property(whichever is lower) to a maximum set by government regu-lation and you must come up with the remaining 20 per centyourself.
If you don’t have the 20 per cent down payment, a high-ratiomortgage may be available that could provide most of the re-quired funds. The proviso is that high-ratio mortgages must beinsured and the cost falls to you. Check with your lending insti-tution or mortgage broker to see whether you would be eligiblefor such a mortgage.
Variable-rate mortgages are usually offered for both conven-tional and high-ratio mortgages. If interest rates climb, you maybe paying more per month in interest; if rates drop, you may bepaying more off your principal. Fixed-rate mortgages, on theother hand, maintain the same rate of interest over the entirenegotiated term.
Other Terms
There are some other concepts to bear in mind.
Amortization refers to the time period in which the mortgage isassumed to be paid. A common amortization period is 25 years.This means interest and principal are set as if you were payingthe amount borrowed over a 25 year payment schedule. Obvi-ously, the shorter the amortization period, the less interest youwill pay.
Prepayment privileges are very important for borrowers to con-sider. These allow you to pay money against the principal, re-ducing the total amount of interest you will ultimately pay.
Buying or selling a home need not be a daunting task. Your RE-ALTOR® can provide you with invaluable information on financesand all other aspects of the buying and selling process.

What's curb appeal? It's that certainsomething about your home that catches theeye of the passer-by and makes them wantto take a closer look. If you're selling your
home, curb appeal can quickly draw prospective buyers in for the first time. Without it, buyers may pass upon the chance to see inside and will miss what might have been the perfect home for them.
Your REALTOR® can give you numerous tips and suggestions to help you make that first impression reallycount. Here are a few ideas.
Keep your lawns neatly trimmed and edged. Trim trees and shrubbery to get rid of overhanging branchesthat might obscure a potentially good view of your home, or pathway leading to the front door. Turn overthe soil in your flowerbeds. If there's little color in your front garden, make a splash with a display ofinexpensive annuals, flower boxes and wooden tubs. Clay and plastic posts can also be filled with flowersand small shrubs and displayed in the yard or by the front entrance to give the feel of a warm welcome.
Birdhouses and feeders, dried flower wreaths and hanging baskets on the front porch can give your homecountryside curb appeal. Keep your porch, driveway and front yard clutter free. Remove garbage bins assoon as possible after pick-up, and avoid any build-up of junk mail.
Repair or replace broken steps or walkways. You might be used to the uneven paving or rickety stairsoutside your home, but they could be hazardous to visitors, as well as unsightly. Your home's roof, chimneyand exterior should look sound and well-cared for. Freshly painted woodwork is often well worth the timeand money invested in it.
A good spruce-up can make a big difference
If painting is unnecessary, your home will still benefit from a good spruce-up. Wash down window framesand clean your windows to make them sparkle. Scrub the front door and polish the house numbers, letterbox,doorknob and knocker. Open blinds, curtains or shutters to give your home an inviting, welcoming look.
These are just a sample of some of the ways you can create curb appeal. Your REALTOR® can give youmany other, customized tips to make the most of your home's unique charm. In addition, your REALTOR®can offer an objective view of any repairs and improvements that might be necessary to enhance thelikelihood of selling your home.
Creating curb appeal may just be the feature that sets your home apart from the rest.

BUYING a HOMEAre you in the market for a home? Ifso, do you see yourself in a cozy char-acter home with ornate fireplaces, ordoes the image of a brand new homewith today’s state-of-the-art technologyappeal? Either way, you will find thatthe rewards of buying your own homeare many. The security, comfort andpeace of mind you get from homeownership, regardless of your prefer-ence for old or new, are well worth theinvestment.
Attractive mortgage rates, governmentincentive programs and a wide selec-tion of housing options availablethrough the Multiple Listing Service(MLS®) make this a good time to buy.
Look And Compare
As you start your search for a home, itis a good idea to enlist the services ofa REALTOR. REALTORS have accessto the MLS system and can help nar-row the search by providing you with alist of available properties in the pricerange and location that suits you.
Your selection, to a large extent, will be determined by yourlifestyle and in most cases becomes a matter of compromise.For instance, you may find an older home that needs somerenovation work, but this may not necessarily fit into yourbudget plans or your hectic schedule if you plan to do a lot ofthe work yourself. On the other hand, you may find a newhome attractive but would have to spend extra money onlandscaping and installing some of the amenities that may bea part of the package in an older home.
Advantages Of An Older Home
With an older home, you can see exactly what you are get-ting — structural faults are generally easier to see and canbe or have been corrected. The character of the neigh-bourhood is established and a variety of local services isusually available. In addition, the landscaping around thehome has already been completed. There are generallyfewer move-in costs because basic features like drapery
tracks are already installed. Chattels —such as special lighting fixtures —areoften included in the sale of an olderhome.
Advantages Of A New Home
A brand new home also has advan-tages. You have much more flexibilitywith a new home in customizing yourdecor and landscaping to suit yourtastes. You get fresh, unblemishedwalls and you can usually choose thetype of flooring, carpeting and cup-boards that you want. You usually getmuch more storage space (such asclosets) and larger rooms. In addition,today’s minimum standards for plumb-ing, electrical, insulation and heatingsystems are higher than ever before.
Regardless of what type of home youchoose, be sure to discuss your prefer-ences with your REALTOR. With an in-depth knowledge of the local housing
market, your REALTOR can help you find the home thatbest suits you and your family. Your REALTOR can alsooffer invaluable guidance and advice throughout the homebuying process.
