Current rates for variable 5 yr mortgages start at 2.2% with 5 yr fixed mortgages at 3.94%. We do expect rates to start rising by this Summer, or sooner if inflation picks up.

Eight Tips to Help You Buy a Better Home - Tip #3

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Leong & Roozendaal (Re/Max Camosun)

Tip #3 - Always have the home inspected before you buy.

Buying a home is a major financial decision that is often made after having spent very little time on the property itself. A home inspection performed by a competent and licensed inspector will help you enter the negotiation process with eyes wide open, offering you added reassurance that the choice you are making is a sound one, or alerting you to underlying problems that could cost you significant money in both the short and long-run. Your Realtor can suggest reputable home inspection companies for you to consider and will ensure the appropriate clause is entered into your contract. Whether you are buying a single family home, or a condo, an inspection will give you peace of mind, and help protect your investment.

Look for Tip #4 next week!
