The Real Estate and Mortgage Show - March 9
Steve, Frank and Paul discuss investment properties, mortgage rates, and surprising rumours that property values are set to decrease by 20%.
This week on the Real Estate and Mortgage Show, Steve, Frank and Paul discuss today's relevant mortgage and real estate issues.
Among the topics this week are reports that property values are set to decrease by 20%. Despite the housing market moving back into balanced territory, several economists are still forecasting a housing crash similar to what happened in the U.S. Frank reminds listeners that these reports are largely based on opinion, and statistics that do not necessarily apply to the Canadian market.
With spring right around the corner, the Ottawa real estate market is picking up, and Paul takes some time to advise those who are planning on selling to put in that extra effort to make the property look desireable. The spring thaw can tend to have the opposite effect on curb appeal, so sellers have to remember to go that extra mile to bring their property up to show-quality.
Other topics this week include mortgage rates, investment properties and finding a good financial planner. Click here to listen to the full Podcast.
