Fixed versus variable mortgages - which option is better? Do you end up paying a lot more with one over the other? The constant battle continues to rage on, which requires homeowners to really crunch the numbers and take a deep look at their particular financial situation so they can make the right decision that suits their long-term monetary needs. Many economists have predicted that we will see a slow but steady decrease in interest rates throughout the year. This means that viable rate mortgages might become the norm again, after fixed mortgages became the popular choice during the shaky fiscal times during and after the pandemic. The conversation may be an uncomfortable one, but it is one that needs to be had before taking on any type of mortgage. #fixedvsvariable #whatmortgagetypeisbest #mortgagequestions #ancaster #dundas #hamilton #stoneycreek #burlington #binbrook

🏠 Curious about the General Election's impact on mortgage rates? Here’s a snapshot: As we near the election, expect some market volatility influencing rates, though the government doesn't directly control them. Recent data shows minor fluctuations in two-year fixed deal swap rates, while major lenders have kept average fixed rates steady. John Fraser-Tucker from Mojo advises not to wait if your mortgage is up soon, with rates still above 8% for standard variable and 5.1% for fixed. The housing market may see brief slowdowns in transactions, but regional trends vary. Keep an eye on rate movements post-election for housing market insights! ⭐️ #UKProperty #GeneralElection #newhome #estateagent #lettings #property #propertymanagement #sellingyourhome #buyingahome #rentalproperty #rentalproperties #landlord #tenant #forsale #movinghouse #movinghome #portishead

Should I Move with Today’s Mortgage Rates? When mortgage rates spiked up over the last few years, many homeowners put their plans to move on pause. Maybe you did too because you didn’t want to sell and take on a higher mortgage rate for your next home. But is that still the right strategy for you? In today’s market, data shows more homeowners are getting used to where rates are and thinking it may be time to move. What Would Motivate You To Move? Now that you know why other people would move, take a minute to think about what would make a move worth it for you. Is it time to take a chance and go for your dream job, even though it’s not local? Are you looking for a neighborhood that has more to offer and a close-knit sense of community? Maybe you just need more space, you’re looking for your next great adventure, or you want a house that opens up rental opportunities to pad your income. And here’s something else to consider. Mortgage rates are still expected to go down over the course of the year. And once that happens, there’s going to be a big rush of buyers jumping back into the market. While you could delay your plans until rates drop, you’ll only have more competition with those buyers if you do. So, does that mean it’s worth it to move now, even with rates where they are? The answer is: that it depends. You'll want to consider today’s mortgage rates, where they’re expected to go from here, and what would prompt you to want to make a change as you decide on your next steps. An expert can help with that. Other homeowners are getting used to rates and deciding to move. DM me to go over what matters most to you and if it’s time for you to jump back into the market too. #ExpertAnswers #StayInformed #LuxuryRealEstate #VirginiaRealEstate
