Mortgage Interest Rate Outlook for Canada

Hi everyone:

I just came across an excellent resource for mortgage rate, interest rate, insurance rate and credit card rate information.  Check out the blog at ratesupermarket.ca

This site features input by some very impressive contributors.  While NO ONE can predict interest rates with 100% accuracy, being able to draw on the experience of some of the countries top mortgage experts gives ratesupermarket a nice advantage in this effort.

The site blog includes categories such as Mortgage Tips, Housing Market, Real Estate and dozens of others.

This month’s Mortgage Rate Outlook predicts that fixed rates are expected to remain the same, ‘with downward bias’,  and variable rates are also expected to remain the same.

This continues to be an excellent time to purchase a house or condo in Winnipeg.  Inventory levels are up slightly, and due to summer vacations, buyer activity is down a little, meaning that your chances of finding and actually getting a house are increased.

If you’re looking to purchase a home (house or condo) in Winnipeg, please call me anytime.  Bo 204-333-2202

Selecting the right Listing Agent in Winnipeg

by Bo on August 28, 2010

When selling your house or condo in Winnipeg, you have about 1400 real estate agents to choose from. While it is a very good thing to have a ‘Choice’, the homeowner should take a close look at the only thing that separates and differentiates the agents from one another: Their Marketing Plan. What does the agent DO to advertise and market your property?

All REASLTORS® in and around Winnipeg use the MLS®. A very powerful tool to help sell your Winnipeg house or condo! But since ALL agents use it, this tool alone does not help differentiate between the agents. So the home seller should ask “What ELSE do you do to sell my house?”

Select a REALTOR® for the marketing plan he or she presents.

If you’re getting ready to sell your Winnipeg house or condo, please call me anytime for a free Market Evaluation and presentation of my Marketing Plan.
