Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live! Habitat for Humanity - Affordable Home Ownership
Q: Jen, what's happening with financing?
Fixed rates are rising due to bond yields and global inflation pressures, with a trade-off between fixed and variable rates; locking in can reduce payment uncertainty, while variable rates may offer lower initial costs but carry more risk.
Live! Habitat for Humanity - Affordable Home Ownership
Q: So how do you make that work in terms of keeping things affordable?
Habitat removes the down payment requirement, partners with a retail lender for a first mortgage up to 50% of the purchase price, and provides a 0% second mortgage with payments capped at 30% of the family's income, adjusting annually to maintain affordability.
Understanding Property Transfer Tax in Greater Victoria
Q: What should buyers, realtors, and mortgage brokers do before an offer is written to avoid surprises?
They should ensure that clients are informed of the property transfer tax and exemptions, and prepare any contracts accordingly to include necessary flexibility.
Understanding Property Transfer Tax in Greater Victoria
Q: What are some common mistakes first-time home buyers make regarding these exemptions?
Common mistakes include not understanding the residency requirements for exemptions, failing to consider the implications of adding foreign spouses, and not realizing the tax is always payable unless exemptions apply.
Understanding Property Transfer Tax in Greater Victoria
Q: Can you explain how property transfer tax is calculated and which price thresholds really matter?
Property transfer tax is triggered any time someone buys or acquires an interest in property, calculated as 1% on the first $200,000 and higher rates above that, with notable thresholds for exemptions for first-time home buyers and new homes.
