MOVING CHECKLIST Get Organized with this Handy Moving Checklist! Organization is the key to a successful move! Use this helpful checklist to get things done at the right time. Start early and refer to this list often!
6 - 8 Weeks Before Move ■
If you’re using a moving company, check to make sure your move is scheduled.
■
Make a list of items you want to take with you and what you want to toss. Consider donating unwanted items to charity or hold a garage sales.
■
If you’re doing your own packing, gather supplies you need (boxes, tape, markers).
■
Develop a floor plan of your new home’s layout, noting where each item will go. This will help reduce the stress of making decisions later.
■
Get to know your new community. The local Chamber of Commerce can provide information on schools, community programs, parks & recreation facilities.
■
Finalize all real estate or rental needs.
■
Contact your insurance agent to transfer medical, property, fire & auto insurance.
■
Put all medical / dental records in a safe and accessible place. Be sure to include prescription and vaccination records.
■
Notify schools in the old and new locations and arrange to transfer school records. Start the process of registering in new schools.

1 Week Before Move ■
Make sure you haven’t overlooked anything in the house. Check, double-check, and re-check!
■
Empty, defrost, and clean your refrigerator, freezer, and your stove at least 24 hours before moving to let them air out.
■
Pick up any dry cleaning or laundry and pay any outstanding bills you may have with local businesses.
■
Return videos, library books and anything you borrowed from the neighbors.
■
Gather keys, alarm codes, and garage door openers to hand them over to the new owners or realtor.
Moving Day! Hand over keys, alarm codes, and garage door remote controls to the new owner or realtor.
■
Clean your house as much as you can before your moving crew arrives. Search every room and closet before the movers arrive to be sure you haven’t forgotten anything.
■
Keep your floor plan on hand as a reference, for both you and the movers.
■
Find a safe, quiet place for pets so they aren’t in the way of the moving crew.
■
Verify that all utilities have been disconnected in your old home and connected in your new home. Have your phone connected a day before move-in day. bclo

Obviously, affordability will play a major part in your decision making process. You want to be able to buy something you like, but you don’t want to feel stretched to the limit when it comes to meeting your financial obligations. Once you discover exactly what you can afford, you can be more realistic in your expectations. If you’re like most people, you lack the funds to make a purchase without seeking substantial help from a lending institution. In addition to coming up with a down payment, you’ll have to arrange a mortgage.
Free Market Evaluation

Few people can buy a home for cash. Most of us have a difficult enough time saving the If you’re thinking about buying a home, a question that will undoubtedly weigh heavily on your mind is: “How much can I afford?”

WIN A MARKET EVALUATION OF YOUR HOME! Correctly identify Dan Jack and call 250-954-7111 to win
Basically, there are two types of costs involved in buying a home: The amount of money you’ll need for the initial purchase -- consisting of the down payment plus additional costs such as legal fees, inspection fees and taxes; and The ongoing costs of paying back your mortgage, along with monthly operating costs for utilities, maintenance, insurance and annual property taxes.
1
Lenders use several factors in judging your ability to handle a mortgage, including your income, employment record and credit worthiness. However, one way you can estimate the price range you can afford is to look at the amount of money you have available for a down payment.
MULTIPLY BY FOUR
3
Seriously folks, I will come and evaluate your home for no cost, no obligation and no pressure. WHITECAP REALTY LTD. 135 ALBERNI HWY., PARKSVILLE
The most common type of mortgage is a “conventional mortgage.” Under this type of mortgage, lenders will loan up to 75 percent of the appraised value of the property or purchase price, whichever is lower. The remaining 25 percent or more is the amount you will contribute as a down payment. So, if you plan to buy a home that has an appraised value of $100,000, a lender may loan you 75 per cent or $75,000 on a conventional mortgage when you contribute a down payment of $25,000.
2
SHOPPING FOR A REALTOR?
Call kevin clayton
If you plan to borrow funds through a conventional mortgage, simply multiply your down payment funds by four, to get an idea of the highest priced home you could buy. Then you will have to determine whether you have sufficient income to make the payments on your mortgage. Most lenders won’t let you take on debt that you can’t service. That’s why they’ll “qualify” you first, before agreeing to give you a mortgage. HIGH-RATIO MORTGAGE
314 E.Island Hwy. Parksville • 248-8371
If you don’t have a 25 per cent down payment, you may want to investigate a high-ratio mortgage.
1191 Roberton Blvd, French Creek
40 Jamieson Road, Bowser
This type of mortgage is available for up to 95 per cent of a home’s appraised value or purchase price, whichever is lower, up to a maximum amount set by the government. Since you are borrowing more than 75 per cent, the government insists that the mortgage be insured against default and that you pay the cost of the insurance. That cost can range from one to three per cent of the mortgage amount, and is added to the mortgage principal. LENDERS’ CONSIDERATIONS To determine your eligibility, lenders will look at your monthly housing expenses. These include such items as mortgage payments, property taxes, and utility costs. These shouldn’t exceed approximately 30 percent of your monthly gross family income. This is called your “Gross Debt Service” ratio or GDS. (Some lenders will, in fact, go as high as 35 per cent, depending on a number of variables.)
$429,900 • Incredible ocean and island views • Beautifully landscaped gardens on 1/2 acre • 2200 sq ft home • Well maintained MLS#292127
Once they’ve determined the amount of your monthly income available for mortgage payments, they’ll calculate the mortgage amount you can have. This is based on current interest rates charged by lenders.

Lenders also use a second calculation in qualifying you for a mortgage. It’s called the “Total Debt Service” ratio or TDS. Generally speaking, no more than 40 percent of your gross family income may be used to cover mortgage payments, property taxes, utility costs, plus other fixed monthly payments. These other fixed costs are your ongoing commitments and can include auto, student or personal loans as well as charge accounts. Lenders will look at both your GDS and TDS amounts in calculating the size of the loan they will grant you for the home you wish to purchase.

TRY LIVING ON YOUR NEW BUDGET FIRST Once you’ve calculated these factors, it’s a good idea to try living for a couple of months as if you were paying a mortgage, along with your other living expenses, to see just how well you manage. After all, it may be feasible on paper, but you may not be comfortable with this amount of your income being allocated towards a mortgage. Better to find out now, before you actually make a purchase. You may readjust your spending habits in other areas for a while. However, if you’re comfortable with this test run, then it’s time to start looking for your new home.
