How to Determine the Best Mortgage Term Choosing the mortgage term that is right for you can be a challenging proposition for even the savviest of home buyers. By understanding mortgage terms and what they mean in both dollars and ‘sense’, you can save the most money and choose the term that is right for you.
for instance ten years, so that you can ensure that you will be able to afford your mortgage payments, should the interest rates increase. Alternatively, 2/3 of homeowners will break their mortgage by the 33rd month of their term (just shy of 3 years). Homeowners may refinance to do a renovation, renew earlier into a lower rate or buy a new home – downsize or up-size. In this case, a shorter term or a variable rate product might be the best solution to examine due to high penalty costs.
The first consideration when comparing various mortgage terms is to understand that a longer term generally means a higher corresponding interest rate, while a shorter term generally means a lower corresponding interest rate. Though this generalization might lead you to believe that a shorter term Choosing the right mortgage term is is always the preferred option, this is a unique decision for each individunot always the case. al.

HOME DÉCOR
CREATING THE PERFECT OUTDOOR
Kitchen
The kitchen continues to be one of the best ways to increase a home’s value, but I don’t mean kitchens in their traditional form. A real estate analysis revealed that homes with outdoor kitchens sold for 25% more than expected (source: Zillow, 2017). As modern homes get smaller in square footage, homeowners are increasingly focusing their
14
attentions on the outdoors to make the most of every inch of their living space - inside and out. Recently, the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) uncovered what’s trending in outdoor kitchen design. Here are some top trends, and how to achieve them.
PROFESSIONAL HELP
GET BACK TO NATURE
The NKBA report reveals that the vast majority of homeowners (84%) use professional installers for at least part of their outdoor kitchen installation. 64% of homeowners used a designer, 41% used a landscape or garden architect/specialist, while 10% used an architect. Take a cue, and consider working with an expert from the get-go. A kitchen addition involves many moving parts. Add the outdoor element to an already complicated renovation and you can be sure that there will be lots to think about, from functionality and durability to style.
Organic materials are great for outdoor applications, blurring the line between man and nature. But does stone weigh heavily on your mind and budget? Stone veneer is a more economical solution with the same earthy edge; a great finishing option for feature walls, fireplaces and water features. ERTH Coverings offers a variety of stone veneer styles at a range of price points. Did you know? When it comes to outdoor countertops, 57% of homeowners choose stone (source: NKBA).
Designer Find: A company that specializes in kitchens is worth its weight in gold. Pure Kitchens Inc., based in the Greater Toronto Area, has the knowledge and experience to master any kitchen design, indoors or out, specializing in custom options. Once you have a professional and a plan, now comes the fun part - choosing your features and finishes. Here are some of my design favourites.
STOR AGE RULES Cabinets and storage are key to a well-functioning kitchen, indoors or out. In fact, most outdoor kitchens incorporate built-in storage or cabinets today. Along with countertops, cabinets are what take your space from “barbecue area” to bona fide “outdoor Kitchen,” whether your outdoors are a balcony, a backyard deck or overlooking the lake. ▹
15
HOME DÉCOR
TOOLS & TOYS The modern outdoor kitchen is more than the barbecue and folding chairs that inspired it. Much like their indoor counterparts, outdoor chefs are all about their appliances. Most outdoor kitchens feature grills with extra burners, more often now seeing warming racks, and rotisserie. Beyond the barbecue, consider adding a pizza oven or a meat smoker. If these little extras have your mouth watering, fear not as this particular trend also covers liquid refreshments. Adding now into outdoor kitchens are weather proof refrigerators, wine refrigerator, and ice maker, and a beer tap/dispenser. The only thing better in a home than a really fabulous kitchen, is two really fabulous kitchens! And if you have the luxury of a place with some workable outdoor space, consider enhancing your home - and your life - with an alfresco culinary centre. You could well find yourself indulging in the summer-time staple of fresh air the sweet smoke of the grill on a frosty February day. â—†
