WORRIED ABOUT RISING INTEREST RATES? WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT?

With inflation now running at a level not seen since the 1980’s, it is widely expected that interest rates are going to go up in 2022. In fact, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the Bank of Canada have all stated that we should expect borrowing rates to go up this year. By how much is not known, but many analysts are predicting gradual increases adding up to at least a 1% increase in rates.

Many Canadians took advantage of the extremely low rates in the last couple of years to enter the housing market, or to upsize to a larger home, or to undertake those key renovations, or possibly to accelerate the repayment of the principal on their mortgages.

We asked our mortgage expert Jason Woods, Principal Broker/Owner at Dominion Lending Centres – TLC Mortgage Group, for his advice on some of the key questions homeowners are asking.

1. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR SOME VARIABLE RATE CLIENTS TO CONSIDER CHANGING TO A FIXED RATE NOW? Jason: Piece of mind is probably the main reason why people may want to consider changing to a fixed rate. But they should call their mortgage broker or advisor first as the large variance between the two may not be worth it. If they are going to make a change, it may also be a good time to refinance if they foresee a need for additional funds in the near future, for children’s education, debt consolidation, renovations, etc.

Fixed rate mortgages are a good choice for clients who expect that interest rates will continue to increase and they prefer the stability of locking in an interest rate now.

Variable rate mortgages are a good choice for clients who are confident that interest rates will not rise to the point where they will be unable to afford their mortgage payments, and who understand that over the long term, variable rates are usually lower than fixed rates, and they prefer to save on the interest expense.

Variable

5 Year Fixed

2. IF YOU ARE RENEWING OR TAKING OUT A NEW MORTGAGE, HOW DO YOU CHOOSE BETWEEN A FIXED RATE AND A VARIABLE RATE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT? Jason: I personally believe that people need to do whatever helps them sleep at night, but the interest rate on a variable rate mortgage is currently about 50% lower than a fixed rate, and it also carries a much lower penalty. A variable rate mortgage penalty is 3 months interest, whereas a fixed rate mortgage uses an IRD calculation which typically results in a penalty 3-4 times that of a variable rate mortgage. With statistics showing that about 70% of people break their mortgage before the end of a 5 year term, some serious planning should be made before simply switching to a fixed rate mortgage.

3. WHAT OPTIONS DO PEOPLE HAVE IF THEY ARE IN A 5 YEAR CLOSED VARIABLE TERM MORTGAGE? Jason: People that have variable term mortgages can always move into a fixed closed term mortgage at any time without any penalties, as long as the new term they select is longer than the remaining term on their variable product.

Being a trusted advisor and ultimately, building a friendship is what drives my passion.

The real estate industry has been a passion of mine since I was a young girl. My father, Ross Cescon, was a successful and respected realtor in Milton for over 37 years.

With no computers when he started, I watched him draft offers by hand, meticulously memorizing the appropriate clauses.

MELISSA CESCON

You recently joined the Oakville office of Engel & Volkers. Can you tell us a bit more about why you decided to make the change?

As the Founder and Team Leader of THE CESCON GROUP, my goal has always been to ensure that we can offer our clients best in class service and an excellent client experience. Engel & Volkers is unique in that it truly is a global company with international reach, respected for their boutique “white glove service at all price points” approach. We know this makes our clients feel valued, and it aligns perfectly with our core values and THE CESCON GROUP brand.

What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?

Our role as a realtor is complex. It’s not just about showing homes or installing For Sale signs on lawns.

We interact with humans, their families, their losses,

all home types. Our team members live in Bronte, South East Oakville, Burlington, and Toronto. We are proud that we can service all price points with an exceptional level of care and knowledge. We know your area and WE KNOW YOUR WORTH. In such a competitive market, with so many realtors, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?

THE CESCON GROUP has 3 pillars that we honour.

We call them the 3 C’s. They are Core Values, Classic Service and Client Appreciation. We take an “old school” hands-on approach (we believe personal visits and phone calls still have their place) and couple that with uncompromising values (doing the right thing no matter the cost). And we show our appreciation by staying in touch with our clients well after the sale because we truly care!

THE VILLAGE GYM

PURPOSE-BUILT

Apartments OFFER

FREEDOM

TO RESIDENTS

BY JULIE ACHTERMEIER

Imagine heading into retirement or finding yourself with an empty nest and deciding

it’s time to downsize… but downsizing to a smaller home still means yard maintenance

and snow shovelling. For many adults with grown children (or no children) approaching retirement, renting a luxury apartment has become an attractive option. It allows

them the opportunity to downsize and put away significant capital while enjoying the amenities of a luxury lifestyle. If you think it sounds like condo living, you’re partially correct with a notable exception – no condo fees and no home ownership.

THE TAUNTON DINING ROOM

TWO DEVELOPMENTS IN OAKVILLE currently offer this lifestyle choice for retirees. The Taunton, owned by Realstar, is in Uptown Oakville near Trafalgar Road and Dundas, and The Village, owned by Greenwin, is in the heart of Bronte Village.

Renee Bourgon, Marketing Manager at The Taunton, explains, “The Taunton apartments offer an upscale bespoke rental option to people who are downsizing. It’s luxury living with the security of onsite staff 24/7 and immediate access to amenities.” The Taunton is a 100% smoke-free, purpose-built rental building offering first-class amenities, services and designer living without the commitment of homeownership.

“Once children leave the nest, where do they want to spend their energy?” asks Renee. “Many are choosing to free up the capital and travel (once restrictions lift).”

With real estate values currently at record highs, people can elect to cash out and free up significant capital to invest and live a more stress-free life in their retirement years.

Although the trend towards apartment living was well underway before the pandemic, lockdowns and the lack of winter travel have exacerbated the isolation for many older Canadians living alone. There has been a definite uptick in rentals during the last 24 months, with people noting a sense of community as the main reason to move. In many cases, older adults who are still able to enjoy living alone are choosing purpose-built apartments well before they need the more stringent programming of a classic retirement community.

While buildings such as The Taunton naturally cater to the retirement demographic, other purpose-built apartment locations in Oakville are geared towards younger adults, students, and families. They provide the freedom of living near public transportation and amenities without the commitment and costs of homeownership. With real estate prices continuing to soar throughout the GTA, apartment living provides a welcome alternative to those unable to purchase a home in the current climate.

So, what happened to the goal of paying off the mortgage and living the rest of your days in the family home? It all comes down to the generation gap and adjustments in how each group sees the future. The baby boomer generation is one of significant financial independence and comfort. They are more likely than past generations to spend their money and enjoy life compared to their parents (the Silent Generation) who learned to save every penny during the Great Depression.
