That car payment could cost you an EXTRA $71,000 🤯
⠀⠀
What if I told you that your monthly car payment can negatively affect the amount you can afford for a house by 25%… 🙃
⠀⠀
I was talking to my mortgage broker and he explained how car payments can make or break a mortgage approval amount. Here is an example below. Assuming a $60,000 salary, good credit, no other debts and a 5% down payment 🏡
⠀⠀
🚙 A $250 car payment = $276,000 purchase price
⠀⠀
🚗 A $500 car payment = $240,000 purchase price, that’s a reduction of $36,000 just from an additional $250 for your car payment
⠀⠀
🏎 A $700 car payment = $205,000 purchase price, that is a reduction of $71,000 which is 25% less than what you could have got
⠀⠀
So before you “bougie” out on a car, think about your 1-3 year plan. If a house is in the picture, you might want to reconsider until after you buy a home 🧐
⠀⠀
Again this is only one variable in getting approved for a mortgage, reach out to me if you have any other questions! I would be more than happy to direct you to my mortgage specialists 🐼

Barrhaven is going to be an even more attractive suburb 👀

Plans for 'new downtown' in Barrhaven A report detailing a new downtown for Barrhaven will go to Planning Committee on Thursday, November 28th.

If you’re reading this, it’s too late ❄️
⠀⠀
Snow is here to stay. If you’ve procrastinated on buying that home, it’s too late to move before the snow hits the ground ⛄️
⠀⠀
Closing on a home can be as quick as 3 weeks and as long as a couple of months but on average 1-2 months has been the standard 🏡
⠀⠀
At this point if you’re thinking to buy you’re probably looking at a January closing. If you wait any longer you may push that to February 🤯
⠀⠀
Some things to consider when choosing a closing date:
⠀⠀
🤵🏻 You may have to give a 60 day notice to your current landlord
⠀⠀
🏙 That dream property may have a strict closing date out of your control
⠀⠀
🏘 Make enough time to sell your currently property
⠀⠀
👔 A faster close means you have to be more organized with your finances and legal paperwork
⠀⠀
Let’s grab some tea and talk about how to get you started in the home buying process ☕️
