Lower interest rates have helped make buying a home less expen-sive in the past. Here’s a few tips on how you can make sure that you can actually afford to jump on in to the housing pool:
• Think beyond the mortgage payment. You’ll need to afford real estate property taxes, home insurance, home repairs and main-
tenance.
• “Loan Approved” doesn’t necessarily mean “Loan Affordable”. Start documenting your monthly expenses, such as utility bills, car repairs and payments, current property taxes or rent pay ments, clothing, haircuts and entertainment expenses.
• Unfurnished is okay. Don’t feel like you have to charge items just to furnish your new home. High credit payments may actually compromise your ability to make your mortgage payments.
• Shop around for mortgages. If you don’t understand all the
costs, ask questions. If a lender is vague, ask them to be more specifi c. How is your credit? Is this the right time for you to buy, or should you wait until your credit history looks better?
• Will you still be employed? Ask lenders about unemployment insurance, which can typically offer up to 12 months (or more) of mortgage payments if you’re laid off.
• Know your mortgage. Your loan type may determine if the loan has payment fl exibility or other alternatives.

A HOME INSPECTION IS A GOOD INVESTMENT
Buying a home is a major event in most people’s lives. Often, homebuyers are so caught up in the excitement that they can easily overlook any fl aws their new home may have. However, a house is also one of the most expensive purchases you are likely to make so it’s best to know as much as possible about potential problems before you make the commitment to buy.
In its free booklet, “How to buy your home,” the Ontario Real Estate Association recommends homebuyers hire a professional home inspector to thoroughly check out a property before buying. A home inspection can give you the peace of mind of knowing what to expect and help you make an informed decision about the value of the home and the future upkeep.
Not only will a home inspection help you determine the condition of the house, its structural soundness, and its mechanical systems, but it also brings any problems to the seller’s attention at a time when they can be resolved before closing a sale.
If you are making an offer on a house before it’s inspected, talk to your REALTOR® about including a clause that the sale is contingent upon a satisfactory structural inspection, and specify when the inspection is to be carried out. That way, you are protected.

Lower interest rates have helped make buying a home less expen-sive in the past. Here’s a few tips on how you can make sure that you can actually afford to jump on in to the housing pool:
• Think beyond the mortgage payment. You’ll need to afford real estate property taxes, home insurance, home repairs and main-
tenance.
• “Loan Approved” doesn’t necessarily mean “Loan Affordable”. Start documenting your monthly expenses, such as utility bills, car repairs and payments, current property taxes or rent pay ments, clothing, haircuts and entertainment expenses.
• Unfurnished is okay. Don’t feel like you have to charge items just to furnish your new home. High credit payments may actually compromise your ability to make your mortgage payments.
• Shop around for mortgages. If you don’t understand all the
costs, ask questions. If a lender is vague, ask them to be more specifi c. How is your credit? Is this the right time for you to buy, or should you wait until your credit history looks better?
• Will you still be employed? Ask lenders about unemployment insurance, which can typically offer up to 12 months (or more) of mortgage payments if you’re laid off.
• Know your mortgage. Your loan type may determine if the loan has payment fl exibility or other alternatives.

WHAT’S INCLUDEDIN A HOME INSPECTION?
A home inspector will go through the property and perform a comprehensive visual
inspection. A typical inspection includes an examination of the structure from top
to bottom, including the heating, air conditioning systems, the interior plumbing and
electrical systems, the roof and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, fl oors, windows
and doors, the foundation, basement and visible structure.
If you can spare the time, it’s a good idea to accompany the inspector during the
process. This can give you an opportunity to learn about any problems fi rst-hand and
become more familiar with your new house at the same time. The inspector may also
be able to share some valuable maintenance tips with you during the inspection.
Following the examination, the inspector will provide a report that not only points
out possible defects or areas of concern, but also the positive aspects of the structure
as well as the type of maintenance that will be necessary to keep the home in good
shape. The home inspector should be willing to answer any questions you have as
well as clarify any limitations of the inspection to avoid misunderstandings. Avoid
fi rms that issue only a verbal report. The report should be more than just a checklist
of items inspected. The home inspector should also issue a written report with ac-
curate cost estimates for any major defects discovered during the inspection.
A professional assessment will provide complete information about the condition of
the property you are considering and will help avoid any unpleasant surprises after
the sale. In addition, a home inspector can remain totally objective, while you as the
prospective homebuyer may be emotionally involved.
A home inspection usually lasts about three hours. The inspection fee for a typical
single-family house can vary depending upon the geographic area. The particular
features of the home such as size, age and special structures will also be taken into
consideration.
