You want to purchase a property, how exciting!

Keep in mind that you will require mortgage loan insurance if your down payment is less than 20%.

The insurance cost is based on the size of your down payment and the amount of mortgage. This cost can be added to your mortgage payments or paid as a lump sum.

On March 18, 2020, the Prime Minister announced a new set of economic measures to help stabilize the economy during this challenging period.

People purchase pre-sale units for many reasons, some hope to buy a home cheaper during pre-sale than when the project is complete, others invest to make a profit.

When someone sells their pre-sale prior to completion, they are "assigning" their contract to someone else. The original purchaser (person who purchased the pre-sale) may have to pay an assignment fee to the developer in order to assign their contract.

Purchaser number two (the person purchasing from the pre-sale buyer) usually purchases the assignment sight unseen .... Hamiliton Village is an exception!

Phase I is complete, however, as the road isn't finished they have not received their occupancy permit. This is a fabulous opportunity to purchase an assignment as you can see the product prior to making an offer.

I viewed several of the units listed for sale in this brand new complex, they truly are beautiful.

When you walk into a unit, the 9ft ceilings give them a bright and airy feeling. Thought was definitely put into the design of this complex and extra expense was evident with under counter lights, soft close cabinets, energy-efficient appliances including a gas range and quartz countertops. The decks are huge compared to many I've seen. These units come with the 2/5/10 warranty which certainly gives you peace of mind.

This area is connected to everything, trails, waterfront, outstanding schools, transit and new retail space. This is a growing area that easily links to Richmond, New Westminster, Burnaby, Vancouver, Surrey, Delta and beyond.

1 bedroom plus den start in the low 400K and come with parking.

Hamilton Village has a pool, gym, hot tub and multi purpose room, plus communal garden and courtyard

Everyone wants to know "When is the best time to List my Home?" 

None of us have a crystal ball, if we did we'd all be millionaires 

That being said, everyone also thinks the best time is Spring.

So my question to you is, do you want to list your home when everyone else will be listing theirs? Or, do you want to get out of the gate quicker than everyone else and get a jump on the market?

To make this even better is the fact that we are experiencing low inventory, your property will show up on more searches and be a contender as it won't be competing with as many homes.
