Bank of Canada holds the line on Bank Rate and Interest Rates in Canada

Hello,

This morning the Bank of Canada decided to maintain its overnight rate at 1.00%. Usually the prime rate moves along the overnight rate, which means that your variable interest rate will remain the same until the next Bank of Canada meeting on December 7th, 2010.

This announcement has no impact on fixed rates. In fact, the fixed mortgage rates are at ALL TIME LOW.

IF YOUR VARIABLE MORTGAGE RATE IS MORE THAN 2.5% (or a fixed rate over 4.10%) PLEASE CONTACT ME TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL SAVINGS.

Email me if you need more details.

I hope this finds you Happy and Healthy!

All the Best!

The current state of gold, silver, gasoline and the stock markets

Gold @ 1377.40
Silver @ 24.21
CDN $ @ 1.0009 I guess that is par.
Gasoline 107.4 cents per litre (good grief!)
TSX 12,674
DJIA 11,093

It's a little surreal when you look at the numbers above, who would have believed it - all this hysteria in metals and the markets leads me to believe that the edge of the cliff or at least a dip in the roller coaster may be near...... although I am an eternal optimist, I am very concerned that things have "run up" a little too quick......... only time will tell........

Where do we go from here?

I hope this finds you Happy and Healthy!

All the Best!

September real estate housing market in the GTA

This is the latest press release from TREB regarding the September real estate market in the GTA


GTA REALTORS(r) Report Monthly Resale Housing Market Figures

TORONTO, October 5, 2010 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS(r) reported 6,310 sales through the Multiple Listing Service(r) (MLS(r)) in September 2010.

This represented a 23 per cent decrease compared to the 8,196 sales recorded during the same period in 2009. Through the first nine months of the year, sales amounted to 69,069 - up four per cent compared to the first three quarters of 2009.

"The level of sales in the second half of 2010 has been lower, representing a balancing out period following record levels of sales in the latter half of 2009 and first few months of 2010. We remain on track for one of the best years in history for existing home transactions in the GTA," said Toronto Real Estate Board President Bill Johnston.

The average price for September transactions was $427,329- up five per cent compared to the average of $406,877 reported in September 2009. The average selling price through the first nine months of the year was $429,657.

"Resale homes in the GTA remain affordable," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

"It is important to consider the positive impact of declining mortgage rates over the past two decades. Simply considering home prices relative to incomes does not allow for an accurate analysis of affordability," continued Mercer.

"The share of average household income going toward a mortgage payment on the average priced home in the GTA remains within accepted lending guidelines. This is why the average home selling price has continued to grow."

I hope this finds you Happy and Healthy!

All the Best!
