BENEFITS OF GETTING A PRE-APPROVAL!
Pre-approvals are one of the easiest way to start off the home buying process on the right foot.
It's a very good idea to get a pre-approved mortgage before you start shopping. Many Realtors will ask if you've been pre-approved. A lender will look at your finances and figure the amount of mortgage you can afford. Then the lender will give you a written confirmation, or certificate, for a fixed interest rate. This confirmation will be good for a specific period of time. A pre-approved mortgage is not a guarantee of being approved for the mortgage loan.
Even if you haven't found the home you want to buy, having a pre-approved mortgage amount will help keep a good price range in mind.
Lenders may require the following for pre-approval:
Your personal information, including identification such as your driver's license
Details on your job, including confirmation of salary in the form of a letter from your employer
All you sources of income
Information and details on all bank accounts, loans and other debts
Proof of financial assets
Source and amount of down payment and deposit
Proof of source of funds for the closing costs (these are usually between 1.5% and 4% of the purchase price)
Getting a pre-approval helps you establish a maximum spending limit when looking for your dream home before you shop, so you know what price range to target! Many home buyers aim too high, bidding on a home outside of their budget. Later they learn the home is beyond their means due to other financial factors. Having a pre-approval eliminates the stress of not knowing what you can afford and what your payments will be.
Received a guaranteed interest rate for 120 days!
In today's rising interest rate environment, it's smart to protect yourself from rising rates down the road. Our Lenders guarantee the interest rate for 120 days from the date of the pre-approval.
Eliminate the guesswork!
When obtaining a pre-approval your Mortgage Agent will discuss the full range of mortgage options available to you, eliminating any assumptions and myths you may have about mortgages and buying a home, especially if you're a first time homebuyer.
A pre-approval is very different than simply calculating how much you can afford. Taking the time to calculate your income, existing payment obligations and proposed mortgage payment to determine a rough estimate of how much you might be able to borrow is a valuable step in the planning process.

SCHL: Pénurie de logements au Canada : Estimation des besoins pour résoudre la crise de l’abordabilité du logement au Canada d’ici 2030
Nous traversons une crise du logement. Dans ce rapport, nous examinons labordabilit globale de lensemble du systme de logement au Canada. Nous avons pris des mesures pour estimer la quantit de logements supplmentaires ncessaires, au-del des tendances actuelles, pour rtablir labordabilit du logement dici 2030.
Faits saillants
Nous prvoyons que si le taux actuel de construction se maintient, le parc de logements augmentera pour atteindre prs de 19 millions dunits dici 2030. Pour rtablir labordabilit, nous estimons que le Canada aura besoin de 3,5 millions de logements supplmentaires.
Les deux tiers des 3,5 millions de logements manquants se trouvent en Ontario et en Colombie-Britannique, o les marchs de lhabitation sont les moins abordables.
Des logements supplmentaires seraient galement requis au Qubec. Cette province tait autrefois considre comme abordable, mais labordabilit sy est fortement effrite au cours des dernires annes.
Dautres provinces demeurent largement abordables pour un mnage ayant un revenu disponible moyen. Cependant, il est toujours difficile pour les mnages faible revenu davoir accs un logement abordable partout au Canada.

Canada’s Housing Supply Shortages: Estimating what is needed to solve Canada’s housing affordability crisis by 2030
Were in a housing crisis. This report looks at the overall affordability for the entire housing system in Canada. The report has taken steps to estimate how much additional housing supply is required beyond current trends to restore housing affordability by 2030.
Key Highlights
CMHC projects that if current rates of new construction continue, the housing stock will increase to close to 19 million housing units by 2030. To restore affordability, CMHC projects Canada will need an additional 3.5 million units.
Two-thirds of the 3.5 million housing unit gap is in Ontario and British Columbia where housing markets are least affordable.
Additional supply would also be needed in Quebec, a province once considered affordable. It has seen a marked decline in affordability over the last few years. Other provinces remain largely affordable for a household with the average level of disposable income. However, challenges remain for low-income households in accessing housing that is affordable across Canada.
