Real Estate Demand:

  • The market has low inventory
  • Unprecedented low interest rates
  • It’s a good time to sell
  • If you are looking at buying – you might want to wait depending on your personal situation

Mortgage Deferrals:

  • Banks gave 6 months relief during COVID-19
  • These deferrals have to be repaid
  • It would be wise to talk to your specific bank as every bank will be different and all repayments will be different

Repayments:

  • Lenders add principle and interest for the deferred months
  • Sometimes amortization periods are extended
  • Sometimes monthly payments are being increased
  • If you have extra money it would be wise to pay a little more and get the mortgage payments down
  • The City of Saskatoon is equalizing payments for

Refinancing:

  • Banks will look at loan to value ratio
  • Principle and interest added to loan
  • Typically this will be at a higher price point
