Creating an outdoor room is a great way to expand your home's living space without the cost of an addition. Retractable Awnings expand homes by turning decks and patios into added living space, combining the comfort of the indoors with the enjoyment of the outdoors. In the hot summer days, an awning provides a simple solution that shields out these harmful rays while keeping you cool.

Here is an update I just received from my RBC Mortgage professional and I thought I would share it with you guys.
"The Bank of Canada left the overnight rate at 0.25% this morning and opened the door to rate increase at the June meeting by removing its conditional commitment to keep the policy rate at its current level, "until the end of the second quarter of 2010." The Bank stated that with, "recent improvements in the economic outlook, the need for such extraordinary policy is now passing, and it is appropriate to begin to lessen the degree of monetary stimulus. The extent and timing will depend on the outlook for economic activity and inflation, and will be consistent with achieving the 2% inflation target." The change in the Bank's statement…Market Watch – April 2010 Residential Resale Market Maintains Momentum

Mortgage Talk: Interested in a Fixed Rate Mortgage?
Sunday, April 4th, 2010 at 4:14pm. 419 Views, 0 Comments.
![]() With the prospect of upcoming rate hikes looming over, many home buyers think that locking into the best fixed rate mortgage is the way to go. Does the idea of a mortgage with a fixed interest rate sound appealing? There are mixed messages out there about when and if interest rates are going to go up. But just as important is a thorough understanding of fixed-rate mortgages and what it could mean for you and your home investment in the long run. Keep in mind that the cost of interest rates rising by 1% is equivalent to the home price falling by 10%. Historically when interest rates have gone up they have gone up fast. It is not uncommon for there to be a 1% hike in a matter of months. |
