The changes are as follows:</span></p> <ol type="1" style="margin-top: 0in; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>Clients who take a Variable rate mortgage or a fixed term less than 5 years must qualify using the 5 year posted rate as determined by the Bank of Canada each Monday.  If the client chooses to take a 5 year fixed term then the 5 year contract rate can be used (ie. If it's a discounted rate, that's ok).</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>For people who want to refinance their mortgage the maximum amount they can borrow is up to 90% of the current appraised value of their home (was 95%).</span></li> <li class="MsoNormal"><span>For people who purchase a rental property the maximum amount of financing allowed is 80% (was 95%).</span></li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span>To clarify, the rate the client actually receives may still be discounted, it's just the rate used to make sure that they qualify is the posted 5 year fixed rate. It will make a difference for those that are pre-approved to their maximum right now. If you have anyone that was pre-approved recently, or is unsure of what they will qualify for now, it is a good idea to have them talk with their lender again now to make sure they are looking in the price range that they now qualify for.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span>So the good news is that if the client wishes to take a 5 year fixed term nothing will change because we can use the discounted rate to qualify them. And it's not an issue for those taking a Variable mortgage if they qualify for what they are buying anyway. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span>Hope that helps to clarify!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span>Desiree Palfrey</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span>Mortgage Broker</span><span> Verico Paragon Mortgage Group</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><span>Tel: 250.213.3691</span><span> Fax: 250.483.1578</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span><a href="http://www.desireepalfrey.com">www.desireepalfrey.com</a></span></p><div class='agent_signature'><p><strong>HAVE YOUR BEST YEAR EVER IN 2010 !</strong></p> <p><a title="Google Map to Fred Carver's ReMax Office" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=2239+Oak+Bay+Ave,+Oak+Bay,+BC&sll=48.427976,-123.314817&sspn=0.006535,0.026071&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=2239+Oak+Bay+Ave,+Oak+Bay,+Capital+Regional+District,+British+Columbia,+Canada&ll=48.427976,-123.314817&spn=0.00776,0.026157&z=16&iwloc=r1" target="_blank"><strong>Google Map To Fred's Oak Bay Office</strong></a></p> <p><a title="Fred's Twitter Account" href="http://www.twitter.com/victoriarealtor" target="_blank"><img title="Fred's Twiiter Account" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/9/7/7/4/ar126137640547795.jpg" alt="Twitter Fred Carver" width="200" height="50" /></a> <a href="http://twitter.com/YourLink"><br /></a></p> <p> </p> <p><a title="Subsribe to Fred's Blog" href="../../subscribe?subscribed_agent_id=20908" target="_blank"><img src="../..http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/4/8/0/2/ar120545395720849.png" alt=" " width="200" height="70" /></a></p> <p>Cheers</p> <p><big><strong>Fred Carver</strong><br /><strong>Re/Max Camosun-Oak Bay</strong></big></p> <p><strong><em>39 Years Experience selling Real Estate does make a Difference.. </em>call me today to find out what I do to Sell Real Estate</strong>.</p> <p><big><strong>2239 Oak Bay Ave, Victoria, BC V8R 1G4 </strong><br />Victoria, BC<br /><strong>250-598-2963</strong></big></p> <p><a title="Victoria Homes and Properties For Sale" href="http://www.victoriahomesandproperties.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Victoria Homes and Properties For Sale</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Post </strong><strong><strong>Copyright © 2010 By<strong> Fred Carver </strong>All Rights Reserved</strong></strong></p> <p><a title="Victoria Homes and Properties Web Site" href="http://www.victoriahomesandproperties.com/" target="_blank"><img title="Victoria Homes and Properties Web Site " src="../..http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/4/4/1/3/ar123489216231441.jpg" alt="Victoria Homes and Properties Web Site " width="565" height="312" /></a></p></div> Victoria Oak Bay Realtor Fred Carver 250-598-2963 for Victoria Oak Bay Homes (Re/Max Camosun Oak Bay & Surrounding Area Real Estate) Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:01:20 -0600 http://victoriarealestatevoice.com/post/1539586/victoria-real-estate-news-mortgage-quafication-rules-change http://victoriarealestatevoice.com/post/1537488/oak-bay-optical-dan-morrison-oak-bay-village-shopping-250-592-1300- OAK BAY OPTICAL-DAN MORRISON-OAK BAY VILLAGE SHOPPING 250-592-1300 <p><span style="font-weight: bold;">OAK BAY OPTICAL-DAN MORRISON-OAK BAY VILLAGE SHOPPING</span><br /> <br style="color: #009900;" /> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #009900;">Good old fashioned service is hard to find now-a days.</span><span style="color: #009900;">.</span>.<span style="">except in the</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Oak Bay Village </span>with <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dan Morrison who Owns and Operates</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Oak Bay Optical.</span></p> <p><img title="Oak Bay Optical on Hampshire Rd" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/7/7/5/4/ar126819896545773.JPG" height="600" alt="Oak Bay Optical f Carver" width="600" /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"> <br /> <br /> </span><br style="color: #009900;" /> <span style="color: #009900;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Dan Morrison has been in the</span> </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #009900;">Oak Bay Village</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">with his Optical Eye Wear store for over 20 years.<br /> </span><img title="Dan Morrison Oak Bay Optical" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/4/5/3/5/9/ar126819902395354.JPG" height="450" alt="Dan Morrison Oak Bay Optical" width="600" /><br /><br /> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #990000;"><span style="color: #009900;">Dan is a Very giving person,</span> </span>a<span style="font-weight: bold;">nd everyone with or without a Dog knows about Dan's interest in you and Dogs.

In the early 1900s a large area west of Fernwood Road was used as a sand and gravel pit to supply construction materials to local builders, to the dismay of many early residents. The problem was partly solved by the construction of the present </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_High_School" title="Victoria High School" style="font-weight: bold;">Victoria High School</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> in 1912 on some of the lands that had been used as the sand and gravel pit. </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: #cc0000;"><br /> <span style="color: #000000;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Historically,</span> a natural spring in Fernwood supplied Victoria with its main source of water, hence the earlier name of the neighborhood, Springridge.

In the early 1900s a large area west of Fernwood Road was used as a sand and gravel pit to supply construction materials to local builders, to the dismay of many early residents. The problem was partly solved by the construction of the present </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_High_School" title="Victoria High School" style="font-weight: bold;">Victoria High School</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> in 1912 on some of the lands that had been used as the sand and gravel pit. </span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Historically, a spring in Fernwood supplied Victoria with its main source of water, hence the earlier name of the neighborhood, Springridge. In 1875 Victoria began piping water from Elk Lake, and in 1885, the site of the original springs became the location of the Empire Brewery.</span> <div class='agent_signature'><p><strong>HAVE YOUR
