Royal LePage Regina Realty
My name is Matthew Pfeifer, and this is Bald Prairie Real estate, a Canadian real estate channel. I am a realtor in Regina Saskatchewan working for Royal LePage Regina Realty. In 10 years working as a real estate agent, I have seen both ups and downs in the market. But there is no real estate market that you cannot buy or sell a house in. Often the media tries to present a Canadian real estate market, or they talk about the real estate market in Canada as if there is a national market. The real estate market in Canada is very regionalized, why is why my monthly Canadian real estate market updates cover Vancouver and Toronto but other individual cities like Calgary, Halifax, Montreal and more. Being from Regina I focus on the Regina real estate market. Bald Prairie real estate is about educating you about Canadian real estate. I cover first-time home buyer topics, tips for selling your home, how to buy a house in Canada and monthly Canadian real estate market updates.

Hey Mathew, thank you for all the information and great videos! I have a question as someone coming to Canada soon on a work permit: do you have to be a PR to buy a house? What are the differences when a foreigner and a Canadian citizen buys a house? If you can elaborate a little bit it would be helpful. ❤️
@BaldPrairieRealEstate
@BaldPrairieRealEstate Год назад
Thank you! Yes you can buy a home as a non resident but it is a more complex process. It very much depends on the country you are coming from. If your credit score/history can be transferred here that helps alot. Down payment requirements are also much higher generally as well.

Here is weird question for you, I think I am finally buying a house. Its a manufactured and my broker says I do not qualify for regular mortgage rates due to it being a manufactured(we will also own the land underneath it). She says its because manufactured have a shorter lifespan. However with lots of research I found that is largely a myth. My friend has a home that is half manufactured and half stick built and he qualifies for a normal rates despit it being from the 80s. So I asked what if we put an edition on it? She still said no. Why is it that if I bought a 1950 house with asbestos and black mold I would qualify for normal rates but a 2006 manufactured home is seen as something about to collapse?
@BaldPrairieRealEstate
@BaldPrairieRealEstate Год назад
Great question! Most likely it's a lender or insurer specific rule. Every lender has their criteria for what they will lend on and what they consider more/less risky. Unfortunately, right or wrong most lenders don't like lending on RTM homes as much a stick-built houses.
@mellykick213
@mellykick213 2 года назад
We have 3 pre approvals right now, all at different rates because they keep changing, good until October. I’m assuming it’s better if you can put a bigger downpayment on a house over 20% so no insurance on mortgage and as rates go up it’s better to put more money down up front? We’re trying to hold off and wait for the prices to come down
@BaldPrairieRealEstate
@BaldPrairieRealEstate 2 года назад
Yes usually once you get over that 20% down threshold rates go up a little more until you get all the way up to about 35% down. The right time to buy is when it makes sense for your own personal situation. Here are my three rules off buying a house. 1. You must be in the financial position to buy the house with the job security to withstand higher rates and the cost of home ownership. 2. You are planning on being in the house long term (5+ years). 3. Buying a house is going to improve your lifestyle or quality of life. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.

Can you make a video about "tactics real estate agents would use that you need to watch out for ". Like hidden fees, do we owe real estate agent anything if you are not happy with them for so far even though they spent time/worked for you. Is there an agreement made for that?. Why would a buyer's agent negotiate a lower price if the commission is in percentage. And maybe why you should not trust a real estate agent. And why you should never sign anything without reading every word in the documents. Isn't two agents better than one ?.
@BaldPrairieRealEstate
@BaldPrairieRealEstate 2 года назад
Lots of great questions there and thank for the ideas. Unless you have signed a buyers agreement with the agent you shouldn’t owe them anything. Why would an agent negotiate for a lower price? Because it is the right thing for this clients and that is what they are expected to do. But furthermore most agents see a large portion of their business come from referrals from past clients. I don’t know many people who feel their agent didn’t have their best interests in mind and still recommended them. Hope that helps a little. But I do like the concepts you have talked about for a longer video.

The buyer's agent commission is actually pre-determined by the seller at the time the seller decides to list their house for sale. You as a buyer do not pay your buyer's agent a commission as that is paid by the seller out of the proceeds of the sale.

@@ryangjewell Yes patience is your friend. Some of the deals I am most proud of are the lower price homes that I have found for buyers. In my market while you can still find homes under 200k it's hard and sometimes takes a while for a good one to hit the market. I told those buyers that it could take some time to find the right one and we are probably going to see alot of crap. But once you have gone out and viewed the bad ones, when that good one hits the market, you will know and then go get it. Where are you looking?

@@madhuvl8328 if it's in writing that has more weight. I wouldn't choose an agent based on getting money back. People who are good in their field are generally not discounting their value.

I want to buy a home badly, I cannot stand renting anymore. I'm planning on having $20,000 saved for a down payment on a house under $100,000. My issue would be my working history. I work contracts that last a few months and don't feel comfortable with long-term employment unless it a higher role (management) or if I'm running my own business. I am worried my bank will just say no, even if I can do a 50% down payment. I'm paying nearly $1,000 in rent alone and I wish banks could look at that and see I could afford $500/m mortgage payments also pay heat, power, water, and food, plus my luxuries.
