Lethbridge Real Estate - Estate Sale

Lethbridge Real Estate

For some fantastic reason, I handle an unusual number of estate sales.  These are not only properties where the owner has passed away, but also situations when they are moving into a care facility or a seniors complex.  As a result of these estate sales I meet some pretty cool people with some great stories about Lethbridge and about real estate.

 

Today I helped my neighbor arrange the sale of his Lethbridge home.  He has lived there for 35 years, but it is time for him to move on.  He is a great guy with some amazing stories.  The house is a bit dated, seems to happen when you live there for so long.

 

In addition to this property, I have a couple other estate sale homes coming up in the next little while.  Stay tuned to my blog and I will post the details on them as soon as I have them listed.  Please note that I will not be giving out the details or addresses until such time as the family involved in each property authorizes me to do so.

 

Feel free to send me an email and let me know what you are looking for, or go to my Lethbridge Real Estate online website where you can set up a profile and be automatically emailed the info when I post it.  Either way, unless you are already working with me or registered for my updates there is little chance that you will have opportunity to access my Exclusive listings.

 

*Note - one of my clients in Calgary has started to advertise their estate property on kijiji/craigslist.  Please note that I do not have it listed or any details on it yet.  Best bet is to come back here after the weekend and I should know more about it then.  I will post the details on the listing here and my other Lethbridge real estate website when I have them.  I will most likely refer this listing to a Calgary Realtor when the time comes.

3 yr ARM vs 5 yr ARM?

Let's just take a second and compare these 2 products.

 

We start with the attractive low interest rate of Prime for 3 years.  Next, consider the change in ARM pricing over the past 6 months and the likelihood of this continuing.  Why would you want to lock in a customer to a 5 year ARM when there is a downward trend in ARM rates?  Instead, offer them a shorter ARM term - say, 3 years - which would allow them to renew into another ARM sooner (and at better pricing).  The financial benefit for your customer could be huge.  A hypothetical example follows:

 

Mortgage amount $300,000, 25 year amortization.  Assume Prime is constant

Current 5 year ARM Rate: Prime + .10%.  Current 3 year ARM Rate: Prime.  Hypothetical ARM Rate 3 years from now: Prime - .50%

-          Taking a 5 year term now, the customer would pay $32,438 in interest over the 5 years.

-          Taking a 3 year term now, the customer would pay $19,259 in interest over the 3 years.  Plus, they would pay an additional $9,150 for the next two years, for a total of $28,409.  That’s a savings of $4,029 or 12%.
