Open House - The Real Estate & Mortgage Show: May 16th, 2022

The growing question in 2022 is how can young Canadians afford a down payment on their first house? It seems increasingly difficult to find a strategy to make it possible and it is seeming almost impossible for most. According to Frank Napolitano, there should be a change in the length of amortization that is available to home buyers.

Mandatory house inspections are another growing question. Many Canadians are using their life savings to purchase that home and many of them are ending up with daunting repairs on a home they thought were safe and up to code.
