Ottawa Real Estate Board - Listing Details
Started to list last Fall over 410K. Recently it was changed to another agent. Now see the price. I don't expect dropping like that, what's wrong with this house and who is the owner?
Revised.
do the math, why need the income doubles to catch up the mortgage increase double? for example, if your current monthly mortgage is $1500, and net family income is $7000, after 5 years, as you predict the mortgage is $3000, increased by $1500, to make ends meet, your monthly income should be $8500 in 5 years later, the income increase rate over five years should be 1500/7000=21%, (average yearly increase is 4%). If you have a good job, nothing need to be worried!!!for the house buyers, current interest rate is the lowest it can be, if interest rate doubles in 5 years on your mortgage renewal, will you income double in 5 years to cover the new payment? buy what you can afford, not just because interest rate is low, better safe than sorry.

Remember mortage payment is not total amount you earned, the average percentage is 30% of your net income. In ottawa, this percentage is much lower (about 25%.)
