Here is a list of some of Canada’s Real Estate Terminology

• Amortization: Paying off a debt, such as a mortgage, by installment. The conventional amortization period for a mortgage is anywhere between 15 and 25 years. The shorter the amortization period, the less interest you have to pay.
• Appraisal: An estimate of a property’s value.
• Asking (or list) price: The price placed on the property for sale by the seller.
• Blended payments: Payments consisting of principal and interest components, paid during the amortization period of a mortgage.
• Broker: A person licensed by the provincial or territorial government to trade in real estate. Real estate Brokers may form companies or offices which appoint sales representatives to provide services to the seller or buyer, or they may provide the same services themselves. In parts of Canada, Brokers are referred to as agents.
• Buyer’s Agent (also known as “Buyer’s Broker” or “Purchaser’s Agent”): A person or firm representing the buyer. A Buyer’s Agent’s primary allegiance is to the buyer. The buyer is the Buyer Agent’s client.
• Buyer Brokerage Agreement: A written agreement between the buyer and the buyer’s agent, outlining the agency relationship between the two parties and the manner in which the buyer’s agent will be compensated. In some provinces, a buyer agency relationship evolves automatically, without a written agreement.
• Client: The person being represented by an agent. The agent owes the client the duties of utmost care, integrity, confidentiality and loyalty.
• Closing: The day the legal title to the property changes hands.
• CMHC: Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. A Crown corporation providing information services and mortgage loan insurance.
• Commission: An amount agreed to by the seller and the real estate Broker/agent and stated in the listing agreement. It is payable to the Broker/agent on closing and shared, if applicable, among those salespeople involved in the sale.
• Customer: A person who receives valuable information and assistance from a real estate Broker or salesperson, but is not represented by that individual.
• Debt-Service Ratio: The measurement of debt payments to gross household income which may include, in addition to the main wage earner’s salary, salaries of other wage earners, commissions, bonuses, overtime, etc.
• Dual Agent: A real estate Broker or salesperson who acts as agent for both the seller and the buyer in the same transaction. Both buyer and seller are the agent’s clients.
• Equity:The difference between the value of the property and the amount owing (if any) on the mortgage.
• Financial Institutions: Banks, credit unions, insurance or trust companies.
• GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Company: GE Capital Mortgage Insurance Company is the only private sector source of mortgage insurance to lenders in Canada.
• Gross Debt Service: The amount of money needed to pay principal, interest, taxes and sometimes, energy costs. If the dwelling unit is a condominium, all or a portion of common fees are included, depending on what expenses are covered.
• Gross Debt Service Ratio: Gross debt service divided by household income. A rule of thumb is that GDS should not exceed 30%. It is also referred to as PIT (Principal, Interest and Taxes) over income. Sometimes energy costs are added to the formula, producing PITE, which moves the rule of thumb GDS to 32%.
• Listing Agreement: The legal agreement between the listing Broker and the seller, setting out the services to be rendered, describing the property for sale and stating the terms of payment. A commission is generally payable to the Broker upon closing.
• MLS^®, Multiple Listing Service^®: These are trademarks owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association. They are used in conjunction with a real estate database service, operated by local real estate boards, under which properties may be listed, purchased or sold. An MLS^® listing means REALTORS^® have agreed to work together for the marketing of a listing.
• Mortgage: A contract providing security for the repayment of a loan, registered against the property, with stated rights and remedies in the event of default. Lenders consider both the property (security) and the financial worth of the borrower (covenant) in deciding on a mortgage loan.
• Mortgage Broker: A person or company having contacts with financial institutions or individuals wishing to invest in mortgages. The mortgagor pays the Broker a fee for arranging the mortgage. Appraisal and legal services may or may not be included in the fee.
• Mortgage Insurer: In Canada, high-ratio mortgages (those representing greater than 75% of the property value) must be insured against default by either CMHC or private insurers. The borrower must arrange and pay for the insurance, which protects the lender against default.
• Mortgagee: The person or financial institution lending the money, secured by a mortgage.
• Mortgagor: The property owner borrowing the money, secured by a mortgage.
• Offer of Purchase and Sale: The document through which the prospective buyer sets out the price and conditions under which he or she will buy the property.
• Real Estate Board: A non-profit organization representing local real estate Brokers/agents, salespeople, which provides services to its members and maintains and operates a MLS^® system in the community.
• REALTOR^® : Trademark identifying real estate professionals in Canada who are members of The Canadian Real Estate Association, and as such, subscribe to a high standard of professional service and to a strict Code of Ethics.
• Term: The actual life of a mortgage contract– from six months to ten years — at the end of which the mortgage becomes due and payable unless the lender renews the mortgage for another term (See Amortization).
• Seller’s Agent: The Seller’s Agent represents the seller — either as a Listing Agent under the listing agreement with the seller or by cooperating as a Sub-Agent, typically through the MLS^® system. In dealing with prospective buyers — customers– the Seller’s Agent can provide a variety of information and services to assist the buyer in his/her decision-making. The Seller’s Agent does not represent the buyer.
• Variable-rate Mortgage: A mortgage in which payments are fixed, but the interest rate moves in response to trends. If interest rates go up, a larger portion of your payment goes to the interest; if rates go down, more goes to cover the principal.

MORTGAGE CALCULATOR

Mortgage calculator easy-to-use  will help you estimate the maximum you can afford. The tool will calculate the maximum house price you can afford, the maximum mortgage amount you can borrow, and your monthly mortgage payments.

How Much Can You Afford?

The shortest answer to that question is: it depends on a number of factors. The most important are your gross household income, your down payment and the mortgage interest rate. Lenders will also consider your assets and liabilities. Your own lifestyle and debt comfort zone also come into play.

• Use the Calculator to estimate the maximum mortgage you can afford

This calculation is based on two simple rules that lenders use to determine how much of a mortgage you can afford.

–The first rule is that your monthly housing costs should not exceed 32% of your gross monthly household income. Housing costs include monthly mortgage payments, taxes and heating expenses. If applicable, this sum should also include half of monthly condominium fees.–Secondly, your entire monthly debt load should not be any more than 40% of your gross monthly income. This includes housing costs, and other debts such as car payments, personal loans, and credit card payments.

What you need to know about buying or selling your home with a realtor.

The fact is most people who try to sell their own home end up using a REALTOR^® in the end anyway. Before anybody decides to fly solo through this complex, time consuming and financially perilous process, they should consider these questions.

Will you really “save” the realtor commission?

When buyers see a home for sale ‘by the owner’, they see a bargain. They imagine the REALTORS^® fee going into their pocket, not yours.

Are you familiar with real estate law?

Complicated and ever changing, real estate law governs nearly every phase of selling your home. One miss-step and an entire deal can fall through, or worse, a lawsuit can come your way.

How many potential buyers will you reach?

Selling a home takes more than just hanging a “For Sale” sign. How will you promote your home? Will you write your own ads? How will you use the Internet, knowing that you’ll have no access to www.mls.ca or the Multiple Listing Service^®?

Do you have the time?

Promoting a home is a full time job, and you may already have one. Will you be able to take calls at any time? How about screening the callers to figure out if they’re qualified to buy your home? Not everybody who calls is even suitable to walk through your home, but how do you tell?

Do you know the market well enough to get the most for your home?

Lacking years of experience, the average do it- yourselfer is merely guessing at their listing price. Often they set the price too low and miss out on thousands of dollars, or they price their home too high and drive away willing buyers.

What about your selling skills?

If the personalities of prospective buyers rub you the wrong way, can you still deal with them effectively? What about your own defensiveness when you hear negative comments about your home? Best to keep it at arms length through a REALTOR^®.

Do you have the negotiation skills to keep a deal on track?

When an offer comes in, emotions can run high with so much money on the line. This is why direct seller-to-buyer deals often end in disaster.

REALTORS^® keep it professional and are indispensable when it comes to bargaining with buyers.
