Two (2) cohorts can benefit the first time buyers and real estate investors as long as:

1. They are financially in a good position and they can qualify and can afford the mortgage payments and the finances

2. If they have a short term approach when it comes to financing talking to The mortgage brokers and the people in the finance industry rates

Conclusion for first time Homebuyers

1. Keeping in mind that the five year fixed mortgage rates are hovering around the 6% points the Bank of Canada benchmark rate is 5% which puts variable mortgages around 7% so it makes it very difficult for potential buyers to buy their home.

2. Move up buyers it makes it difficult for them to sell because there is less demand and obviously makes it difficult for them to buy their next home it just slows down the whole market

3. We should start coming down late 2024 early 2025 and if we're at the peak and things are coming down, this is where it's prudent to position yourself in a shorter term type of financing

4. It looks like the economy is slowing down based on GDP numbers  the opportunity here is for first time buyersand again I preface this with as long as you qualify and you can afford it this is not pushing people into the market

5. There could be an opportunity because sure you might not get the highest price for whatever you're selling so if you're coming out of the condo space you might not get the maximum price that you could have gotten a year and a half two years ago.

6. You might get a little bit less but because you're buying the bigger assets so if you're

   buying a more expensive home if you're moving up to a larger home you can buy that larger home at a bigger discount
