To avoid buyer's remorse, be sure to consider your future self when shopping for a home.
Most new homebuyers don't regret becoming homeowners. In fact, according to a recent survey by Zolo, 80% of Canadians who purchased a home during the pandemic say they're glad they bought their current homes.1 But that doesn't mean newly-minted homeowners don't have any regrets about their buying choices.
On the contrary, research shows that even the most-satisfied homeowners would change some aspects of their home purchase if given the opportunity.2 Some question their decision to move to a neighbourhood they still don't love. Others wish they had been less picky about where they lived so they could have paid less. Many are afraid they overspent or think they sacrificed too much in their rush to buy a home.

Unlocking the Value of Your Home: A Deep Dive into Reverse Mortgages in Canada
As Canadians, we treasure our homes - they hold our memories, our dreams, and a significant chunk of our wealth. If you're aged 55 or older, did you know you can tap into the value of your home without selling it? Welcome to the world of reverse mortgages - a financial tool seeing annual growth rates of over 28%.
Unraveling the Reverse Mortgage
In simple terms, a reverse mortgage is a loan that allows homeowners to convert up to 55% of their home's value into tax-free cash, providing an avenue to unlock equity built over the years. The loan is secured against the value of your home, with repayment required only when you decide to move or sell. One of the most attractive features is the flexibility in payment options - you can choose to make monthly payments or opt for a no payment option.

This blog post will expand on these insights to help you better navigate the home selling process.
Limited Access to Your Home
The first major pitfall we discuss in the video is the issue of limited access. A common mistake many sellers make is not providing sufficient opportunities for potential buyers to view their homes. The mantra to remember here is simple: Limited access equals limited exposure. If you restrict viewing times excessively, you significantly reduce your property's exposure to prospective buyers, which ...
