Simple tips to improve your status with mortgage lenders 

Owning a home is a dream shared 

by millions of people. Investing in 

property that can be owned within 15 

to 30 years of closing on the home 

makes more financial sense to many 

than continuing to rent and having 

little to show for it over time. 

The first step to take when planning 

to enter the real estate market is to ensure 

that your finances are in order. 

Various factors will influence individuals’ 

ability to secure a mortgage, and 

these are some ways to make yourself 

more attractive to prospective lenders. 

• Check your credit report. Lenders 

will check your credit report before 

deciding if you are a risk or a 

safe bet for a mortgage. So it makes 

sense to check your credit report prior 

to speaking with a lender. The Federal 

Trade Commission says everyone can 

get one free credit report a year from 

each of the three credit reporting bureaus. 

If you split it up, you can get 

a credit report every four months so 

you are aware of anything that may 

adversely affect your ability to get a 

mortgage loan. A credit (FICO) score 

that’s too low may disqualify you from 

a mortgage. Each lender sets its own 

thresholds when they price and approve 

loans, but the higher your credit 

score, the better. 

• Improve credit standing. One way 

to improve your status in the eyes of 

lenders is to pay down credit card balances 

to reduce your credit utilization 

ratio. A high utilization occurs when 

there is a high balance in relation to 

the credit limit, says Business Insider. 

Also, it may be wise to avoid any credit 

inquiries through new credit card 

applications for several months before 

applying for a loan, as these inquiries 

can affect your score. 

• Be realistic about what you can 

afford. Do your homework and determine 

your target interest rate and 

monthly payment as well as what 

down payment you can afford. It will 

help you research potential lenders 

and provide an idea of what may be 

offered to you. 

• Pay bills on time. Paying bills 

promptly not only helps you avoid 

late fees, but also positively affects 

your credit. The financial resource 

The Mortgage Reports urges diligence 

when paying rent, as late rent payments 

can bar you from getting a mortgage. 

Lenders look at rent history as the biggest 

indicator of whether you’ll make 

mortgage payments on time. 

These are some of the ways to make 

a prospective home buyer look better 

in the eyes of mortgage lenders. Individuals 

can speak with financial professionals 

about what else they can do 

to improve the possibility of securing 

mortgages at the best rates possible.

Home trends come and go. Today’s 

must-have items tend to become tomorrow’s 

outdated features in the 

blink of an eye. 

Homeowners who plan to stay in 

their current homes for years to come 

needn’t prioritize modern trends over 

personal preferences. However, homeowners 

looking to sell their homes can 

consider these favored features to increase 

their properties’ appeal to modern 

buyers. 

• Separate laundry room: According 

to the National Association of Home 

Builders’ 2021 What Home Buyers 

Really Want report, a separate room 

dedicated to laundry was the most desired 

feature among prospective home 

buyers. Though it might not inspire 

the awe of an outdoor living room or 

floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking 

a wooded backyard, a laundry room 

fills a direct and universal need. Perhaps 

that’s why 87 percent of buyers 

want a room dedicated to laundry in a 

home. 

• Exterior lighting: Drive through 

a modern suburban neighborhood at 

night and it won’t take long before 

you realize the popularity of exterior 

lighting. And that’s no coincidence, 

as homeowners everywhere appear to 

embrace exterior lighting. The NAHB 

report indicates that exterior lighting is 

the most sought-after outdoor feature. 

The good news for prospective sellers 

is that exterior lighting is an inexpensive 

and instant way to transform a 

property at night. Some solar-powered 

lighting along walkways and outside 

the front door can make a home feel 

more safe, while some uplighting of 

large trees in the backyard can produce 

a sight to behold once the sun goes 

down. 

• Energy-efficient upgrades: Inflation 

has driven up the cost of just about 

everything over the last year-plus, and 

energy is no exception. So it should 

come as no surprise that 83 percent 

of prospective home buyers are looking 

for energy-efficient windows and 

appliances in a home. These features 

save money and benefit the planet, 

making them a win-win among buyers. 

• Patio: Patio spaces have long been 

popular, but that popularity reached 

new heights during the pandemic. 

When forced to stay at home for long 

periods of time, millions of people 

longed for ways to spend more time 

outdoors without breaking lockdown 

rules. Patios provide outdoor living 

spaces, and 82 percent of buyers indicated 

they wanted a patio with their 

next property. 

• Side-by-side sink: A double or 

side-by-side sink is among the more 

affordable features buyers are looking 

for. At less than $1,000 on average, a 

side-by-sink is an affordable way to 

make a home more appealing to modern 

buyers. 

Modern buyers want a lot out of 

their homes, and sellers can do their 

best to meet those desires while getting 

the most money for their properties.

7 characteristics of modern houses 

Homes contain a variety of components 

that appeal to homeowners with 

different ideas about the perfect place 

to call home. That starts with the style 

of a home. 

Buildings are classified according to 

share components. A Craftsman style 

home will have a covered porch with a 

set of wide base columns, while a Cape 

Cod home is often defined by a gabled 

roof and dormer windows. Modern 

houses, which are sometimes called 

contemporary homes even though the 

terms are not interchangeable, will 

have their own sets of unique characteristics. 

Here’s a look at seven features 

that make modern homes unique. 

1. Minimalist approach: Contemporary 

and modern homes both employ 

an approach that leans toward minimalism, 

including clean design lines. 

Spaces are open and airy without the 

clutter of too many ornate architectural 

details. While modern homes may 

have some curvature to their design, 

contemporary ones are all about an angular 

look. 

2. Neutral color palette: Modern 

homes tend to utilize a neutral color 

palette. Modern homes may use 

“earthy” elements, such as wood and 

brick, in ways that do not look rustic. 

Contemporary homes rely on a color 

palette of black and white with shades 

of gray or other neutral colors. 

3. Geometric shapes: Modern homes 

have strong horizontal and vertical elements 

that showcase geometric shapes 

in their designs. Contemporary homes 

often have flat roofs, while modern 

homes may not. 

4. Large, unadorned windows: Most 

modern homes showcase a lot of natural 

light by utilizing large windows that 

are not covered up by heavy window 

treatments or elements like shutters 

and thick trims. Large windows are the 

focus of the interior and shift attention 

to the view outdoors. 

5. Open floor concept: A hallmark of 

modern interior design, the open concept 

floor plan removes many of the 

walls that tend to separate common areas 

of a home. This helps to foster the 

spread of natural light and maintains 

the emphasis on simplicity of design. 

6. Smart elements: Thanks to the 

proliferation of smart technology, 

smart homes are cropping up with 

greater frequency. While smart devices 

can be included in any home style, 

they tend to feel like they were designed 

specifically for modern homes. 

In a similar vein, modern homes may 

include environmentally friendly elements, 

such as solar panels, upcycled 

materials, added insulation, and energy 

efficient lighting. 

7. Updated kitchen spaces: The clean 

lines and attention to technology and 

open space generally extends to modern 

kitchens. Modern kitchens tend to 

feature efficient, top-tier appliances 

with additional storage and space amenities 

that keep the room from feeling 

cluttered. 

While some may consider modern 

homes austere, many others are right at 

home among their clean lines and airy 

spaces. 

What to know about floor-to-ceiling windows 

Modern homes showcase many dazzling 

features, but perhaps none draw 

as much as instant attention as floor-toceiling 

windows. Often seen in highrise 

apartments that boast panoramic 

city views, floor-to-ceiling windows 

also are right at home in single-family 

dwellings. 

Homeowners considering floorto-ceiling 

windows may have lots of 

questions. The following rundown can 

provide some basic information that 

can help homeowners decide if floorto-ceiling 

windows are right for their 

homes. 

Cost 

Cost is often the primary consideration 

when mulling a home renovation, 

and that’s even more significant 

as the world confronts the rising costs 

associated with inflation. The cost of 

installing floor-to-ceiling windows depends 

on a host of variables, including 

how many windows will be needed and 

where homeowners live. According to 

Modernize®, a service that facilitates 

connections between renovation-minded 

homeowners and local contractors, 

a floor-to-ceiling window wall costs 

somewhere between $700 to $1,600 

per linear foot. Framing and glazing 

will add to those costs. Homeowners 

considering floor-to-ceiling windows 

are urged to receive several estimates 

for the project prior to choosing a contractor. 

Lighting and energy efficiency 

One of the more appealing aspects of 

floor-to-ceiling windows is all the natural 

light they allow in. Of course, all that 

light also can drive up energy costs on 

sunny summer days. One way around 

that is to install energy efficient windows. 

Such windows include extra insulation 

to prevent cool air from escaping 

the home on summer days, which 

can reduce the need to lower the thermostat 

on your air conditioning. A wall 

of glass also can provide less insulation 

against the cold. The extra insulation 

in energy efficient windows also helps 

keep warm air from escaping a home in 

the winter. Energy efficient windows 

may cost more than less efficient alternatives. 

However, over the long haul, 

a wall of less efficient floor-to-ceiling 

windows will likely cost more due to 

excess energy consumption. 

Privacy and fading 

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the 

view floor-to-ceiling windows provide, 

especially in homes surrounded by 

serene natural settings like woods or 

properties that abut waterways. But that 

view outward also provides a view in, 

potentially compromising privacy. All 

that extra exposure to sunlight also can 

cause fabrics to fade over time. Floorto-ceiling 

blinds and shades can protect 

homeowners’ privacy and reduce fading 

on furniture, but this extra feature 

will add to the final cost of the project.

House selling: 

should you ever disclose the 

details of a competing offer? 

If you’re selling your home and 

have several interested buyers, 

find 

out 

if disclosing the amount of a 

competing offer could help you 

get the best price. 

If you’re selling your home privately, 

the decision is yours. You 

can either tell potential buyers 

what ot hers have offered or 

keep this information to yourself. 

Mortgage vocabulary 

explained 

WHO CAN DISCLOSE 

THIS INFORMATION? 

Depending on your province, 

your real estate broker may not 

be allo wed to tell other buyers 

the amount of a competing offer. 

However, they can disclose how 

many other offers are on the 

table. 

WHY SHOULD YOU SHARE 

THIS INFORMATION? 

If you choose to share these figures, 

you may want to do so 

after shortlisting the best bids 

to see if any buyers wish to increase 

their offer. You could also 

remain open through out the entire 

process and provide this information 

upfront to anyone interested 

in 

putting in an 

offer. 

The first option 

may allow you 

to sell your home 

well above the 

asking price. The 

second option 

may reduce the 

number of potential 

buyers 

but increase the 

competi tiveness 

of their offers. 

Getting a mortgage is an essential part 

of buying a property. Here’s a short 

glossary to familiarize you with the most 

important terms. 

• Mortgage loan. A type of loan typically 

obtained from a financial institution to 

purchase a home or other real estate 

property. The property itself serves as 

collateral to secure the loan. Moreover, 

the lender reserves the right to seize 

the property if the payments aren’t 

made. 

• Down payment. An upfront payment 

you make to purchase a property. The 

amount paid is usually a percentage of 

the purchase price and can range from 

as little as five per cent to as much as 20 

per cent. 

• Mortgage loan insurance. If your down 

payment is less than 20 per cent of the 

price of the property, you must buy 

mortgage loan insurance. The insurance 

can be paid upfront or added 

to your monthly payments. 

• Interest rate. A fixed or variable 

percentage is added to the amount 

of your mortgage loan. In short, it’s 

the price you pay to the financial institution 

for taking on your loan.

Whether selling your house on 

your own or with the help of a real 

estate broker, you may sell more 

quickly if you increase your visibility 

on social media. Here are three 

winning strategies. 

1. PERFECT YOUR IMAGE 

Eye-catching photos draw interest 

on social media. Take good quality 

images to show off your 

home’s best features. If you share 

a link to your property, ensure it 

includes a flattering photo. 

2. BE BOLD 

Be creative when posting a video 

or sharing a photo reel about your 

home to increase the chances of 

being seen. For exam ple, add a 

touch of humour to your video or 

picture caption to get people 

talking about your ad. 

3. USE YOUR NETWORK 

Don’t rely on friends and family to 

share your posts without letting 

them know your expectations. Instead, 

kindly ask your net work for 

help rather than waiting for them 

to take the initiative. If your 

friends agree, your ad will be 

seen by their followers. If not, 

don’t be offended. Finally, consider 

joining specific buy and sell groups 

to attract people who’ll be interested 

in your posts. 

Consult a real estate broker to 

help make your property stand out 

online.
