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.
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.
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.
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.
Whatever you decide, consulting
a professional will help make
your sale successful.
