Santa is being good to us this Christmas in regards to mortgage rates!
Canadians were expecting an increase in mortgage rates this past week, however the variable rates are still available as low as 2.25%.
The long term fixed rates have gone up about 20 basis points......still very affordable for buyers.
Look at our next newsletter for a more in-depth look at mortgage rate!
We are looking forward to a very HOT market in January to kick off the New Year!

TECHNOLOGY.....
Recently The Karen Paul Team initiated QR codes as part of our advertising program on our signs, newspaper advertising, and feature sheets.
DID YOU KNOW? In Canada there are 21,455,000 cellphones in use which equates to .64 phones per person. Everyday there is a new survey telling us that there is an ever increasing number of people addicted to the cell phone usage.
Noteably one current survey from Handmark suggests that 40% of people are using mobile devices to follow New/Events.
MY POINT: Technology is moving at a very fast pace; every day we are relying more and more on our smartphones, Ipads, Blackberry's and Iphones.....therefore the logical move for the Karen Paul Team is to advertise your properties on these fast moving/ever up to date platforms.
DO YOU KNOW WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE?
Mark Zuckerberg

Reid Hoffman
Social media is taking over.....click on the links above and follow me for up to date information on the market, trends, listings and more.
Getting to that magic and wonderful day, don't forget that little gift for someone who needs it the most.

Market Update
As fall shifts to winter our housing market becomes depleted in listings. Our Buyers are still searching for that perfect town home/detached or perhaps just an investment property.
For those who love statistics; it takes 31 days on average to sell a home; average price in Burlington is $340,000. Town homes have increased in value by 2% over the last year because of the ease of lifestyle.
The "GO" train has stepped up its service in Burlington with three stops; Aldershot, Fairview, Appleby. Transportation has become mindless to and from Southern Ontario.
New homes in this price range still sell with line ups on opening day and sold out in weeks. Those first time buyers want to desperately invest.
