Canada GDP shows unexpected strength, set to boost rate hike chances

 

This article from Yahoo Finance Canada, talks about potential interest rate hikes.  I have seen the bond rate start to raise over the last couple of days.  This will typically lead to banks moving interest rates up soon.  Every year, I also notice an end of year raising of rates by the banks.

If you, or someone you know, plans to purchase in the next 90 to 120 days, give me a call to secure an interest rate.  There is not extra fee and you can at least know you have hedged your bets for the future...

Here is the article Intro...

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's economy grew by a greater than expected 0.2 percent in July, Statistics Canada data indicated on Friday, a development set to cement market expectations of another interest rate increase next month.

Analysts in a Reuters poll had forecast 0.1 percent growth from June. Twelve of the 20 sectors gained, led by manufacturing, wholesale trade and utilities.

The Bank of Canada, which this month forecast temporary factors would weigh on third-quarter GDP, on Thursday pledged to raise rates gradually and keep a close watch on economic data. The next fixed interest rate decision is on Oct 24.

8 Mistakes Home Buyers Make When Arranging Mortgage Financing

 

Over my career, I have noticed some mistakes that home buyers have made.  I gave this presentation a couple of months ago and was encouraged create a video.

I ended up creating a video series.  8 videos in total, the first video summarizes the 8 mistakes that people make.  The next series of videos goes into a little more details about each separately.

I would love to get your opinion and hear your feedback.

Watch the videos and let me know what you think!

Matthew Playing with the Senior Volleyball Team

 

Matthew was really excited to tryout and be picked as the setter for his senior volleyball team at Bishop Carroll High School.

They played an early tournament at the University of Calgary, basically a prospects tourney.  We won a few and lost a few, but it's early in the season and the boys are just getting to know each other.

One thing I noticed about this team is that they have heart.  No matter the score, they play hard to the end and don't give up.  During the U of C tournament, they played against Western's Senior Team (probably one of the top ranked teams in the tournament). 

The Carroll boys were down 17 - 23 at the end of the second game and played with heart.  They brought the score to 23-25.  Not a win, but they played with their heads held high the whole game.  I'm really looking forward to this coming season!

Allison with the U of C Row Team

 

Allison tried out for and has been rowing with the U of C row team since January of this year.  Most of her practices start before the sun rises.  We are so proud of Allison, she's taking life by the horns.  She gives 100% for everything she does, she's learning so much, trying new things, creating lifelong friendships and having fun.

This picture is of Allison (orange socks) and her team proudly wearing their gold metals.  They raced in a quad boat and won the Novice race on the last weekend in September.

Lily and I were there to cheer Allison and all of the U of C Teams that raced that day.
