Mortgage Rates are down again temporarily in Ottawa! - March 29, 2011

Mortgage rates are suddenly down again for a short period - if you can close on a property in the next 45 to 60 days you could take advantage of some amazing rates that are currently available.

Despite all the hoopla about mortgage rates going up they are suddenly down again and apparently going to stay down for the next while.  So much so that some lenders are offering some extremely great rates if you have a quick close coming on within the next 45 to 60 days.  Especially the variable rates which are at prime minus 75 points and less and also some of the 3 and 4 year fixed rates are really great! 

Canada's Best Places to Live 2011 - Ottawa is #1 again according to Money Sense Magazine

For the second year in a row, Ottawa-Gatineau takes the top spot in the rankings at Money Sense Magazine. What does it have that other cities don’t? In a word, consistency. It does not rank particularly high in any individual category but it comes in above average across the board. It has jobs, accessible doctors, low crime, and household incomes and real estate are not drastically misaligned. There is a wealth of museums and galleries keep the culture-lover occupied, and the hostile winters are balanced out by beautiful summers.

Don't have to tell us that!
