Recorded October 18th, 2008: 4 minutes 29 seconds

Listings are climbing, sales have dropped and it’s difficult to get a mortgage. It really feels like now is NOT a good time to buy real estate. But as Cindy Faulkner of Meridian Coastal Mortgages explains to Dave Peniuk (of Rev N You), now IS a good time to buy. There are deals out there, and there will continue to be some good deals for at least the next six months.

Thanks for stopping by and getting the facts on what is happening in the market today! This is the fifth in a series of five podcasts on the mortgage market in Canada. We’ve got some big plans for more experts to join us on Rev N You, so make sure you’re signed up for our Rev N You with Real Estate newsletter to be certain you don’t miss any of the important market updates!
