Swap your bungalow for a condo!

Their youngest has just left the nest. Jocelyne and Jean-Luc are in the mood to travel and enjoy some well-deserved R&R. Mowing grass and shoveling snow are not part their retirement dream.

They fall in love with a beautiful downtown condo with magnificent city views, but it costs considerably more than the value of their current home.

The market value of their bungalow is approximately $600,000 and their dream condo costs $700,000. At their age, they are not looking to take on large monthly payments. Rather, they want to take advantage of their good health to travel as much as possible.

Jocelyne and Jean-Luc still have a small mortgage of $50,000. Since they wanted to pay it off quickly, they were paying $900 per month.

Take a look at what Jocelyne and Jean-Luc chose to do after our meeting. They buy the condo using a $550,000 down payment coming from the sale of their bungalow. That leaves them with a new mortgage of $150,000 on their condo. They choose a 10-year term of 6.5*%, amortized over 20 years at a cost of $1111 per month. This way, they can be sure they won't have any larger payments for the next 10 years, and they can easily budget on an established basis. This also allows them to draw up a stable budget permitting them to travel as often as possible, while still enjoying their luxurious condo. No more grass to mow, no more snow to shovel… Total relaxation with a beautiful downtown condo!
