There’s no such thing as an overall “best rate” for a mortgage. Each variation has advantages that will help different clients.
Find the mortgage that fits like a glove
One question that I often get from clients is: “What is your best rate?”
M
y response is, it’s not that simple and depends on what is best for them. What I mean by that is while the rate discussion is important, there are other considerations that makes the mortgage a right fit. Some of these considerations include the different prepayment options and charges that may apply. This often depends on how long you are planning to live in the new home and whether you plan to change your term before it expires. For the prepayment charge, it could be three months interest or more. If you take out another mortgage, can you reduce or eliminate the prepayment charge by blending the rate into a new mortgage? Another common question I receive is fixed versus variable rate, especially with interest rates still at an all-time low. Variable-rate mortgages are not for everyone, as the rate can fluctuate, meaning your payment will stay the same but the amount going to pay down your mortgage will change, so this may impact the amount of time it takes until you pay off your mortgage. Peace of mind is important and you don’t want your mortgage costs keeping you up at night. If you have a variable-rate mortgage, you may want to consider increasing your mortgage payment.
BMO Bank of Montreal
It helps protect you in case interest rates begin to increase; you need to ensure the interest portion of your payment is still covered. A fixed-rate mortgage makes sense for people who do not like surprises. So, for the duration of your mortgage, your payment will be the same and you will know how much you will pay off over the term of your mortgage. It is les maintenance and less stress and you can still take advantage of pre-paying your mortgage and having an impact on your overall interest cost. There are a lot of different factors to consider. Take the time to discuss your situation with a mortgage specialist who can help you navigate the home-buying process – you don’t want any surprises with the mortgage product you choose. And this way you’ll have the right mortgage and can then determine what the best rate is. Steven Soule is the area mortgage specialist for BMO Bank of Montreal.

10Energy Saving Tips for this Hot Summer Replace your outdated air conditioning unit: If you live in a home that is over 20 years old, it may be time to consider purchasing a new unit that is more energy efficient. Even if you have lived in your home for a shorter period, but live in extreme climate areas, such as desert communities, also consider replacing your unit. Look for units that cost less to run and have energy approved program standards. This can differ depending on your geographic location.

Alternate methods of cooking: Instead of using your oven everyday, consider using your microwave or grilling outside this summer. Heating your oven up daily adds more heat to your interiors and therefore requires your air conditioning cooling system to work harder and longer. If you do need to use your oven, consider baking in the morning hours when your air conditioning may not need to be used and its cooler outside.
3
Automate your thermostat: If you are still using a manual thermostat to adjust the air conditioning in your home, consider replacing with an
automatic one that can be programmed to keep your home warmer when you are not home. Then in turn, you can program it to come on before the family gets home.
4
Keep the hot sun out of your home: When leaving your home, or in times of the day when the sun is at its hottest, pull your window treatments closed to block out warm rays. Your interior spaces will feel cooler and your air conditioner won’t work as hard.
5
Give your air conditioning a break: Using a ceiling fan to move air around in your home instead of air conditioning can give a much needed break to your air conditioning. Save energy and cool your space down for less money with the use of oscillating room and ceiling fans.
6
Take cooler and shorter showers: When taking a shower in your home, turn down the temperature of the hot water to save energy. Decrease the duration of how long you stay in the shower to save on your hot water tank usage. Consider installing a tankless water heater to heat water only when needed, as opposed to an entire tank, which sits in your garage, basement or utility space.

While we all look forward to the summer months for warmer weather, and enjoying the great summer nights, higher energy bills are not welcomed. Whether you are running your air conditioning more often, using more water to take showers, or you’re using more electricity to run fans to get a cool breeze, energy saving tips can help your pocket and the Earth. This summer before you crank down the air conditioning another 10 degrees, look to these energy saving tips to help you through this hot summer, your pocket will thank you!
5
Install more energy efficient light bulbs: Change out your current incandescent bulbs to more efficient ones, for example: compact fluorescent bulbs use less energy to use as well as emit a brighter light. They also last longer, and therefore need to be replaced less often, in turn saving you money.

Have you air conditioning unit serviced regularly: Ensure that you keep your air filters changed regularly per the manufacturers directions, and have a professional HVAC maintenance person service your unit every year. This will help your investment keep working properly for years into the future, while saving you money now.
9
Ensure your air conditioning pipes are sealed: Examine the pipes, and connections, as well as vents in your home to ensure proper sealing and caulking between the connections. What’s the point in cooling your home, if half of the cool air is cooling the attic? If you’re not familiar with how to do this, have the HVAC maintenance person help you.
10
Spend more time outside of your home: Summertime is a perfect excuse to get out and enjoy it! From swimming in community pools to having a picnic or getting exercise outdoors, spending less time in your house will help your energy consumption bill. While you can’t spend every minute outdoors, the summer weather should push you to the outdoors.
Saving energy this summer shouldn’t be a major challenge. Use these 10 helpful energy saving tips to protect your wallet, save the Earth and keep you and your family cool this summer. There are hundreds of ways to save energy, do your part in making this summer enjoyable for all, and by keeping your energy consumption to minimum levels to give your pocket a break too!

Liz’ Tips
HOMEFINDER WEEKLY Reference Guide Inc. Brockville/Leeds & Grenville 1.877.935.7503 www.homefinderweekly.com
June 20th to July 4th, 2013
The relation of mood & colour
The office doesn’t have a color scheme? The walls and carpet features a shade of dirty Liz’ Tips beige known as “I-have-no-hope”? By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind While dirty beige probably can’t be held completely accountable for the mass depression that permeates an office, it makes one wonder: was it a coincidence that while working in these dank and colourless surroundings, the overall mood was negative and blah?
Frank H. Mahnke, an environmental designer based in Geneva and San Diego and one of the world’s leading color consultants, would say it was no coincidence at all. “The public underestimates the impact color has on emotional states at home, at school, in workplaces, and in health-care facilities,” he says. Even many architects and interior designers, he adds, haven’t been trained in the psychological and physiological effects of color.
Alternative health practitioners, though, have long been attuned to the power of color. Their mission might not sound as technical as Mahnke’s, but they also believe that color can affect a person’s state of mind and perhaps even his or her health. Like aromatherapy, color awareness work teaches people to use an often-overlooked aspect of their senses to promote well-being.
What’s your favorite color?
Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment Brockville, Ontario
While our perception of warm and cool colors is thought to be universal, some quirks of color psychology are particular to each individual. According to specialists, we react to color by traveling a twisty path through our physical sensations, the collective unconscious, cultural norms, and finally, our specific personal history with a certain color. We may find white houses to be clean and fresh because we grew up in one, for instance, or find them sterile and dull for the same reason.
Your Color Horoscope
A preference for a certain color reveals much about your inner desires, according to the theories of German color psychologist Heinrich Frieling. To learn what color has to tell you, use this chart and choose the shade you find most appealing. The text that matches that color shows qualities you have or would like more of in your life.
Turquoise. Insight, progressive thinking, healing. Red. Self-motivation, leadership, generosity.
Chartreuse. Flexibility, growth, expansion.
Pink. Support, nurturance. sympathetic understanding. Black. Self-sufficiency, individualism, protection.
Burgundy. Adventure, emotional play and expression. Green. Clear perception, self-recognition, compassion. Orange. Quick-thinking, intuition, independence. Yellow. Communication, observation, analysis. Blue. Clear thinking, diligence, organization. Some innovative teachers draw on ancient Tibetan theories to explain the colors of the meditation room: midnight blue to calm the mind, with vertical lines of deep red to wake up the consciousness. The colors are a silent presence designed to move observers to states of compassion and wisdom.
While no one’s claiming that color can cure cancer, science has established that color isn’t just pretty—it’s a mood-changing, blood-pressurealtering phenomenon. Its most important use is for relaxation and since 75 percent or more of illnesses are the result of stress, relaxing can help prevent them.
Mint. Self-healing, tranquility, time-out.
Indigo. Self-reliance, clear and holistic thought. White. Cleansing, protective, simplification.
Gray. Need a vacation, acute sensibility, calming. Purple. Artistry, spirituality, culture.
Yellow Orange. Life-promoting creativity, quickness.
If you’re not happy with your office or home surroundings? Maybe you need to rethink the colour?
To figure out what this means to the body, psychology researchers have conducted experiments in which red, blue, and white lights were flashed at research subjects. When subjects looked at the red light, their blood pressure rose, as did breathing rates, the amount of sweat on palms, and the frequency of eyeblinks. When subjects looked at blue light, their blood pressure dropped, as did the amount of blinking and breathing. In short, they mellowed.
It has since been proposed that the longer-wavelength colors—generally the “warm” colors like red, orange, and yellow—rev us up, while the “cooler colors,” which have shorter wavelengths, calm us down. It makes sense: This is why red is considered an aggressive, lively color and why the matador waves a red cape in front of the bull. As for the cool colors, I now understand the idea behind the “green room” where people at television studios wait before going on camera: It eases anxiety.
