New Westminster in a Nutshell

A Fresh New Style at Modena
Written by Tracey for the New Home Buyers Guide of Greater Vancouver 2008.
New Westminster resides along the north bank of the Fraser River and is easily accessible by transit (New West has five SkyTrain stations) and several major highways including Highway 1. New West’s unique heritage character further enhances the City’s liveability and attractiveness for businesses and recently has seen rapid residential development. This has attracted young homebuyers, couples and empty nesters, who are also drawn to New Westminster’s relatively affordable housing prices and liveability.

Reverse Mortgages Gets a New Player

Seniors Money Canada has announced that it is expanding its reversemortgage operations into Western Canada this month, in direct competition with veteran the Canadian Home Income Proram, which was founded in Vancouver. “The extended network will enable the company to serve the financial needs of more than 4.3 million Canadians, 60 years and older,” Nick DiRenzo, president and CEO of Seniors Money Canada, said.

There are more than 2,351,000 homes owned by those 60-plus, and over 60 per cent are mortagge free, he noted. The amount seniors can borrow depends on their age and the appraised value of their home. Seniors Money Canada will lend on a scale of up to 15 per cent of the home’s value for someone at age 60 and up to 45 per cent at age 90. The variable interest rate is 7.25 per cent.
