Testimonials

Love Real Estate Group proved an invaluable help when helping us through the maze of buying a new home, especially when for us it was our 1st home in a new country. No problem was too big and their fun approachable demeanours meant that the whole process was a lot less stressful than it might’ve otherwise been.

My wife and I bought a house through Love Real Estate Group and we are very happy with the entire process. They are thorough, honest, diligent and hard working. It was easy to discuss various options with them and we felt comfortable at all times working with them. We’ve since recommended them to friends and will continue to do so.

INCREASED MINIMUM DOWN PAYMENTS FOR BC HOMES OF MORE THAT $500K The new down payment rules are now in effect for those purchasing BC homes over $500K. Up to $500K a buyer is required to have a 5% down payment. On purchases over that price, the buyer will be required to put down 10% of the amount over $500k.

For example: on the purchase of a $700k home. 5% of $500k is $25k plus 10% of the extra $200k is $20k for a total minimum down payment of $45k. That’s up $10k from the previous rules.

The intent is to prevent buyers from taking on more debt than they can afford.
