There is a ribbon-cutting ceremony set to take place today at 12 pm for the newly built Métis housing triplex at 527-12th Street in Brandon, Manitoba. Minister of Housing for the MMF, Will Goodon along with Len Isleifson, MLA for Brandon East are scheduled to be on-hand for the ceremony. From today's press release “Affordable housing allows our Métis Citizens and their families to maintain a good quality of life,” says Minister of Housing for the MMF, Will Goodon. “It helps ensure there is a strong, stable foundation for our Métis children to be raised happy and healthy.” The new triplex will be comprised of three suites, each 1069 square feet. One suite is currently occupied while the other two are expected to be filled in early October. The building is part of larger overall project to supply affordable housing to Métis Citizens based on a combined initiative of the Government of Manitoba’s partnership with the MMF that began in 2013. Overall 5.5 million dollars was allocated over a 5-year span through the Manitoba Housing & Renewal Corporation to help achieve their goals.

Can you afford to purchase the home you really want? Here are some things to consider:. What kind of home do you want? What kind of neighbourhood do you want to live in? What features and characteristics do you need in a home? (Three bedrooms? A large livingroom for entertaining? A backyard big enough for a garden?) What homes currently on the market match that criteria? Are there some properties for sale that are close to what you’re looking for? What are their listing prices? How much, realistically, will it cost to buy one of those homes? How much, realistically, can you expect to get for the sale of your current property? How much of a mortgage will you need? How does that compare to the mortgage you qualify for? What additional costs will you incur in selling your current property and purchasing your new home? (For example, moving, home inspection, repairs and renovations, closing costs, etc.) Chances are, there’s a home on the market that you can afford – and is right for you. Call me today to discuss.
