Financial Skills for the Real World: Housing I
Do you wonder whether it makes more financial sense to rent or buy? Wondering what the true costs of home ownership are? This webinar will show you how to calculate how much house you can truly afford and whether you may be overpaying or getting a great deal. Various CMHC and other freely-available industry reports looking at key metrics will be highlighted so that you can make an informed decision on what will likely be the most expensive purchase of your life.
Learning Outcomes:
• Know where to find and how to use reports and tools for analyzing the housing market.
• Learn how to calculate the price-to-rent and price-to-income ratios.
• Learn about the pros and cons of renting vs. buying.
