Love how transparent you are! Thanks for sharing the process and numbers!
So glad you found it helpful 🤍🤍
They definitely need to teach this in school. We don't equip students with this type of knowledge and many of them don't even know what a mortgage is! So much has changed since the first condo I bought and this time, we had around 1 week's notice for closing (presale). STRESS. Thank you for sharing your experience Raisa, I know it will help others!💕
Thanks Lauren 🤍 Agree this should definitely be taught in school!
Congrats again! I love the transparency I Can’t wait for the new net worth update .
Will try to do one this year!! 😄
This is so informative. I think I'm going to be in a similar situation as you soon, so it's nice to hear how the process looks and how much I should expect to invest into it. Thank you for your transparency and for acknowledging how many stupid questions there will be!
Side note - I'm originally from Mississauga too and moved the Victoria, BC so I was shook that you're from there!
Omg I visited Victoria a few weeks ago and it’s so beautiful there 😍 Wishing you luck on your home buying journey 🤍
Loved this video!! I’m also in Vancouver and it’s so insane how much rent is right now 🫣
Thank you! It’s crazy plus cost of living is sky high 😩
Congrats on the home purchase and thanks so much for sharing some of the details! I am curious, how did you factor in the opportunity cost (ability to invest the money you otherwise had to use to pay off the home), maintenance costs, projected HOA expense changes over time?
I’ll do a follow up video talking about this!
Congratulations, the video was very informative. What is the mortgage calculator that you used?
My mortgage broker sent it to me, I’ll see if I can add a link to it in the description!
Congrats on the home purchase! 🎉 My partner and I recently bought a condo too (in Ottawa)! Do you think this will be your forever home? Would also love to see an apartment tour at some point, if you're interested in filming one. 😊 I love seeing how other people decorate!
Hmm good question, not sure but we love it here for now in our current stage of life! Congrats on your new home 🤍
Good move, moving expenses would have been a few thousand plus all the hassle. Congrats on your first home!
Thank you!
Raisa, you mentioned Olympic Village but I'm just trying to get a sense of what you purchased to compare to where we are out near UBC (relocated from Ontario - Guelph, ON - so moved from SW Ontario as well but in summer 2022). So, you purchased a 1 br condo around probably 700 sq ft from the sounds of it. And this is Olympic Village or False Creek Leasehold land? Can you give the general range you pay for monthly strata fees? Even a very rough range but I'm guessing $550 or $600? I'm just trying to gauge to compare apples to apples to things where we are even though we are also in Vancouver. It's pretty common for the housing market to have it's own microcosm of sorts around a university. Usually less volatile but a bit higher due to supply issues. Our money is making money as we are much older and needing to purchase and pay off in less than 10 years. Also, highly recommend Karl's Mortgage Calculator. This is the best I've seen online and completely free. (It does not have an app that I am aware of, it's just a website). I'm just a fan of it (and not affiliated in any form or manner or anything else; heck, I don't have any clue who Karl even is lol) versus any bank or other site related calculators.

Also, thanks for sharing everything you did! I appreciate it!
Hi Heidi! We bought just a few blocks from Yaletown, around 680sq ft. Strata fees around $550 :) I hope this helps!
Did you have to transfer your money from your RRSP to an FHSA? If so, how do you do that directly/without penalty costs?
I did! To do it without penalty, you need to make sure you open an FHSA account if you don’t already have one - I used Wealthsimple. I also had my RRSP with Wealthsimple so I just transferred the funds directly. During tax time, they send you a T slip that indicates to the govt that you moved the money from RRSP to FHSA to buy your first home. I recommend doing a quick google search but it was pretty seamless for me!
In how many years you plan to pay it fully?
I think we’re on a 25 yr amortization!
@@raisamartin gosh that’s long
I knooow 🫠
Size of the condo?
680!
