I talk about the word doomscrolling and make some searches in dictionaries, in a linguistics corpus, and in Google advanced search to try to get an idea of when it first started being used. I end with a brief etymology of the very old word, doom itself.Merriam-Webster: Words We're Watching“On ‘Doomsurfing' and ‘Doomscrolling'” https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/doomsurfing-doomscrolling-words-were-watchingOED https://www.oed.com/NOW Corpus (News on the Web) https://www.english-corpora.org/now/The Decibel “The Problems with the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive” https://www.theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/the-decibel/article-the-problems-with-the-first-time-home-buyers-incentive/
In 2019, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised to help millennials hoping to buy a first home with a new program, called the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive. It was supposed to help 100,000 Canadians buy their first home but, according to real estate professionals, the program was doomed from the start.To understand what has gone wrong, economics reporter Matt Lundy crunched the numbers. He explains why the program has fallen short of its goal and how it is failing to address the real problem in real estate.Questions? Comments? Ideas? Email us at thedecibel@globeandmail.com
Have you heard of anyone you know using the First Time Home Buyer Incentive program?As a mortgage broker, I can say that it's pretty rare. Today on the “Investment Property Income” podcast, we talk about the recent report on the First Time Home Buyer Incentive, and what could be done to make it better.
Today we get to chat again with Jen Robertson, from Royal LePage NRC, and I actually got really excited during our discussion... for three reasons. First, Jen is awesome! She really knows her stuff, and she's just plain fun to talk with. We had a great time having her on the show. Second, I got to learn something new. As long as I've been in the business, there's always more to learn, and that always gets me excited. Lastly, what I learned about... the Niagara Homeownership Program. I was not aware of the forgivable loan that the Niagara Region has in place for first time home buyers. It's a local incentive only offered by the Niagara Region, for area residents. It's a replacement for the federally offered First Time Home Buyer Incentive. Unlike the federal program, this doesn't have to be repaid... under the right circumstances. And it's just over $23,000 of FREE money!! What's crazy is that only a local would know this. Which just goes to demonstrate the importance of working with a local realtor. They truly know what's available to their clients in that particular area. I mean, I'd be pretty happy if somebody gave $23,000. Learn all the details from Jen, on today's episode of the “Investment Property Income” podcast.

How would you like the government has your home ownership partner? This week the Canadian government announced a new program that as far as I know is the first of its kind in the world. The measure would make it easier for first time home buyers with household incomes less than $120,000 per year to buy a home. But in this case, the government would register a lien against the equity in the home, and not just the debt. Under the program, the buyer would bring a 5% downpayment in the form of equity. This is the same as the ratio loan currently offered by our federally owned mortgage insurer. The Incentive would allow eligible first-time home buyers who have the minimum down payment for an insured mortgage to apply to finance a portion of their home purchase through a shared equity mortgage with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). It is expected that approximately 100,000 first-time home buyers would be able to benefit from the Incentive over the next three years. Since no ongoing payments would be required with the Incentive, Canadian families would have lower monthly mortgage payments. For example, if a borrower purchases a new $400,000 home with a 5 per cent down payment and a 10 per cent CMHC shared equity mortgage ($40,000), the borrower’s total mortgage size would be reduced from $380,000 to $340,000, reducing the borrower’s monthly mortgage costs by as much as $228 per month. Terms and conditions for the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive would be released by CMHC. CMHC would offer qualified first-time home buyers a 10 per cent shared equity mortgage for a newly constructed home or a 5 per cent shared equity mortgage for an existing home. This larger shared equity mortgage for newly constructed homes could help encourage the home construction needed to address some of the housing supply shortages in Canada, particularly in our largest cities. The terms of the announcement are not completely clear. From what I understand, Functionally, it's more like an almost interest-free loan — one where the repayment plan doesn't require any payback until years in the future. The Government budget document is far from clear on how much the buyer would owe; is it the same dollar amount the CMHC provided up front, or does the bill go up based on how much the house has appreciated in value? Government officials say details of the plan will be hashed out in the coming months. I really don’t know how I would feel about having the government own a portion of my home. In my case, I am not eligible for this program because I’m not a first time home buyer.
