As life continues to evolve, so do our ideas of what truly matters. For many, the focus has shifted from chasing bigger and busier to embracing a simpler, more intentional way of living. It’s about prioritizing what brings real value—whether that’s time with loved ones, financial peace of mind, or a home that truly fits your lifestyle. Taking control of spending and making practical choices is the first step toward creating a life that feels fulfilling, not just full.
Imagine a life where you can lower your living costs, embrace a slower lifestyle, and simplify your existence. Now imagine this all while staying in a single family home. For those looking to downsize without the constraints of a condo or townhome, Meadows offers an attractive alternative. With the home ownership model where you own the home and lease the land, buyers can enjoy the benefits of a smaller down payment and the flexibility that comes with it.
What Can I Qualify For: Calculate Your Mortgage Affordability
What can I qualify for?
Before embarking on the search for a new home, it is crucial to have a clear understanding of your financial capacity. Knowing your financial limits helps you set realistic expectations and make informed decisions throughout the home-buying process.
One valuable tool to gain this understanding is the CMHC mortgage calculator. This calculator allows you to input various financial parameters such as your purchase price, down payment, and desired mortgage term to estimate what you can afford in terms of a home purchase. By using this tool, you can assess the potential impact of different financial scenarios and make a well-informed decision about your housing budget.
In addition, Jandel Homes has established relationships with lenders who can provide competitive interest rates for your mortgage. This collaboration ensures that you have access to favorable financing options, potentially saving you money over the long term. By taking advantage of these competitive interest rates, you can optimize your financial resources and make your home purchase more affordable.
With a budget of under $300,000, you might assume that your choices are limited to older houses requiring renovations or condominiums and townhouses. However, at Meadows of Morinville, you can break away from this notion and purchase a new home for under $300k in the Edmonton area.
Here, you have the opportunity to move into a brand-new house with an oversized lot, all for under $300,000. The spacious lots at Meadows of Morinville exceed the average lot within the city of Edmonton, providing you with ample space to create your dream yard.
Each house comes fully landscaped and includes a deck, adding to the appeal and value of your new home. Not only that, but the average distance of 28′ between houses at Meadows of Morinville surpasses the typical 8′ found in the city, allowing for a greater sense of privacy and space.
Enjoy the benefits of a smaller mortgage payment
Opting for a smaller mortgage can have a significant impact on reducing overall stress and granting you the freedom to say yes to other experiences and create lasting memories. A smaller mortgage translates to a lower monthly payment, which can alleviate financial pressure and provide a sense of financial security. With a reduced financial burden, you have more disposable income available to pursue other passions, interests, and experiences that bring joy to your life.
By choosing a smaller mortgage, you can allocate your resources towards activities such as travel, pursuing hobbies, investing in personal growth, or spending quality time with loved ones. When you have extra funds available, you can fully embrace more opportunities. Whether it’s exploring new destinations, participating in recreational activities, or simply cherishing meaningful moments with loved ones. With the freedom from a heavy mortgage burden, you can enjoy these experiences to the fullest.
Moreover, a smaller mortgage can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. With lower monthly payments, you may have flexibility with your career. You can choose a job that aligns more closely with your passions or values, even if it offers a lower salary. This freedom allows you to prioritize personal fulfilment and well-being over solely chasing higher-paying positions.
Additionally, a smaller mortgage can offer peace of mind during unforeseen circumstances or economic downturns. It provides a buffer that can help you weather financial challenges more easily and maintain stability in your life.
