Leah Zlatkin featured in CMP Magazine: ‘Home listings surge across Canada’

Mortgage broker Leah Zlatkin noted that the current environment allows buyers to negotiate price adjustments, request seller concessions, and include protective conditions such as home inspections or financing clauses in their offers.

Zlatkin also advised caution regarding mortgage choices: “Economic fluctuations can trigger interest rate volatility, potentially swinging rates in either direction. This inherent unpredictability makes variable rate mortgages a considerable gamble. Given this economic climate and to best manage risk, I generally advise homebuyers to favour short-term fixed-rate mortgages.”
