According to CMHC ( Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) in the fourth quarter of 2006 , it looks like the trend for mortgage rates is they have moved slightly lower and looks like they will remain near current levels for the balance of 2006 and into 2007. They are expected to edge higher in the second half of 2007. They also state that mortgage carrying costs will still be increasing due to the rising house prices. This could slow demand for home ownership, especially for the first time buyers.

Well, after the unfortunate accident on the Pitt River bridge on Nov.5th , Sunday morning, many of us Pitt Meadowites and Maple Ridgers will be anticipating our new bridge more so than ever, with the many recent long delays travelling over the bridge over the last few months, with everything from traffic volume, accidents, and the swing portion stuck open, one too many times, I'm sure we're all going to become some of the most patient and understanding folks in the Lower Mainland.......!!!!
