    What Should You Do With Your Mortgage? Interest Rates Are Changing!

In East Meets West, we (Steve Zalunardo and Hussein Kabani) let you in on our conversation - most would probably call it a debate with the way we talk to one another. We share our very different stories of how we got started in real estate and go on explaining where we are heading.  

    In episode 34 of the East Meets West real estate podcast:

    We talk about the Canadian banks looking to drop interest rates (which is great news for buyers). We currently see fixed rates sitting lower than variable which can only indicate that variable will be dropping soon. We also touch on mindset, Hussein recently went on vacation, and as always we discuss our week in real estate.
