My husband and I are in the process of looking to buy our first home and save the 5% down payment (in Ontario, Canada) - I have recently been given the opportunity to obtain a new job - the very same career choice, doing the same similar duties, simply at a much larger rate of pay and closer to home. I have been at my current job for over a year now (after finishing Mat.Leave) and wanted to know if I should stick at my current job, apply for a mortgage pre-approval and THEN change locations or do it now and use the higher salary as a tool to better qualify us? Will the time spent at a job be a deciding factor? I do not want to lose the opportunity for a higher salary, however, do not want to sacrifice getting a pre-approval because I just started a new job.
Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks!
