PRE-LISTING HOUSE INSPECTION WELL & SEPTIC TESTING Buyers and Sellers have evolved into savvy people thanks to our ever changing industry, and thanks to the internet which give us information at our fingertips at a click of a button. When I first got into real estate back in 1987, house inspections were rarely performed, at least where I was living. It was very rare to even see a lockbox on the property. Back then I had to travel to each office prior to showing the properties to get each key for the houses I was showing. After I showed the properties to my clients, I then had to return them to each individual brokerage office. This made it very inconvenient and raestricted other agents from showing the proeprty, as they had to wait until the keys were returned. Having lockboxes installe...

For those of you who have lived through the renovation process of a kitchen, in particular, you know how frustarting it can be… not to mention the inconvenience of not havig a sink or stove. Resorting to having to wash dishes in the laundry tub (thank goodness it is on the main level) and relying on either a hot plate, toaster oven or microwave to cook with, for 5 people!! The company I contracted with instructed his sub conractor(in my presence) to leave the sink in as long as possible, and also the stove as I have 3 young children here and it would be helpful to me, the paying customer, to have some convenience for as long as possible expecially over the weekend when no work would be done. But of course, subcontractor have a mind of their own, and lo and behold, last Friday morning he...

  Second-Best Year on Record for Sales January 5, 2012 -- Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,718 transactions through the TorontoMLS® system in December 2011. The December result capped off the second-best year on record under the current Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) boundaries. Total sales for 2011 amounted to 89,347 – up four per cent in comparison to 2010. “Low borrowing costs kept Buyers confident in their ability to comfortably cover their mortgage payments along with other major housing costs,” said TREB President Richard Silver. “If Buyers had not been constrained by a shortage of listings over the past 12 months, we would have been flirting with a new sales record in the Greater Toronto Area,” added Silver. The average selling price in December was $451,436 – up four per ...

Typically, the real estate activity in the month of December slows down as people are focused on preparing for the holidays, and gest a jump start again in early January. However, this year has not been as typical. The maket has remained brisk and properties are selling quickly, especially those priced at fair market value, and that show well. Here are the recent sold statistics for the Streetsville neighbourhood.                      November 15, 2011 to December 29, 2011   Street Name Abbr List Price Type Style Bedrooms Sold Date Maldaver Ave $429,000 Detached Bungalow 3 11/15/2011 Vista Blvd $449,000 Detached Bungalow 3 11/17/2011 Thomas St $459,800 Detached Bungalow 3 11/17/2011 Hargood Pl $469,000 Detached 2-Storey 3 12/23/2011 Old Station Rd $500,000 Detached 2-Storey 3 11/19/2011...

As a first time home buyer, you may view obtaining a mortgage pre-approval as detrimental to your credit. But, is it really half as bad as you think? Let’s first examine some common first time home buyers reasons not to obtain a mortgage pre-approval: 1. They think checking credit is always bad. 2. They think a mortgage pre-approval is a waste of time. 3. Family and friends recommend finding a really nice house first and then seek a mortgage.   But, here is the real truth about a mortgage pre-approval and its benefits to first time home buyers. 1. Checking credit before making a major purchase may not always be bad. It can actually put you in the know. What if errors are on your credit profile? Wouldn’t you like to know so that you can make the necessary corrections? 2. Mortgages rates ...

  Couple of months ago, Toronto Real Estate Board brought a big change in mls search. Earlier It used to be disctrict wise search but that is no longer available.

  Ontario government has taken off 10% off the electricity bill – including electricity costs, regulatory charges, the debt retirement charge and taxes.  This is due to the fact that Ontario’s long term energy plan is moving our province to clean sources of power while shutting down coal plants that pollute the air we breathe. Upgrading and modernizing our infrastructure is helping to provide reliable power to our homes and businesses. You will be receiving the Ontario clean energy benefits on every bill for the next five years as our province continues to build our energy future.

The most important factor in purchasing an investment condo used to be how significant the monthly surplus of cash flow was. In other words, the difference between your monthly carrying costs (mortgage, condo fees and property taxes) and the rent you were receiving. Today this difference is still important but almost always works out to a negative number. Therefore, today, the most significant factor when looking at an investment condo is the appreciation factor. The first rule of thumb is that the safest place to invest in a condo is in the downtown...

Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself for in the inner man dwells the truth.- St. Augustine. Life can feel unkind sometimes, We do almost everything within our power and things still don’t work out. Why is this so?That’s a question we often don’t know the answer to, but sometimes if we are patient, life has a way of unfolding itself to us.   The question is... When things don’t go exactly as planned, what do you do? Do you…..pout      Do you....cry    Do you…..scream  Do you….stay calm    The choice is yours!Choose and choose well! My thought: Search deep within and focus on improving instead of looking externally to blame others. Life is an ongoing learning process of continually improving one’s self.   Remember:  Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself for in the inner man dwells t...
