8 considerations for Sellers… - 07/24/08 10:33 PM
Understanding what is important to a buyer can provide insights for the marketing of a home for sale.
When deciding whether to purchase a particular home a buyer will typically consider the following factors (in order of importance):
1. Price - no surprise here. 2. The type of home. 3. Privacy from neighbours. 4. Parking facilities - garage. 5. Condition - work required. 6. The age of the home. 7. A large backyard - lot. 8. A view. Of course this list isn't exhaustive, neither is it secret.
What insights might this provide for a seller? More here [...]

A personal tribute to "My Hero"... - 07/14/08 02:35 AM
Today is Monday, July 14, 2008. Twenty eight years ago quite early in the morning of Monday, July 14, 1980, I sat on the south of Lakeshore Blvd at the base of Walkers Line in Burlington, Ontario.
In full view was an image now indelibly cast in my memory of this determined young man running in a double-step and skip style suited for his prosthetic leg, on his way from Oakville to Hamilton.
All of a sudden I was completely overcome by uncontrollable emotions that I had never quite experienced before. I was only one of a few who were there to … (0 comments)

What to consider about Defects: the Disclosure and Due Diligence… - 07/13/08 08:00 PM
Defects: the Disclosure and Due Diligence...
Providing misleading information or concealing known information during a home sale would make a homeowner highly susceptible to lawsuits, and it happens.
A disclosure statement is a statement in which the sellers reveal to potential buyers (whether the buyer asks or not) specific information about the condition or other aspects of real property that would affect the property's value or desirability.
Patently obvious defective conditions ("patent" defects) in a home that must be reported are those, known, openly exposed, and easily found on inspection.
In most jurisdictions the process of listing a home requires us … (1 comments)

"Market activity offers awaited relief for homebuyers" - 07/04/08 01:28 AM
This afternoon the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver issued a press release entitled:
"Market activity offers awaited relief for homebuyers"
Well it's now official, "Increased property listings and moderating home prices have eased the Greater Vancouver housing market into a buyer's phase". (...as in buyers market)
Every market, high or low, has its opportunities, and right now Sellers are still of the mindset that their property will sell for more than it will, and it won't!
In the past few months, and by being honest with potential Sellers, I have lost a number of listings and expect this to … (0 comments)

Post Canada Day... - 07/02/08 11:51 AM
Canada Day was celebrated in the usual way with parades, picnics, parties, and of course pyrotechnics.
Although Canada actually became independent from Great Britain in 1867, this party only started in 1879, and was intermittent thereafter until becoming mainstream in 1958.
This year the Provincial Government of British Columbia decided to rain on our national parade by adding a carbon tax on all fossil fuels effective July 1st. What lousy timing! The bottom-line is that today we pay more at the pump.
For my 40th Canada Day it seemed appropriate to paint my face red to celebrate Canada Day. What makes … (0 comments)
