fine homes in 905: Housing Market News - 08/17/11 08:49 PM
Well, here we go again. I had sent my monthly newsletter to my clients for the month of August stating that there was a hiccup in the financial market. Yes, there was and most of my clients, as probably everyone else's, locked their wallets and checkbooks up in a vault. Didn't throw away the key, but... Now, things were better last week and some have decided to get back into looking for and purchasing a home. Great. What do I see in the paper this morning? "Eager Buyers Keep Housing Hot". Isn't that the truth? Yes, there are buyers out there … (2 comments)

fine homes in 905: Buyers Representation Agreement - 03/30/11 09:21 AM
As I was driving to my appointment with my buyers this evening, I heard a great commercial. It talked about the Buyer Representation Agreement. That was great for me, because it supported what I try to explain to my buyers at the first meeting. Since I've become a licenced real estate agent, I have known that I should be working only with buyers who sign an agency agreement. Those are the clients that deserve my time and effort. At times, I have become complacent and trusting. I don't want to lose a Buyer by asking them to sign the Agreement. Some … (3 comments)

fine homes in 905: Closing A Real Estate Deal - 03/23/11 08:57 PM
Closing a Real Estate deal, these days, is not an easy task. I have been working with clients for a few months now, and we finally found the perfect home. It started in that neighbourhood, we ventured from it, and then we came back. You may ask, why we ventured, well because the borders for the school were changed, and then changed back after discussions between parents and the school board. This just proves that parents that get involved with their children(s) education can get things done. I kept on top of this information because it was important to my clients.Now, … (0 comments)

fine homes in 905: First Impressions In Real Estate - 03/17/11 08:41 PM
In a hot spring real estate market, even homes that don't give the greatest first impression will sell. As the Spring market starts to cool, the listings that show well will be the ones that sell faster and for a better price. A house that isn't properly prepared may struggle to sell. Staging and preparing a home for sale is more critical now than ever before.While interior decorating concentrates on making people feel more at home in their interior space, the objective of staging is to make the home more marketable inside and outside. Staging usually involves getting rid of clutter … (2 comments)

fine homes in 905: Bank of Canada Says ... - 11/10/10 03:09 PM
The last couple of days I've been getting a lot of updates about the slowdown of the housing market and interest rates. I read the Toronto Star every morning and I have done so for years. My my hubbie got me into it. Guess what I saw, big headlines about "NO BUBBLE BREWING" by Tony Wong. The article goes on to explain why - Canadians have binged on low interest rates, pushing up prices to levels that are now moderately overvalued. Average housing prices are about 11% overvalued, but the market is not experiencing a bubble and is unlikely to suffer … (2 comments)

And for Boomers, that can be a double whammy because many are being sandwiched between caring for their adult children and for their aging parents.A recent survey of Boomers revealed that four-in-ten who care for both children and parents say they have been forced to reduce the amount they're investing for retirement, one-quarter say they have … (2 comments)
