home buy sell south shore lunenburg county nova scotia: Recent Changes in the Real Estate Market - 06/16/11 07:33 AM
Recent Changes in the Real Estate Market in Nova Scotia, Canada
Maximum amortization Periods have dropped from 40 years to 35 years to 30 years. This means larger monthly mortgage payments. As a result, it is more difficult for new buyers to afford a mortgage.

Even with the price drop, Nova Scotia housing is still overvalued by about 7%. This according to Benjamin Tal at a recent address on housing markets & local economic trends.

home buy sell south shore lunenburg county nova scotia: If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is this worth? - 06/12/11 06:14 AM

home buy sell south shore lunenburg county nova scotia: Adding Value Helps Sell - 09/10/10 07:18 AM
It's easy to get caught up in analyzing the return on home improvements when thinking of listing. Don't miss out on the importance of improvements that may not increase the value of the home, but may help sell it. Spruce up the outside, street appeal is key, it's what makes them want to come inside. Make sure the inside smells fresh, is clean and clutter free.
