homes west toronto: Is the SELLER scoring the best deal? - 02/20/12 03:24 PM
The lack of homes for sale continues into the 2012 spring real estate market in Toronto. Older homes do present a challenge when you want the property but may be forced by competition to waive your Home Inspection Condition. My personal advice is to endure a few sales and bidding cycles; have a home inspector standing by who can assist in a walk through. With any older home they can only report on what can be seen. They are not permitted to open any walls or drill any holes. That is why thermal imaging is so vital. A simple 20-item home … (0 comments)

New and updated Mortgage Qualification tools may have some buyers pushed out of the Toronto condo and housing market regardless of the interest rates. You could be affected if you are;
a) Self employed b) Condo Purchasers need to include 100% of Maintenence Fee. Stated-income products have become very popular during this housing boom, allowing more banks to get involved in loaning to the selfemployed.
"These are individuals that are self-employed, have great credit and won't be able to validate their ability to pay if they are not showing their income on their notice of assessment," said one … (0 comments)

homes west toronto: You need to Pay attention to the Detales - 09/10/11 07:23 PM
What ever one does should be done thoroughly
Origin The idiom "the devil is in the details" derives from the earlier phrase, "God is in the detail;" expressing the idea that whatever one does should be done thoroughly; i.e. details are important.[1] This original idiom has been attributed to a number of different individuals, most notably to German-born architectLudwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) by The New York Times in Mies' 1969 obituary, however it is generally accepted to not have originated with him. The expression also appears to have been a favorite of German art historian Aby Warburg(1866–1929), though Warburg's biographer, E.M. Gombrich, … (4 comments)

Remember when your Dad said "Always buy Real Estate! It never goes down"
Well, This is the second generation in North American that is observing the endless slide of their equity from their homes and potentially retirement funds. I know that in Canada, from the statistics that I have read, most people of retirement age have no addition income nest eggs other than their primary residence. So what changed? What changed the dynamic about buying a house and living debt free in North America? Have our houses become chequing accounts for revolving Home Equity Lines of Credit [HELOC]? This … (4 comments)

http://www.moneyville.ca/article/1013066--caught-in-a-bidding-war-know-the-rules Most sellers will instruct their agent to tell this anxious buyer to wait until the proper time period. However, if the seller wants to consider the offer, their agent will then change the information on the MLS listing immediately to notify every other agent that the rules have changed, and that offers can be submitted that evening. The agent will also likely call every other agent who … (2 comments)
