oakville homes: Meet My New Clients Bill & Sue - 11/25/11 06:13 PM
Bill and Sue** are a typical young Oakville couple.  They both have great but demanding  jobs and they love to spend their spare time enjoying Oakville restaurants and theatre with their friends. 
When they bought their fixer upper home, Bill and Sue had some great renovation ideas, but Bill just didn't have the time necessary to complete all of their "projects."
Sue is becoming a tad impatient and she is tired of waiting for Bill to repair even the simplest tasks like the leaky taps.  Sue has the bug.  She knows there are some great new homes being built in Oakville with all the bells and … (13 comments)

oakville homes: Oakville, Ontario Real Estate - A Great Community To Live, Work & Play - 11/21/11 05:39 PM
Oakville, Ontario is located in an enviable geographic position.  Sitting on the shores of Lake Ontario, and centrally located between the large cities of Toronto and Hamilton, the Town of Oakville with a population of approximately 175,000 still retains a small town community feel.
The GO commuter trains are full every morning with Oakville residents travelling to their jobs in downtown Toronto.  Luckily, the Town of Oakville has a number of large employers, allowing many residents to live and work in close proximity.
Here is a list of Oakville's Top Ten Employers

oakville homes: Buying New Or Resale - Is It A Coin Toss? - 08/29/10 05:09 PM
Buying new or resale - Is it a coin toss?
Not usually.  I find today's buyers have specific needs and wants and tend to lean one way or the other.
Buyers looking at new or newer homes desire the bells and whistles that these homes provide. Hardwood and ceramic flooring, 3 or 4 bathrooms, great room with vaulted ceilings, large windows. They only have to do finishing touches such as adding fencing, landscaping, central air or maybe repainting or finishing the basement down the line. 
Lot size and mature neighbourhood are not the highest priorities on their wish list. They may not have the … (8 comments)

oakville homes: Decorating No No's - Don't Try This At Home - 04/27/10 08:39 PM
I watched a great special on HGTV called the  25 Biggest Decorating Mistakes.  All of these items are important to note on a day to day basis but some really stood out to me as extremely important when you are putting your house on the market to sell. 
I've highlighted the items that I feel are imperative to remember when preparing your home for sale. I've added my own comments in parenthesis.
25. Contour toilet rugs - ( or toilet lid covers)  
24. Too many photos displayed ( depersonalize, keep the buyer focussed on the big stuff)
23. Ignoring your entry way/foyer (first … (17 comments)

oakville homes: Oh Oh Oakville - Say It Ain't So - Is Another Heritage Home About To Bite The Dust? - 04/19/10 09:23 PM
I noticed a curious sight the other day driving down Bronte Road in Oakville.  A number of dump trucks were rumbling up and down the long driveway of an old home situated on Bronte Road just south of Upper Middle Road.  As I got closer I noticed the large red brick home was all boarded up. 
Never a good thing to see in Oakville.  The  field behind was being levelled by a piece of heavy machinery,  There were no developers or builders signs on the property that I could see but the telltale signs are all pointing towards a new home site. The property abutts … (16 comments)

oakville homes: The Moving Process - Part 1 - Why Do People Move ? - 12/01/09 08:45 PM
People move for a variety of different reasons.  Some are happy moves and some are not.  Because of the numerous reasons for moving, there are always people on the go at  all times of the year.  February is usually a very busy month for purchases.  Many people are suffering from cabin fever from being cooped up all winter. 
Also this is a good time to buy if you want to be moved in to enjoy the summer in the new house.  Here is a list of many of the top reasons why a For Sale sign goes on the front lawn.

The boundaries for the real estate neighbourhood in Oakville known as Central Oakville are the Sixteen Mile Creek to the East, Dorval Drive to the West, Speers Road to the North and Lake Ontario to the south.  Central Oakville offers a mix of home styles.  Being central to the downtown core and the harbour, it is not known for entry level priced homes.  Many of the one time cottages south of Lakeshore Road have been torn down and replaced with large luxury homes.  Overlooking the harbour are exclusive townhomes built on property that was once a factory.  The original cottages in this area … (1 comments)
