bracebridge real estate: Marketing Your Home For Sale - 06/23/11 11:26 AM

I went to a Home Exhibition. There were two exhibitors 'selling' the same product. One of them placed a fake glass of beer on their display. This exhibitor attracted at least 10 times more potential consumers to their display than their competitor. I am not suggesting that you place a glass of beer in your pictures when selling your home or cottage...but I do suggest you pick a Real Estate Salesperson who knows how to take marketing your listing to a higher level. Contact me for details ;)

bracebridge real estate: Canadian Real Estate Market Update - 01/23/10 11:18 AM
The following article will be of interest to any person considering selling or buying a home in todays Canadian Real estate market. Although there is still public nervousness regarding job stability, the housing market has not taken the fall that was originally speculated by buyers.
I spoke with various investors at the beginning of 2009, who thought it would be best to hold off until the market hit rock bottom. There are a few areas that have been hurt badly, but overall, we are in a good position. Holding off was perhaps not the wisest choice for some.
In fact, some areas have … (1 comments)

bracebridge real estate: The Country vs City Debate - 01/08/10 06:23 PM
The Country vs. City Debate
   My top 10 reasons why country living is better than City life. Some of the points I make here are a complete generalization, and all are from personal experiences, and not intended to offend.
•1)      If you have pets then they have more room to roam, and you can take your dog for a walk ‘off leash' if your property is large enough.
•2)      Country folk are more courteous than City folk. They will chat to you if you make the effort, and will not let a door slam in your face as they enter … (7 comments)

Important Credit Card Payment Information
You may already know this, but if you don't then this information could save your credit rating.
Some people decide that the best way for them to feel organised about paying their bills, is to sit at the computer once a month and pay them all. This would in theory seem an ideal way to make sure that all your bills are being paid, however, here is an interesting fact for you with regards to credit card payments.
   Unless the credit card company receive your payment within the 21 day cycle of the payment due … (2 comments)

Looking for that change in pace from the hectic city lifestyle to a more relaxed environment? Want to actually enjoy the drive home, and escape the hustle and bustle of city traffic?
So many of us have made that change, and unless you have had previous country-living experience, there are issues that you should address in preparation.
1. If your new home location is serviced by well and septic then you need to educate yourself on how theese systems work, and how to maintain them. The great news is that your taxes are lower because you are not hooked up to … (5 comments)

bracebridge real estate: Record amounts of snowfall in Muskoka! - 12/16/09 12:39 PM
This past weekend showed more than 108cm of snow falling from our skies! That's 3 ft 6 inches of the fluffy white stuff we love to ski and sled on!
The 'state of emergancy' is now over in Bracebridge and Huntsville, although some are still without power, or able to get out of their driveways!
The roads are now open, and the city is doing what they can to get the state of the roads back to normal driving conditions.
We look forward to a great holiday season, and tourists, over this great winter we are already having!

bracebridge real estate: We will always wonder if we could have got more.... - 12/15/09 11:47 AM
It is a classic feeling. You list your home at the recommended asking price, an offer is presented, and you sell your home. It doesn't matter if you sold your home for full asking price, or bellow...we always wonder if we could have got more!
It seems to be a natural reaction when we sell, and it's not just our Clients who experience this as I recently went through the same when we sold our home.
We listed at a very realistic asking price. We could have asked more, but we knew that we would be asking too much to entice an … (5 comments)

If you've been thinking about purchasing your first home, but haven't yet made up your mind, now is an ideal time to think about taking the plunge into homeownership.

bracebridge real estate: Move to Muskoka - 09/06/09 01:19 PM
Have you ever simply wished for a change in lifestyle? We did, and within 2 months we made it happen!
We lived in a typical sub-division home in Barrie Ontario, and dreamed of living out of town, in a newer home with acerage. We found a great house nestled in 16 acres of forested land. Ideal for our german shepard!
It is amazing how we turned our dream into a reality, and urge anyone out there to at least try to do the same. With little or no cost, like us, you could have the lifestyle that you too have been … (0 comments)
