dundas: Will Rising Gas Prices Drive a Wedge in Canadians' Cottage Plans this Summer? - 07/05/07 02:34 AM
Royal LePage survey finds recreational property prices continue to rise
TORONTO, June 5, 2007 - Despite rising cottage and gas prices, the number of Canadians committed to owning their own getaway retreat has increased since last summer, with 12 per cent of Canadians planning to or considering buying a recreational property in the next three years, according to the 2007 Royal LePage Recreational Property Report released today.
However, the rising prices at the pumps may trump the passions of some, as almost one quarter (23%) of Canadian cottage owners will reduce the number of trips they make to their cottages this summer, while 12 per … (0 comments)

Moving Vehicles What are my options for moving cars, trucks, and other vehicles long distance? On the moving van In most cases, at least one of your automobiles can travel on the moving van with your furniture (peak period may be an exception). Your automobile is strapped down.

dundas: Thinking of Buying a Cottage? - 07/05/07 12:22 AM
Recreational Guide to Inspecting Your PropertyWhat should I look for when viewing a recreational property?Nothing can spoil your summer fun as much as a cottage plagued with costly and time-consuming maintenance problems. Protect yourself and your investment, and gain a little peace of mind by hiring a qualified home inspector before you buy.
But, even before you hire a home inspector, there are warning signs to look for. Recreational properties are often unoccupied for several months of the year, so they are vulnerable to infestation, freezing pipes, mildew, vandalism, and theft. When viewing recreational property, take special note of potential problem areas:

dundas: Your Credit- Have You checked It lately? - 07/05/07 12:16 AM
What is my credit rating?
There are a number of steps to getting mortgage financing. A particularly important step - and one many people don't give much thought to is the credit check. As a routine part of the application process the lender will order a copy of your credit history. Your personal credit history is compiled by credit bureaus that collect information from various sources including banks, retailers, and other public records, creating a credit report. Information such as what credit and debit cards you have, the types of accounts you have at various financial institutions, information about personal loans, mortgages, student … (0 comments)

Knowing your affordable price range will bring your house hunting into focus.How much house you can afford depends on two things: how much you can afford for the monthly mortgage payment, and how much you can invest in the down payment.

These four costs are often abbreviated PITI.The key items are the size of the down payment, the amount of the mortgage and the … (0 comments)

Staging your home could help you get close to your asking price or even more. Some painting, some rearranging and removal of some furniture and other clutter items, could open things up for you.
"If you are thinking about putting your house on the market now and hope to sell, move and get settled as quickly as possible - home owners take note.  The average buyer has little imagination when it comes to projecting themselves into a resale home.  Even though you spent countless hours painting and decorating for yourselves it means little to the young couple viewing your home.  They may … (0 comments)

dundas: Understanding Agency - 06/25/07 01:49 PM
What is agency?Under agency law, the Realtor legally owes you the duties and obligations associated with agency: utmost care, integrity, confidentiality, and loyalty. A stringent Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice guides all Realtors. It's your assurance of fair and honest representation.
A Realtor must disclose, in writing, whose interests he or she represents in any real estate transaction. A Realtor may represent you both as a buyer, and as a seller. In some cases, the Realtor may represent both the buyer and the seller involved in the same transaction.

dundas: Did You Know?... - 06/23/07 06:18 AM
Fifty-eight per cent of buyers surveyed revealed that they were willing to make a decision after viewing 10 homes or less, while only 11 per cent of buyers thought they would have to view over 20 homes in order to feel comfortable making a decision. An overwhelming majority of people (83%) surveyed said that they would regard their Realtor's assessment of the home as somewhat or very important. As such, sellers need to impress both potential buyers and Realtors, who are local market experts. This dynamic raises the bar for everyone selling a home. When asked which room of the house … (0 comments)

dundas: Some Tips To Get Your Home Ready To Sell - 06/23/07 06:10 AM
First impressions are key in real estate as buyers often make up their minds about a home within the first few minutes of entering the front door. A combination of the right renovations with modern and tasteful décor is the best way to do that.
A contemporary and minimalist space with neutral coloured walls and a limited number of personal items appeals to most buyers and ensures the best results when selling a home.
Too much empty space can work agaist you as an empty room allowsbuyers to focus on negative details instead of overall space and the flow of each room to the … (0 comments)

dundas: Creating a Positive First Impression is Key to Selling Your Home - 06/23/07 05:51 AM
The 2006 Royal LePage House Staging Poll (conducted by Maritz Research) revealed that renovations can often boost a home's value but sometimes too much of a unique style can be detrimental when it's time to sell.  Thirty-six percent of potential buyers said that they would be willing to pay a premium for a home with updated décor. Surprisingly, more men than women viewed décor as a necessity with 41 per cent of men versus 30 per cent of women claiming they were willing to pay a premium for this feature.

dundas: Avoid Insurance With 20% Down - 06/23/07 05:45 AM
Since mid April, all you need is just 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance fees.  The old law was 25%, and it's been around for 40 years.
This change should save you about $2500, for example, on a typical $300,000 home.  The savings includes the mortgage insurance fee itself and the interest you pay to borrow for the fee. 
The savings will apply to both new purchases and refinances.
The only ones not celebrating this new law are CMHC, Genworth and AIG insurance.  They're about to lose a nice chunk of insurance premium revenue.  Fortunately, according to Jim Rawson from Invis (as quoted in The Star), competition among … (0 comments)

dundas: Canadian Housing Market Exceeds Expectations - 06/21/07 02:08 AM
Canada's housing market got off to a surprisingly strong start in 2007 with average house prices rising in all major markets surveyed, according to a first quarter report released by Royal LePage Real Estate Services.  The combination of resilient consumer confidence, moderately low interest rates and improved affordability across most of the country led to greater than expected activity during the typically slower first quarter.
While national average house prices experienced robust appreciation, significant regional differences continue to characterize the market.  Fuelled by the energy sector, Alberta's economy continued to show extremely high price appreciation, while more moderate levels were noted … (0 comments)
