ottawa: Cold February didn’t deter Ottawa buyers - 03/08/15 06:42 AM
The frigid February that Ottawa residents just endured was one of the coldest on record, with many people doing their best to stay inside, keep warm and count down the days to spring.
It was not exactly the kind of weather that’s ideal for shopping for a new home, but in good news, the Ottawa Real Estate Board reports that resales for the month were actually only slightly lower than February of last year and the five-year average numbers for February sales.
A news release on the board’s website reports that members of the Ottawa Real Estate Board sold 853 residential … (0 comments)

ottawa: How to Enjoy Winter in Ottawa: A Guide - 11/25/14 07:34 AM
Six Things to Love about Winter in Ottawa
I have often worked with clients who are moving to Ottawa from a warmer climate, and as I help them look for a new home, they frequently ask about the cold Ottawa winters they’ve heard so much about. While some tell me they look forward to the snow, others look worried, and wonder how they will get through it.   I tell these people that our winters can indeed be cold and snowy, and there are people who get through it by going into hibernation mode, curling up around the fireplace every … (2 comments)

ottawa: Ottawa Neighbourhoods at a glance: Part 2 - 10/01/14 10:05 AM
 McKellar Heights/Glabar Park; Carlington; Riverview;
When you’re new to a city and looking to buy a home, it can feel daunting to know where to begin in your search for your new neighbourhood. Where to start? Which areas will appeal to you and which can you afford?
In my 30 years in real estate, I’ve found that even longtime Ottawa-area residents who are looking to move don’t always know all of their city’s communities, the amenities that those neighbourhoods offer or why those areas might be a perfect fit for what they’re looking for.
Of course, one of the things that … (0 comments)

ottawa: Ottawa's slower condo market means good news for buyers - 07/07/14 01:23 AM
If you’ve been thinking of getting into the Ottawa condo market, whether it’s to buy your first property or downsize from a house to something smaller and easier to maintain in your retirement years, there is potential good news to be found in some of the recent sales figures for our area.
As you may have read in media reports, the Ottawa condo market was a little cool in recent months. Some are attributing that to an over-supply of units. New condo projects seemed to pop up on almost every vacant corner in recent years as part of a condo-building boom.

ottawa: My Success is built on Knowledge and Relationships - 03/13/14 11:13 PM
Whether for Investment properties or personal residences, my personal business has certainly diversified over the years, with many of my clients now a bit older. In some cases, I’m working with their now-adult children, who are now looking for guidance in the market.  With thousands of sales over my 29 years in real estate, I receive many referrals from previous clients, and this is terrific!  I love the challenge of finding that perfect place for people. Even if my clients do not know exactly what they want when we are just starting the search, I am pretty good at reading between … (0 comments)

ottawa: New construction or resale? Keep an open mind - 03/06/14 02:00 AM
 
For home buyers, it’s one of the biggest decisions: Do you want a brand-new home that has never been lived in and comes with the chance to choose finishes and upgrades as well as a warranty (in most cases)? Or do you prefer a resale property that offers period charm and character in an established, tree-lined neighbourhood?
There is no easy answer, and all homebuyers have individual preferences and details that they consider important.
For example, many young, first-time buyers who have been renting downtown tell me they absolutely want to remain downtown rather than living in the suburbs, so … (0 comments)
