TIPS

5 Tips for the First Time Home Buyer Looking for a home? Where should you begin? Home buying can be an over whelming task. Here, we provide you with smart home buying guide uide tips and suggestions in helping you finding that perfect home!

1. Determine your specific needs as a first-time buyer. How much room do you need? Are you concerned about schools? Commuting time? Proximity to family and friends? Is this a starter home, or are you likely to be here in five or ten years? What financial resources do you have, or must you obtain, to purchase your home?

2. Educate yourself about the types of homes that are available. Determine which one(s) will meet your needs: detached single-family home, multi-family home, condominium or new construction? Understand the differences in one type of property over another and learn about the type of property that you’re interested in.

3. Ensure that you’re being realistic about how much you can afford to spend.

Even a newly built house will require some sort of furnishings, whereas older properties may require extensive work, such as re-flooring, tiling, or renewing the wiring. Make sure that you factor in all these likely expenses.

4. Write down a list of local amenities which are important to you. This may include shops, restaurants, pubs, sports centres and parks. Before making any final decision about where to move to, take a stroll or bike ride around the local area, and note down where the key facilities are.

5. Commuting can be one of the biggest household expenses. Living somewhere that minimizes your commuting distance could be very important. If property is more expensive nearer to your place of work, make sure you weigh up this additional expense, when compared to the costs and time of commuting.

How To Cut Years Off Your Mortgage Few people can buy a home for cash. Most of us have a difficult enough time saving the money needed for a down payment. To realize the dream of home ownership, we usually have to combine our savings with borrowed money through a financial arrangement called a mortgage.

Paying off a mortgage is usually a long-term commitment over many years. Most homeowners would like to be mortgage-free sooner. Even if you lock into a long-term mortgage with an affordable interest rate, many lenders today offer the flexibility to pay down the principal and interest faster than scheduled.

834 SONORA PLACE, QUALICUM BEACH

To ensure you have the flexibility to cut years off your mortgage, you need to look at the options and understand them before you buy.

When house hunting, ask your REALTOR® to help you calculate how much mortgage you can afford. Your REALTOR® will also be able to explain the many financial options available. Before buying, shop around and compare what different lenders (banks, trust companies and other financial institutions) have to offer. You’ll want to compare not only interest rates, but the different types of payment and prepayment options offered.

The typical mortgage Typically, mortgages are amortized over 25 years. This is the length of time it will take you to pay the principal, or amount borrowed, plus interest, off in full. Lenders provide money at a variable or set interest rate for a specific period or term, ranging anywhere from six months to 10 years.

NOW ONLY

#2-141 6TH AVE EAST – QUALICUM BEACH

Most common is the conventional mortgage, where a lender will loan up to 75 per cent of the appraised value of the home or the purchase price, whichever is lower. The remaining 25 per cent is what the buyer contributes as a down payment. Some lenders offer highratio mortgages, which require only 10 per cent down if a buyer qualifies. Governmentassisted mortgages enable eligible buyers to borrow up to 95 per cent of the value of a home.

Despite prepayment privileges in many cases, most mortgages are “closed”. This means they can’t be paid off in full without penalty until they mature at the end of their term.

“Open” mortgages can be paid off at any time without penalty, but they usually bear a higher interest rate. Still, there are other ways of paying that mortgage off faster, without paying a high price.

Get the best interest rate Interest rates can make a huge difference on payments. Study the market. If rates are falling, take out a short term and lock into a longer term when rates have fallen even more.

If rates are rising, lock in for a longer term. If the rates keep fluctuating, take advantage of options offered by lenders such as short-term convertible mortgages, where you can lock into a fixed rate at any time; or variable rate mortgages, where rates change along with market fluctuations. The key is to keep your payments as low as possible, so that you can take advantage of other options such as double-up payments and annual lump sum payments.

ARBUTUS INDUSTRIAL PARK, HUNTLEY ROAD Arbutus Industrial Park adjacent to the Parksville Industrial Park with Island Hwy exposure.

5 units available ranging in size from 1247 sq.ft. – 4686 sq.ft.

Annual payment increase If you feel you can afford slightly higher payments, many lenders today allow you to boost your regular mortgage payments once each year throughout the term of your mortgage and to apply that increase directly to reduce your principal. By increasing your payments by as little as $15.00 or $20.00 per month, you can also cut years off your mortgage.

Re-Finance your mortgage If you have a fixed, closed, long-term mortgage and rates have fallen more than two per cent, you may want to re-finance the loan to get the better rate. The cost of re-financing can be very high. To discharge your closed mortgage, you with either have to pay three months’ interest penalty or an “interest differential” which can cost considerably more.

Calculate carefully and seek expert advice before re-financing, or you could end up paying more than if you stayed the course on your current rate.

673 MEMORIAL AVE, QUALICUM BEACH

Double-up payments Some lenders allow you to make additional payments against your mortgage balance (up to the equivalent of a full monthly payment) occasionally, or even every payment date. The extra payment is directly applied to your mortgage principal to reduce the total balance.

Making the equivalent of just two additional monthly payments a year can cut years off your mortgage.

Lump sum payments Some lenders allow you to prepay a one-time lump sum each calendar year. This lump sum, along with other annual pre-payment privileges, generally does not exceed 10 to 20 per cent of the original principal amount of the mortgage. Once again, the money goes directly to reducing your principal. However, when the term of your mortgage is up, most lenders will allow you to make any size repayment at no extra charge.

This 19 year old, 1 owner, custom executive rancher is in excellent condition as it has only been lived in for a total of about 3 years.

Professionally landscaped and maintained 1 acre property with a sprinkler system, large patio spaces, privacy, a great location and a peak ocean view to complete this unique offering. Call today to view!

180 CROME POINT ROAD, DEEP BAY

Shorten the amortization period The average amortization period is 25 years, but you can arrange for a shorter period. The shorter the period, the larger your payments, but the more you save on interest and the long-term cost of your loan. This is a great idea when interest rates are low and you can afford larger monthly payments.

Accelerate your payments Few people can buy a home for cash. Most of us have a difficult enough time saving the money needed for a down payment. To realize the dream of home ownership, we usually have to combine our savings with borrowed money through a financial arrangement called a mortgage.

Very clean 3 bedroom, 2 bath rancher in the heart of QualicumBeach. The home features a large bright kitchen, living room with cozy gas fireplace, master with walk-in closet and 3 pc ensuite, double garage with ample storage, covered patio, and a lovely landscaped yard complete with fruit trees, garden shed, and a sprinkler system.

“SAVE MONEY SELLING YOUR HOME”

Choosing The REALTOR® Who’s Right For You. If you’re selling or buying a home, you know it’s a process that can’t be rushed. You need time to make the right choices and decisions. After all, selling or buying a home is one of the largest and most important business transactions in which you’re likely to be involved.

As a result, you’ll need to work with someone who understands your needs and wants -- someone you trust and with whom you feel comfortable. That’s why it’s important to work with a REALTOR® and to know how to go about choosing the one who’s right for you.

By definition, a REALTOR®’s primary role is to bring buyers and sellers together to facilitate a sale. A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate professional who is a member of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board and therefore has access to the Multiple Listing Service ® (MLS®) run by the Board.

Both terms, REALTOR® and MLS® are trademarks owned by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Members of the local Board are also members of CREA and therefore are permitted to use these trademarks.

When you work with a REALTOR® you can expect strict adherence to provincial law, as well as to a national Code of Ethics -- ensuring you’ll receive the highest level of service and integrity.

‘Open Houses’ are also a good way to meet REALTORS, especially if you’re interested in purchasing a home.

You can also refer to real estate signs in your chosen area. If no name appears, call the phone number on the sign and ask to be referred to a REALTOR® in that firm.

Some people mistakenly contact the real estate board for referral to a REALTOR®. A real estate board does not provide a referral service for REALTORS. The Board was created to provide services to its members. Still, the Board will confirm whether a real estate practitioner is a member, and therefore a REALTOR®.

THE INTERVIEW When choosing a real estate professional, it’s a good idea to talk to two or three sales representatives from different companies to determine what types of information and experience they and their companies have to offer. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you’re selling your home, ask those you interview about the type of marketing plan they have in mind for your home.

Obviously, you’ll want to learn of their reputation and reliability.

You may also want to consider asking for references from buyers or sellers with whom the REALTOR® has worked.

Real estate professionals know their markets inside-out because they inspect open houses and research all listings. As a result, they have expertise in assessing what comparable homes are selling for within any given neighbourhood.

Further, since you’ll be working closely with a REALTOR® for weeks or possibly months, it’s a good idea to choose someone who listens to what you say, asks intelligent questions and shows a genuine interest in helping you.

HOW DO I FIND A REALTOR®?

PREPARATORY WORK

There are many ways to go about finding the REALTOR® who’s right for you. First, try consulting friends, relatives and neighbours to see if they can recommend someone. You may also want to try searching through local newspaper real estate advertisements.

Keep in mind that REALTORS cannot work independently of your input. You must be willing to do some preparatory work yourself and be prepared to dedicate a certain amount of time to working with the REALTOR® you have chosen.

The Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) represents over 900 REALTORS and administers the Multiple Listing Service® system north of the Malahat to the northern-most reaches of the Island. This article was provided on behalf of VIREB REALTORS for the information and benefit of consumers. For more information, visit the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board’s website online at www.vireb.com or call 250-390-4212.

So, before you enlist the help of a REALTOR®, you should have a clear set of objectives in mind. Be honest and open in discussing your financial situation and, if you’re buying, carefully review the features you absolutely must have in a home, versus those features you’d merely like to have.

LOYALTY IS A MUST It’s also important to remain loyal to the REALTOR® you’ve chosen if he or she has earned your trust. This person will be spending a lot of time and effort on your behalf, but won’t be paid until the transaction is completed.

If you’re a buyer, getting involved with several REALTORS can create unnecessary and confusing duplication of effort. In fact, buyers who deal with several REALTORS may miss out on the high level of interest and comprehensive service one is entitled to expect by working closely with a single, competent REALTOR®.

COOPERATION REALLY WORKS Remember, although you’ll be working with one REALTOR®, members of the Board cooperate extensively with each other to facilitate showings and sales for the benefit of other clients and customers.

So, if you see a ‘For Sale’ sign on a house in which you’re interested, simply ask the REALTOR® you’re working with to arrange an appointment to view the home. This service is, in fact, what the Multiple Listing Service® system is all about -REALTORS cooperating with REALTORS to bring buyers and sellers together to achieve their mutual goals.

Use a REALTOR® or go it alone?

Do you really need a REALTOR® when selling your home or can you do it yourself? Selling a home is one of the biggest financial transactions most of us will ever make. Realtors have the qualifications and experience to help you make a successful sale.

Handling a real estate transaction on your own is like trying to repair your own car. Sure you can buy the parts and tools, but unless you have the skill of a professional, you may end up making a very costly mistake.

• Gorgeous custom built 2400 sq. ft. family home • 3.2 acres, 1000 sq. ft. workshop with bonus room • River rock fireplace, Brazillian Cherry wood floors • Landscaped, greenhouse, many extras

Most people who buy or sell their homes do enlist the services of a REALTOR®.

And usually the few who attempt to “do it themselves” wind up changing their minds and contacting a REALTOR® when they discover the process is too complex, too time consuming and too intimidating without the help of a professional.

Saving money?

The main reason people cite for attempting to sell their own homes is to save on the real estate commission. But will you really save money if you sell your home yourself? Probably not.

Most buyers expect a discount because you don’t have to pay the real estate commission and as a result may offer you less than fair market value.

Determining fair market value is one area requiring a REALTOR®’s extensive knowledge and training. If you set your price too high, you may frighten off potential buyers; set it too low and you could lose thousands of dollars needlessly. One of your REALTOR®’s most important tasks will be to help you decide upon a realistic market value for your home that will enable you to sell it quickly and for the best possible price.

Through the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), your REALTOR® will ensure your home gets maximum exposure to a vast amount of Realtors and potential home buyers. This is just one of the ways a REALTOR® will market your home. He or she may also use advertising in newspapers, on television and/ or on the Internet as well as a “For Sale” sign on your lawn. Your marketing plan may also include an open house for Realtors and for the public. Your REALTOR® will work with you to develop a marketing plan that meets your needs.

Getting exposure

Time commitment Do you really have the time it takes to sell your home? A REALTOR® will write and pay for the ads to market your home, remain available day and night for calls from prospects, host open houses on the weekends, show your property on short notice, screen potential buyers, fill-out all the paperwork, handle the negotiations and do dozens of other things required to sell a home. When you consider the amount of time invested, are you really saving any money by going it alone?

Many homeowners lack the skill to negotiate the best price for their home.

Also, selling your home can be a highly emotional experience making it almost impossible to remain neutral when potential buyers make negative comments about your property. A defensive attitude could get in the way of a smooth transaction. A REALTOR® is a skilled negotiator who can remain impartial during the negotiations and keep your stress levels to a minimum.

butters2001@shaw.ca

Use a REALTOR® to sell your home When you consider all the services they provide, everything from marketing, to negotiating to dealing with contracts and legal issues, it pays to have a REALTOR® on your side. Working with a licensed real estate professional to sell your home, someone who is a member of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board, entitles you to a vast array of services and benefits you would not get as a “do-it-yourselfer.”be built on a right of way.

What to look for when visiting home inspected in order to a house You should have your dream avoid any unexpected surprises So, you want to buy a new home and you have found a few potential properties. But how can you tell the difference between a “dream home” and a “heap of junk”?

Buying a home is a big decision that should be made rationally. For this reason, there are certain things you should look for when visiting a house for the first time.

For example: o Are the walls straight? o Is the chimney in good condition? o Does the foundation show signs of cracks or weakness? o Are there large trees planted too closely to the house? o Do the exterior doors shut properly? o Are there any drafts around them once they are shut? o Are there any cracks in the walls close to door frames, window frames or in the corner of ceilings? o Is the ceiling level? o Do all the inside doors open and shut properly?

o Do the windows open and shut properly? o Is the floor solid? If ceramic tiles have been used, are they cracked? o Has any mold or mildew built up around the windows or in the bathroom? o If the house has a fireplace, are there any signs of smoke over the hearth? o Is the damper air proof? o Are there any odours in the basement?

(A perfumed scent might be due to the owner trying to mask humidity or animal urine odours.) o Is the cement floor in good condition?

Finally, visually inspect all the drains, pipes and kitchen and bathroom fixtures to make sure they are in good condition. Making a checklist of the above questions and bringing it with you when visiting new homes can be a great help.
