• Think beyond the mortgage payment. You’ll need to afford real estate property taxes, home insurance, home repairs and maintenance.

costs, ask questions. If a lender is vague, ask them to be more specific. How is your credit? Is this the right time for you to buy, or should you wait until your credit history looks better? • Will you still be employed? Ask lenders about unemployment insurance, which can typically offer up to 12 months (or more) of mortgage payments if you’re laid off.

ANNOUNCEMENT Roland Wickett, Manager of Coast Realty Group, Parksville and Qualicum Beach, is pleased to welcome Miriam Hoath to our professional Oceanside sales team. We are very confident that Miriam’s background in the fields of law, finance, and investment writing will ensure her success in the real estate business. After an almost-lifetime on the Prairies, Miriam is as thrilled to live in this Vancouver Island paradise as she is to have succumbed to a long time passion for a career in real estate. “Vancouver Island”, she says, “is a mecca for all westerners who wish to wind down from a hectic career in the snow-belt. Where else can one ski, fish, golf or sail all in the same day? And did I mention these fabulous ocean views and the air; every breath provides a full jolt of the freshest air imaginable.” Miriam Hoath Miriam believes that somewhere on Vancouver Island is the perfect home for everyone – let her help you find yours. Miriam may be contacted in our Parksville office at 250-248-8371 or by email at miriamhoath@shaw.ca. She will be pleased to discuss any real estate interests that you may have, and will be devoted to assist your real estate needs. Coast Realty Group is the largest independent real estate company on Vancouver Island. We have 13 offices throughout the central Island area and are dedicated to ethical and professional customer service.
A HOME INSPECTION IS A GOOD INVESTMENT Buying a home is a major event in most people’s lives. Often, homebuyers are so caught up in the excitement that they can easily overlook any flaws their new home may have. However, a house is also one of the most expensive purchases you are likely to make so it’s best to know as much as possible about potential problems before you make the commitment to buy. In its free booklet, “How to buy your home,” the Ontario Real Estate Association recommends homebuyers hire a professional home inspector to thoroughly check out a property before buying. A home inspection can give you the peace of mind of knowing what to expect and help you make an informed decision about the value of the home and the future upkeep. Not only will a home inspection help you determine the condition of the house, its structural soundness, and its mechanical systems, but it also brings any problems to the seller’s attention at a time when they can be resolved before closing a sale. If you are making an offer on a house before it’s inspected, talk to your REALTOR® about including a clause that the sale is contingent upon a satisfactory structural inspection, and specify when the inspection is to be carried out. That way, you are protected.

Lower interest rates have helped make buying a home less expensive in the past. Here’s a few tips on how you can make sure that you can actually afford to jump on in to the housing pool: • Think beyond the mortgage payment. You’ll need to afford real estate property taxes, home insurance, home repairs and maintenance. • “Loan Approved” doesn’t necessarily mean “Loan Affordable”. Start documenting your monthly expenses, such as utility bills, car repairs and payments, current property taxes or rent pay ments, clothing, haircuts and entertainment expenses. • Unfurnished is okay. Don’t feel like you have to charge items just to furnish your new home. High credit payments may actually compromise your ability to make your mortgage payments.
• 3 bedrm,2 bath Windward built rancher on cul-de-sac • Open kitchen, granite counter tops & an large island • Formal dining rm, office or family rm adjacent to great rm • Secure RV/Boat parking on a newly paved driveway • Exposed aggregate, patio & pergola for easy outdoor living
821 Bristol Place
• 2 bedroom/2 bath, 1459 sq.ft • Kitchen, living, dining, bonus family/sitting & eating bar • Master suite overlooks back garden • Fully fenced back yard, low fees in this bare land strata
W
• Shop around for mortgages. If you don’t understand all the costs, ask questions. If a lender is vague, ask them to be more specific. How is your credit? Is this the right time for you to buy, or should you wait until your credit history looks better?
• Windward rancher in Chartwell, 3 bedrms & 2 full baths • Large bright family rm w/gas fireplace & skylight, formal dining area • New counter top, skylight in entry, outdoor lights & fresh paint, • Back yard is fenced, landscaped, covered patio, storage shed & pond

• Will you still be employed? Ask lenders about unemployment insurance, which can typically offer up to 12 months (or more) of mortgage payments if you’re laid off. • Know your mortgage. Your loan type may determine if the loan has payment flexibility or other alternatives.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A HOME INSPECTION?
I PR
N
A home inspector will go through the property and perform a comprehensive visual inspection. A typical inspection includes an examination of the structure from top to bottom, including the heating, air conditioning systems, the interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, the foundation, basement and visible structure. If you can spare the time, it’s a good idea to accompany the inspector during the process. This can give you an opportunity to learn about any problems first-hand and become more familiar with your new house at the same time. The inspector may also be able to share some valuable maintenance tips with you during the inspection. Following the examination, the inspector will provide a report that not only points out possible defects or areas of concern, but also the positive aspects of the structure as well as the type of maintenance that will be necessary to keep the home in good shape. The home inspector should be willing to answer any questions you have as well as clarify any limitations of the inspection to avoid misunderstandings. Avoid firms that issue only a verbal report. The report should be more than just a checklist of items inspected. The home inspector should also issue a written report with accurate cost estimates for any major defects discovered during the inspection.

A professional assessment will provide complete information about the condition of the property you are considering and will help avoid any unpleasant surprises after the sale. In addition, a home inspector can remain totally objective, while you as the prospective homebuyer may be emotionally involved.
$299,900
THINKING OF MAKING A MOVE IN 2011?
A home inspection usually lasts about three hours. The inspection fee for a typical single-family house can vary depending upon the geographic area. The particular features of the home such as size, age and special structures will also be taken into consideration.
Let’s talk about how I can help you!
