Ten Reasons Why You Should Use A REALTOR® It's not likely you can afford to gamble with the largest single investment you've made in your life time, namely your home, but you may be surprised to learn that some are willing to take that chance.

You may be a whiz at woodworking, gardening, and mechanics, but what do you REALLY know about selling your home?

• Income potential from legal suite

• Rural acreage near Qualicum Beach

• Close to town, schools, beach

• 3 bdrm. rancher on water system

• Many renovations

• Good investment with subdivision opportunity

2318 BALSAM CRESCENT, NANOOSE BAY

There are several very compelling reasons why you should enlist the professional services of a REALTOR®. Consider the following: • Chances are your REALTOR® can get you a higher price for your property than if you tried to sell it yourself;

539 HAWTHORNE RISE, FRENCH CREEK

$329,90

$459,00

0

Ask yourself the following: "Do I know its true market value or replacement value? Am I aware of the legal ins and outs? Can I arrange suitable financing? Can I qualify a potential buyer? Can I negotiate to a successful close? Can I write an enforceable contract?

In today's marketplace you get what you pay for and if you want the job done right -- you use a professional. Today's complex housing market demands expertise and market resources not available to the average citizen.

• Statistics prove you'll sell your home a lot faster when you use REALTOR® services; • When you work with a REALTOR®, you're really working with over 900 other REALTORS through a cooperative marketing system known as the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board; • Your REALTOR® has an extensive personal network of contacts to produce potential buyers; • Your REALTOR® knows your neighbourhood -- assessing market conditions and property values is a daily practice; • Negotiating price is an art and your REALTOR® will negotiate to get the best possible price in the shortest amount of time;

• Dramatic ocean/mountain views

• Private, tranquil, waterfront

• Waterfront plus nearby marina

• Dramatic estate sized property

• Well maintained home, with walk out basement

• Comfortable spacious custom West coast home

• REALTORS are familiar with the complex laws and regulations that govern real estate and are licensed to write a legally binding and enforceable contract; • Your REALTOR® is on call seven days a week and 24 hours a day to apply the specialized skills and resources required to market your home effectively; • Your REALTOR® is highly trained and keeps up-to-date on the latest marketing techniques through continuing professional education; and • Your REALTOR® is a member of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board, the British Columbia Real Estate Association, and The Canadian Real Estate Association and is governed by a strict Code of Ethics.

If you're serious about selling your home, then you should seriously consider using the experts. Just look for the distinctive REALTOR® and Multiple Listing Service trademarks in your area and let real estate marketing specialists deliver the professional service you deserve.

Get Organized with this Handy Moving Checklist!

Organization is the key to a successful move! Use this helpful checklist to get things done at the right time. Start early and refer to this list often!

6 - 8 Weeks Before Move ■

If you’re using a moving company, check to make sure your move is scheduled.

■

Make a list of items you want to take with you and what you want to toss. Consider donating unwanted items to charity or hold a garage sales.

■

If you’re doing your own packing, gather supplies you need (boxes, tape, markers).

■

Develop a floor plan of your new home’s layout, noting where each item will go. This will help reduce the stress of making decisions later.

■

Get to know your new community. The local Chamber of Commerce can provide information on schools, community programs, parks & recreation facilities.

■

Finalize all real estate or rental needs.

■

Contact your insurance agent to transfer medical, property, fire & auto insurance.

■

Put all medical / dental records in a safe and accessible place. Be sure to include prescription and vaccination records.

■

Notify schools in the old and new locations and arrange to transfer school records.

Start the process of registering in new schools.

4-5 Weeks Before Move ■

Contact or visit your local Post Office to obtain a Change of Address form.

■

Notify family, friends, banks, insurance & credit card companies, doctors, dentists, clubs, associations and magazine / newspaper subscriptions about your move.

■

Contact utility providers (telephone, gas, electric, TV and trash collection) at new and old locations to make arrangements for connections and disconnections.

■

Complete banking arrangements in old & new locations and transfer funds to your new bank.

■

Check requirements for new driver’s licence and auto registration in your destination province.

Collect items that are being repaired, stored, or cleaned (clothing, shoes, etc.)

2 Weeks Before Move ■

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:

MOBILE MADNESS EXTREMELY BRIGHT

FREE

• 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.

• 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?

• 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.

Buying a Home: What Can You Afford?

Few people can buy a home for cash. Most of us have a difficult enough time saving the If you’re thinking about buying a home, a question that will undoubtedly weigh heavily on your mind is: “How much can I afford?”

Obviously, affordability will play a major part in your decision making process. You want to be able to buy something you like, but you don’t want to feel stretched to the limit when it comes to meeting your financial obligations. Once you discover exactly what you can afford, you can be more realistic in your expectations.

If you’re like most people, you lack the funds to make a purchase without seeking substantial help from a lending institution. In addition to coming up with a down payment, you’ll have to arrange a mortgage.

Basically, there are two types of costs involved in buying a home: The amount of money you’ll need for the initial purchase -- consisting of the down payment plus additional costs such as legal fees, inspection fees and taxes; and The ongoing costs of paying back your mortgage, along with monthly operating costs for utilities, maintenance, insurance and annual property taxes.

Lenders use several factors in judging your ability to handle a mortgage, including your income, employment record and credit worthiness. However, one way you can estimate the price range you can afford is to look at the amount of money you have available for a down payment.

The most common type of mortgage is a “conventional mortgage.” Under this type of mortgage, lenders will loan up to 75 percent of the appraised value of the property or purchase price, whichever is lower.

The remaining 25 percent or more is the amount you will contribute as a down payment.

So, if you plan to buy a home that has an appraised value of $100,000, a lender may loan you 75 per cent or $75,000 on a conventional mortgage when you contribute a down payment of $25,000.

MULTIPLY BY FOUR If you plan to borrow funds through a conventional mortgage, simply multiply your down payment funds by four, to get an idea of the highest priced home you could buy. Then you will have to determine whether you have sufficient income to make the payments on your mortgage. Most lenders won’t let you take on debt that you can’t service. That’s why they’ll “qualify” you first, before agreeing to give you a mortgage.

HIGH-RATIO MORTGAGE

WIN A MARKET EVALUATION OF YOUR HOME! Correctly identify Dan Jack and call 250-954-7111 to win

If you don’t have a 25 per cent down payment, you may want to investigate a high-ratio mortgage.

This type of mortgage is available for up to 95 per cent of a home’s appraised value or purchase price, whichever is lower, up to a maximum amount set by the government.

Since you are borrowing more than 75 per cent, the government insists that the mortgage be insured against default and that you pay the cost of the insurance. That cost can range from one to three per cent of the mortgage amount, and is added to the mortgage principal.

Once they’ve determined the amount of your monthly income available for mortgage payments, they’ll calculate the mortgage amount you can have. This is based on current interest rates charged by lenders.

We can help!

Check out all the latest listings right here inside this issue of The Real Estate Weekly and now online at bclocalhomes.com

Lenders also use a second calculation in qualifying you for a mortgage. It’s called the “Total Debt Service” ratio or TDS. Generally speaking, no more than 40 percent of your gross family income may be used to cover mortgage payments, property taxes, utility costs, plus other fixed monthly payments. These other fixed costs are your ongoing commitments and can include auto, student or personal loans as well as charge accounts.

Are you looking for more space, the perfect weekend retreat or options for your changing lifestyle?

To determine your eligibility, lenders will look at your monthly housing expenses. These include such items as mortgage payments, property taxes, and utility costs. These shouldn’t exceed approximately 30 percent of your monthly gross family income. This is called your “Gross Debt Service” ratio or GDS. (Some lenders will, in fact, go as high as 35 per cent, depending on a number of variables.)

Once you’ve calculated these factors, it’s a good idea to try living for a couple of months as if you were paying a mortgage, along with your other living expenses, to see just how well you manage. After all, it may be feasible on paper, but you may not be comfortable with this amount of your income being allocated towards a mortgage. Better to find out now, before you actually make a purchase.
