Separate entrance and 3 pce. bath lends itself perfectly for a suite. Neat as a pin and ready for your updating touches. The neighbourhood is a secret little gem. In Lakehill, right near Lochside Trail, you couldn’t ask for a better location. One road accesses the small area with no thru streets. Quiet and safe. The main has oak floors throughout. The roof is new and the gutters, oil tank recently replaced too. Furnace in ‘95. Partially covered large rear deck perfect for the nice summer days and workshop below. The sunny, large yard is a little piece of tranquility too, to top things off. Well priced at $489,000. ML 313399 5890466

Wellington Court is a well-maintained and managed building that offers a great central Fairfield location - beaches, parks, shopping and restaurants are all nearby. This south-facing unit - on the quiet side - is nicely updated with cherry hardwood floors, newer kitchen and bathroom, and newer appliances. Spacious open plan living and dining area, galley kitchen, two good sized bedrooms, full size in suite laundry, private balcony, cozy wood-burning fireplace, tons of extra storage, bike storage and secure underground parking - and 2 cats are allowed. Depreciation report done and healthy contingency fund - this is a great choice! New MLS - Wendy Moreton

This charming 1936 family home has only ever had two owners, which is not surprising, as who would want to move from this special location. You’ll appreciate its traditional style, and the well-proportioned living room with its beautifully scaled fireplace, leaded accent windows and two sets of leaded doors (one from the entry, one to the dining room), sets the tone. The separate formal dining room, again with leaded accent windows, adjoins the extra large renovated kitchen, from which it’s easy to imagine watching children play in the large yard. On the main level, there are also two bedrooms, one of which is currently used as family room, plus a full bathroom. Upstairs you’ll find two well-sized bedrooms and a generously sized 3-pce bath. The large unfinished basement has lots of space for storage or hobbies. Those “in the know”, who understand what this property offers in terms of privacy, sun exposure, location and walkability, will want to act quickly to arrange a viewing. Private showings easily arranged. MLS 319127 Paul Osborne

The two-bedroom onelevel home features fabulous oak flooring and beautifully detailed finishing throughout. The living room is particularly special; it’s oversized with wonderfully symmetrical curve-topped windows and a significant fireplace with newer gas insert. There’s a separate formal dining room, and the new Bruce Wilkin-designed kitchen will delight the most demanding chef. Two large bedrooms and a newly renovated bathroom with oversized shower plus a tasteful two-piece powder room complete the main floor. The small basement area provides storage and mechanical rooms; there is a new high efficiency American Standard gas furnace plus a gas-fired on-demand hot water system. You’ll not only love this home, you’ll be amazed at the value! MLS 319405 Paul Osborne

Has the prospect of moving into a bigger and better home been in your plans from the day you ďŹ rst bought your â&#x20AC;&#x153;starterâ&#x20AC;? home? Well, now may be just the right time to make it happen. You may be surprised to learn that the cost of moving up is within your means. The equity you have already built up in your current home can often be sufďŹ cient for the down payment for your next home. And, with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attractive mortgage rates, carrying charges need not be much larger than what you are paying now. A REALTOR can help you calculate the carrying costs on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;move upâ&#x20AC;? home.

CHANGING NEEDS The desire to move to a larger home is often the result of changing needs for you and your family. A new child is on the way and you need a nursery; the children are growing and need their own rooms and more space to play; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired of scrambling for a place to park on the street and want your own driveway; you need more space to build a home office now that you are self-employed; or maybe you just need a change of scenery. There are as many reasons as there are different lifestyles. Whatever your reasons, moving up to a new home can intensify the joys of home ownership. There are both practical and emotional results of moving up to a better home. On the practical side, the equity in your home will continue to grow and the value of a bigger and better home will be ultimately greater over time. On the emotional side, the pride of ownership in a bigger house will probably be even greater than when you bought your first home.

ASK A REALTOR FOR HELP As will every major decision, the key component is thoughtful planning. Your options can be confusing at times but a REALTOR can help you make the right choices. Location, of course, will be one of the first choices you will need to make. There are almost as many individual choices on location as there are homes. If you want to move closer to the urban core you can be sure that there is somebody out there who is just as eager to move to the suburbs. If you want a house on a bigger lot to enjoy gardening, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s someone looking for a smaller lot which requires less maintenance. With access to the Multiple Listing ServiceÂŽ) (MLSÂŽ ), a REALTOR can not only help you sell your present home for the best price possible, but also provide you with a customized list of homes for sale that meet your needs, wants and budget. He or she can then arrange for you to view the homes that appeal to you the most. If you are thinking of moving up to meet changes in circumstances and lifestyle, contact a REALTOR today for expert advice.

Frequently, people who attempt to sell their home without the help of a REALTOR® do so in hopes of saving the commission or fee. There is a good chance, however, that such an approach will not pay off as potential buyers will often submit lower offers in such cases. In addition, without the help of a REALTOR® and access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) it will likely take significantly longer to sell your home. The MLS® is best described as a co-operative marketing system to ensure maximum exposure of properties for sale. Fundamentally, it is a central registry of properties used by REALTORS® to match buyers with properties for sale. Before attempting to sell your own home, ask yourself the following questions: 1. Do you have sufficient knowledge to determine the price range for your home? Are you aware of changing market conditions and of recent sales of similar homes in your area? 2. Do you have the skills and resources to advertise and market your home effectively? 3. Do you know what types of financing are available? Are you informed about various financing methods? 4. Do you have a network of contacts to produce potential buyers and are you able to screen out unqualified prospects -- people who are just curious? Are you comfortable inviting strangers into your home at 9 p.m. because they saw your sign? 5. Are you available seven days a week to show your home? (Buyers will expect you to be available at their convenience, not yours). 6. Do you have good negotiating skills? Are you comfortable haggling face-to-face over the price? Will you be ready to reveal known defects of your home and are you familiar with your legal obligations in this regard? 7. Can you write a legally binding contract? Do you have offer forms readily available? Do you have a lawyer to advise you on essential terms that must be in the contract? 8. Can you close a sale? Are you familiar with the many steps required after an offer has been accepted?

A SOUND INVESTMENT

IN YOUR FUTURE

Why use your hard-earned cash to pay the landlord's mortgage when you could be using the rent money to buy a home of your own? That's a question many people ask themselves when they start thinking about moving out of the rental market to home ownership. It's a big step. For most people, taking out a mortgage is the biggest financial commitment they will ever make. But buying your own home has always made sound financial sense. Here are some facts to think over when considering home ownership as opposed to renting. • If you are 35 now and just buying your first home, you will likely be mortgage-free when you are 60 and sitting comfortably on a considerable asset. • It's highly likely your investment will appreciate considerably in 25 years. It's important, however, not to buy with the intention of making a quick fortune. Think of home buying as a sound, longterm investment. • Buying a home is a very effective way of saving regularly over many years. Even if you never buy into another retirement or investment plan, you are effectively putting money away for the future. • Owning a home of your own means you and your family can set down roots, get to know your community and involve yourselves in it. • Discover the pride of home ownership. You can fix the place to suit your particular needs. You can also have pets in your home.

• As your family grows and moves on to homes of their own, you will have the option of earning extra income by renting out spare rooms or floors, if local bylaws allow. • If you are planning to borrow money from a bank or other financial institution, owning your own home is a definite plus when it comes time to negotiate. • You may not need as much money as you think to get into the home market. Qualified buyers can buy a house with as little as 5% down through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) mortgage insurance scheme. You may also be able to use RRSP funds as part of your down payment. • With many kinds of investments, you have to pay a capital gains tax on profit you make. If your home is your principal residence, this tax does not apply. After you have carefully considered all of the aspects of home ownership and are ready to begin your search, it's time to contact your REALTOR®. He or she has access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), a co-operative marketing system through which properties are bought and sold. Using the MLS®, your REALTOR® can prepare a customized list of properties for sale that best meet your needs, wants and budget. Your REALTOR® will also provide valuable assistance and guidance to you throughout the buying process.
