VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD PRESIDENT

JANUARY 2012 SHOWS INCREASED ACTIVITY IN VICTORIA REAL ESTATE MARKET While the average price for a single family home in Greater Victoria softened slightly (3.62%) in January 2012 when compared to January 2011, sales over the same period have increased by 8%. These numbers definitely match what we have been hearing from many of our Members at the Victoria Real Estate Board. Showings have increased, sales are slowly increasing and there is a sense of optimism among area REALTORS®.

AVERAGE PRICES

Buyers are still price sensitive and very aware of the market values of homes. Sellers need to be aware that average prices trending up or down may not apply to their market area. They should consult with a REALTOR® regarding prices in their own neighbourhood communities.

January 2012

The number of active listings continues to decrease from a high of 5,094 in July 2011, creating more balance in the market. When supply exceeds demand, buyers can afford to be choosier and wait for the right house, at the right price.

MLS sales last month included 191 single family homes, 112 condominiums, 41 townhomes and 8 manufactures homes, totalling 352 residences.

TOTAL MLS® SALES January 2012 January 2011 372 339 TOTAL MLS® LISTINGS January 2012 January 2011 3,715 3,780

That said, buyers seem to be tired of all the doom and gloom stories about the global economy. Interest rates are good and they are keeping our Members busy with showings. ®

Carol Geurts Downtown Location 250-384-7663 Carol Geurts, President of Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty, is delighted to announce that the following REALTORS® Andrew Swan, Amanda Orr, & Andrea Knight-Ratcliff have joined our Royal LePage Sales Team.

Amanda Orr Westshore 250-474-4800

Andrew Swan Oak Bay 250-592-4422

Born and raised in Edmonton, I moved to Burnaby in 2007 to continue my education. I recently graduated from BCIT’s Marketing Management program with a specialization in Professional Real Estate. This past year has brought a lot of change to my life. In August I got married to a wonderful man, Riley, who is enjoying a successful career as an ironworker. In the fall we relocated from Burnaby to Langford where we are proud owners of our first home. I am looking forward to being able to guide other first time home buyers through that milestone and assuring they too have a positive experience. When my husband and I are not in school or working, we love to enjoy the outdoors and camp, hike and bike. Traveling is another passion that we share, and most recently we backpacked through Panama, Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

I love real estate! Being a legal assistant for many years and then a mortgage specialist with RBC has given me knowledge and experience which I am really looking forward to sharing with my clients! I am also a Director and Treasurer of the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame which is a great supporter of sports and family in the local community. I enjoy skiing, golfing, cycling and kayaking as well as spending time with my family and friends!

The first thing many people do when considering a move is drive around various communities gaining a sense of which areas they like. Buyers find out how close the major highways are and if the neighbours keep their yards tidy. Most will make sure they know the location of the closest mall. But what about public transit, colleges, schools, libraries, parks, recreation centres and fire or ambulance stations? Is the local police station close to your prospective neighbourhood? All of these factors can make or break a decision to buy a certain property.

COULD YOU SELL YOUR OWN HOME? Your home has been cleaned, freshly painted and you are ready to put it on the market. Could you sell it by yourself? No doubt you could, but when you consider all aspects of the selling process, chances are you will choose to use the services of a REALTOR® -- a licensed, trained professional who has the knowledge and skills to ensure you get the best possible price and that the selling process goes as smoothly as possible. 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?

ARRANGING

a Mortgage Now is a great time to consider buying a home. Interest rates are very attractive and there is a wide choice of homes available to suit various budgets. Still, it’s most likely you will have to deal with financing and this will mean taking on a mortgage. Sorting through the numerous mortgage options available to today’s homebuyers can be intimidating, but professional help is readily available. Your REALTOR® can offer you invaluable information along with your financial institution’s mortgage specialist and other advisors. First, it’s necessary to know which kinds of institutions will lend you money. Banks and trust companies lead the pack, but credit unions, mortgage companies and private lenders also offer funds. There is also the option of consulting a mortgage broker.

Other Terms There are some other concepts to bear in mind.

Different Mortgages A number of different mortgage options are available. Under a conventional mortgage, lenders will loan you up to 80 per cent of the appraised value or purchase price of the property (whichever is lower) to a maximum set by government regulation and you must come up with the remaining 20 per cent yourself. If you don’t have the 20 per cent down payment, a high-ratio mortgage may be available that could provide most of the required funds. The proviso is that high-ratio mortgages must be insured and the cost falls to you. Check with your lending institution or mortgage broker to see whether you would be eligible for such a mortgage. Variable-rate mortgages are usually offered for both conventional and high-ratio mortgages. If interest rates climb, you may be paying more per month in interest; if rates drop, you may be paying more off your principal. Fixed-rate mortgages, on the other hand, maintain the same rate of interest over the entire negotiated term.

Amortization refers to the time period in which the mortgage is assumed to be paid. A common amortization period is 25 years. This means interest and principal are set as if you were paying the amount borrowed over a 25 year payment schedule. Obviously, the shorter the amortization period, the less interest you will pay. Prepayment privileges are very important for borrowers to consider. These allow you to pay money against the principal, reducing the total amount of interest you will ultimately pay. Buying or selling a home need not be a daunting task. Your REALTOR® can provide you with invaluable information on finances and all other aspects of the buying and selling process.

VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD CHECKLIST FOR HOUSE HUNTING If you are thinking of buying a home in the near future, a REALTOR can provide invaluable help in finding the right home in the right price range in the area you want to live. Through access to the Multiple Listing Service, (MLS(r)) a REALTOR can give you a customized list of homes for sale that match your needs and wants and budget.

It may be that a separate dining room, a family room and fireplace is important to you. Note also the size of the bedrooms and closet space and whether there are any window coverings or adjoining bathrooms. Also make note of the flooring and room colours.

A house hunting checklist will help you keep track of the advantages and drawbacks of each home. Ensure the checklist includes the basic information regarding location, asking price, annual property taxes, mortgage terms and any applicable zoning restrictions.

Make notes on the number and size of bathrooms and the conditions of the fixtures. Check all faucets and flush toilets to make sure they are in good working order and to see if there is adequate water pressure.

Exterior

Basement

Jot down your impressions of the exterior of the home, noting the lot size and shape, position of the home on the lot (facing north, south, east or west). Note the condition of the landscaping and whether the yard is fenced. Check the condition of the siding and note whether the home has an attached or detached garage. Be sure to take a good look at the roof and note its general condition and age. It’s also important to examine the foundation of the home for any visible cracks or holes.

Interior Note whether the home has a separate front hallway. Check the windows to ensure they open and close easily and note the general condition of the doors. The kitchen is an important room in any home, so pay attention to its size, the condition of the appliances, sink, cupboard space, counter tops, flooring, lighting and electrical outlets. Be sure to ask whether any or all of the appliances are included in the sale. VICTORIA

It is also very important to ask about the type of heating, water service, plumbing (copper or other), electrical amperage and insulation.

Your REALTOR will be able to help you with questions you are unsure of. It is also a good idea to have a professional building inspector examine any home in which you are seriously interested.

CHATTELS AND FIXTURES: PUT IT IN WRITING BEFORE YOU SELL

f you are thinking of selling your home, have you given much thought to what you plan to leave with the home and what you would like to take with you, such as the washer and dryer, the fridge and stove, or even that heirloom chandelier in the dining room?

While these may not seem like important concerns right now, your failure to address them in your listing and the contract of purchase and sale could lead to a major misunderstanding with a potential buyer. The last thing you would want is the loss of a sale of your home due to a dispute or misunderstanding over a relatively minor item. A REALTOR will guide you through the listing process and will ask you what you want to include in the sale. It is a good idea, however, to make up a list before meeting with your REALTOR to ensure you do not forget something.

CHATTELS ARE NORMALLY REMOVED When chattels are included in the agreement, they must be listed in the contract of purchase and sale. It is fairly common practice for sellers to

include items, which would normally be considered as chattels, such as appliances and window coverings, in the selling price.

FIXTURES NORMALLY STAY A REALTOR will explain that fixtures are permanent improvements to a property which normally stay with the property as part of the sale. For example, if you have upgraded your wiring or heating system, these are considered to be permanent fixtures. Keep in mind, however, that the law is not always crystal clear about what constitutes a fixture. There are circumstances where you may plan to remove something that might ordinarily be considered a fixture â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like your chandelier.

Other items to consider are lawn ornaments, smoke alarms, and built-in vacuum cleaners. These types of items are generally left with the home, but some people still like to take things with them. If you tend to be one of these people, clearly state in writing what WILL NOT be included in the sale. Most buyers would assume that these types of fixtures will be included in the sale unless you specify the contrary in the listing. It is absolutely necessary that you set out these stipulations in the contract of purchase and sale.

IF IN DOUBT? If there is any doubt about a particular item, your REALTOR will include it in the list of items to be included or excluded from the purchase price. That way, if there is any question, the situation has already been addressed. If you have any concerns, talk to your REALTOR. As a trained professional, he or she will be able to guide you smoothly through the selling process and answer any questions you may have.
