WELCOME MESSAGE:

LAST YEAR 21

See You Soon!

Well, last time we spoke we certainly weren’t expecting the amount of change we’ve experienced in the past couple of months! We hope you are all doing well and have found some positive ways to spend this time at home. It has given us time to reflect. We are so thankful for all the many blessings - friends, family and health to name a few. It looks like we have made it through the worst of this pandemic and are looking forward to the days ahead when we can see you all in person again - we miss you! We look forward to showing you our new office (yes we finally moved!!) at Unit 29 - 230 Broadway Street East (the new Mark’s mall).

In the housing market we have seen some changes in the way we protect our clients and the way we conduct business. At the time of writing, we have seen 29 Yorkton homes sell in the last 60 days (that’s an average of 1 home sold every second day)! There are still homes selling, and our inventory is running lower than normal, so we encourage you to give us a call to chat about getting your home on the market.

Remember, we pay $ for referrals! @DebCookRealtor

TESTIMONIALS

Why Deb & Michelle ?

“

We have had the pleasure of working with Michelle three times in the past, and I would recommend her to anyone! She is dedicated, knowledgeable and listens to your needs and wants.

We never felt like a number when working with Michelle. Every client big or small is important to her.

- Kelle K Makowetski Deb was wonderful, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to hang out with while looking at houses. We got along wonderful. She knew what I wanted after first looks for sure, and helped me get my dream home; my first home ever. So happy with the whole experience, and her services and help. Would def recommend and use again if I do ever move.

PRO TIPS:

Pandemic Home Buying

While the outbreak of COVID-19 has negatively affected global economics, we have been experiencing a positive surge in our local housing market. Normally, Spring is one of the “hot” seasons for houses being bought and sold. The improved weather allows sellers to finish renovations and cleaning, and allows buyers an enjoyable house hunting experience.

With our situation this year, both buyers and sellers have been highly motivated for different reasons. The main similarity that they have in common is that homes are a significant transaction; one not to be taken lightly or impulsively purchased. Life still continues, and some things, like moving, can’t be put on hold...even during a pandemic! With social distancing and heightened cleaning procedures in place to ensure public safety, both buyers and sellers have become more serious and more selective about properties.

This reduces contact, distractions and unecessary time spending.

If you are unsure about buying a home right now, here are three tips to help you better

6 Able Realty

PRO TIPS:

Continued..

understand your local situation:

Your Mortgage Rate is Low

With mortgage rates at an all time low, it really is a great time to consider purchasing that new home. You could be saving hundreds of dollars each month by investing in a home, versus throwing money out the window on rent. For example: A $200,000 home with a 5% downpayment and a 2.74% interest rate would leave you with a mortgage payment of approximately $420 bi-weekly (including mortgage insurance) - this could be substantially less than a rent payment! This 5 year fixed rate was taken from TMG - The Mortgage Group from their April 14th guideline. Investors should pay special attention.

These rates could mean a great ROI. It may be time for you to purchase that investment property!

You Can Still See A Home in Person

Much of what we do has moved into the digital world for the time being, but when it comes to showings, digital views cannot perceive what the eyes can pick out. That’s why we are still doing showings. We are taking those extra precautions to protect both you and the seller. If you find that you’re not entirely comfortable with showings in person, we will still make it work! The next best thing is a video call where we can show you the house live, from the comfort of wherever you are.

Consider Your Current and Future Lifestyle

When creating your list of needs and wants in a home, consider your lifestyle - both present and future. Will you need a house with a lot of yard space? Do you spend a lot of time in the kitchen? Will you be spending more time in the kitchen in the future? Perhaps this quaratine time has sparked a love for cooking, and your lifestyle has changed because of it.

These are things that are good to list out. Now, you might not get everything you want, but having a list helps to point you and your agent in the right direction.
