GRAND OPENING! WHY PAY RENT? Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest rates are very low. The last time in history the rates were comparable to what they are today was in the 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s however this is not likely to last for much longer. The economy is recovering causing the bond rates to rise which is why we are starting to see the ďŹ xed rates increase from historical lows. Getting pre-approved for a property now is more important than ever. The payments are based on a three year term at 3.09% over a 25 year amortization. Rates are subject to change without notice.

WHY BUY NOW? Real Estate follows a cycle. It goes up and it goes down with a general frequency of about 6-8 years from a peak to a valley. We have seen declining prices since 2008 and all indications are that we are likely approaching the bottom of a cycle in the next year or so with 2014 being forecast as the year of transitions. That means we can expect prices thereafter to start going up again. While buyers are reluctant to buy will prices are going down, the time to buy is before they start going up. The Sequoia Town Homes have been priced $5,000 below current appraised values as an added incentive and offer great value so why not buy now!

STAGE YOUR HOME FOR A QUICK SELL (NC)— In today’s real estate market, a coat of paint and a good cleaning aren’t enough for a quick sale at top dollar. You need to inspire the buyer’s imagination and make them want to live there – and that is where home staging comes in. When staging, the three rooms that can make or break a sale are the kitchen, master bedroom and family room. Buyers have the high expectation for these spaces, so they should be the priority. The family room is often the ﬁrst stop on the tour and it provides a huge opportunity to create impact, easily. • Add a ﬁreplace – this one element creates an inviting focal point with wow power. If you don’t

have an existing fireplace, electric is the way to go –and this change can be yours in a flash. Innovative companies like Dimplex, for example, offer a number of designer options for every décor style. The plug-andplay designs make installation a breeze. • Paint – You’ve heard it before, a fresh coat of paint will give your rooms a clean, inviting look. White or neutral is a safe bet, but consider creating an accent wall surrounding your fireplace for real impact. • Remnant rug – A new rug can warm up the

room, and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. Check out carpet showrooms, as you will usually ﬁnd remnants of carpet that have been bound. A neutral rug will help to ground the space. • Accessories – Clean and modest is key. Simple groupings of pillows, candles and frames, and a throw will make the space appear polished, but lived in. Personal photos and half burnt candles are a no-no.

Build an eco-friendly home to withstand extreme weather (NC) Did you know: Climate change experts in Canada, studying the past 16 years, say that due to higher temperatures, we will continue to cope with the destruction of weather extremes such as the colliding wind and rain systems experienced with Hurricane Sandy last year. The infrastructure and home-building industry are already on target for superior occupant protection, pointing to an energy saving concrete system that is already popular in green construction. Locking together like Lego, the

pre-assembled insulated concrete form (ICF) produces walls with hurricane and tornado impact-resistance up to 250 miles per hour. As compared to wood, these walls are also far more sound-resistant, fire resistant, and deliver energy savings and occupant health benefits as well. By eliminating wood framing, all drafts, cold spots, and potential mold growth are virtually eliminated, according to leading ICF supplier, Nudura, and homeowners report energy bill savings up to 70 per cent. Be aware that an

upgrade to concrete walls is an option to be requested before construction begins. For builders, the newest efficiencies of this type requires keeping up with latest technology and how to apply it. The switch to concrete walls represents just one of the major advancements in home construction today, so if energy savings, durability, investment value, and occupant comfort are at the top of your ‘dream home’ list, more information is available online at: www.nudura.com.

mikemais@royallepage.ca www.mikemais.com WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS DURING A HOME SALE? Many questions arise during the home-buying process. Buyers looking at homes that require a good deal of TLC may wonder who is responsible for the home’s repairs, particularly if such repairs are needed to secure a certificate of occupancy. Depending on the situation, there is no clear-cut answer. There is no perfect home, and things that are acceptable to the current owner may not be acceptable to the buyer who is looking to become the next owner. The home-buying process is typically a careful cooperation between buyer and seller to find a middle ground. The buyer may have to make some concessions, as will the seller. Ultimately, it is this cooperation that often determines if the sale goes through or is terminated. Before any negotiations can begin regarding repairs, it is adviseable for a buyer to have an independent inspector come out and look over the home and property. Most real estate agents will suggest this be done as a first priority -- even before a contract is entered on the home. An inspection will unveil any

potential problems in a home and indicate things that the buyer may not be aware of, including items that do not meet with code or could be unsafe. An inspector also may point out problems that could cause a mortgage lender to give pause. This may mean the lender will deem problems unsafe and refuse to fund the mortgage until repairs are made. A copy of this inspection report should be sent to the home seller to review with his or her attorney and real estate agent. The buyer working with his own real estate attorney and agent can petition for certain repairs to be made. Many sellers will make such repairs to ensure the purchase goes through, or they will accept a lower purchase price to compensate for the needed repairs, which the buyer will then make. Buyers might want to hire a good real estate attorney to write clauses into the contract to protect their interests. This allows the buyer to forfeit the sale and walk away from the contract should an issue arise. The rules often change when buying a home that is a short sale or in

foreclosure. A home that is in distress is typically in this situation because the current owners cannot afford to pay their mortgage, and thusly, are not able to afford repairs. According to Think Glink, a money-management Web site, buyers may try to negotiate repairs with the seller, but they shouldn’t assume that sellers (or lenders in the event of a bank-owned home) are responsible for the repairs. Generally speaking, most short sales and foreclosures are sold “as is” and may even specify that repairs and requirements for the certificate of occupancy are the buyer’s responsibility. A buyer also can ask to have the home price reduced to cover the repairs. But foreclosures are often already deeply discounted. Buyers should know that, for a home that is not in foreclosure, there are some repairs that should ultimately be the responsibility of the seller. If these repairs are not made, a buyer should think strongly about walking away from the deal, according to Why6Percent.com, a real estate marketing site. Such

repairs include: * lender-required repairs that could impact home safety * leaky pipes * water penetration issues, including a bad roof * unsafe decking or handrails * wet basements or crawl spaces * insecure foundations or obvious structural damage * poorly functioning sewer lines or septic system It is always adviseable for buyers to speak with a reliable real estate attorney and a trusted real estate agent to guide them through the process of buying a home. These people can help buyers navigate the important decisions that can affect the home they’ll be living in for the next several years. SH132876

www.cowichanhomesforsale.com characteristics they want in a home, and what they are and are not willing to compromise on. Saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I doâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to a mortgage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Couples need to give as much thought to their mortgage as they do to their dream home. This includes discussing the size of the down payment, amortization period, type of mortgage and payment schedule.

COMMITTING TO A MORTGAGE WITH YOUR HONEY?

Consider these house hunting essentials (NC) House-hunting couples have many important decisions to make together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from deciding on a new-build condo or centuryold bungalow to agreeing on the ideal neighbourhood and the type of mortgage that will work best for them. According to research from TD Canada Trust, 73% of Canadians bought or expect to buy their first home with their significant other. Since a home is the biggest purchase most couples will make, Farhaneh Haque,

director of mortgage advice at TD Canada Trust, provides her top three tips to ensure couples are on the same page before hitting any open houses. Air out financial closets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Couples should be open and honest about their current financial situation and financial history. If anything could affect the ability to secure a loan together, afford monthly mortgage payments or interest rate increases, be upfront about it.

Start on the same foot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; From a home office to a kitchen made for entertaining, couples should set a budget and discuss the key

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last thing couples want is an unwelcome surprise when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to sign on the dotted line,â&#x20AC;? Haque said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By speaking with a mortgage specialist well before youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve entered the pressure-cooker of the house hunt, couples can make informed decisions that can save money and stress in the long run.â&#x20AC;?
