Thinking about buying or building a new home?

Take advantage of this 3-week open house event!

A

new home comes with much excitement. It’s the beginning of new opportunities and the source of great pride, especially when you turn the key for the first time and walk through your front door. Before you get to that stage, there is a process you typically experience, as your ideas start to take shape and you make your decision to start the construction process working toward the end result – your new home.

To help with this process, the Canadian Home Builders’ Association - Nova Scotia (CHBA-NS) hosts a Parade of New Homes

Homes by Location & Community

19

that highlights some of the best in new home construction in the province. In its 29th year, the CHBA-NS aims to provide homeowners and future homeowners with a greater understanding of options and trends that are available for their new home – everything from energy efficiency, to best use of space; from new design features to aging in place features, just to name a few.

“The Parade of New Homes is all about possibilities,” says Sherry Donovan, CHBA-NS chief executive officer. “It makes a difference when you can see and feel for yourself what the latest trends are in new construction and helps to make the decision-making process a little easier when you are considering a new home.”

Donovan adds that although online research is a great option, when it comes to seeing the styles of various builders, new ideas and thinking about things you may not have considered, there is nothing that compares to actually visiting the entries in the Parade of New Homes each year. Seeing,

touching and visualizing your options – plus speaking with the professionals that can actually make it happen.

If building or buying is in your plans, or a dream in your future, you are encouraged to visit the 33 houses which are all part of the three-week Parade of New Homes campaign, taking place each Sunday from 1-4 pm, May 28, June 4 and 11. You will find houses of all different styles, designs, sizes and prices to best match to your specific lifestyle, wants and needs. Take the time to tour through the homes, talk to the professionals and start turning your plans into reality for your new home.

Why does it matter?

Would you allow a non-registered, uninsured financial “expert” complete control of your life savings or retirement investments?

Then why would you allow just anyone to work on your home?

Your home shelters and protects you and your family. It is quite possibly one of the largest single investments you will ever make. Don’t let just anyone in the front door.

Tips For New Home Buyers It’s closing day on your new home, now what?

Buying a home is one of life’s milestone moments. Once you have chosen your new home and are in the process of buying, you should know that there are other costs over and above the cost of your home that you should be prepared for. A REALTOR® can walk you through: LAND TRANSFER TAX:

The land transfer tax is a one-time tax levied by your province when you purchase a property. The tax is based on a percentage of the purchase price of the property, and varies from province to province and from municipality to municipality. It can range from 0% to 1.5%.

ASSOCIATED LEGAL COSTS:

Legal costs cover your lawyer’s fees such as reviewing the terms of the offer; conducting a title search on the property; registering a new title; and obtaining relevant documents, such as surveys and evidence of liens on the property.

TITLE INSURANCE:

Purchasers may obtain title insurance policies which provides protection against survey problems, e.g. boundaries, encroachments and undisclosed rights of way; as well as protection against building by-law and zoning infractions and more.

WHAT OTHER COSTS CAN YOU EXPECT?

Service charges from utility companies for hook-ups on electricity, gas, internet and telephone services, appraisal fees, moving costs , storage costs if you must leave your current residence before you are able to move into your new home, furniture and appliances.

More information on how to find your REALTOR® can be found on www.TrustedGuide.ca

The Nova Scotia Association of REALTORS® represents more than 1,500 brokers, salespeople and affiliate members throughout the province.

Buying a home doesn’t have to be stressful.

Choose a REALTOR to be your trusted guide.
