There have been 10 sales of properties advertised as ‘licensed’ for rental sold on the KWAR MLS® from January 1, 2012 until December 31, 2012 9 had an available sales history Two outliers were omitted from the study. One which achieved well above average return, and one which achieved well below average return Of the seven properties analyzed, an average return on investment (ROI) of 7.81% per year was found. The average return after 5 years is 39.05% Imagine you purchase a $400,000 property with $100,000, and a mortgage of $300,000. Using the average of 39.05%, the ROI is $156,200 Your mortgage will also be paid down $39,000 using a 3.9% rate with 5 year term and 25 year Amortization This leaves you a total return on your investment of $195,200 PLUS your initial $100,000 investment+

g The low down on

dowN payMeNtS

etting a down payment together for your home purchase doesn’t have to be a major obstacle when you have the facts straight. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. has a comprehensive website, found at cmhc-schl.gc.ca, which can help guide you. Not only will you find an extensive list of how-to’s, including tips and mortgage insurance information in the online step-by-step resource guide, the site also outlines Government of Canada home-ownership incentives.

As an example, first-time buyers can still take advantage of the Home Buyers’ Plan to withdraw up to $25,000 from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), tax-free, to add to their down payment and for other purchase-related costs. A spouse or partner can also do this, giving you up to a total of $50,000 toward your new home. To avoid tax liability on the withdrawn funds, you will be required to repay the money to your RRSP account within 15 years.

If financial stability, pride of ownership, long-term investment and peace of mind sound attractive to you, check out what’s available in the GTA’s real estate market.

Selling your home?

there’S aN ageNt advaNtage

f you’re thinking of putting your home on the market, my advice is to go with a pro rather than attempting the DIY route. Selling your home can be complicated, and it’s something you want to get right on the first try.

Beyond hammering in that “For Sale” sign and waiting for the bidding wars to begin, an agent will help you primp and prep your home for the sale, set the right price based on the home’s actual value and comparables, and market it to the right people (including other agents) to generate interest. And once you have some prospective buyers knocking at your door, how much time can you realistically devote to dealing with inquiries, showing the home and sealing the deal? Selling real estate is a full-time job, not something to squeeze in between your day job and the kids’ evening soccer practice. I’ll say it again – hire a pro to do the job right.

Research potential real estate agents carefully. The Canadian Real Estate Association suggests you start your search by asking the right questions: 01. How long have you been in the business?

02. What is your average list-to-sales-price ratio?

03. How will your marketing plan meet my needs?

04. Will you provide references?

05. What separates you from your competition?

06. May I review documents that I will be asked to sign?

07. How will you help me find other professional vendors?

08. How much do you charge?

09. What if I’m unhappy with the service?

10. What haven’t I asked you that I need to know?

halton region

peel region/ orangeville

City of toronto

While sales in the Greater Toronto Area were down slightly in June compared to a year earlier, Halton region bucked this trend with a large year-over-year increase.

Sales amounted to 713 in June 2013 versus 588 in June 2012. New listings on the TorontoMLS system were also up in the region but by a lesser amount than sales in percentage terms.

“The fact that sales grew at a faster pace than new listings points to a tightening in market conditions in Halton. In other words, buyers were likely faced with more competition for listings. This generally means that there will be continued upward pressure on selling prices,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).

The average selling price in Halton was $602,314, representing an annual increase of seven per cent compared to an average price of $564,412 in June 2012.

“The average selling price grew well above the rate of inflation in June. In Halton, the housing stock is dominated by lowrise home types. Listings of singles, semis and townhomes have been in short supply from a historic perspective across the GTA this year. The result has been sustained price growth in these categories,” Mercer continues.

June sales results in Peel Region and Orangeville were similar to those reported for the GTA as a whole, with sales down by two per cent compared to the same month last year, and new listings down by a greater annual rate of five per cent. Total sales in June amounted to 2,061. New listings totaled 3,721.

“The combined area of Peel Region and Orangeville encompasses a wide variety of housing choices, which attract buyers with many different housing needs. While sales were down, so too were listings, pointing to continued market tightness and price growth above the rate of inflation,” Mercer says.

The average selling price in Peel Region and Orangeville was $464,431 in June – up by four per cent compared to $444,990 in June 2012.

“Looking forward through the end of 2013, and indeed into 2014, average selling prices are expected to increase in the GTA, including within the combined areas of Peel Region and Orangeville.

Listings remain in short supply for many home types in many areas, which means competition between buyers has remained strong. This competition will continue to prompt price growth,” Mercer continues.

In the City of Toronto, sales were down by five per cent year over year to 3,265 in June compared to June 2012. Over the same period, the average selling price was up by five per cent to $578,575.

“Sales have been down over the past year in the City of Toronto for a number of reasons. First, stricter lending guidelines prompted some would-be homebuyers to move to the sidelines, but some of these buyers started to renew their home searches this spring. In addition to stricter lending guidelines, Toronto buyers are also faced with an additional Land Transfer Tax. Polling suggests that some households, faced with this additional tax, have either decided not to purchase a home or are looking at areas outside of City of Toronto boundaries,” Mercer says.

Despite lower sales, market conditions remained tight with new listings down on a year-over-year basis by a greater amount than sales. New listings were down 12 per cent in Toronto in June compared to 2012.

“In many parts of the City of Toronto, seller’s market conditions remain in place for lowrise homes. Listings for these...have been scarce and demand has been strong.

This is why year-over-year price growth for singles and semis in the ‘416’ area code approached 10 per cent in June.”

Protect your valuables during an open house

Police will tell you that thefts from open houses do happen. Recently, Durham region police said they recovered property worth $0.5 million after a couple from Oshawa was charged with stealing during open houses.

Just how comfortable would you feel opening your home to a

complete stranger? Imagine walking away, knowing that someone you’ve never met is wandering from room to room, eyeing up and down the one place you feel most safe.

A traditional “open house” is a very popular tool for home sellers. And what buyer wouldn’t want to inspect the house closely before making the biggest purchase of their life? But it’s up to you – the owner – to protect your valuables when it comes time to schedule your open house. That’s why it is important to take advantage of all the resources available, including your registered real estate professional who can offer you tips and advice on how to plan for an open house. Visit the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) website at reco.on.ca to view the Preparing for an Open House bulletin.

Police will tell you that thefts from open houses do happen. Recently, Durham region police said they recovered property worth $0.5 million after a couple from Oshawa was charged with stealing during open houses.

Your best approach is to ask your salesperson as many questions as possible about what you need to do to prepare. Will they limit the number of

18

people allowed into the home during each showing? Will potential buyers be escorted during their visit to your home? Make sure you understand what occurs during an open house.

Other tiPs include: » Remove or safely store small items

such as jewelry and MP3 players. » Keep your bills, credit card receipts

and bank statements out of view. » Remove medications from all

rooms in the home, including your medicine cabinet. » Take inventory – and even photos – ahead of time so you’ll know quickly if anything is missing. NC

Burglar hot spots: How to protect your home when you are away

Y

ou’ve planned a family vacation this summer. You’ve remembered your passports, plane tickets and bathing suits for your trip, but did you stop your newspaper delivery, put timers on your lights, and ask a friend to watch your house? Before leaving town, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to safeguard your home while you’re away.

Dave Minor, a vice-president at TD Insurance, offers his top tips for homeowners to help protect their home before heading off on vacation:

» Consider a security upgrade. An alarm system is a great first step in protecting your home if the unexpected does occur. There are also other steps to take to increase security while you’re out of town, such as installing deadbolt locks and safes, which can help deter burglars and may also decrease insurance premiums. » Watch out for burglar “home hot spots.” Consider if a mailbox is overflowing, a driveway is empty, or if a burglar were to use overgrown shrubs and trees to hide According to a survey for TD Insurance conducted this year, many Canadians aren’t aware that mailboxes (78 per cent), shrubs and trees (81 per cent), and driveways (89 per cent) are vulnerable areas that thieves can take advantage of. Your goal when you’re away is to make it look like someone is still home, so tend to your trees and shrubs before leaving town, and ask a neighbour to collect your mail and park a car in your driveway. » Review your insurance policy. Nearly one-third of homeowners (31 per cent) incorrectly believe that if their home is robbed, their insurer will reimburse them for the stolen goods at today’s prices. However, a basic home insurance policy generally covers Actual Cash Value. Minor suggests discussing your policy in detail with your insurance provider to ensure you understand what you’re covered for.

Additionally, take inventory of valuables and keep your receipts in case you ever have to make a claim. NC

What’s available and What it Costs In the City of Toronto, sales were down by five per cent year over year to 3,265 in June compared to the same month last year. Over the same period, the average selling price was up by five per cent to $578,575.

“Sales have been down over the past year in the City of Toronto for a number of reasons. First, stricter lending guidelines prompted some would-be homebuyers to move to the sidelines, but some of these buyers started to renew their home searches this spring. In addition to stricter lending guidelines, Toronto buyers are also faced with an additional Land Transfer Tax. Polling suggests that some households, faced with this additional tax, have either decided not to purchase a home or are looking at areas outside of City of 22

Toronto boundaries,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).

Despite lower sales, market conditions have remained tight, with new listings down on a year-over-year basis by a greater amount than sales. New listings were down by 12 per cent in Toronto in June compared to last year.

“In many parts of the City of Toronto, seller’s market conditions remain in place for lowrise home types. Listings for these home types have been scarce and demand has been strong.

This is why year-over-year price growth for singles and semis in the ‘416’ area code approached 10 per cent in June,” Mercer adds.

Ready for your next big adventure?

5 tips for a stress-free summer move

T

he majority of Canadians prefer to make their big move during the summer season. There are a variety of reasons for choosing this time of year: it is easier to transport boxes in non-icy conditions, no need to worry about your belongings freezing during transport, and children’s lives are not disrupted by the transition since they are on summer holidays.

Minimize potential moving chaos by asking yourself the following questions: › Do you need to keep everything? Moving offers a good opportunity to reorganize your life by giving away, donating or recycling items that you no longer need. You’ll thank yourself later when there is less to pack and transport. › How well do you know your moving company? The Office of Consumer Affairs drafted a Consumer Checklist for choosing a moving company and it reminds Canadians to request their moving estimate in advance and be mindful of seasonal rates (a summer move can be pricier). Will your items be held in the transport vehicle overnight or in a secure facility? Consider purchasing Replacement Value Protection, which will ensure the company is liable if your possessions are damaged. › Do you have enough packing materials? Start collecting boxes and newspapers in advance; ideally you should begin packing non-essential items a month before the move. Pack and clearly label a couple of boxes with important first-day arrival items, such as toothbrushes, remote controls, medication and pet food, which could otherwise become lost in the shuffle. › Once you step in the door, what are your top priorities? After the bed is set up, most people are eager to get connected by hooking up their TV, Internet and home phone. Rogers has introduced a free service which makes this process easier by setting you up with a personal concierge agent. The agent proactively connects with customers throughout their transition, reviews order details, answers billing questions, and can assist with any changes to your order if your moving date needs to shift.

› How will you keep your new home secure and connected? When settling into your new home, another important thing to consider is how to keep your new space and your family secure. Rather than getting a traditional security system, consider Rogers Smart Home Monitoring. It provides far more than basic home security. For example, the system alerts you through text messages the moment your child arrives home from school. Rogers Smart Home Monitoring also allows you to automate everything from your lights and thermostat, to small appliances, and it even monitors water leaks and carbon monoxide levels. The best part? The whole system is controlled through your smartphone, computer or tablet, so you can stay connected wherever you are.

Entering the next chapter of your life can be a thrilling time, but like any significant life change, the process can be quite overwhelming. Control potential moving chaos by jotting down questions and tracking their completion on your personal checklist.

Second Quarter Market trendS defy suggestions of housing bubbles royal LePage forecasts modest house price gains for remainder of 2013, as canadian housing emerges from current market cycle The average price of a home in canada increased beTween

1.2 per cent and 2.7 per cent in the second quarter of 2013, according to the Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast, released recently.

According to the survey, markets across Canada continue to post gains. In the second quarter, standard two-storey homes and detached bungalows both showed a year-over-year average price increase of 2.7 per cent to $419,614 and $386,547, respectively. Average prices for standard condominiums showed a more modest increase during the same period, rising 1.2 per cent to $248,750. Royal LePage forecasts that house prices will see modest gains throughout the remainder of 2013, projecting a three-per-cent increase for the full year when compared to 2012.

Dialogue concerning the direction of Canada’s housing market has remained front and centre in recent months.

Changes to Canada’s mortgage lending rules in mid-2012 coupled with concerns about consumer debt levels, housing affordability in cities like Toronto and Vancouver and continued international economic uncertainty have prompted a number of analysts to forecast large downward price adjustments.

“As we have stated consistently since the current market downturn began late in the second quarter of 2012, this is a normal cyclical correction which brings fewer home sales and softer prices. Those hoping their predictions of a bursting bubble and cataclysmic drops in home values will come true are out of luck again,” says Phil Soper, president and chief executive of Royal LePage. “Price appreciation in most markets across the country has been well below the long-term average for Canada and will remain so through to the end of the year. We expect to see the number of homes trading hands to begin to rise slightly on a year-over-year basis in the second half of 2013, with price softness continuing until mid-2014, at which point we’ll see an emergence from the current cycle.”

Recent signals from major financial institutions in the United States and Canada also point to a turn in the tide. In recent weeks, two of Canada’s largest home-loan lenders, Royal Bank of Canada and TD Bank Group, raised their mortgage rates. At the same time, the U.S. Federal Reserve recently hinted that it may start winding up monetary stimulus later this year, should economic improvements continue.

“With the economy on both sides of the border performing better in recent months, a move off the record-low interest 28

Recent signals from major financial institutions in the United States and Canada also point to a turn in the tide rates that we’ve experienced over the past few years is likely on the horizon,” Soper explains. “Paradoxically, we expect the first increases in interest rates to be constructive for the housing market. Rising rates would be driven by a strengthening economy, reduced unemployment and improving consumer confidence. Much of the dampening effect that would come with a transition towards higher rates has already been ‘priced in’ to both consumer attitudes and financial institutions’ current lending policies.”

As of late, the condominium sector has moved to the forefront of discussions concerning the health of Canada’s real estate market with fears of oversupply in major centres like Toronto. Yet, condominium prices remained flat or posted year-over-year gains in nearly all Canadian cities in the second quarter, with a couple of exceptions in British Columbia. While condominium prices in Vancouver saw a 3.3-per-cent decrease when compared to the same period in 2012, signs of an early recovery are evident across the Lower Mainland of British Columbia.

“We believe condominiums will be a housing class of increasing importance in the Canada of the future,” Soper says. “In the short term we anticipate some market uncertainty and moderate price adjustments, particularly in Toronto which is working through a supply spike, however, the medium- and long-term prognosis remains very positive.

Demographic and city planning trends, in conjunction with shifting consumer preferences, remain supportive of this housing category.”

Low levels of inventory combined with low interest rates contributed to modest price increases in the Toronto housing market. Detached bungalow prices rose by 3.1 per cent year over year to $577,495 and standard two-storey homes saw a gain of 2.2 per cent to $683,241. Standard condominium prices remained flat, increasing by 0.7 per cent to $366,189.

Toronto home prices are expected to grow by 2.5 per cent year over year by the end of 2013, while unit sales are projected to decrease by 4.5 per cent.

Staged to sell

Prepping your home for market b y L au r a L e

I

n case you have been living under a rock, or your remote control refuses to stop at any of the multitude of home design programs on almost every channel, lets talk about staging. The definition of staging is: preparing a property for presentation on the real estate market.

A home is the single largest investment most of us make and yet if you look at the many properties listed on the realtor.ca website you would never believe it. I have seen photos of kitchens that are far from tidy, let alone clean; the recycling bin supplied by the City actually in the kitchen; beds unmade, clothing and stuff everywhere; and bathrooms where it is impossible to see the top of the vanity through the various bottles of hair and body products. It is very surprising to me, especially when you realize that more effort is put into selling a vehicle than a home.

Most people will have a car detailed before they even think of selling it, yet many don’t realize that the same principle applies when selling their house.

The process of staging is the same as cleaning out the car. First, you remove all personal possessions such as family photographs and collectibles that are valuable, especially if they are small. Get the children to help pack excess toys away. It helps if you get them excited about the move to the new house. This is also a great time to edit their possessions as well as your own. If they (or you) have not played with (or used) the specific item within a certain period (say, three months), do you actually need to have it or could someone else benefit from it? There are numerous charities around the city that will come and pick items up for donation. We have all had the call from them while we are having dinner. I almost always say “yes” and manage to find at least one box of stuff around my house to donate.

De-cluttering can be a daunting task, especially if you are the type who becomes personally attached to stuff. Sometimes taking a picture of the item can

34

help or finding a photo of your child playing with a particular toy, then let it go to a child who will appreciate it.

Often the mothers are the ones attached to the toy and not the children. If the sentimental attachment is to Aunt Mable’s china cabinet and you do not have space for it, or you don’t actually even like it, consider asking other family members if they would like it.

This way the piece stays in the family and you can visit it, but you no longer have to dust it.

This principle applies to every single item in your home.

If you do not love it, why do you have it? Tackle one room at a time and try not to get overwhelmed. It will feel great when you are done, and moving and unpacking at the new house will be much easier. Not to mention the cost savings of moving less stuff to the new house could be significant.

So, everything personal is packed, the truck has come and picked up your donations, and you are feeling a huge sense of accomplishment. Now the remaining furniture, accessories and artwork need to be placed to present each room to its full potential. The architectural features need to be highlighted and the less desirable features downplayed.

If your room has a fireplace, it is the focal point and the furniture should be placed accordingly so it is the first thing potential buyers notice. I have seen properties in which the fireplace was blocked by a sofa, because the owners didn’t use it. Place the furniture to accentuate the fireplace.

The television is often a problem, competing as the focal point (usually because it is larger than the fireplace). However, in most cases the television does not stay with the property so a compromise is necessary and sometimes the television loses. Replacing the large TV with a smaller one from another room or borrowing from family or friends is a great solution until the property is sold. This option can be met with scowls and resistance, but be persuasive and use whatever method necessary to get the smaller television in the room. The size of the television can make a room look smaller than it actually is – not what a potential buyer wants to see.

Next comes downplaying the less desirable spaces such as an oddly shaped room. The rule of thumb with these particular challenges is “less is more.” Choose one purpose for this area and stick to it, keeping it simple and neat – perhaps a reading nook with a comfortable chair, ottoman and a side table with a lovely lamp suggesting a relaxing place to sit at the end of the day. Staging is all about suggesting a lifestyle by creating vignettes that will appeal to buyers.

In the kitchen and bathrooms, cleanliness is of utmost importance. All small appliances not used daily should be stored away. The container holding the wooden spoons and spatulas needs to be put into a drawer because this suggests a lack of storage. And the knife block needs to be put away because it may be a security risk to the agent, aside from the fact that they are not pretty. Use a basket to contain all the lotions and potions in the bathroom. This allows you to store the basket when not needed, yet access it easily, leaving the counters clutter-free and neat. Clean, fluffy towels and a neutral shower curtain are very important. Fresh flowers are also fantastic in all bathrooms.

Hiring a professional stager to help with the sale of your largest investment can cost as little as a one-hour consultation to get you started in the right direction. Take the time to prepare your property for the real estate market because the photographs posted online need to be as amazing as possible.

You may be competing with your neighbour who thinks the recycle bin from the driveway is more efficient in the kitchen.

Whose property will the potential buyers want to tour first?

there is no need for renegotiation. As most real estate agents know, renegotiation is very difficult. Vendors have already mentally sold the house; purchasers are suffering buyers’ remorse. Egos, pride and frustration can muddy the already emotional waters. A vendor who pays for a home inspection will be further ahead than one who has to renegotiate. He or she may even sell the house faster. unreaLiSTic VenDorS An inspection at the time of listing can also help a realtor deal with a vendor who has unrealistic expectations. The inspection report is good ammunition for explaining why you can’t ask top bucks for a house which is not in top condition. rePairS Prior To SaLe Sometimes,

I

t’s important to have a home inspection done before listing your home for sale. Home inspections have traditionally been for the benefit of the purchaser. However, pre-inspected listings benefit all parties – purchasers, vendors and realtors. Where’s how: Home inspections, performed as a condition of the offer, can kill deals.

Sometimes this is because the purchaser gets cold feet; sometimes there’s a big problem no one knew about. Sometimes it is because the house has been misrepresented; sometimes it is because the home inspector scared the purchasers by not explaining that minor and typical problems are just that – minor and typical. If the home inspection is performed prior to the house being listed, all parties will be aware of the physical condition of the house before an offer is drawn.

There will be no surprises after the fact. Deals will not fall through.

DeaLS Won’T FaLL Through

the home inspection will reveal items that should be repaired immediately.

A pre-inspected listing allows the vendor to repair the problem prior to putting the house on the market. If the inspection occurs after the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the purchaser could walk, renegotiate or, depending on the inspection clause, the vendor may have the option to repair. A repair done by an unmotivated vendor may not be the best repair and may not meet the purchasers’ expectations. This has caused more than one deal to fall through.

The future of home inspection lies in pre-inspected listings. Offers are cleaner and deals are less likely to be renegotiated or fall through. Pre-inspected listings afford purchasers, vendors and realtors the information and protection they all deserve.

Curb appeal

puts your home in big demand

I

n a market where sellers are in competition to make the most out of their largest investment, improving your home’s first impression is one of the best ways to set it ahead of the rest of the pack.

When prospective buyers or renters drive through your neighbourhood, what do they see? This is a really important question that you need to answer because it will help you understand what your buyer is going to be looking for in a new home. Once you’ve answered this, ask yourself objectively if the front of your home is in keeping with the rest of the houses on your block. The first impression is critical in setting the mood for prospective agents and buyers. If your home’s exterior looks like it needs work, then people immediately assume that it’s a “fixer-upper.”

The opposite is true if your front yard is manicured, the roof is in good shape and the driveway is in good condition. Having a potential buyer walk through your front door in a positive mode can translate into big dollars for you.

Both Virginia Tech and the University of Guelph conducted studies in 2011 that measured the effect of landscaping on property values, and they both came to the same conclusion: basic landscaping increased the home’s value by five per cent, but more extensive landscaping, including decks and patios, increased the home’s value up to 15 per cent.

So where do you Spend the money?

Set your budget and be realistic about what you’re trying to accomplish with it. Keep in mind that you are trying to create an excellent first impression to attract potential buyers. This isn’t the opportunity for you to realize your landscaping dreams.

Consider a new paint job using a colour scheme that highlights the character of your home. Install a new front door, or at least update your door’s hardware. Even something as simple as full and healthy planters can make a favourable impact.

One of the easiest ways to improve curb appeal is to have a clean and tidy front yard with a manicured lawn. Maybe this is the opportunity to invest in some new tools to help do the job properly.

One of the easiest ways to improve curb appeal is to have a clean and tidy front yard with a manicured lawn.

Maybe this is the opportunity to invest in some new tools to help do the job properly. The best part about this type of investment is that not only will your plants and lawn look better with edging, pruning and cutting, but you also get to take your new tools with you once you’ve sold your home.

The technology for landscaping tools has made the purchasing task much easier as well. Now you can get a hedge trimmer, string trimmer, or sweeper and vac all in one system. With the Black & Decker 36V Lithium system, for example, you can use the same battery and charger for all three of those tools.

A quick prune of the shrubs with the hedge trimmer, followed by a “onearound” with the string trimmer and then tidying up with the sweeper will help you to maintain the yard in as little as 10 minutes per day.

The goal is to create an emotional connection at the first glance of any prospective buyer, so before you put that “For Sale” sign on the lawn, be sure to spend some time at the curb. NC

Electronic Agreements of Purchase and Sale:

Tech-savvy transactions on the way?

I

f you have bought or sold a home in recent years, you have probably noticed at least a few of the many technological advancements that have been developed with your needs in mind. You can now view properties on realtor.ca from your mobile phone, advertise your listing on a range of real estate websites from coast to coast, and receive the most up-to-date information on opportunities tailored to your interests from your realtor.

One step in the process that still needs to be undertaken the traditional way however, involves signing the forms required in every real estate transaction. Current Ontario legislation precludes the use of electronic signatures on agreements that create an interest in land.

Fortunately, Greater Toronto realtors, in conjunction with our professional and national associations, have been laying the foundation so that homebuyers and sellers in our province may soon enjoy the same convenience as other homebuyers and sellers in Canada.

As a result of tireless lobbying activity, a proposal by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) to amend the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000 was included in the recent budget. If passed, it will provide electronic Agreements of Purchase and Sale with the same legal protections as other forms of e-commerce. A section of the proposed amendment also gives the government time to talk with various stakeholders, including OREA, about potential measures to provide for the utmost security in your transaction.

Once the ability to use e-signatures in real estate transactions throughout the province becomes a reality, 44

the transition to doing so should be swift thanks to the efforts of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). It recently announced that it has finalized agreements with two providers – DocuSign and Authentisign – which will enable you and your realtor to include your signatures on forms that are completed securely online, known as “WebForms.”

WebForms, which are editable and always up to date with the most recent changes to real estate documentation, are accessible to your realtor from any Mac, PC, iPad, tablet and smartphone. While WebForms, which are also pre-populated with available realtor and property information, have been in use by realtors for a number of years, the opportunity to include e-signatures on these forms is a very new innovation.

Although like Ontario, not all jurisdictions throughout Canada permit the use of e-signatures yet, allowing them makes good sense. This technology lets you easily sign documents anytime, anywhere, without the time-consuming process of printing, faxing, or arranging meetings simply to provide signatures. In a world where efficiency is key to successful outcomes, and where we all need to be more conscious of our carbon footprint, I anticipate that e-signatures will be a welcome alternative for Greater Toronto Area homebuyers and sellers.

To learn more about the many ways that working with a realtor can simplify the homebuying and selling process for you, talk to a Greater Toronto realtor and be sure to visit TorontoRealEstateBoard.com where you will find market updates, plain language explanations of commonly used forms, information on government programs and more.

take time for

yourself

Put yourself out there. Life has a way of flowing effortlessly when we put ourselves out there. If there’s something you’ve been wanting in your life, take one small action toward it and notice how other things fall into place. It could be a simple phone call you’ve been putting off, a book you’ve been meaning to read or a website you’ve wanted to visit. Do it now and have faith in the power of taking that first step.

CENTRAL

by Hellen but tigieg

Tie up loose ends. Regularly schedule one hour a week to devote to tying up loose ends. These little “to-dos” take less time to complete than you think and yet, left undone, eat away at you, draining your energy and clouding your mind. If you finish in less than an hour, use the extra time to reward yourself with a special indulgence.

Eliminate catalogue clutter and enjoy mental freedom.

Are catalogues piling up on every flat surface in your office?

If you’ve had them for over three months and still haven’t read them, it’s time to take an honest look at whether they are adding value or complicating your life. Go online and remove your name from catalogues you don’t read, and cancel magazine subscriptions that clutter your life, drain your energy and rob you of peace-of-mind. You can always purchase the odd magazine or two when you have some extra time to devote to reading, such as when you’re on vacation.

T

here’s still a good chunk of summer left – warm days, sunsets, and cool drinks by the pool-side await you. Even if you can’t find the time to take a proper vacation away, here are some simple ways to bring a little peace to your everyday, just by being more efficient.

Live in the moment. We are a society of multi-taskers, but in an effort to be more efficient, we have robbed ourselves of the pure pleasure that comes from performing simple tasks. Next time you wash dishes, fold laundry or set the table, focus only on the task at hand. Engage your senses. Notice the fresh smell of clean laundry, the rainbow colours in the soap bubbles, the beauty of a table set with care (candles, flowers and cloth napkins). You’ll feel less frazzled and more peaceful.

Let go of the “shoulds.” Next time you catch yourself thinking guilt-inducing thoughts like, “I should go to the gym,” or “I have to wash the windows,” shift your perspective.

Find a way to make the task more enjoyable so you can replace the “should” and “have to” with “like to,” “want to” or “could.” Re-framing your thoughts in this manner puts you in control because you are deciding to do the task out of desire, not criticism. Another option is to re-evaluate the task to see if it really is a necessity or if you can drop it from your “to-do” list altogether.

Make bill paying easier by synchronizing due dates. Paying bills can be time consuming and difficult to keep track of, especially if they are due at various times of the month. Call all your creditors and have the due dates on your monthly bills changed to either the 1st or the 15th of the month. Put a reminder on your calendar to ensure that they’re paid on time.

Consolidating tasks saves time and mental energy.

Create kits to make life easier. Items that are used together should be stored together to make tasks easier and save you time. Store all your car-wash supplies in one bin; your gardening supplies in another. Imagine how much easier it will be to wrap gifts when your gift bags, cards, scissors, bows, tape and pen are all stored together.

The lost art of saving If you aren’t savIng, you’re askIng for trouble b y G a i l Va z - O x l a d e

D

espite all media warnings, financial planners’ tut-tutting and the popularity of books such as David Chilton’s The Wealthy Barber, which made its fame telling a simple story – “Save 10 per cent” – we are a spendthrift bunch.

We haven’t always been. We saved 10 per cent or more for 20 years, from 1973 to 1993* – more than enough time to have established the habit. Our savings rate reaching a peak of 18.5 per cent in 1982 (in our enthusiasm, did we overdo a good thing?), we bounced around the 10-per-cent mark for about a decade, and then in 1993 we began our great slide. By 1999 we’d hit a low of 3.6 per cent and in April of 2007, we finally made it into negative territory: our savings rate was -1.4 per cent.

Yes, we were officially spending more money than we earned.

Negative 1.4 per cent is a long way off 10 per cent, and an even longer way off the RRSP contribution limit calculation, which is based on putting aside 18 per cent of earned income.

You could blame our higher taxes and you’d be somewhat justified. Taxes as a percentage of our total incomes rose from 18.43 per cent in 1973 to 23.9 per cent in 1999. But you would also have to take a close look at our spending habits. What we spend on goods and services has gone up steadily since 1982. And we’ve availed ourselves of more credit. Liabilities – what we spend on our credit cards, loans, mortgages and the like – rose from .67 per cent of our annual income in 1982 to over 4.9 per cent in 1999.

Consumer credit – the money we borrow to feed our passion to consume stuff – makes up a big chunk of that as it rose from -.06 per cent in 1982 to 1.34 per cent in 1999. And according to a report entitled Canadian Economy: Personal Savings Rate put out by Industry Canada, in 1998 total accumulated debt per household

50

in Canada was equal to 114 per cent of after-tax income. Whew! How could we possibly save anything when we’re spending more than we’re making servicing our debt?

These figures seem to fly in the face of most of the predictions for how the baby boomers will behave as they age. In Boom Bust and Echo, David Foot asserted: “When you are young, you are a borrower. In your 40’s and 50’s, you are trying to build a nest egg for retirement.” Financial advisers are standing by, holding their breath, waiting for the money to come pouring in as boomers hit their peak earning years. Yet since 1993 as we watched the first of the baby boomers turn the corner to middle age, Canada’s savings rate has plummeted despite a healthy economy, low inflation and more being written about money than ever before in history.

So why aren’t we saving? It really doesn’t matter what reason we give – too much debt, high cost of living, taxes. The real reason we aren’t saving is because we’ve forgotten how important it is to save.

Perhaps the gloomiest part of the savings picture is the legacy we are leaving our children. Not only are we teaching them how to be avid consumers: spending their money on everything from trading cards at $5 a pop to horrendously expensive video gaming toys; we are, by omission, teaching them not to save. And we’re willing to allow credit purveyors to entice our children into a world of debt with nary a lesson on how to keep a balanced financial picture. For while credit card companies wouldn’t dream of issuing a credit card without an adult meeting significant credit criteria – that

is, they’d have to have a job, for example. Students in university are assaulted by easy credit, making it simple for them to dig debt ditches they must subsequently struggle out of.

Why save?

Saving gives us a sense of security and mastery over our finances. As our savings grow – be they in a run-of-the-mill savings account or invested in equities – we can take pride in our sense of discipline and increased ability to weather a storm.

The more we’ve accumulated in savings, the harder those savings work for us.

It can be truly rewarding to see substantial sums of money generated solely by our savings.

Saving takes us closer to our goals. It also creates a strong sense of independence by putting us squarely in a position of control. We have the resources to cover unexpected expenses without incurring debt at high rates of interest. We have the flexibility to take advantage of investment opportunities as they arise. We can change jobs, change homes, change countries without the sense of anxiety that comes from existing paycheque to paycheque.

The mOre we’Ve accumulaTed in SaVinGS, The harder ThOSe SaVinGS wOrk FOr uS. iT can be Truly rewardinG TO See SubSTanTial SumS OF mOney GeneraTed SOlely by Our SaVinGS. hoW to save

This is perhaps the area in which we are the most confused. If we sock away $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 a year in a retirement savings plan, we’re doing a great job of saving, right? Well, not exactly. If we had to borrow the money to make that RRSP contribution, we won’t actually have saved a nickel until that loan is paid off. And if we contribute $2,500 in an RESP for Junior and then promptly up our line of credit balance by a similar amount, we haven’t saved a cent.

Stealing from Peter to pay Paul is not saving. To actually save a dollar you have to take that dollar out of your cash flow. Putting it in a GIC and then spending it on a credit card doesn’t count. You must make the commitment that current expenditures will not exceed current income. You’ve got to spend less money than you make.

The you-don’t-have-to-think-about-it way of saving is to use an automatic debit from your chequing account to your savings account, so the temptation to spend the money is removed. Yes, it’s a bit of a head-game to trick yourself into saving.

But hey, it works! Not everyone is a born saver, after all. Some people must play the game to achieve their goals.

Back to David Chilton’s The Wealthy Barber, the advice was sound in this shortbut-sweet best-seller. Basically it boiled down to pay yourself first; put savings in a separate account; and be consistent. If you wait to see what’s left over after your expenses you’ll be justified in not saving because you won’t have much left. That’s the way it is with money. Smart savers do it the other way around. They take the money they want to save and hide it before they can spend it. Sure, it may mean cutting back a little, but that usually doesn’t hurt as much as most people think it will.

This all sounds like pretty basic information, nowhere near as exciting as a discussion of the stock market, technical analysis or long-term projections for the economy. But as simple a concept as saving appears to be, it’s the one that is being missed. And if you’re not talking about saving at home, there’s little to motivate your child to develop this life-long habit. So start talking about it.

teaching children to save

One of the most effective ways of motivating a child to get into the savings habit is with a savings-matching program. You offer to match every dollar your child saves within a specific period of time with a dollar of your own. “Molly, here’s the deal. If you can save $60 by the end of the summer, I’ll match that amount so you can begin investing.”

If watching your money grow in a savings or investment account doesn’t turn you on you’ll have to find some other motivation for saving. How about this: Just for one moment be a pessimist.

What if you lost your job, got sick or smashed up your car? Those are all good reasons to save. So is putting aside enough so you don’t have to depend on anyone else – be it the government or your children – to take care of you when days of heading into the mines are over. *All figures based on Statistics Canada National Economic and Financial Accounts unless otherwise stated.

Making the sale:

How hiring a real estate agent can save you money B y K a r a K u ry l l ow i c z

R

eal estate is an investment, so when you decide to sell your home, you want to sell it for as high a price as possible. Spending money to make money makes good sense, so let experienced, expert real estate agents earn their commissions by helping you prepare, market, show and sell your home, then close the deal.

“Realtors do a lot more than market your home and they’ve demonstrated time and again that they’re worth every penny,” says Dale Ripplinger, a Regina-based realtor and past president of the Canadian Real Estate Association.

Homeowners who have had less-than-rewarding experiences with realtors may wonder exactly what they’re getting in return for the commission they pay. They ask themselves, “How hard can it be to sell my home?” without seriously considering the answer.

A good realtor has the relevant real estate skills, business expertise and experience required to make the sale – not something a person can pick up overnight. Consumers often take their realtors’ expertise for granted until their do-ityourself efforts result in costly, inconvenient and stressful mistakes that can’t be undone.

So, before taking the sell-it-yourself route, consider these facts and realities to see what you actually get in return for the commission you pay.

Many sell-it-yourselfers end up turning to realtors when their hoMes take too long to sell, the offers are too low, and they find the process too tiMe-consuMing, frustrating and stressful 62

ResaleGTA_3213.indd 62

8/7/13 7:14:00 PM

Facts & Realities:

savings & RetuRns:

1. It’s a numbers game. Yes, you will pay a commission, but remember that the commission is typically split between the seller’s and buyer’s agents. Whether or not you have a selling agent who requires compensation, the buyer’s agent must be paid by the seller, the buyer or both, which is almost sure to affect the net amount that ends up in the seller’s pocket.

“Furthermore, if the buyer is represented by a realtor but the seller is not, the seller may be at a disadvantage as the price and contract details are negotiated,” Ripplinger says. In addition, the commission structure is common knowledge, so informed buyers will lop a few per cent off your asking price.

The commission helps cover the agents’ hard costs, which may include office space, staff, marketing (such as online, print, outdoor and radio ads, photographers, graphic designers, printing and delivery), licences and other fees. If you don’t have an agent, you’re paying those costs yourself and forgoing certain products/services or doing them yourself.

Your skilled agent provides a valuable service and deserves to be compensated for his or her time, just like you expect to be fairly paid for the job you do. Ask yourself how much time you can devote to taking phone calls, responding to email queries, showing your home and more. As importantly, will you be comfortable doing all that?

1. Selling prices tend to be higher when an agent is involved.

Here’s why:

2. Homes don’t sell themselves – people do! Consumers may find an agent willing to post their homes to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and on Realtor.ca for a reduced or flat fee. After congratulating themselves on the thousands of dollars they’ve potentially saved, sellers then find themselves wondering why their homes haven’t sold yet. They’re astonished at how much time it takes to show their homes and how awkward it can feel for the homeowner. Many sell-it-yourselfers end up turning to realtors when their homes take too long to sell, the offers are too low, and they find the process too time-consuming, frustrating and stressful.

a | Accurately and strategically pricing a home can have

a dramatic impact on just how much money ends up in the seller’s pocket. A good realtor has the skill, experience, resources and objectivity required to price the home correctly.

Your agent knows that ultimately, the market and the buyers decide what your home is really worth.

B | Exposure and the correct presentation can increase

demand, which in turn puts upward pressure on price. Realtors’ marketing efforts put your home before more people, while their input can help you show your home at its best. The website, Realtor.ca, puts your property before consumers, while the MLS gives agents more detail and apprises realtors of new, local listings via daily email blasts. “The realtor-to-realtor exposure is crucial,” Ripplinger says.

2. Qualifying buyers. Via seemingly casual conversations, selling agents can distinguish the merely curious from the serious buyers. While homeowners may be too shy or feel awkward asking subtly probing questions, particularly when it comes to financing, agents have honed this skill.

3. Referrals and discounts. Agents can refer homeowners to trustworthy, credible evaluators, home inspectors, painters, stagers and more, and often at a discounted price because of repeat referrals by the agent.

4. Feedback. Agents can better solicit and accept valuable feedback to sellers, such as too high a price or a pink bedroom that’s deterring agents and their buyers. Of course, the seller can then decide whether to act on that information.

5. Negotiating, closing and contract expertise. A savvy real estate agent will be able to help negotiate everything from conditions to pricing and closing dates to ensure the sale is completed. An agent can tell you if the deposit is inadequate, the closing date is unrealistic or the conditions are problematic.

What’s available and What it Costs The June sales and listings picture in York Region differed slightly from the overall result for the Greater Toronto Area. Sales, which amounted to 1,929, were up slightly in comparison to the same month last year and the number of new listings entered into the TorontoMLS system was the same as last year, at 3,378.

“York Region and Simcoe County are popular locations to live given the diversity of housing stock and the availability of many employment, leisure and transportation alternatives. This is why home sales have held up well over the last year and prices have continued to grow,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market 64

analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).

The average price for York Region and Simcoe County combined was $593,140 in June, representing a year-over-year increase of four per cent.

In May, “sellers in York Region and Simcoe County combined were selling homes in an average of 25 days for 98 per cent of their asking price. These statistics are indicative of tight market conditions and go a long way to explaining why the average selling price was up substantially compared to last year,” Mercer continues.

What’s available and What it Costs Durham Region sales in June 2013 were essentially flat when compared to the number of sales recorded in June 2012.

However, the average selling price was up by five per cent to $361,318, compared to $344,582 in June 2012.

“Compared to all other regions in the Greater Toronto Area, Durham Region, had the lowest average days on market, at 22. This suggests that there is a lot of interest from buyers and helps explain why average selling prices have continued to climb over the last year,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).

66

The supply of homes for sale in Durham was down this past June compared to the same period in 2012, both in terms of new listings entered during the month and active listings at the end of the month.

“The shortage of supply in listings has resulted in seller’s market conditions in Durham Region, with sales representing over 70 per cent of new listings. Market conditions are expected to remain tight through the remainder of 2013 and into 2014, meaning average price growth will continue,” Mercer says.

Give yourself a score of 1 for every “A”, a score of 3 for every “B” and a score of 5 for every “C” answer.

If your score is between 17 and 32: There are a few easy steps you can take to make your home more appealing to buyers.

If your score is between 8 and 16: You need to roll up your sleeves and get working to prepare your home for sale. Based on your responses, your home will need deep cleaning and de-cluttering before showings start.

» Clean your home from top to bottom, making sure you pay special attention to kitchens and bathrooms. De-clutter and reorganize your home. Remove any excess furniture to enhance the feeling of openness and space. Storage space is a top priority for buyers, so clean and organize your closets and storage areas. Get rid of anything you don’t need and make sure your closets are not overflowing with items. » Brighten and lighten up your home with a fresh coat of neutral-coloured paint. Soft neutrals such as pale yellow and grey can give a house a nice, sophisticated look that appeals to most buyers. » Store away your eclectic accessories and create more room on your counters and tabletops. Your unique items may be an expression of your personality, but they might also make it more difficult for buyers to visualize themselves in the space. » Finally, fix that leaky faucet and any other minor repairs that you’ve been neglecting around the house.

» Deep-clean your home, ensuring each room and surface is spotless. Make sure to remember your appliances and windows too. » Get rid of the clutter to allow buyers to properly see your home. Pack away unnecessary items and make sure counters and tables are free of appliances and personal items. If any rooms are used for storage alone, pack away the items and properly furnish the rooms. Don’t leave them empty as buyers will have a hard time visualizing living in a space without any furniture. » Remove collectibles and family photos to help de-personalize your home. Buyers will be able to imagine themselves in your space better without your personal items around.

Although your fun sense of décor and colour may suit your personality, go neutral for the sale. Adding a fresh coat of neutral paint and getting rid of unusual accessories will ensure that your home appeals to a larger pool of buyers.

If pets or a smoker reside in your home, remember that you probably won’t notice the smell if you’re around them all the time. Have a trusted friend give you an honest opinion and clean to get rid of any odours.

Lastly, don’t forget about curb appeal. First impressions count, and buyers begin to form an opinion as soon as they pull into your driveway. Keep your yard neat and tidy with your lawn and shrubs trimmed, and flower beds weeded. Store away your children’s toys and garbage bins, and give the exterior of your home a good wash or a fresh coat of paint.

If your score is between 33 and 40: Your home is in top shape and will only need a little bit of work to bring in that sale.

One great way to stimulate buyers’ imaginations is to set the scene. Put fresh flowers on the mantel and set the dining room table for a formal dinner. If it’s a cold day, light a fire in the fireplace. Look at your home through the buyers’ eyes and create an atmosphere that will help them envision themselves living there.

To further enhance your home’s curb appeal, spruce up your flower beds with fresh, seasonal plants and ground cover to give the home additional touches of colour.
