taking control

of your movE

hether you’re relocating from one coast to the other or moving to your first place out of your parents’ home, changing homes can be hectic, exciting and certainly stressful. But, relax.

You can eliminate all of the anxiety associated with moving by taking control of the situation with confidence.

If you decide to move yourself, book a moving truck well in advance from a reliable company that can help give you tips on moving as well as advice regarding the size of vehicle you will need.

If you decide to go with a pro, ask your friends and family to recommend a mover.

Call at least three companies to ask about their services and then decide.

Professional movers can do everything for you if you wish, from packing and unpacking, to disconnecting appliances and electronics, but of course there’s extra cost involved.

Make sure you understand the terms of your agreement no matter what you decide, as well any other additional costs such as insurance and mileage so you can budget accordingly.

Finalizing the

DEaL

othing can quite prepare you for buying a home. No two deals are alike, and finalizing a deal can prove to be arduous.

Buying a home isn’t at all like any other purchase you’ll make. Never mind that it’s an enormous financial obligation, there are so many factors to consider that it can seem mind-boggling at times. Finding that perfect home is one thing – closing the deal is another. Agreeing on price, moving dates, adding conditions and hashing out chattels can be an intense process. Having an inspection – and often an appraisal – can throw wrenches into what everyone thought was a done deal. Occasionally the lawyer will turn up something – a lien or a work order – against the title which can, again, unexpectedly affect the agreement of purchase and sale.

One way to give yourself a bit of security is to take care of finances. Get preapproved. While this gives you a fairly firm budget, it also locks in the interest rate, and every point counts! But even if your mortgage is in place, do yourself a favour and check your credit. If there’s anything outstanding – whether it’s a bill in default or an actual error on your credit report, the bank won’t let you close until it’s settled. It can get crazy in the last few days before closing if anything unexpected crops up.

A combination of a good agent and a strong understanding of the process through research and expert advice – like the articles featured in Resale Home & Condo Guide – will help prepare you for that purchase.

starting to look like a dog’s breakfast By ya n gu r e v ic h

B

ankers and mortgage brokers need to pay closer attention to what really matters to consumers when it comes to choosing the right mortgage ingredients.

Is Rate the only, or most important ingredient of your mortgage that should matter? Are all other aspects of your mortgage just fillers?

Speaking of fillers…

I saw a dog food commercial that declared that the their brand contains chicken as its first ingredient. It also says that is contains a supplement that is supposed to make your dog’s eyesight better.

Now, is that the best information for the human? For the dog? Or for the label to sell? What about the other four first ingredients which make up the bulk of the total ingredients in a lengthy list?

Is this formula really satisfying to you because it is priced low, or is it best for your dog?

I can tell you now that the other four top ingredients would not make my personal diet list. Certainly my dog couldn’t get excited over those fillers, By all accounts they are unhealthy, full of cheap belly fillers, but offer no nutritional value. Is that good for anyone?

Ok, I know, this is a long stretch to compare dog food to mortgages. But does your mortgage contain these “filler” ingredients – or “options” – that are truly important to you?

Actual mortgage options that you will ever have a chance to take advantage of. (i.e 25 per cent annual overpayment privilege, transferability, portability, skip a payment, double up payments, weekly accelerated payments.)

• Timely service.

• Lender to automatically renew your mortgage at the lowest market rates, and not at bank’s posted rates (typically over one per cent higher than discounted rates), – without requalifying you.

• Personal attention – day, night and weekend.

• Commitment to searching for all alternatives prior to offering the right ones, instead of pushing onto you the one or two options the management is told to push that week.

Now, if these are not attractive ingredients for your mortgage, what are?

Most consumers have one question on their mind: What’s your rate? Is that because advertisers reduced our choice

matrix to that one factor? What happened to old-school customer services and representation? Were we just as obsessed over rates then, or did we bank where we knew that consultant had the right approach, the correct product and that the institution was truly committed to helping us?

There is a dog food on the market that comes from Alberta. The first four ingredients on the list read as follows: Fresh deboned wild boar*, fresh deboned lamb*, fresh beef liver*, fresh deboned pork*.

For real? Anyone getting hungry? When was the last time a mortgage read like this ingredient list?

For the client who doesn’t know the difference between dog food and mortgages let me save you the time and assure you that rate won’t make you as hungry or excited as the right options of your mortgage should. Still, a good advisor should automatically offer you their best, most competitive rate as a starting point. But if rate is all you really expect from your lender, then you may want to rethink what you are feeding your dog.

Your mortgage shopping spree should leave you almost as happy as my dog feels when I feed her that Alberta premium brand.

Great thing about mortgages is that a premium brand of mortgage doesn’t mean it is more expensive. Unlike dog food, you should just expect more.

Still with me? Then I have a cat food story that will have you in stitches…

Realtors applaud passage of electronic signature amendment Amendment part of 2013 Ontario Budget

T

he Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) applauds the passage of the 2013 provincial budget that contains provisions which will bring electronic real estate agreements of purchase and sale one step closer to reality in Ontario.

The budget bill includes an important amendment to the Electronic Commerce Act (ECA), 2000, extending the legal protections of the ECA to include electronic real estate agreements of purchase and sale.

Currently, Ontario Realtors are reluctant to use electronic agreements due to their exclusion from the Act. “This amendment means that Realtors

and consumers will soon have the confidence to use technology that improves the speed, efficiency and reliability of real estate transactions,” said Phil Dorner, a Windsor area Realtor and president of OREA. “This is great news for Realtors as well as consumers across the province.”

Electronic agreements of purchase and sale improve transaction efficiency by reducing the time required to complete a deal.

“At present, agreements of purchase and sale are often faxed, scanned and emailed numerous times over the course of a transaction,” said Dorner. “This process can be cumbersome and by the time the final version is signed, the agreement can be difficult to read. The technology allows agreements to be filled out on a computer or tablet, changes can be tracked and documents can be transmitted with ease.”

It is important to note that the government has included a section along with OREA’s proposed amendment that says it will come into force upon proclamation. This section is meant to allow the government time to speak with various stakeholders, including OREA, about certain matters pertaining to the amendment, such as security measures, in anticipation of the amendment coming into force.

“We look forward to working with the government to get this important change proclaimed into law,” said Dorner.

“Electronic agreements of purchase and sale are commonly used in jurisdictions across the United States and it’s about time Ontarians have access to them.”

Inspiration for the amendment comes from a private member’s bill introduced jointly by Prince Edward-Hastings MPP Todd Smith and Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi (now Minister of Labour) in May 2012.

“OREA would like to thank Minister Naqvi, MPP Smith and Attorney General John Gerretsen for championing this issue on behalf of Realtors and consumers. OREA would also like to thank Minister Sousa and Premier Wynne for including this important amendment in the 2013 Ontario Budget.”

About the Ontario Real Estate Association: The Ontario Real Estate Association represents over 56,000 brokers and salespeople who are members of the 41 real estate boards throughout the province. OREA serves its Realtor members through a wide variety of professional publications, educational programs, advocacy, and other services. www.OREA.com

Actual overall residential sales were three per cent higher than the previous year at the same time. Residential freehold sales were 3.6 per cent higher than last year while the condominium market saw an increase in sales of almost one per cent.

The average sale price of freehold properties showed an increase of 12.3 per cent over the same month last year; the condominium market saw an increase of 14.1 per cent when compared to the same period last year.

“The jump in the average sale price should not be taken as an indication that the Greater Hamilton, Burlington and outlying areas have become unaffordable”, added Godsoe. “A closer look at the sales Please say you saw it in Resale Home & Condo Guide

The average sale price is based on the total dollar volume of all residential properties sold. Average sale price information can be useful in establishing long term trends, but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value.

The average days on market increased from 38 days to 39 days in the freehold market but decreased from 44 days to 37 for condominiums.

Year to date, listings are down 2.1 per cent compared to the same period last year, while sales are 4.6 per cent lower.

The average sale price for the first five months of the year is 7.5

per cent higher than the same period last year.

Canadians interested in reCreational property feel added urgenCy to leap while rates are low Consumers maintain optimism regarding Canadian recreational property market, according to Royal LePage survey

A

ccording to a new survey released recently by Royal LePage, interest rates factor hugely into the decisions of Canadian households when it comes to purchasing a recreational property.

The survey, which polled Canadians across the country who either currently own or intend to purchase a recreational property within the next five years, found that most (82 per cent) Canadians say interest rates will influence their decision to purchase a recreational property – and a majority (58 per cent) feel added urgency to buy a recreational property while interest rates are low.

Survey respondents demonstrated overall optimism regarding the Canadian recreational property market.

When asked what they believe recreational property prices will do in the coming year, half (50 per cent) of respondents indicated that prices will increase and one-third (32 per cent) said they will stay the same. And

of those planning to purchase a recreational property within the next five years, 76 per cent said they are more inclined to buy a property in Canada than in the U.S. or elsewhere.

“Despite financial and economic uncertainty, or perhaps because of it, we have found that the enduring value of recreational properties is widely-recognized by Canadians,” said Phil Soper, president and chief executive of Royal LePage Real Estate Services. “In contrast to our large urban centres, where home prices shot up in recent years before rapidly cooling in 2013, the recreational property market has remained remarkably stable and resilient.”

Soper continued, “I shy away from recommending real estate as an investment for the typical family.

Shelter is, after all, primarily consumption. However in Canada today, where we see virtually no return on bonds and other forms of modest risk savings, it is

reasonable to view recreational property in a new light.

This prolonged low-interest environment supports purchase decisions based upon lifestyle and supported with a sound investment thesis.”

According to the survey, the majority of current recreational property owners plan to keep their properties long-term, with 60 per cent stating that they are somewhat or very unlikely to sell their property upon retirement. At the same time, almost two-thirds (64 per cent) are not planning to use their recreational home as their primary residence upon retirement. For those planning to purchase a recreational property for retirement, financial feasibility is among the most important factors they are looking for, with affordable purchase price (56 per cent) and reasonable maintenance costs (39 per cent) topping the list.

Waterfront access (37 per cent), proximity to town (33 per cent) accessible medical facilities (26 per cent) and proximity to their primary residence (22 per cent) were also cited as important property attributes.

Properties on a lake are by far the leading property type, with almost half (41 per cent) of those planning to buy indicating that this is their first choice, followed by a property in the mountains or woods (17 per cent) and a condominium in a recreational community (13 per cent).

When asked what financial and/or lifestyle changes they would be willing make in order to purchase their dream recreational property, almost one-third (31 per cent) said they would rent their property out during the year.

Other strategies include reduce discretionary spending (25 percent), downsize primary residence (24 per cent), purchase a fixer-upper (23 per cent) and purchase with friends/family (22 per cent).

“Canadians have long valued the ability to escape the city to spend time with friends and family,” said Soper.

“A place to get away from the pressures of daily life seems to be more attractive now than ever. From coast to coast, Canada offers some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes and friendly communities.”

The survey was commissioned as part of the 2013 Royal LePage Recreational Property Report, an annual market analysis of recreational property prices, trends and activity in selected leisure markets across the country.

The following chart shows the typical price range for standard waterfront, land-access properties across Canada in 2013.

MEthOdOLOGy

The survey was completed online from April 30 to May 9 using Leger Marketing’s online panel, LegerWeb, with a sample of 1,002 Canadians who currently own a recreational property or are looking to purchase a recreational property within the next five years.

A probability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of ±3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

You love the home,

see what You can afford! use this guide to see if You’ll qualifY for a mortgage oN Your dream home 1. Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income between you and your spouse.

2. Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your home.

3. Take the total price of the home and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment. This is the money you will have to borrow.

4. Refer to the chart below. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers choose the 25-year amortization).

5. Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000.

6. Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

7. If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream home.

Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
