Hi readers, sorry I've been MIA for the past couple months. I'm back and ready to write about real estate and everything else you need to know about the market. We all want the highest price for our home and we think we deserve that. Here are a few tips and tricks when you decide to renovate your home to increase it's value
1) Transform your kitchen & Open Space -Buyers often want open spaces that over see the main floor. It is much more pricier to renovate a kitchen and open up walls but if you do so I can guarantee that you will see a major up sell of your home. Remember, In todays day and age a family does not want to be cramped up in a kitchen and not see what is going on in the living room. So tear down the walls and give the family what they…

With boxing week amongst us and the New Year around the corner we start to plan for 2014 ; make goals , resolutions and solutions. Perhaps in the new year you are looking to purchase a home and with that goal comes a handful of questions that need to be answered. Having a clear budget set is key and will help narrow down your choices, other questions you may want to ask yourself are;
Is location Important to you? Do you have a neighbourhood in mind? Is their a specific lay out you are looking for? do you care if there have been previous owners in the home? do you want your home to have character or practicality ? do you care how big your back yard is?
All these questions need to be in the back of your mind when you decide on whether you will be buying a new…

New VS Used
It's a question I'm asked on a weekly basis by my clients " should we buy a new home or is it better to buy an older home " & I often find myself on both sides of the spectrum.　There are many benefits of buying a new house but there are also benefits to buying an older house as well; it really all depends on what you want out of the home. Is it the location that you desire most or do you want everything in your home to be new and just how you wanted it.　
Customizing home to ones needs:
　Homebuilders will often let buyers help design the property; it helps create a living space that is tailored to their tastes.
　Less repairs:
　Features of new homes hold up better than those of older homes, which may have years of wear and tear

The questions for many individuals & families that sometimes still remains unanswered is when is it the right time to buy… or should you just keep on renting??? Of course the circumstances and conditions are different for everyone and the answer will never be black or white.
An obvious argument for owning a home is based on the idea that paying ones mortgage is an instant savings plan and once you pay off your mortgage your home will be a huge asset. I always advise my clients if they are able to buy a home in their area for less than 15 X what their annual rent it, it makes more sense to buy. That being said; do not spend more than 3 X what your annual income is on a home. The answer still does not seem that simple; of course if you are single,…
