USING THE INTERNET TO SHOP FOR A NEW HOME?

Neil Everett — Fri, 06 May 2011 21:57:00 GMT

The internet can be a wonderful tool to help find a new home, or
it can be a frustrating time-waster. It all depends on how you
use it.
Let’s first take a look at the upside of using theWeb when home
shopping.
A good REALTOR® can point you to websites and specific web
pages where you can:
• See pictures of homes available, including in some cases
individual rooms and other property features.
• Get property details, such as lot size, number of bedrooms,
square footage, and other features.
• Find information on the neighborhood and surrounding area,
such as the location of schools, parks and public transit.
• Take a “virtual tour” (when available), which allows you to
view a home on your computer almost as if you were
walking through it in real life.
Previewing specific homes online can save you a lot of time. You
can quickly get a sense for whether or not a property meets
your basic criteria before traveling to see it in person.
But there is a downside to relying too much on the internet to
preview homes.
Pictures and descriptions on the internet don’t always tell the
whole story. It’s entirely possible for a home to look
unappealing to you on a website, yet turn out to be the perfect
home when you actually go to see it. (Imagine not seeing it and
missing out on that potential dream home.)
In addition, even these days, some homes are listed and sold so
fast that they never make it to the internet. So if you rely too
much on websites to find homes, you might miss out on
opportunities.
The solution? Work with a REALTOR® who knows how to find
homes on the market that are a good match for you, and knows
how to make the entire home buying process go quickly and
smoothly.
Need help finding a new home? Call Neil Everett, Broker, today!

The Market is Heating UP!

Neil Everett — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 20:20:00 GMT

Feb 18 2011
It may be still cold outside but the "SPRING" real estate market starts early! With historically low interest rates, strong employment numbers, and a recovering economy, there's every reason to have confidence in this years real estate trading!
A shortage of good listing is the by word at the moment, resulting in IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR SELLERS! Good well price homes are selling at or above asking prices in many cases lately!
So if you're a seller, and want top dollar for your home, NOW IS THE TIME TO LIST AND SELL IT! Worried about what to by or if you can find a home? Well that's where and experienced Realtor comes in. He/she can "be on the lookout" for you while your home is listed for sale, and should you receive an accepable offer, (and you likely will!) then a longer closing date can be negotiated, allowing plenty of time to find the "right" home.
As the spring market progresses, more and more homes will become available, meaning more selections for buyers, but more competition for the sellers. The smart sellers get out EARLY, meaning NOW!

Buying A Home; What You Can Afford

Neil Everett — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:12:00 GMT

If you're thinking of purchasing your first home, you probably have a lot of great ideas about what you'd like - such as several thousand square feet of living space, a two-car garage, large fenced-in lot, one or two fireplaces and a panoramic view. But it may be time for a reality check.
Most first-time buyers want their dream home right away. However, that dream home likely sells for several hundred thousand dollars and the down payment is more than you earn in two years. Not to mention the mortgage payments - which are three times your monthly take-home salary!
The best way to deal with this reality is to match your financial capabilities with the home that meets as many of your needs as possible.
Many first-time buyers purchase what is commonly known as a "starter home." There's nothing wrong with this approach. In fact, it's good common sense to avoid buying a home that will stretch your budget to its breaking point. Remember, the starter home is just that - a way to get started in long-term real estate investment.
To see how much you can afford, you should take a close look at your financial situation. The vast majority of home buyers lack the funds required to buy a home without assistance from a bank or other financial institution (commonly called a "lender"). So, for most of us, buying our first home means combining our savings with money borrowed through a special type of borrowing arrangement called a "mortgage."
Borrowing to purchase is not only acceptable, it's desirable. Even people buying millions of dollars' worth of real estate borrow to make the purchase
There are two types of costs in buying a home:
the amount of money you'll need for the initial purchase; this consists mainly of the down payment and other costs such as legal fees and taxes; and
the ongoing costs of paying back your mortgage, along with monthly operating costs for utilities, maintenance, insurance and annual property taxes.
When lenders assess your ability to buy, they look at your ability to pay both types of costs in determining how much money they will lend you. Before you ever visit a lender, you can predetermine this amount, using the same formulas they do.
Lenders use several factors in judging your ability to handle a mortgage, including your income, employment record and credit worthiness. However, one way you can estimate the price range you can afford is to look at the amount of money you have available for a down payment.
The most common mortgage is a "conventional mortgage." In this type of arrangement, lenders will loan up to 80 per cent of the "appraised" value (estimated market value) of the property or the purchase price - whichever is lower. The remaining 20 per cent is the amount you will contribute as down payment.
If you want to buy a home that has an appraised value of $200,000, a lender may loan you 80 per cent or $160,000 on a conventional mortgage when you contribute a down payment of $40,000.
This assumes, of course, that you have sufficient income to make the payments on a $160,000 mortgage (80 per cent of $200,000). Most lenders will not permit a borrower to take on a debt load the borrower can't carry. That's why reputable lenders "qualify" potential borrowers before issuing mortgages.
Most lenders say that your monthly housing expenses (mortgage payment and taxes), plus condominium maintenance fee, if applicable, would not exceed 35 per cent of your monthly gross family income.
This is called your Gross Debt Service (GDS) ratio. Some lenders will go as high as 35 per cent, depending upon a number of variables.
Lenders also use a second calculation in qualifying you for a mortgage. It's called the Total Debt Service (TDS) ratio. Generally speaking, no more than 40 per cent of your gross family income may be used when calculating the amount you can afford to pay for mortgage payments and taxes plus other fixed monthly expenses.
These other fixed costs are your ongoing commitments and can include auto, student or personal loans, as well as revolving charge accounts. Again, the 40 per cent calculation may vary slightly among lenders.
By knowing exactly what you can afford, you can make your home purchase with confidence.

GTA REALTORS® REPORT DECEMBER RESALE HOUSING MARKET FIGURES TORONTO, January 6, 2010 --

Neil Everett — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:02:00 GMT

Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 87,308 MLS® transactions in 2009 – a 17 per cent increase over 2008. This result included 5,541 sales in December. The 2009 result was in line with the healthy levels of sales experienced between 2004 and 2006, but lower than the record of 93,193 set in 2007.
“After a slow start to the year, existing home sales rebounded during the second half of 2009,” said TREB President Tom Lebour. “As consumer confidence improved, many households moved to take advantage of affordable home ownership opportunities in the GTA. The strong residential real estate sector was a key contributor to overall economic recovery in Canada.”
The average home price in 2009 climbed four per cent to $395,460. The average price for December transactions was $411,931. “Market conditions became very tight in the latter half of 2009. Sales climbed strongly relative to the number of homes listed for sale, resulting in robust price growth that more than offset average price declines in the winter,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “A greater supply of listings in 2010 will see home prices grow at a sustainable pace.”
Summary Of December Sales And Average Price December 2009 2008 :
Sales Average Price Sales Average Price City of Toronto ("416") 2,403 $441,607 1,105 $387,482 Rest of GTA ("905") 3,138 $389,205 1,472 $341,847 GTA 5,541 $411,931 2,577 $361,415 Source: Toronto Real Estate Board Greater Toronto

How Much Is It Worth?

Neil Everett — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 19:10:00 GMT

HOME SWEET HOME...HOW MUCH IS IT WORTH?
Countless Canadians check their stock and mutual fund portfolios every day....on line, in print and on TV.
But they fail to take stock of an even weightier investment: their home!
Are you amoung the 95 % of Canadians who are unaware of the market value of their home?
A Comparative Market Analysis done by a Real Estate Professional can bring you up to speed. As the name suggests, a CMA compares your house with similar one's on the market in you neighbourhood during a specified time period.
This data, combined with upgrades, will give you an accurate picture of of what your home is worth. Remember however, your personalized CMA is a "snapshot" captured in time, and the estate market constantly fluctuates, therefore it's a good idea to have one done annually.
The CMA is the only market based means of measuring value. When buying, selling or refinancing, a CMA is essential in setting price and choosing advantageous timing.
Still there are numerous other reasons to run a CMA - to gain a realistic picuture of your net worth, or to leverage your equity, or obtain adequte insurance.

Surviving A Bidding War

Neil Everett — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:15:00 GMT

You’re about to make an offer on a
home. Then, to your despair, you
find out that three other offers have
also come in for the same property.
Be careful. It’s all too easy to get
swept up in the excitement and, like
a hand raised one too many times at
an auction, end up paying more for
the home than you had intended —
or can afford.
Working with a good REALTOR® will
increase the odds of getting the
home at a price that’s right for you.

Assessing A Property's Long Term Potential

Neil Everett — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 23:10:00 GMT

You see a home on the market that you like. Should you buy it?
Before you make an offer, it’s a good idea to get a sense of the
property’s long-term potential. After all, a property is not just a
potential home, it’s also an important investment.
Here are some things to look for when viewing homes on the
market:
• Is the area’s average income increasing? The more affluent a
neighborhood becomes, the higher the property values.
• Are employment opportunities growing nearby? If jobs are
leaving the area, housing prices will likely decline.
• Are there any nearby housing or community developments
that will enhance the quality of life in the area? If a park with
a quiet walking trail, or a prestigious golf course, is being
built nearby, the value of the neighbourhood will increase.
• Is the crime rate on the rise or decline? This can have a
significant impact on future property values.
• Are there public transit lines located nearby? Studies show
that housing prices increase in areas where public transit is
close and convenient.
• Is the property located in a neighborhood dominated by
higher priced homes?
• Does the property have features that will always be valued
by home buyers, such as a large kitchen, spacious backyard,
and professionally finished basement?
• Are there short-term negatives about the area that will
eventually disappear, such as loud construction projects?
Once those negatives are gone, house prices will often jump.
