Thank you very much for all you did to help me and my best friends find a home. And with that, in the same place! We are so lucky to be able to spend this time together here (only socks needed to get to each others homes haha!). 

I was in a very stressful situation after moving back after my grad studies (looking for a permanent job and a home), and I appreciate your patience and guidance through the purchasing process. Six months after moving in, I landed the job I was looking for! I feel very fortunate. I will be working hard to move to a bigger place in the next few years and will definitely be looking for your help!

Unless you're a real estate expert, you probably look at the market and think things are pretty confusing. Even a bit crazy! You hear news about “bubbles bursting”, “higher or lower home sales in a particular month”, “new home starts” that are up or down, and on and on it goes.

It’s a lot of news and a lot of jargon....

If you're thinking of selling your home within the next year or two, you will want to understand what's happening in the market so you can make the right decisions and get a clear sense of what to expect. So, how do you make sense of it all? 

Even if you don't have any definite plans to move in the near future, I am an expert in the local marketplace that can help you understand what homes in a particular neighbourhood are selling for, and what you can expect to get should you decide to list your property.

Hiring me also means you’ll have a trusted expert to talk to from time to time, when you have real estate-related questions. 

Have a great week!

Cheers,

When is it time to talk to a REALTOR®?

 

Many people only see a doctor when they're sick or have some other health concern. On the other hand, some people visit a doctor regularly for check-ups, to ask questions and get advice, and to maintain good health.

 

Which do you think is the better approach? Obviously, the second one!

 

The same thing is true when it comes to real estate. Even if you have no current plans to buy or sell a home, there are many reasons to talk to a REALTOR® regularly in order to maintain your good "real estate" health. For example, you can:

 

  • Get an assessment of the current market value of your home, so you can make an informed decision about whether to stay or move.

 

  • Ask about the state of the local real estate market (which may be vastly different than what you hear on the national news.)

 

  • Find out what homes are currently selling for in the area.

 

  • Learn what's currently available on the market, especially in neighbourhoods you would like to live in and that are within your budget.

 

  • Ask for a contractor recommendation.

 

In fact, it's a good idea to have a chat with your REALTOR® once or twice a year, even if it's just to say hello.

 

You want to build a relationship with a good REALTOR® who understands (and cares about) you and your needs. That way, when it does come time for you to make a move, you're dealing with a REALTOR® you already know and trust.

 

Don't have a good REALTOR®? Call today!

Making Your Kitchen More Attractive to Buyers

 

What's one of the most important rooms in your home? When it comes to selling your property quickly, and for the best price, the answer is clearly the kitchen. In fact, one of the most common explanations a particular buyer gives for not making an offer is, "I liked the house, but I wasn't too keen on the kitchen."

 

That doesn't mean you must do a major renovation. However, you should do what you can to make the kitchen as attractive as possible to buyers.

 

Here are some ideas:

 

First, clear the countertops. Put away the toaster and other items. You want to make the entire countertop area seem as spacious as possible.

 

If the cabinetry is old, you can spruce it up by installing new knobs, handles and other hardware. A fresh coat of paint on the walls and ceiling can also make the kitchen look like it has had a major renovation – and it will only cost you a few hundred dollars. According to an article on the website HDTV.com, "The fastest, most inexpensive kitchen updates include painting and new cabinet hardware."

 

Replacing the countertops is a more expensive renovation, but it may be worth it if the current counters are old and worn.

 

Finally, when preparing your kitchen for a viewing, make sure it's clean and tidy. The garbage and recycling bins should be empty. Buyers will open cabinets so make sure items on shelves are neatly organized with the front labels facing forward.

 

There are many other ways to make the most important room in your home look great to potential buyers. Call today for more ideas.

 

Cheers,

If you have a basement, or even just a crawlspace, the last thing you want is water infiltrating the area. Even a minor leak can cause damage to walls and flooring, and may even lead to mould issues. Here are some precautions worth taking:

 

  • Every spring and fall, check the grading around your home. The ground should gently slope away from the foundation. Pay particular attention to areas where shrubs and other foliage make the grading difficult to see.
  • Look for cracks in the foundation. Get them fixed right away. Even a minor crack that doesn't appear to penetrate all the way through can cause problems eventually.
  • Check the caulking on basement windows. If it's worn and cracked, it's time for recaulking. The lifespan of most exterior caulking is less than five years.
  • Watch the eavestroughs when it rains. (You'll get wet, but it's worth it.) Make sure the water drains well away from the foundation.

Doing these simple inspections takes just a few minutes. Yet, if they prevent a basement leak, it's time well spent!

 

Any questions, just ask!


Cheers,

How Long Does it Take to Find a New Home?

 

If you're planning to look for a new home sometime in the future, you may be wondering how long the process will take. How much time should you set aside for viewings? How many of the listed homes should you see?

 

Of course, the process varies from person to person. According to the Department of Housing & Urban Development, home buyers view an average of 15 properties before finally choosing to make an offer on one of them. That number may be a good benchmark for you.

 

On a Saturday afternoon, you can comfortably look at three or four potential properties. You can see more if you want to make a full day of it.

 

One factor that impacts the home shopping process is how clearly you know what you're looking for.

 

For example, if you're certain you want a three bedroom backsplit, backing onto a wooded area or ravine, in an upscale neighbourhood, then the process is going to be fairly simple. You're just going to view properties that closely meet that criteria.

 

But if you're the kind of person who simply says, "I'll know it when I see it", then you'll need to look at several homes on the market. That means carving out plenty of room in your schedule for viewings.

 

A good REALTOR can help you understand what's available on the market and which homes are worth seeing. He or she can also help you determine how long the process will likely take, and show you ways to make the process go more quickly and smoothly.

 

 

Looking for a good REALTOR? Call me today! :)

Thinking of Buying a property with a suite? Here are some things you should keep in mind:

 

SURREY — The City of Surrey may start fining homeowners who claim they don’t have a secondary suite, but in fact do.

Homeowners doing so will be subject to a $1,000 fine, if a corporate report suggesting the changes is passed at a council meeting Monday night.

In 2010, council approved changes to the city’s zoning bylaw to allow secondary suites. Then in 2011, the city introduced a secondary suite service fee, which is currently $495 per suite per year.

When that fee was introduced, the city’s records show there were 17,300 properties with a suite.

Since then, the city’s inventory of suites has grown to 24,150.

Once a suite fee is attached to a property, the only way to remove it is if the owner arranges for an inspection by a bylaw enforcement officer to confirm the suite no longer exists. The corporate report that was expected to go before council Monday (Sept. 23) says staff have realized some property owners are removing their secondary suites on a temporary basis to satisfy bylaw inspection, then reinstating the suite afterward.

The city is now considering a $1,000 fine that will be levied against owners in the event that a suite is found on a property not registered to have one.

Suites that are removed and inspected by the city would be subject to re-inspection if the bylaw changes are accepted, and homeowners would be fined if the suite were being used illegally.

In 2012, Kim Carron from Cloverdale told the Now she was charged the fee for having a secondary suite because she prepared a room downstairs in her home for her 69-year-old blind father-in-law and the room contained a stove.

She asked what made a suite a suite.

It turned out, the list of cooking appliances that can turn a room into a secondary suite in Surrey includes counter-top, gas or electric ranges or stoves, counter-top cooking units, hot plates, wall ovens, convection ovens, microwaves, toasters, electric frying pans, electric woks, pressure cookers and crock pots.

Check back Tuesday to see what happened during Monday's council meeting.

This past weekend i was inducted into the BC Swimming hall of Fame in Whistler, BC!! It was such an honour to be inducted and I thank everyone for their support both in my swimming career, as well as now in my Real Estate career. I would not be where I am without everyone's support!

Here is the article from the event:

 

The best of BC swimming gathered at the Fairmont Whistler resort on Saturday, September 21, as the BCSCAand SwimBC together honored outstanding accomplishments and contributions over the past year, as well as recognizing three new inductees into the BC Swimming Hall of Fame.

 

The first Hall of Fame inductee was Paul Jenkins in the builder category.  A protègé and now colleague of his, Leanne Poulin, gave a heart-felt speech in introducing Jenkins and congratulating him on his induction.

 

The other two members inducted were both in the Athlete category, the first being World Championship medalist (2005) Brittany Reimer, who was introduced by her former coach, Cory Beatt.  He recounted her undying determination, as exemplified by her rather modest initial performances at the Provincial, Western Canadian, and then National level - always culminating in her eventually getting to the top.

 

Finally, Stephanie Dixon, surely one of the most decorated paralympians ever, was introduced by one of her coaches, Ron Jacks.  Coach Jacks recounted, like Reimer, Dixon's relentless determination and never being intimidated in workout or competition.  Jacks pointed out the fact that Dixon won the same event (100 Back) in three successive Paralympic Games (2000, 2004, 2008), each time in World Record time - a feat that has been matched rarely, if ever.

 

The night also provided the setting the annual BCSCA Awards with the following winning the respective categories: 

▪   Development Staff of the Year:  (tie) Vancouver Pacific and Vernon Kokanee

▪   12&U Coach of the Year:  Andrew Lennstrom (HYACK)

▪   14&U Coach of the Year:  Rod Barratt (UVPCS)

▪   15-18yr.old Coach of the Year:  Brad Dingey (PSW)

▪   Youth Coach of the Year:  Janusz Kaczmarek (WVOSC)

▪   Junior Coach of the Year:  Tom Johnson (VNSC)

▪   National Coach of the Year:  Randy Bennett (VAS)

▪   Open Water Coach of the Year:  Randy Bennett (VAS)

▪   International Coach of the Year: Randy Bennett (VAS)

▪   Rubber Boot (Peer recognition) Award:  Ben Keast (WDSC)

The BCSOA recognized Leon Politano as the BC Swim Official of the Year, and Nancy Flood (KCS) was honored for her efforts as the Mies Schootman Volunteer/Administrator of the Year.

Vancouver Pacific Swim Club was honored as SwimBC's Club of the Year for their exceptional work in keeping one additional pool operating in the the city of Vancouver, as well as for hosting BC's first-ever two-pool long course AAA Championships.

 

Eric Hedlin who trains at the Victoria Academy of Swimming won Open Water Swimmer of the Year, while Brianna Nelson (IS) won Female Para-swimmer of the Year (for the second year in a row) for her gold and silver medals at the 2013 IPC World Championships, and Donavan Tildesley (UBCD) won Male Para-swimmer of the Year for his bronze medal at the IPC World Championships.

 

The evening closed with Greg Sanderson of Team Aquatic Supplies presenting Ryan Cochrane (Silver medalist at the 2013 FINA World Championships) as the Male Swimmer of the Year, and Hilary Caldwell (Bronze medalist at World Championships) as the Female Swimmer of the Year

How a Home Inspection Helps You:

 

Whether you're considering buying a particular home, selling your current property – or both – a home inspection can help. A home inspection is an inspection by a qualified professional who takes a close look at every aspect of a home– structure, wiring, plumbing, and more – and identifies issues you may not have noticed yourself. For example, a home inspection can reveal that a furnace will need to be replaced soon, or that there is a water leak into the basement that needs to be fixed. You'll definitely want to get a professional home inspection before you buy a particular property. That's why most offers to purchase a home are conditional upon passing a home inspection. (The last thing you want is to buy your dream home only to discover that the wiring needs to be updated!) You may also want to get a home inspection on your own home before you list it for sale. A certificate from a qualified professional that states that your home passed inspection will make your property more attractive to buyers.

 

Many reputable home inspectors are members of a professional industry association.

In Canada:

• Canada Association of Home & Property Inspectors.

(http://www.cahpi.ca)

• Professional Home and Property Inspectors of Canada.

Have a great week!

If you're listing your home for sale, then of course you’ll want to make the best impression possible on potential home buyers. But, just to have a little fun, say you don't want to sell your property. What could you do to discourage those who view your home?

 

Well, you could have your pets in the home during viewings. That will certainly make it uncomfortable for some buyers – especially those with pet allergies. You could also leave personal items around, such as family pictures and trophies. That will make it more difficult for a buyer to imagine himself and his family living there. It might even make him feel a bit like an intruder! Clutter in bedrooms, closets and other areas of the home will make those spaces feel less spacious than they really are, as well as make visitors feel uncomfortable. If you really want to turn off a buyer, then put off doing any minor repairs. A dripping tap, flickering light, dent in the wall, or other maintenance issues are certain to gain a buyer's attention. If all that doesn't shoo away a buyer from your home, then stick around during a viewing and follow him and his family from room to room. That will certainly make him feel uneasy.

 

Of course, I'm just having a bit of fun here. When you put your home on the market, you want to sell it.

 

It’s easy to avoid all the pitfalls described above and ensure potential buyers appreciate the full value of your home. So when you’re preparing for a showing, think of ways you can make your property appear its best, and make the buyer feel welcomed and comfortable viewing it.

 

 

Want more ideas on how to sell your home quickly and for the best price? Call today.


Enjoy the sunshine this week!

Cheers,

As first time homebuyers, it was undoubtedly an exciting time for us yet, at the same time, terrifying.  A 25 year commitment!  We had looked at other places and spoken to other sales representatives, yet no one was really giving us the confidence to take the plunge.  When we walked Marcon's Cornerstone show room, we were immediately greeted with smiling faces and someone who was willing to answer our questions (and come up with some that we  hadn't even thought of).  Brittany was  our main sales rep and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.  As both of us work full-time and couldn't take any time off work, she was  incredibly accommodating and would let us come after work (even if that meant staying late).  She gave us the confidence and comfort that we needed to make the final decision to buy.  Every step of the buying process was broken down for us and translated from legal jargon to English that was understandable.  Overall, we could not be happier with the experience we had and are thrilled with our purchase.

From the moment I met Brittany she has been, and till this day, an absolute pleasure to work with and a great person. I was a 1st time home buyer and she made everything from looking at what my needs and wants are down to the paper work simple and easy. I felt no pressure at during the process, she kept things simple and all the work that had to be done on her end was completed in no time.

Thank for your hard work and I hope we get to do this again in the near future!

Construction is going strong in Metro Vancouver, even though home resale prices are dropping slightly and sales activity is significantly below historical levels.

Metro Vancouver housing starts in were on pace in September to reach 20,000 units by year’s end, mostly driven by multi-family developments, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported Tuesday.

There were 293 single-detached housing starts and 1,423 multi-family housing starts in September 2012 — numbers similar to last year’s. Year-to-date, total starts have reached 14,828 units, compared to 13,260 for the same time period last year, CMHC reported.

“Full-time employment gains have supported housing demand so far in 2012,” said Robyn Adamache, CMHC’s senior market analyst for Vancouver. Continuing low mortgage rates and population growth are also keeping the numbers high, although global economic uncertainty is tempering the agency’s projections for 2013, when they expect housing starts to remain flat.

September’s benchmark price for residential properties in Metro Vancouver fell 0.8 per cent to $606,000 compared to last year, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. But Scott Brown, senior vice-president of residential project marketing at Colliers International, said values for new home sales are not dropping.

“No one is doing any severe discounting — the developers are not in a position where they have to lower prices, but the odd one that’s trying to just jump-start their fall campaign is offering some incentives,” Brown said. “You’re seeing more deal-making going on to try to speed the market up.”

Sales activity for new homes is showing a similar pattern this year to last year, with strong sales in the first half of the year, a slow summer and the expectation that sales will pick up in the fourth quarter, Brown said.

“What we saw last year, was that right after Thanksgiving the market for multi-family, new home sales really picked up and lasted right through December,” Brown said. “Right now, we’re seeing sales activity at sales centres starting to pick up again.”

The federal government’s decision to eliminate 30-year amortizations on government-insured mortgages is driving up monthly payments, making it tougher for some to qualify for a mortgage, he added.

“We’re seeing more people being rejected for mortgages than they were last year,” Brown said. “Last year, people’s ability to finance was obviously far easier than it is this year, so it’s affecting the market somewhat.”

The real estate board also reported that there were only 1,516 properties sold in September, which is a 32-per-cent decline from the 2,246 sales recorded in September 2011 — and 41.6 per cent below the 10-year September sales average of 2,597.

Brown said investors are becoming more selective — choosing properties close to SkyTrain stations or in just the right location — whereas in 2007, investors were not selective because all properties were expected to increase in value. Brown has not heard of any projects being cancelled, but he said some developers may delay offering their projects for sale until January.

The Fraser Valley real estate market has been more stable than the market in the western part of the Lower Mainland, in communities like Vancouver’s west side, Richmond or West Vancouver, where prices went up dramatically in 2011 and for now, are still holding steady.

“In the west-side market, there’s very little price movement downward, but there’s also very little transaction movement as people wait to see who’s going to move first,” Brown said. “The Fraser Valley never ever did recover to those peak values; instead, it’s been steady-eddy growth. It keeps plodding along, being a generally healthy market without the big news flashes and without the big crashes.”

Brown said sellers on the west side do not seem to be in a big hurry to sell, which is why the prices have not dropped significantly.

“The west side was particularly hot last year, and was driven by media stories about foreign buying,” Brown said. “The values that were set by that foreign buying would be relatively high, compared to two years ago, but the question is will that hold or will it soften? No one knows and it still depends to a degree on whether the foreign buying continues.”

He said foreign buyers are willing to pay more for premium properties, partly because of their wealth and partly because of their perception of what a property is worth.

“If you’re living in a market where a starter home is a million and a half and you can never own single-family, but you can walk in here and buy a home near downtown with a yard for $3 million, that sounds cheap to them, whereas to a local person that is a lot of money still,” Brown said.

The prices for new multi-family homes have been relatively stable for the past year, Brown said.

“The price for a downtown highrise on average is still about $700 per square foot. They haven’t moved up aggressively in the last 18 months,” Brown said. “It saw steady growth and a steady price since 2009, but it hasn’t seen that one-quarter spike when it jumps up 20-25 per cent.”

The biggest year-to-date increases in housing starts were in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and White Rock, Adamache said. Overall, Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver accounted for the highest number of starts.

Racked with the pain of arthritis, 65-year-old Al Race has just managed to move his garbage cans to his laneway for pick-up.

 Starting next week however, he says he’ll have to haul three large bins to the front of his house over uneven terrain, which his joint pain precludes him from doing.

 Race said because of his disability, his garbage service will effectively stop on Oct. 1, when the city’s new Rethink Waste Collection Program kicks in. However Rob Costanzo, Surrey’s deputy operations manager of engineering, said Thursday Race will be looked after. A special service for people in need will have haulers bring the bins from the side of the house to the front for him. Race isn’t the only resident concerned or confused about the city’s new garbage system, which launches on Monday. The Leader has been inundated with calls and letters wondering how the system is going to unfold, or why it’s necessary at all. The change in trash pick-up is part of Metro Vancouver’s regional waste strategy, which has an aim of raising its recycling rate to 70 per cent by 2015. In preparation for the change, over the last several months, Surrey has been dropping off three large bins with different colored lids at homes throughout the city. Surrey residents are being asked to pull the bins away from the curb to their house for now. Starting next month, Surrey will start picking up food waste and other organics separately. A smaller container will be provided to each home for people to separate their food scraps in the kitchen before taking them to the bin.

Organics include food waste such as fruits and vegetables, meat (including bones), cooking oil, and breads, as well as food-soiled paper like tea bags, napkins, paper towels and pizza boxes , as well as yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, plants and small trimmings). The organics, in a green bin, will be picked up every week. Recycling (blue bin) and garbage (black bin) will be picked up every second week. Mixed household containers and paper products can go in the blue bin. Anything that doesn’t go in the green or blue bins goes in the black garbage bin. The program hasn’t yet begun, but The Leader has heard criticism from readers. Joyce Stewart lives in Newton and her husband requested the smaller, 240-litre bins, as it’s just he and his wife in the home. The city delivered the larger 360-litre bins. The brochure Joyce received said she’ll be able to change them at the beginning of next year. She called city staff who said the change will cost her $25 per bin, or $75 for all three. Others have said it’s just a cash grab by the city, and that the slower pick-up of garbage will increase the stench and rodent problems.

 Costanzo said there are a lot of misconceptions about the new program. He said the city will replace the bins for the Stewarts for free if the ordering error was Surrey’s. As for the belief that picking up garbage every second week will create a stench or rodent problems, it shouldn’t be an issue, Costanzo said. “If they’re diverting their organics, what smelly wet waste will they have every two weeks?” Costanzo asked. “The waste that stinks is the organics, and we’re collecting that weekly.” He acknowledges the city phones have been busy regarding the new bin drop-offs.

 

 

“We’re starting to get a lot of questions, not so much complaints, although we have had a few complaints based on misconceptions,” Costanzo said. One of the questions arising is regarding dog waste, which the city will no longer pick up. “Once we have our biofuel facility, we can take that type of waste,” Costanzo said.

 

In the meantime, city staff are steering dog poop questions to the Metro Vancouver website: http://www.metrovancouver.org/services/solidwaste/Residents/yard/Pages/dogwaste.aspx

 

Another complaint the city has heard is that there has been little or no public consultation, which Costanzo said is a complete myth.  “We did no less than 30 public consultations, all advertised,” Costanzo said. “In all those consultations, (the feedback has) been entirely positive,” adding the move to composting organics isn’t a choice for the city. Some people who have called and written The Leader complained that the bins are too large for their compact community. Costanzo said there’s a nominal difference in footprint between the new bins and two garbage cans with blue boxes. “They (the bins) are more vertical, they’re not wide,” Costanzo said. “In just about every case, there’s room at the side of the house, the side of the garage or the backyard. There’s a lot of space there.”

He acknowledged there will be some “teething issues” as residents begin to get used to the new system.

 He pointed out other areas in the region have already switched to the new pick-up system –16 of the 22 cities in Metro Vancouver are already starting to collect organics separately. And a lot of money will be saved.

 

About 65 per cent of Surrey’s entire waste is organic. The region is paying $107 a metric ton to dispose of it, as opposed to less than $50 a ton charged by organics facilities. Add to that the fact Surrey’s waste is trucked to the landfill in Cache Creek, and there will be savings found in gas costs and environmental benefits in burning less fossil fuel. In addition, organics emit methane gas when disposed of at a landfill, which is more than 20 times worse than carbon emissions on global warming. The federal government announced Thursday it’s committing $17 million to the construction of a biofuel facility in Port Kells.

 

 

When built, organics taken there will capture all the methane and emit zero carbons, Costanzo said.The fuel made there will be used to drive the trucks used for curbside waste pick-up. “Surrey will have North America’s first fully integrated organic waste management process,” Costanzo said. He acknowledges there will be some growing pains for Surrey residents. “This is a huge leap, but it’s a huge leap in the right direction,” Costanzo said. “We want to minimize the effect on our planet, and this is what we deemed is the best approach.”

 

More information will be available at the city’s website at www.surrey.ca/rethinkwaste or by calling the Waste Collection Hotline at 604-590-7289.
