HOW TO FIND A HOME THAT HAS YOUR “BIG THREE”

How do you find the home of your dreams within a price you can afford? Most buyers start by making a “wish list”. But, it’s easy to get frustrated when you have a long wish list and expect you’ll be able to find a home with every one of those features. You might, for example, have a “mature backyard tree” as number 23 on your list and become disappointed when an otherwise ideal property doesn’t have one. But when you really think about it, your ideal home probably comes down to three or four core characteristics. 

For example:

1. Nice, safe, family-oriented neighbourhood.                                                                  2. Good-sized backyard.                                                                                                  3. Four bedrooms and two baths.

Sure, there might be other features you were hoping for, such as “move-in ready” or that big tree, but your “big three” are the ones you can’t do without.

So, when shopping for a new home, list the features and characteristics you desire. After all, properties on the market might be available that check off most, if not all, of those boxes.

But also circle those three or four characteristics at the core of what you want. That will help make your property search much more focused, and you’ll be more likely to find your next dream home.

Another advantage of coming up with your big three (or four) is that you’ll quickly discover how many homes with those characteristics are selling on today’s market. Once you know that price range, you can pre-arrange financing with a mortgage advisor. That will make your offer on that dream home even stronger.

Whatever you choose for your “big three”, I can help you find and buy that home. If you’ve been entertaining the idea of selling your property and finding your next dream home, call me.

Is now the best time for you to buy a house?

Is now the best time for you to buy a house? 

 

 

The market has seemed to have cooled down a bit, this is what you've been waiting for right? But now you are just really concerned about rising interest rates, and what the banks are up to, interest rates are just so "high" now compared to last year. There are no longer a whole bunch of multiple offers to complete with buyers are now more in control than they have been in the last couple of years. A higher interest rate can work in your favour if you are currently renting.

Here's how:

Every payment you make gets your mortgage down building equity in your home. How much equity are you building while renting from someone else, and waiting for the time to be right in the market? 

The reality is a 6 or 7% interest rate is way more appealing than the 100% interest rate you are paying to your landlord. You are building equity for them when you could be building equity for yourself. It just makes more sense to want to build equity for yourself and not someone else. Don't be off-put by the interest rates talk to your bank or your favourite mortgage person today, and if now is time for you to buy a house, give me a call so we can get you on the right track to finding your dream home.

Kawartha Cottage Rentals IGuide Photography System

 

Kawartha Cottage Rental IGuide Photography System is another tool in your rental toolbox to attract and secure more bookings.  A brief overview of the pros of using this system.

Why iGuide?

Our iGuide system is a proven system that we use to sell our waterfront properties. It is the most efficient system that showcases a home, and cottage to prospective buyers. It allows for faster decision-making, better planning, and easier navigation, including accurate floor plans, 360° images, room dimensions, photos, and more!  IGuide Waterfront Cottage Photography offers a host of features sure to impress potential renters

Here are the main reasons why prospective buyers and agent prefer virtual tours over videos of listings:

1) iGuide Virtual Tours Are Self-guided: One of the biggest and most important differences between a video tour and an iGuide Virtual Tour is that iGuide Tours are solely self-guided/interactive.

2) iGuide Virtual Tours Are Fully Immersive: iGuide is an immersive experience that provides the sense of actually being at the property.

3) Virtual Tours Don't Rely On Long Attention Spans:  Kawartha Cottage Rentals IGuide Photography & Virtual Tour places the controls in the hands of the viewer and allows them to explore the property as they'd like, on their time frames. Whereas a video experience is linear and guided by the camera operator. The viewer has to wait for the camera operator to take them through the home, or strategically fast-forward the video until they find the room they are wanting to see.

4) Video Tours Cannot Achieve HDR and Bracketing: Regardless of whether too much or not enough light is flooding a room, the essential professional feature of HDR and Bracketing will be absent from most video tours.

5) iGuide Waterfront Cottage Photography Separates The Serious Buyers From The Tire Kickers: Prospective buyers that contact an agent after taking an online virtual tour are far more likely to be serious about buying the property than a neighbor and their friends who show up at an open house for something to do on a weekend. Kawartha Cottage Rentals IGuide Photography & Virtual Tours are valuable in that they can make people want to see a property and they have the ability to show people that they don't want to view a particular property for whatever reason.
