You have a choice

The world presents us with an abundance of choice. Everywhere we turn we are inundated with attractive offers, possibilities and alternatives.

So many things to choose from. But if we are being honest, what is it that captures our attention? What is it that entices us and draws us in?

What excites us when we are faced with simply too much choice?

The only answer is the allure of pure functional design. Homes that are distinctive and blessed with attraction.

Classic, through and through, inside and out. 

We are not talking merely about outward appearances. What's inside is just as important.

Now let's go look for that perfect, remarkable property.

Divorce I'm gonna take everything!

You have heard the battle cry....   I will take everything you have.   The realities and practicalities are vastly different.   A very dear friend and realtor laments in this post better to keep your money.   Take a moment for some sage advice.

The professionals made money from very expensive lawyers, Realtors and right down the line to the appraisers. But get this into your head, it is  your money, but it will be theirs; you have a choice, you can make professionals rich and yourself poor or you can go ahead to get your revenge.

Frankly, the best revenge in the world is to live well – financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually. If you use the system to get your revenge, you will suffer in all fronts ,and when it is all over, too much time will have passed and you will rarely come out ahead.

GAZUMPING and Pocket Listings

So here we go.... 2014. I learned a great Lesson this year from Leo Bruneau  from Coquitlam BC. We talked at the RE/MAX Kickstart in Toronto just last week. 

GAZUMPING is where you have a real estate agent (REALTOR®) who has verbally agreed to your offer; but when you arrive, show up with all the paperwork signed they took more money from someone else. This is happening!  GAZUMPING



The other thing that's going to happen this year, in West Toronto detached homes sales,
is pocket listings. 

Pocket listings are where a Real Estate Agent takes that listing, keeps it off the MLS for those extra few days or a week, provides it only to his sign calls or to the client database 
that he already has.

This does a big dis-service to the sellers of that property because [they] may have had more money had the home been exposed to the real estate market for a reasonable length of time, to find BUYERS, looking in that pocket but under contract with other brokerages.

You cannot work for the best interest of the seller if you are in your own way.

Toronto Real Estate Forecast 2014

2014 will continue to see price increases and competition for detached homes in Toronto.

Last year the Toronto Real Estate Board sold 87,000 units. That's over 85,000 in 2012.
The average price of all types of Homes in Toronto was at $520 thousand. This is up a collective 9% year over year,  the average price of a detached house in the 416 is topping out at $864 thousand, and there are 5% fewer available for sale. This is going to cause 
more price increases, multiple offers and competition this year. The average price of a house in the 905 have moved itself to $627,000 dollars .



Many are opting to compete in the downtown Toronto core for rental properties,
There is currently a 1.4% vacancy factor in Toronto. People are downtown as families, not as expected as singles and retirees.

Seniors are staying in their homes longer by making them suitable to their long term occupancy. This adds to the lack of inventory that's available for sale.

Affordability is playing a huge factor in the housing market.

There is so much information available for you online. From Hood Data Reports by postal code, to finding out the house History with 

Verified Home Reports, to actually buying Condominium Insurance to guard against a Special Assessment.

You need someone to sift through all that data. Someone to help you interpret the numbers. If you have a sincere real estate challenge, a problem to deal with, give me a call. I've got 25 years of experience.

Buyer Needs Extension to close

Mark Weisleder reminds us that getting an extension date on your closing date has costs and that needs to be addressed;    Who Pays? 

Buyers often need to request an extension to their closing date. The main reasons are as follows:·         The buyers have not yet sold their current home; or
·         The buyers' financing has fallen through or the buyers have not complied with all of the lender's requirements;
The main lesson for everyone is that no buyer is automatically entitled to an extension. If a buyer can't close, the seller can take the position that the buyer is in default, sue for the deposit and any loss that they may suffer in the re-sale of the property.Real estate agents are divided as to whether you should buy first and then sell your existing home or sell first and then buy. No solution is risk-free. Buyers also need to remember that just because you are approved for a loan, you still have to fulfill all of the lender's requirements, such as proof of income or debt repayment, before they will give you the money.When you ask for an extension, here are the terms that you can expect to face from a seller. Remember, your bargaining position is not good.·         The seller will likely request an additional deposit, equal to the initial deposit, to be held by the seller lawyer in trust;
·         The buyer will have to pay the seller's interest costs on any mortgage that cannot be discharged; so for example, if the seller has a $300,000 mortgage and interest accrues at 4% interest or $33 per day, then the buyer has to pay this cost for the full extension period;
·         The buyer will pay the seller's legal fees to do the extension, which can range from $250 - $500, plus HST; and
·         The buyer may have to pay additional costs, depending on when the extension was requested; - for example, if the extension is requested on the closing day, and the seller has already packed up the truck, the seller may request payment of all of their additional moving costs as a result of the request.
One of the main considerations for the seller in agreeing to give an extension is whether they need the money from the sale for their own home purchase closing the same day. This is what occurred to a buyer client of mine who required an extension at the end of October, 2013. Their seller also needed to close a purchase the same day. This seller was able to negotiate an extension of their own sale, but expected my client to pay all of their extension costs as well. Thus my clients had to pay the seller and the seller's seller a total of $2,500 to get a one week extension. This was still a good result for my client, as they could have forfeited their deposit and faced a lawsuit if the seller did not agree or was not able to arrange the extension. If you know that you are going to need an extension, do not wait until the last minute to make the request. Let your lawyer or real estate agent know as soon as possible and make the request, so that no unnecessary costs, such as moving arrangements, are entered into.There is also closing protection insurance available to home buyers and sellers in Ontario. One such company who I work with (full disclosure) is Canadian Home Shield at www.canadianhomeshield.com . They offer insurance coverage for $99 for home sellers and buyers so that if their sale is delayed or cancelled and it is not their fault, they can claim for costs of up to $25,000. I have had several clients take advantage of this policy to collect damages such as increased moving costs as a result of delayed closings.

This Insurance is available here as part of the bundle of services that are available for Purchases and Sales of Homes in the west Toronto GTA.
