    How to Buy Your First Home


    Congratulations on deciding to buy a home! Because buying your first home can be complicated, we have written this article to guide you through the steps to home ownership. As well, we have included links to the major banks. Since every bank is slightly different, it is good to check them out and decide who you will want to handle your mortgage. We have supplied you with a Canadian Mortgage Calculator so you have an idea of what your payments will be. Current interest rates are listed on the banks’ websites to help you make the most accurate calculations.
    Banker or Mortgage Broker. What’s the Difference?
    Both of these agents are doing the same thing. The only difference is that while a banker only represents the bank that he works for, a mortgage broker approaches all the banks to find you the best mortgage for your particular needs. There is no cost to you for using their services, since they are paid by the banks that they deal with. If you have dealt with the same bank for many years and feel a certain amount of loyalty, go ahead and approach them first. Most banks have their own “broker”, but these are not brokers in the true sense. Just remember that an actual mortgage broker doesn’t work for any one particular bank.
    Pre-approval. What’s that?
    When you begin your search for a house, you will need to know how much the bank is willing to lend you, based on your current income and expenses. The bank will want you to come and see them (and some will even come and see you!) with your financial information, and will put together this information for you. You are not committing yourself to anything at this point, and if you decide that you would like to find a mortgage elsewhere, there is nothing to stop you from doing so. This is just a guideline so that you will know in which price range you should shop for a house.
    Choosing a Realtor
    Many people, when buying their first home, choose as their realtor the agent who has the listing contract for the first house they are interested in. Be aware that when the realtor acts as both the seller’s agent and the buyer’s agent, the realtor will give precedence to the best interests of the seller. Since the realtor is paid a percentage of the selling price, they will probably not negotiate as hard for you as they will for the seller. One strategy that works well for most people is to try out several realtors, and when you find the one who you would like to have on your “team”, ask them to help you with your search for your home. They should be happy to send you information and listings on houses that suit your criteria. You might also be interested in reading our article on How To Choose A Realtor.
    Searching the Listings
    You can easily search the listings in any area online. The website that contains all the Canadian MLS listings is . You can easily select your search criteria: price, location, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and numerous other choices. Keep your ranges as broad as you can to view the most listings.
    If you are viewing many, many houses, it is wise to take your camera with you. Your agent will give you a listing sheet of information about the house, but there are lots of details to take in, and after a while it’s difficult to remember which features belong to which house. As a courtesy, check with your agent first if they are okay with you taking photos. If so, take pictures of the front of the house first, and then you will know that the subsequent photos belong to that property. If you have a video camera, that is also a good tool, especially if you add commentary as you go through the home. Be sure and take pictures of the “not-so-good” as well as the things you especially like.
    Flooring, cabinetry, and appliances are important items to take note of, as well as things like parking and yard space. It’s likely that if you fall in love on first sight, you will want to come back and see the house again, so if you have forgotten a few things, it’s no problem. Many people walk into a house and the first thing that jumps out at them is the “stuff” that’s in it. It’s important to look at the actual house, and not the furnishings or furniture arrangements. Try to picture yourself in this home, and keep in mind that it’s fairly simple to clean the windows, paint a room, or even have new flooring installed. However, you should factor in these costs when reviewing the price of the house. One thing that can be more difficult to take care of is odors. If you need to repaint the entire house, replace all the flooring, or worse yet, the sub-floor (due to pet nastiness), this could be a costly repair. Test things like water pressure, open and close doors and windows, look under the sinks for any plumbing leaks or other issues. Any repairs that need to be made may affect the move-in date, unless you think you can live in a renovation arena for some time!
    Making An Offer
    Okay, you found the right house for you and now comes the exciting part! When you are certain that you will be happy with your choice of house, location, price, size and condition of the house, it’s time to make an offer. If you can, try to remove all the emotion from this part of the process. It’s the step that most people find the most stressful and the scariest. In reality, your real estate agent is the one who will do most of the work, and all you need to decide is what is the most that you are willing to pay for this particular house. Once you have that figure in your mind, go ahead and try to negotiate a better deal.
    Negotiating
    If you want this house so badly that you are willing to pay top dollar, your first offer will be different than if you are slightly out of your price range and would like to see if you can get the buyer down to your affordability level. Don’t worry about making an offer too low. If the seller is “offended” and refuses to come down in price, you can certainly make a counter offer. Most real estate deals are only reached after a few negotiations, until both parties are satisfied. Keep in mind that a few thousand dollars will not make a huge increase in your mortgage payments, and if you’re nervous about increasing your offer, check out the mortgage payment calculations again. You’ll probably see that there is nothing to worry about.
    Price is not the only negotiating tool. If you can be flexible with your time frame, a seller may look more favourably on you if you allow them to choose the closing/possession date. For them, it may make a difference of a few weeks at a hotel, or paying two mortgages, or staying longer due to work or school schedules.
    Subjects and Conditions
    As your agent is writing up your offer, he (or she) will ask you which subjects and conditions you would like to have included. Conditions and subjects are a way of protecting yourself from being locked into a deal that you might need to reconsider. The following is a sample of the conditions and subjects that are most commonly attached to an offer:
    This offer is subject to the buyer arranging necessary financing at current interest rates and at a lending institute of the buyer’s choice, on or before______.
    This offer is subject to the buyer being satisfied with a pre-purchase home inspection report on or before_______.
    This offer is subject to the buyer’s lawyer approving all documents by _.
    You may want to include these conditions as well:
    All attached and unattached goods are to be in good working order at closing.
    All attached and unattached goods as seen and photographed on     .
    Items you may want to have included with the house are things like appliances, window coverings, area rugs, freezers and other items that are not attached to the house. These items can be used a negotiating tools, so if you see something you want, don’t be afraid to ask for it, and you can always make a concession to get a better price.
    Important time considerations
    You will need to leave enough time to make all the necessary arrangements prior to taking possession of the house. It’s wise to leave at least three weeks for things like arranging a mortgage, getting a home inspection, and making an appointment with a lawyer or a notary public. Also keep in mind that sometimes negotiations take a little longer than you anticipate, and this will affect the amount of time you will need to make all these arrangements. Always make sure that the dates will work for you, and if a long weekend interrupts the process, you should build in some extra time. And since banks, lawyers, and other professionals are sometimes closed on weekends, consider those implications.
    You will need to choose your possession date wisely as well. If you are currently renting, you will have to give proper notice to your landlord before you move, or you will risk having to pay rent as well as a mortgage. And finding friends to help you move on a long weekend can be daunting too.
    Deposit
    If your offer has been accepted, you will have to pay an amount of money as a show of good faith. This money will go towards the down payment at closing. Never give the money directly to the seller. Make sure that it goes into your realtor or lawyer’s trust account.
    Finding A Mortgage
    When your offer has been accepted, you will have to make a decision regarding which bank or broker you will deal with. It is important to start this process as soon as possible, since you only have a limited amount of time and you may risk losing the deal. It is always possible to have dates extended, but should not be necessary. If you do find yourself running out of time, contact your realtor and explain that you will need to change the subject removal dates.
    If you’ve decided to use a mortgage broker, give them a call. They will tell you which bank will has the best current rates. Make an appointment with your broker, and ask them what paperwork they will need you to bring along. Keeping organized at this point will make things a lot easier, so get yourself a notebook and write everything down: appointments, to-do lists, questions you may, and so on. Keep a file of important documents such as your offer to purchase, any financial information like pay stubs for the last three months, bank account information, credit card information, and a list of any assets you may have.
    If you are intimidated by this part of the process, remember that a bank will only make money by lending money, and should be eager to have you as a customer. Don’t be afraid to ask your broker to explain things in terminology you are familiar with. Some words and phrases are baby talk to him and he may forget that he speaks a different language than you do. The bank will want to have an appraisal done. Some banks will cover the cost, but only if you ask.
    Down Payment
    Your bank will require you to pay some money towards the purchase of the house. Banks require 20%, but if you are unable to come up with that sum of money, you may also qualify to pay less. In that case, the bank will go through an insurance company such as Genworth Financial or Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). CMHC is a corporation owned by the Government of Canada who provides mortgage insurance to the banks. These insurance fees will be added to your mortgage payments.
    Home Inspection
    After you have received approval from the bank, you should schedule a home inspection. There is no point in paying for a home inspection unless you are certain that you will go ahead with the purchase if the inspection is favorable. When you are deciding on which home inspector to use, ask him about the things that he does not inspect. Not all inspectors cost the same, so call several to see what they charge. If you are concerned about the plumbing or wiring, you may also want to bring along a professional to have those items checked. There will usually be some things that the inspector will notice, and he should go over the report with you personally. Putting a dollar value on necessary repairs will help you to decide if you would like to re-negotiate the price with the seller.
    Closing Day
    You will have to have an appointment with your lawyer/notary on or before the closing date, so be sure to set aside some time for this.
    Lawyer vs. Notary Public
    This is strictly a matter of personal choice. It pays to shop around, since sometimes a notary will be a little cheaper. The only time you will need a lawyer is if a deal falls apart at the eleventh hour and there is a breach of contract.
    House Insurance
    The lawyer/notary may want proof that the house has been adequately insured, so you will need to arrange for this before closing day.
    Just a few things will happen at this appointment. You will have to bring along the balance of the down payment and any fees and closing costs associated with the purchase. The lawyer/notary will phone you ahead of time to tell you how much to bring with you to this appointment. These fees include your lawyer/notary fees, disbursements, which are the amounts owing for property taxes, etc. and various other taxes such as property transfer taxes and sales taxes. The lawyer/notary will pay the seller. He will register the home in your name, and now you are a home owner! You will receive the title to your home in a few weeks, along with copies of all the documents and paperwork. You will receive the keys from either your realtor or the lawyer/notary.

    What to Consider When Buying a Home


    It’s often said that, when buying a home, the three most important things to consider are location, location, location. That kind of hyperbole is intriguing. But in real life, the truth is, there are a host of factors that come into play when you’re in the market for a new home. With so many determinants in play, the process of selecting and buying a new home can be trying. The following home buying tips are offered to help you make the most of your experience.
    *Location. Yes, although it may not be the only factor, it’s a definite consideration. Families or couples who plan on starting a family, need to pay close attention to the school district. In today’s climate, a history of good test scores isn’t always an adequate indication of a good district. Be sure to ask about any trouble with delinquency, as well as the percentage of graduates who are accepted at four-year colleges. Even if you don’t have children, a good school district is important for resale value. Also consider cultural and recreational opportunities, as well as the proximity of stores and employment opportunities.
    *Price. No list of home buying tips would be complete without addressing the art of the offer. You may know how much you can pay, but do you know how much the home you’re interested in is worth? Ask your realtor to see listings of homes sold in the neighborhood during the past 23 months, or head to the city clerk’s office to find the sales information yourself. Don’t rely on the asking prices of other houses; they may not reflect the final selling price. Also be sure to ask how long the home has been on the market. Generally, the longer a house has been for sale, the more willing the sellers will be to negotiate.
    *Get a home inspection. This single tip can potentially save thousands of dollars in costly repairs down the road.
    *Look around. When you see a home you like, be sure to explore the neighborhood to see who else – and what else – is in the area. Your street may have lovely homes, but a block over, there may be vacant buildings or a noisy business or highway.
    Above all, take your time. Purchasing a home is a major life decision. These home buying tips can help you find the home you want at the price you can afford.

    Is 2021 the End? Not for Real Estate


    For all those who think the end is nigh, I inclined to say: You’re late. For the Real Estate market ended in 2008. The market as we knew it is dead and gone and is not likely to return. Oh, don’t get me wrong, this country is as stupid as it is bankrupt, so dumb policies will return. Perhaps 15 to 20 years from now, some sort of bubble will occur again. Washington and Wall Street are driven by greed not conscience or actual interest in doing the right thing.
    But in the meantime we have foreclosures out the wazoo, banks that do not want to lend (despite their advertisements to the contrary) and a moribund economy that is sinking for all but the top 2% of earners. Things are great for Bill, Warren and the Donald, but for most others the going is getting rougher. Real wages have been declining for 30 years in America. No one seems to care or has even noticed. Few people realize the government now reports “household income” as opposed to average income, like it did back when I was young. Why, because household income covers the real truth, with a fiction. Sure income looks good, in comparison to the past, but it is with two earners, not one. So in reality it is half of what it would be, if still reported the old way.
    I am not a Democrat, nor am I liberal. But I am not a fool and see what few others care to look at. In a country more worried about Brittany Spears or some rapper or sports star, we get the shaft from big corporations, banks and government. It was said by someone far wiser than me: People get the government they deserve.
    We deserve what we get, because no one cares and no one is watching. If the herd (by that I mean the average idiot) was as concerned with the voting record of their congressman as they are the next Monday night football game, maybe we would have good government. Until then, expect NO real changes in Washington.
    I am not a Republican either, so I am not defending either side. Both are despicable, in my mind. The left has lost their mind and the right has lost their common sense. I wish we could have a 3rd party, a middle of the road party. But don’t hold your breath. The Tea party is not middle of the road, they don’t know what they want. They define themselves by what they are against.
    Well, enough about politics. People, who know me, know that I never really discuss politics, so this rant is not my norm. (The beauty of a blog, I can spout off all I want). But, back to my real reason for this blog, which is defined as a real estate related blog.
    What does this all mean for REAL ESTATE?
    Well, for one thing, house prices are not going to rise at anywhere near recent rates seen during the boom. Except is a few select markets, the rise will be very slow if at all, for some time. This is for four reasons.

    1. Foreclosures inhibit prices and there are still millions of them that have to be sold for their effect to end.
    2. Banks do not want to lend and policies now in place have greatly changed who qualifies in terms of credit rating and income ratios.
    3. This is NOT a country of savers and with $4.00 gas, who can save up the down payments now required?
    4. Demand is blunted also by the fact that people upside down in their homes have little desire to move up or downsize and take that beating in real (as opposed to paper) dollars.
    5. The economy. People who can buy, are afraid to take the plunge.
      Some economists and analysts still say further drops in prices are possible (or even likely) in many markets. This scares potential buyers, with good cause. I personally think further drops are likely in some areas and within any city, in some neighborhoods. Homes are still being foreclosed at high rates and this can only prolong the agony.
      My advice
      So if you want to buy, be careful, look at the market, and particularly, the area. Don’t buy more than you can afford, the market rising will not buy you out at a profit, like it might have 4 years ago.
      Buy a well built home, many pieces of shit were thrown up during the boom years. 80’s houses are the absolute worst.
      Seriously look at the homes energy costs. Cheap electricity and gas rates are going fast. Huge energy hogs with low efficiency furnaces and a/c units, single pane windows and poor insulation are to be avoided. Replacing windows and complete HVAC systems is expensive and the payback is not there yet. Besides old homes can never be really properly insulated unless you are gutting it for a major rehab anyway.
      Look at the long term trend for your city. Is it destined to decline? If so, rent. Better yet move to city that has better long term prospects and rent until you know the area.
      I am from Syracuse, NY originally, where real estate never took off during the boom. In fact it went backwards since the mid 80’s. Why? The city lost jobs and population. You cannot sell in a shrinking market. Homes there sell for 40 percent of their high in the early 80’s. Again, even there some areas held up well and did not decline, but never rose as well as other areas of the country.
      Don’t buy something only because it is cheap. What you do not know will hurt you, as the whole country found out. If you find something that is almost free (relatively speaking) should you buy it? That depends, on the city, the neighborhood, the home itself and your financial situation and life situation. Owning a money pit never helped anyone, so look before you leap. If the home needs repairs and you can do them yourself and have the cash to buy the needed supplies, then go ahead if the area is ok.
      I have seen many homes that are now valueless here in Atlanta. Foreclosures that copper thieves have damaged so bad the cost of repair exceeds the value of the home if repaired. The average price is less than 10 grand here in 3 different zip codes here, according to recent newspaper story. You might have to sleep with a 12 gauge under the sheets, but they are out there.
      Is the price right? Not for me, but maybe you like life on the edge! As a home inspector, I am not supposed to influence your decision just report facts.
      That is what I do and have been doing for some time. Never buy a home without a good inspection by an inspector who has not performed at least 400 inspections. I have inspected over 3000 homes and I can tell you that it took that many for the learning curve to start leveling off. Even now I still occasionally see something weird that I have never seen before. I love this because I get to learn something new. But I also would have missed some things if I did not have the vast experience of seeing so many screwed up things. Defects do not always jump out and shake your hand, and crooked sellers are still out there, artfully hiding them, more than ever.
      People forced to sell at a loss have often foregone routine maintenance and have hidden defects that they are hoping your inspector will miss. And about 40% of them will. I once found over $40,000 (my estimate) in hidden damage on a stucco home. The seller was a crooked realtor. The eventual buyer paid over $62,000 for repairs. I know because the later buyer (I advised mine to walk) hired me to testify against his dumb inspector.
      Ironically, I get calls all the time from buyers looking for a cheap inspector. Some fools just never learn.
      I am a middle of the road inspector in terms of my fees, not even near the most expensive here in Atlanta. The highest priced ones are often not as good as I am, but like all endeavors in American business, he who advertises the most often gets a reputation that belies the truth.
      Lastly, about inspectors; don’t assume an engineer is a better inspector than one who isn’t. I know several and have gone with them and seen them in the field. The old saying; “Can’t see the forest for the trees” comes to mind.
      Until the next one…

    How To Manage Home Health Care

    You could go ahead and take whole subject of home healthcare and set it into two different classifications, or groups. Individuals two groups are number 1 general, periodic home healthcare and # 2 specialized, in-home or comprehensive daily, intensive types of home healthcare for individuals who are suffering from specific disease or senior years or perhaps a temporary health setback.

    Within the group of general healthcare situations that may (and do happen) to individuals and families everywhere. Everyone are affected from spontaneous signs and symptoms of the condition like a headache, common cold, minor injuries, heartburn or perhaps a anxiety attack because of stress or mental exhaustion. It is usually my suggestion, if an individual is uncomfortable using the administration of healthcare to family member that you simply incorporate a physician, or at best a nurse, if your moderate or perhaps a severe health condition happens. Obviously, if perhaps minor issues because the above pointed out good examples may be treatable both at home and you’re competent and comfy, provided they are one-time occurrences and also the signs and symptoms don’t worsen with time. Headaches or perhaps an abdominal discomfort because of heartburn might be handled with discomfort-relief medication for example Aspirin, Tylenol (Acetaminophen) or Advil (Ibuprofen). Minor wounds and injuries might be given antiseptic application around the affected epidermis. Any medical antiseptic works, and, more generally alcohol-iodine that contains antiseptics are utilized. A typical cold is handled through fever-reducing medication for example Tylenol, in the event of high fever, and signs and symptoms relief medication for example nasal drops or anti-microbial throat spray. Remember, using proper amounts of hydration is essential generally. Which is best to prevent taking anti-biotics unless of course particularly recommended with a physician following a thorough checkup.

    Within the second category we’ve the situations which involve substantial home healthcare, or homecare that needs the entire time, or at best part-time proper care of the stricken individual. Including individuals with precisely identified illnesses for example Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, cardiovascular disease, joint and bone problems, nerve and psychological problems, focused on-home healthcare is generally necessary. However, this is often carried out by a relative once training and guidance from the qualified doctor or nurse. Furthermore, the house-care programs need to be frequently up-to-date and modified based on the patients needs and also the outcomes of tests. For individuals who aren’t able to pay the luxury of home healthcare, it may frequently be an costly solution getting a relative conduct the household home healthcare can help to save lots of money if it’s completed in compliance with professional recommendations. Still, the stricken individual may sometimes require hospitalization for reevaluation of their condition and specialized treatment.

    Obviously, I usually recommend a thief, before starting on any kind of comprehensive home healthcare solution for a family member, consults and constantly consults with your personal doctor. Optimal care is really a valuable resource a thief with disease or illness can usually benefit from. Consider going to the house healthcare resource center available at http://world wide web.nahc.org/.
