Why buying a home isbetter than renting

Glenda HopeBroker

Dir: 289-231-9549 • [email protected]

You may be comfortable in your rental unit right now, but there are afew disadvantages of renting that Glenda Hope of RE/MAX RealtronRealty Inc. would like you to consider.

The main downfall of renting is that even after five or 10 yearsof paying your monthly dues, you’re no further ahead in terms ofownership. When you own a home, you earn more equity (ownership)from the bank with each mortgage payment, which you can alsoaccess in the form of a loan or line of credit down the road.

If you’re looking to move, you can use the proceeds of the sale to helpfinance your new property; whereas with renting, you often have tocome up with first and last month’s rent, which is financially difficultfor many.

You may be discouraged by the minimum down payment on ahome, but remember you can put down as little as five per cent(with mortgage insurance approval) and you can also borrow fromyour RRSP penalty-free under Canada’s Home Buyers’ Plan.

Another advantage of buying is that you can customize your hometo the way you like it – from painting to renovating, the choice is upto you. Many landlords put restrictions on what you can upgrade,meaning you’re stuck using out-dated appliances and dreadful décor.

Many landlords also put restrictions on having pets, meaning youcan’t bring your beloved four-legged friend along to a rental unit.Because there are often other tenants living in adjacent rentalapartments, there could also be noise or even cigarette stenchto deal with.

Buying a property literally pays off in the long run! To find out moreabout how Glenda can help you achieve home ownership, visit herwebsite www.glendahope.com, call direct at 289-231-9549, orlike her page on Facebook for more information and updates.

When selling their homes, homeowners can em-ploy several strategies in an effort to drum up in-terest among potential buyers. One such strategy is to host an open house, which invites prospective buyers to tour the property.

Realtors have long used open houses to intro-duce properties to the market, and a well-planned open house can help sellers generate numerous offers in a single day. Whether working with a real-tor or listing homes on their own, homeowners can follow a few simple tips to ensure their open house is a success.

Generate publicity online

Nowadays many prospective home buyers do the bulk of their research via their computers and devices. By advertising their open houses online, sellers have the potential to reach a wide array of buyers. Many real estate agents employ sites such as Homefinder.ca to promote open houses and showcase properties, so sellers can make sure their agents are taking advantage of these wildly popular sites. Some even allow sellers to list their homes on apps that buyers can peruse on their smartphones.

Generate publicity in traditional ways

Traditional publicity should not be overlooked when promoting an open house. A $5 “Open House” lawn sign is an effective and inexpensive way to attract buyers who are driving through desirable neighbourhoods looking for their next

homes. While the Internet is a valuable resource to promote your open house, the sheer volume of online listings can make it hard to reach potential buyers. A traditional lawn sign and a listing in your local newspaper are budget-friendly promotional opportunities that can generate interest in your open house.

invite your neiGhbours

Neighbours can be great salesmen for your home and the community where you live. Invite friendly neighbours to your open house and en-courage them to chat with prospective buyers. Buyers will appreciate neighbours’ firsthand knowl-edge about the community, and their friendliness can help to create a strong first impression that in-creases buyer interest in your home.

consider some chanGes to your home

decorWhen hosting an open house, you might not

need to go so far as to stage your home, but you may want to make some changes to the decor to make your home more neutral and appealing to buyers from all walks of life. Remove any poten-tially controversial artwork or decorative items, replacing them with more neutral items that won’t offend or distract any potential buyers.

Leave the hosting to the professionalsUnless you’re selling the home on your own, re-

sist the temptation to attend your open house. Let

your realtor do the work. Your absence can make it easier for potential buyers to see themselves in your home, while your presence may make them uncomfortable or hesitant to explore the property

and ask any questions.When hosting an open house, sellers can take

several steps to make their homes more appealing.— MS

Basement basics to elevate your homeFinishing an under-utilized basement makes financial sense in certain situa-tions, and may add to your home’s resale value. For a family who has outgrown their current space and wants to avoid buying a more expensive, larger home, finishing the basement can be worth-while. Yet, there are considerations to ensure your project will be worth the time, effort and expense.

Determine if your basement is a good candidate for a renovation and will deliv-er adequate return on your investment with these guidelines:• Is there enough headroom? A finished

floor-to-ceiling height of at least 7.5 feet is required. Include in your calcu-

lation 2.5 inches for flooring and ceil-ing finishing materials. If you own an older home with insufficient floor to ceiling space, you may need to con-sider additional costs to lower and underpin the foundation to create sufficient headroom.

• Is your basement wet? You’ll want to ad-dress any moisture problems before you begin. In older homes, moisture issues can be severe. In some cases, you’ll need to waterproof the founda-tion from the outside. Waterproofing can add substantially to the cost as ex-cavation, waterproofing, weeping tile and backfill may be required.

• Are your windows adequate? The out-

side bottom edges of all basement windows should be at least six inches above the soil. Consider the size and condition of the windows. Are any large enough for fire escape? Are they operable, damage-free, airtight and energy-efficient? Be sure to calculate the cost of any needed window up-grades when estimating your costs.Finished basements provide a myriad

of possibilities including guest rooms, nanny suites, play rooms and home the-atres. Whether you’re looking to increase the value of your home, or enhance your living space, do your research to ensure a successful project.

Three crucial carbon monoxide safety tipsSafety is a top priority for homeown-ers, yet many fail to adhere to some of the most basic home safety rules. Scott McGillivray, host of HGTV’s popular show Income Property says he is always shocked when people seem more con-cerned about the speed of their Internet connection or their TV program bundles than their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

“One enhances your life, the other can save it,” McGillivray says. “It is not accept-able for anyone, whether they rent out an income suite or not, to compromise fire or CO safety.”

Here are Scott’s top three safety re-minders:1. Install a smoke alarm on every floor

of your home and outside all sleep-ing areas. It is now law in Ontario, as well, that you must install a CO alarm (or combination smoke/CO alarm) outside sleeping areas if your home has any potential source of the deadly gas.

2. Test alarms monthly. However, un-derstand that if the alarm sounds it is just confirming power is getting to the unit and the circuitry is working. It does not confirm that an alarm’s sen-sor is functioning at an optimal level.

3. Smoke and CO alarms do not last forever. Check the age of all alarms. Replace smoke alarms that are over 10 years old and CO alarms manufac-tured prior to 2009.McGillivray points out that he only

installs Kidde hardwired combination smoke/CO alarms in his renovations. He looks for alarms with advanced sensors and a sealed 10-year battery for back up in case of a power failure, like the ones from Kidde.

“By never having to change batteries these worry-free alarms save you mon-ey,” he says. “And the alarms also last 10 years from the time of installation. That’s priceless peace of mind.”

More safety tips can be found at www.scottmcgillivray.com.

Factors to consider when choosing a neighbourhood

When shopping for a home, it’s easy for buyers to fall in love with a property. A well-maintained home with updated features can be hard to resist, but buyers must consider more than just a home’s appearance before submitting an offer.

One variable prospective home buy-ers tend to value more highly than oth-ers is the neighbourhood where they will ultimately choose to live. Many buyers even value neighbourhoods more than homes, feeling they can always fix a home but cannot necessarily fix an undesirable neighbourhood. When considering which neighbourhood to begin a home search, buyers should research a host of factors.

Crime

Crime statistics are public domain, meaning buyers can examine crime fig-ures for any neighbourhood where they are considering buying a home. Some real estate websites list neighbourhood crime ratings among the information they offer about a given property. In addition, buy-ers interested in learning about crime in a given neighbourhood can visit different websites such as www.crimereports.com, or check in with local neighbhourhood watch groups to access data on crimes committed near a particular address.

Home valuesHome values are another factor to

consider when choosing a neighbour-hood in which to buy a home. Buyers can work with a local realtor to find a neigh-bourhood or area where real estate pric-es are trending upwards. While buyers might be able to find a great deal on a home in a neighbourhood where home prices are dropping, it’s important to remember those home prices are drop-ping for a reason. Work with your realtor to find a neighbourhood where you can afford a home and where property val-ues are not in decline. Realtors will have access to recent sales figures so you can get an idea of whether a neighbourhood is trending upward or in decline.

amenities

The proximity of amenities such as shopping, restaurants and parks is at-tractive to many buyers, and that’s something all buyers should consider before buying a home. Even if you prefer a home in a remote location, that could limit your market of buyers when you want to sell the home down the road. While your own comfort and preferences should ultimately prevail over potential resale value, it’s important that you at

least consider access to amenities before making a decision. You might be able to find a compromise in a home that is a short drive away from a town centre, but still remote enough that you are not in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Commute

Quality of life is heavily influenced by

commute time. Many men and women feel their quality of life improves dramati-cally the shorter their daily commute is. When considering a particular neigh-bourhood, do a test run before making an offer on a home. Wake up early and drive to the area where you are thinking of buy-ing, and then commute from there during rush hour. Also, do the reverse commute

come quitting time. You might be able to get an estimated commute time online, but a test run can give you a more accu-rate idea of what your daily trips to and from the office will be like.

Choosing a neighbourhood where you will enjoy living requires some fore-thought and research.

— MS

While many wish to live in a quiet area, away from the hustle and bustle, quality of life is heavily influenced by commute time.

Characteristics of the neighbourhood are as important as the house itself
