Buying A Home
Buying a home is a significant financial decision. This is true whether you are purchasing a home for the first time or purchasing your third home. Buying a home can also be one of the most stressful experiences if you are not prepared for the process. Here are some wise steps to help alleviate some of the stress of buying a home. It is a great investment as well as an excellent tax shelter. Keep in mind that the home you purchase is a major financial investment that deserves your commitment to the entire process.
Selling a home
I know that your home is probably the most valuable possession that you have. In fact, many of the people I serve have only the equity in their property to see them through their retirement years
My first goal is to help you set a list price that represents top market value, without going so high that it does not sell at all. This can only be accomplished by thoroughly understanding the market.
Financing
House hunting begins at home with planning. Before you grab the road maps and hit the streets with your favourite Royal LePage Realtor,hopefully thats me.

GREATER TORONTO REALTORS® REPORT RESALE HOUSING MARKET FIGURES
TORONTO, April 16, 2015 – Toronto Real Estate Board President Paul Etherington announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 4,635 home sales during the first 14 days of April 2015. This result represented a 3.4 per cent increase compared to April 2014. New listings over the same period were down by 4.6 per cent year over year.
“Home sales in the GTA continued to increase in comparison to 2014 as a diversity of buyers took advantage of affordable home ownership options. However, in many neighbourhoods, listings remain scarce, particularly for ground-oriented home types like singles, semis and towns. Given the amount of pent-up demand in the market today, sales growth would accelerate further if more homes were listed for sale,” said Mr. Etherington.
The average selling price for April mid-month home sales was $625,121 – up seven per cent in comparison to the same time frame in 2014. Average prices were up for all major home types, both in the City of Toronto and the surrounding regions.
“We are experiencing balanced to seller’s market conditions in most areas and market segments in the GTA. This suggests that home ownership demand is being driven by a wide swath of the population. On one hand, strong growth in condo listings has been met with strong growth in condo sales. On the other hand, we have also experienced growth in higher-end home sales,” said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Director of Market Analysis.
