The risks of presale buying

June 29th, 2007
I have always discouraged my clients from buying presale condos, unless they are investors buying to flip and aware of the risks. The reason behind this recommendation is based primarily on experiences some of my clients have had after buying presale (on another note-why do they call it presale-its preconstruction but not presale-did the media make that up?).  Some buyers love the show home a ...

Recreational Property as an investment

June 28th, 2007
              It used to be much more difficult to buy invest in recreational property.  It used to be that it required a higher down payment, and less favourable mortgage terms.  Now lenders may be willing to lend at the same competitive rates given when buying a principal residence.  Of course, given the recent release of statistics showing that it costs an average of $1 million to bu ...

Leaving Vancouver for Hamilton??!!!

June 26th, 2007
  The prices in Vancouver appear to be driving some people out of the province; this is even occurring in Alberta as prices there have doubled in some places over the past year.  For example, my cousin, who is retiring from Canada Post in Edmonton, is now considering selling his house near the city and moving to a town about 45 minutes out of St. John’s Newfoundland .  ...
