Selling Your Home: The Price Is Right
Many real estate professionals consider price, marketing, and condition the three most important controllable factors affecting the sale of a home, with price being the most important of them all. If you really think about it, pretty much anything will sell if it’s priced right. An old non-classic beat up car would probably not attract many buyers at an asking price of $10,000, but at $500, fixer-upper buyers suddenly appear willing and able to purchase the vehicle. Market value of real estate is determined by what willing buyers will pay within a reasonable time period. How do you determine the market value of your home? The most common method used is the Comparative Market Analysis, also known as a “CMA”. The CMA report will include comparable properties that closely match your property’s characteristics and location, which are currently for sale or have recently sold. The purpose of the analysis is to arrive at an estimated fair market value, or the price at which a home will sell within a reasonable amount of time. Major factors that affect the value of a home include location, competition, market timing, and condition. Most real estate agents will be more than happy to prepare a CMA for you free of charge, and you may want to request an analysis from more than one agent. A professional appraiser can also be employed to determine home value. An appraiser can be particularly helpful where there are no comparables that closely match your property’s characteristics and location.
If Mortgage Rates Can Fall Through the "floor" of the Prime Rate…what Else is Under the Floor?
“Lower than prime,” you heard someone say. Like most Canadians, you were probably first skeptical and then confused. We tend to think of the prime lending rate as the invisible “floor” of lending rates. The very best customers can get very close to that floor. It is theoretically possible, we reason, to actually be ON the floor, but not possible to be below it.
Home Improvement Loans – Pre-planning is Key
If you are anything like me, as soon as the weather starts getting a little warmer, you start looking around the house at all of the different improvements you can make to your home. A little paint here, a little tile there, a new floor, new kitchen cabinets, new appliances, new bathroom fixtures, and the list goes on and on.
After being in the home improvement business for a few years now, the one thing I have noticed is that people do not realize how important it is to pre-plan their home improvement financing options. February and March are the months when people should start thinking about getting their financing together for any home improvement projects they want to complete this spring or summer.
Destroying the Us$ is not Good Policy
There are consequences to debasing a currency and none of them are positive. US monetary policy is a conscious attempt to devalue its currency; increase exports and inflate the US economy out of the financial crisis precipitated by a fall in house prices. It is both an unnecessary and quite dangerous policy.
The reasons for the U$ decline are varied but at the core are 3 issues. First the US is printing too much money and interest rates are too low [3% in the US vs 5.25 % in the UK, and 4% in the EU]. Second, fiscal improvidence, entitlement programs and subsidies are leading to budget deficits. Third, higher returns are being realised outside the US and these returns are not U$ denominated.

Is Home Financing an Impossible Dream?
Recent Gallup Polls on consumer confidence and opinion are not good. Only a rough 5% of American consumers think our economy is in decent shape, and only around 12% are of the opinion that things will improve any time soon. But can one really blame them? Foreclosure rates have been rising, while housing prices have been in steep decline. And on top of that a variety of well respected lending institutions have come dangerously close to folding. It’s not hard to become a cynic in times like these.
