Water In My Basement! 😳

Since this month has treated us to lots and lots of water I thought we should talk about basements, water and sump pumps. Not all basements have sump pumps and not all house’s have basements. It really honestly depends on the area you live in whether or not you need a sump pump. In Brock Township some of our land is on flood plains and has a lot of water running underground. This makes sense since we live so close to Lake Simcoe and have a couple of rivers throughout our township. When looking to purchase a house you need […]

Don’t forget to spruce up the outside of your home.

Let’s talk about getting your house ready for sale….the outside. Recently I’ve seen some homes that have been completely renovated or partially renovated BUT for some reason the outside has been neglected. We are now allowed to post many more photos on MLS and realtor.ca. This allows buyers to see more angles of each room and all the details that have been fixed, refreshed, reorganized, etc. However if you have gone to the trouble, time and cost of doing all of these but forget to spruce up the outside you are doing yourself a huge disservice.

Real Estate Market April 2021

Will the market crash? What’s happening in the market right now? Take a moment and listen to the video I just made regarding the market. We are definitely seeing a softening of the market but by no means a crash. What do I mean by softening? More sellers are putting there houses on the market so there is less competition. We are seeing not as many people through houses, less offers on each house and not as many are going way over asking. The Toronto Real Estate Board just put out it’s numbers for last month and they are slightly […]
