Happy February & Valentine’s Day!

Ottawa Rideau Canal in Winter

It is so nice to have more daylight hours for many reasons. Showing homes with natural light benefits buyers and sellers, and we all enjoy the extra time to be outside. We have been meeting our clients personally and enjoy our chats about market value and family.

Everyone is trying to predict what is going on and weighing the information presented by banks, government and realtors. For the many years I have been in the business there have been cycles when the market goes up and flattens out. Note the Ottawa market has rarely lost very much year over year, see our 50 years of change. We have learned patience is key and selling and purchasing in the same type of market allows you to maintain your investment. Ottawa is recognized as a wonderful place to live and an excellent investment.

If you are thinking of selling or purchasing, it is always good to touch base with your bank and mortgage broker to review your options, terms of your present mortgage & know any new lending rules and rebates for first-time buyers. If you are thinking of undertaking a small renovation, a coat of paint or refinancing, contact us. Everything to do with your home we have it! It is a good time to sell and purchase for many clients.

This month we’ve included:

  • An Update on the Ottawa Market and Information on the Requirement of Appraisals for Mortgages
  • Articles on: The Top 3 Improvements to Consider Before Selling, Market Value of Your Home & Preparing Your Home for Market, Thinking of Buying a New Build Home
  • Market news and Upcoming community events including the Heart Institutes’ Light the Town Red initiative to raise awareness & support for the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

Enjoy February, Winterlude and the many other winter festivals. Consider making a donation to the Heart Institute if  you can. As always, feel free to get in touch with us with any questions, if you need a professional contact or to chat. We would love to hear from you!
