Stay tuned to any changes The real estate market is constantly changing, so you need to monitor the activity in your area on an ongoing basis. If you’ve taken into account the selling price of recently sold properties in your neighbourhood, you now have to make sure your asking price remains competitive over time. That means keeping track of new homes on the market, as well as their selling prices, so you can adjust your price accordingly. Longer selling times, fierce competition and low prices: things are tough for sellers in a buyer’s market. The homes for sale outnumber the potential buyers, who have plenty of properties to choose from and all the time in the world to do it. How can you, a seller, stand out in this type of environment? Here are some tips to help you sell your property in a buyer’s market. 1. Set a competitive selling price For a real estate transaction to succeed, you have to adapt to the market. When buyers are few and far between, you might choose to lower the selling price a bit or keep a smaller negotiating margin. In other words, you have to advertise an asking price that is more likely to attract potential buyers. You may also have to accept the fact that you’ll get less money than you’d hoped for your property. However, that might be better than being stuck with your house, especially if you have already bought another home and you can’t pay for them both simultaneously. 2. Offer an attractive product It’s no big secret: to attract potential buyers you need to offer a product that can compete with other similar properties available in your area. It’s in your best interest to compete in terms of price and in how you differentiate yourself from other homes in your neighbourhood. Look for what sets your property apart from the others (location, view, pool or fireplace) and emphasize it. Buying in a seller’s market? You can also put the odds in your favour by making your property as attractive and welcoming as possible. depersonalize the rooms. Make sure the photos of your home show it off to advantage. Do some fix-up work if necessary, and follow home staging guidelines: put extraneous things away, declutter and Work with a real estate agent to make sure the marketing strategy is satisfactory and that your home has good visibility. When the number of homes on the market is low, you have to be prepared to move quickly because the best properties get snapped up fast. Hone in on exactly what you want and do everything you can to accelerate your efforts. For instance, consider applying for a pre-approved mortgage; that way, it will take less time to get a loan commitment. In addition, a pre-approved mortgage can play in your favour when you make an offer, as the seller won’t have to worry about your financing application being refused. around your Home Specializing in All Your Mortgage Needs!

PAGE 16 - PICTOU COUNTY REAL ESTATE GUIDE MAY 2016 Documents to have on hand when selling your home Have you decided to sell your home? If so, you’re going to have to gather together a few important documents. They will provide potential buyers with all the information they need concerning your property; some of the documents may even be required in order to conclude the transaction. Here are a few that you may need to have: Have the home of your dreams inspected before buying it so your dream doesn’t turn into a nightmare. Buying a home: why have it inspected? You’ve found a house you’d like to buy? What is the condition of its roof, foundation, heating and air conditioning systems, electrics, plumbing, insulation, ventilation, interior and exterior walls and ceilings? That is what a home inspection is for. It tells you what kind of shape the physical structure is in as well as the condition of the systems installed in it. The most important thing is to detect major flaws that could reduce the building’s value or pose a risk of danger in the future. Consequently, when the inspector gives you this report, you’ll know the exact state of the home you’ve set your heart on and you can predict the cost of any necessary maintenance work that needs to be done in the foreseeable future. If the house will require some urgent and expensive work, such as re-roofing, you can use the report as leverage in demanding that the necessary repairs be done or in negotiating a lower selling price. If you made an offer conditional to a satisfactory inspection which then reveals a defect, you can withdraw from the transaction without a problem. In the case of a hidden defect, the inspection report will show that you took all the necessary precautions at the time of purchase. In short, having the property of your dreams inspected before you buy it is the best way to avoid unpleasant surprises and unexpected expenses. How smart is your home? The future is now and with home technology advancing at such a rapid pace, it can be tough to keep up and know where to start when it comes to improving our capabilities. Research estimates that half of all Canadians will buy a 'smart' home product in the next year. Here are three game changing technologies to get you started: 1. Smart Kitchen Love to cook? Now your appliances can help you craft the perfect meal. GE Appliances is launching its new Profile Infinite Collection Range featuring Chef Connect. This technology wirelessly connects the range to the over the range microwave so that the two appliances work in sync. Cooking on the stove at high heat? The range fan will automatically turn on. Changing the clocks after a power outage? The two clocks are connected so you can set the time once and forget it.

Do I need to have a location certificate? A location certificate (also known as a surveyor’s certificate or real property report, depending on where you live in Canada) is a document issued by a land surveyor. It indicates the surveyor’s opinion on the condition of the property according to the title deeds, land registry, proximity to floodplains, zoning and municipal bylaws. the house, outbuildings, fences and hedges; easements (such as a right of way); the presence of electric wires and any encroachments from adjacent properties. Sometimes a lender may require a new property survey when you want to make a bid on some real estate. The survey report, which includes a map, shows all the significant features of the property: the boundaries of the lot; the location of Choosing the right windows Windows are a key component for comfort and beauty in any home. They also add to its value should you decide to sell. With so many options for replacing old windows, you'll want to research your options carefully before you buy. “Given the high cost of replacing windows, the more you know, the better,” says a broker-owner with Royal LePage Realty. “With any window replacement, you want to think most about heat transfer.” 2. Smart Thermostat For many of us, home heating and cooling make up half our home energy use. Ecobee, a Toronto-based company, designed the first wi-fi enabled smart thermostat that uses a series of data points to make intelligent heating and cooling decisions to save you money and reduce your environmental impact – without any compromise at all.

A new roof, for instance, could justify a higher selling price. All windows leak heat to some degree. In winter, warm air inside escapes through the glass; in summer, the heat outside penetrates the glass. With that said, windows today have come a long way with insulating values. They also offer features for safety and ease of cleaning. Stellarton, Nova Scotia C.J. Installations Inc.

Double glazed windows are adequate in moderate climates, or for southern exposures. If you live in a cooler climate, triple-glazed windows are a better option. Better windows have an inert argon or krypton gas injected between the layers of glass. This greatly reduces the transmission of heat, also known as U-value. In addition, look for windows with Low-E glass, which means the glass is treated with a metallic oxide spray to cut down on UV light passing through the glass. The coating reflects heat in the summer and helps retain heat in the winter. www.newscanada.com MAY 2016 PICTOU COUNTY REAL ESTATE GUIDE - PAGE 17 Your Partner’s in Real Estate 183 Provost Street, New Glasgow Tel: 902-752-8335 www.hlmrealties.com NEW LISTING NEW LISTING 306 Douglas Road, Alma $559,000 NEW LISTING NEW LISTING 608 Terrace Street, New Glasgow $419,000 Caribou Island is an exclusive community of (seasonal and year-round) homes and recreational properties.

All Listings Are MLS Unless Indicated PAGE 22 - PICTOU COUNTY REAL ESTATE GUIDE Maximize your basement's potential If today's real estate market has you frazzled, a home renovation project may be just the right answer. With house prices on the rise, finishing a basement is the latest trend towards building even more equity in the home. A finished basement can offer a little extra room to give a growing family space to breathe, and with so many uses, a renovated basement may be the exact solution to what your home is missing. It can provide additional storage space, a sound-proofed media room, craft room, guest room, or income suite. The possibilities are endless. Here are some tips on how to give your basement a 180-degree makeover: Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage or mold problems. Address any primary moisture issues before finishing the space. Examine grading to ensure water runs away from your foundation. Soundproof it. Installing acoustic insulation is the perfect excuse to crank up the subwoofer, host a get-together or let the kids run wild. Soundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize your basement's peace, quiet and privacy. Industry experts suggest using Roxul Safe n' Sound, which effectively absorbs sound and is easy to work with. Add or replace flooring. Installing a new floor can improve the overall comfort level and look of your basement. Vinyl, laminate, ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood are great options. Say no to carpet, which can harbour mold and allergens, particularly in the basement, and don't forget to lay a subfloor. Add Colour. Transform the dull and boring space into an inviting oasis or a colourful playroom with a simple coat of paint. If your basement has low ceilings or limited natural light, choose lighter, warmer tones to brighten the space. To add some drama, consider adding depth and visual interest to your space with a different coloured accent wall. Accessorize it. Throw pillows, rugs, lighting, and artwork are simple additions that can immediately enhance or change your basement's look and feel. Pot lights can modernize, while art work and throw pillows can add a splash of colour. Accessories are really an opportunity to make it your own and let your personality shine through. They also provide an inexpensive way to keep your space looking fresh from year to year.

Here are some simple – and affordable – ways to pump up the wow factor. them with tall ornamental grass for added privacy as well as visual interest. For a designer touch, take a look when grocery shopping at the PC Deco Wall Hanging Planter. Vines are very helpful – especially if the view of your backyard includes a chain link fence or the side of a shed or garage. Use colourful, fast-growing vines like Honeysuckle or Virginia Creeper. If you're beautifying a wall, you'll need a lattice, which you can buy in sheets at the hardware store. Lighting adds so much to your garden. Aim a spotlight up the base of a tree into the branches for some real drama. Strings of white lights around bushes are a special touch – and you can even place them throughout topiary forms to emphasize the shapes. Gardening advisors at Loblaw stores remind us that hanging baskets always look stunning on a porch or a veranda. Choose a bright basket like the popular PC Fortunia Star Lavender Hanging Basket (pictured) and have fun mixing colours and shapes. It's an easy way to brighten up a deck, balcony or front porch. Accessories are affordable and make a difference. Add some instant character by setting up an antique-style bench padded with comfy cushions. Or hang a mesh hammock under some shady trees and drape it with a cozy fleece blanket. www.newscanada.com The sound and motion of water gently falling from a fountain brings serenity to your garden – and it can look fantastic. Place a water feature in the corner of your patio or right in the garden bed, as long as it's on a sturdy base. Advisors also tell us to never underestimate the power of planters. Set them around the edge of your patio to separate the space from the yard or put them right in the garden. Fill New technology helps increase safety for the deaf and hard of hearing Hearing smoke alarms blaring and escaping a fire is a terrifying experience for anyone. Now, imagine if you are deaf or hard of hearing. A smoke alarm with an integrated LED strobe light has been introduced by Kidde Canada to help the deaf and their family members have greater peace of mind in fire emergencies. Designed to be hardwired into a home's electrical system, the new device also features a 10-year sealed backup battery to keep the alarm functioning during a power outage. It never needs to be changed for the life of the alarm. As a hardwired and interconnected smoke alarm, this new model can be connected with other alarms in a home. If some of those are the same integrated strobe light alarm, all strobes will flash in a synchronized fashion in an emergency. “An aging population is a fact of life and along with that often comes, hearing loss,” Heller adds. “This new alarm reduces barriers to safety for those who are deaf or hard of hearing in a single device that is relatively inconspicuous…until it is called into action.” www.newscanada.com A voice warning also calls out “Fire!” if the alarm activates. It will also call out “Carbon Monoxide!” if it is interconnected with a separate Kidde carbon monoxide alarm. “In the past, it was possible to add a strobe light to hardwired smoke alarms but you ended up with two units on your ceiling,” says Carol Heller of Kidde. “A powerful strobe light has now been integrated right into the smoke alarm, along with a 10-year backup battery, a first in Canada.” MAY 2016 PICTOU COUNTY REAL ESTATE GUIDE - PAGE 23 What to look for in an investment property Historically, the appreciation rate for real estate is very strong. Even when the housing market declines, long-term investors in real estate can rest easy knowing that property values tend to rebound rather quickly, rewarding patient investors in the process. Looking at real estate as a long-term investment is just one way approach a potential investment property. The following are a few additional considerations prospective investors should contemplate before buying an investment property. Location Many people are familiar with the real estate industry axiom, “location, location, location!” When buying an investment property, location is everything. A great location should outweigh your own personal feelings about the home, especially if you do not intend to live at the property. You will likely define a great location for an investment property differently than you would a property you intend to live in, so don’t let your own desires in a home cloud your judgement when choosing an investment property. Properties in safe neighborhoods that boast good schools and offer easy access to public transportation tend to make great investment properties. Décor Décor is another thing to consider when looking for an investment property. If you don’t plan to reside in the property, your opinion of the décor should not carry much weight. When viewing a property, try to imagine how much it might appeal to prospective tenants. Quirky properties typically do not appeal to as many prospective tenants as properties whose décor are similar to other homes in the area. Though you might find a tenant who prefers properties with unique interiors, a property that appeals to as many prospective tenants as possible often makes for a better investment and a lot less stress when the time comes to find tenants. Condition The condition of the property also must be considered before buying an investment property. Some investors want a fixer-upper, while others prefer turnkey properties that won’t require any elbow grease. The former type of property likely won’t cost as much as a fully renovated property, but those cost savings might be lost when it’s time to renovate. Find a property that’s in the type of condition you’re comfortable with. If you decide to go with a fixer-upper, learn the cost of your potential projects before submitting an offer. Cost Real estate makes a great investment, but don’t go overboard when buying an investment property. Before making an offer on a property, research rents in the area and the cost of insurance in that particular neighborhood. You want a property that essentially pays for itself, so make sure the rent you’re likely to collect is enough to cover your monthly costs, including the mortgage on the property, insurance and the costs associated with managing and maintaining the property. Real estate investors often reap great rewards when selling their properties. But it’s still important for potential investors to consider a host of factors before investing in a property.
