GRIMSBY IS THE PLACE TO BE!

The picturesque Town of Grimsby is one of the nicest communities to live and raise your family in. It's nestled between Lake Ontario and the beautiful Niagara Escarpment.

The town has developed into the preferred place in which to live and do business in Niagara mainly because of its roots as a service centre to Niagara's growing agricultural industry as well as its small town atmosphere.  The warmth and friendliness of the residents and business owners and of course, its numerous community events and facilities draw people here.

Although Grimsby grows every year, no matter what the changes, its still retains its small town feeling.

 HOUSING PERFORMANCE EXPECTED TO ACCELERATE IN 2010...

AS ECONOMIC STABILITY RETURNS TO CANADIAN MARKETS, SAYS RE/MAX

Fifteen markets to set new records for average price in 2009

  Re/Max

Canada Map Things are looking up in most Canadian real estate markets and RE/MAX in Canada is spreading the good news. The RE/MAX Housing Market Outlook for 2010 is getting widespread attention in Canadian news publications from Newfoundland to British Columbia.

 The report, which examined residential real estate trends in 23 markets, estimates that sales and average listing prices increased in most major Canadian cities in 2009 - a trend expected to continue into next year.

In addition to the report, social media was used to relay the positive findings. Elton Ash, RE/MAX of Western Canada Regional Executive Vice President, and Michael Polzler, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada Regional Director and Executive Vice President, appear in separate YouTube videos to provide viewers with quick statistics and highlights for their respective regions.

View the RE/MAX of Western Canada video and the RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada video.

Ash, Polzler and Sylvain Dansereau, RE/MAX Quebec Executive Vice President, are quoted in dozens of news stories detailing the report's findings. Here are just some of the news media stories that prominently discuss or feature the RE/MAX report:

Canadian News Wire, Canadian Press, Reuters, Winnipeg Free Press, Edmonton Journal, CTV (Canadian TV), Victoria Times Colonist, New Brunswick Daily Gleaner, Ottawa Citizen

With economic performance improving across the country, residential real estate is right on its heels, according to the report. Eighty-three percent of markets are expecting sales to increase next year over 2009 levels while housing values are forecast to escalate in 91 percent of Canadian city centers in 2010.  The remaining markets will match 2009 levels.

"2009 was without question the year of the house," Polzler says in the report. "Real estate not only defied industry and analysts' predictions in 2009; it went well beyond the realm of expectation by boosting consumer confidence levels and ultimately kick starting the national economic engine."

Ash pointed out that some of the greatest percentage gains were reported in Western Canadian markets "demonstrating the higher the peak, the lower the valley," he said. And in Quebec, Dansereau points out that the region, which has one of the highest percentages of renters in Canada, "is well-poised for an escalation in homeownership levels as renters enter the market en masse to take advantage of ideal market conditions."

Home Buying Assistance

OFFER TO PURCHASE FORM
Understanding the Offer to Purchase Form is essential once your house hunting expedition is a success! You have found the perfect home, one that satisfies your needs, most of your wants- and best of all, fits your pocketbook. Now comes one of the most important phases of your home-buying experience: making an offer to purchase the home.

BUYING HOME CHECKLIST
If you are buying a home, then, before you decide on whether this home is your dream home, the following checklist will help you look at prospective homes with a critical eye. We suggest printing this page and putting it on a clipboard. When you find a home that really interests you, mark the features you see and note their general condition on this list.

SELLING A HOME CAPITAL GAINS TAX
The Income Tax Act does not specifically set out whether or not a gain or loss is capital in nature. The taxpayer is responsible for reporting the gain as income or capital gain. This report may then be challenged by the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency with the onus of proof on the taxpayer.

SELLING YOUR HOME ON YOUR OWN - OR USING A REAL ESTATE SALESPERSON
If you have decided that now is the time to sell your home, you might be thinking: should I hire a Real Estate Sales Representative or do it alone. Have you ever considered repairing your own car? Anyone can buy the tools and parts. However, most of us just do not have the knowledge, training, experience or the expertise and commitment of time to do the job properly. Besides, there are plenty of experienced professionals to do the work for us.

SELLING YOUR HOME - WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME?
When should I sell my home? Your answer to this question might be right now! If you have taken a job in another city or made an offer on a new home, or had an addition to your family, selling your home fast might be the most important goal you have. Most people, however, have some flexibility when they sell their home. Let us take a closer look at the most important factors that can go into this decision.

HOW REAL ESTATE MARKET CONDITIONS AFFECT YOUR OFFER PRICE
A hot market is a "seller’s market". During a seller’s market, properties can sell within a few days of being listed and there are often multiple offers. Sometimes homes even sell above the asking price. Though most buyers want to get a "deal" on a home, reducing your offer by even a few thousand dollars could mean that someone else will get the home you desire.
more
HOW DO REAL ESTATE PROS PRICE A LISTING?
A very accurate saying is that "Any home will sell once you get the price right." Of course, this is usually said from the perspective of dropping a price until it's too attractive to pass up. Actually, the accurate pricing of your home prior to listing is as much an art as it is a science.

DOWNSIZING YOUR RESIDENCE
A great many moves in our lives are to larger residences to accommodate growing families. Or, perhaps our financial development allows us to move up to a larger home with more features and amenities. There is no stress involved in trying to reduce our life’s stuff to fit into a smaller place. If anything, we just need to shop for some more furniture for the new larger place.

LOCATION, LOCATION.... MARKETING!
You may have lived in your home for many years. The location factors that you considered when making your purchase decision may not apply to today’s buyers. The task is to identify the current positive aspects of your home’s location and market them aggressively. When it comes to positive locations, people’s different attitudes and preferences will determine if a location is a “good” one.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MARKET A HOME FOR SALE?
Marketing a home for sale is quite different from most other types of marketing and advertising. Unlike marketing many products, homes are each unique. Marketing decisions will be based on thorough examination of the home’s features and comparison to the competition in the marketplace. Decisions must also be made concerning improvements that might enhance the home and sell it faster and for a higher price.

OFFERS AND NEGOTIATIONS
