Someone asked me today to give some thoughts about selling homes in the winter.

I do believe that a home that is priced well will sell in all markets but those that have the least number of objections, of course, will sell first. I do know that most people think that the best time to sell is in the spring. Logic suggests that this be so because it is when there is the most number of Buyers. It is, however, also the time when there is the most number of houses to sell, so the competition may be fierce and you always want to be first.

Be very mindful of the competition and what they are selling and be competitive with others.

Having an attitude to sell is an important place to start. Often I hear folks say “we are not in a hurry”. This converts to an unmotivated Seller, whose only interest in selling is at a certain price; a price that is often not supported by what the market will bear. So let’s assume you are interested in selling and go from there.

Arranging a pre-sale house inspection is a good start. This way the Seller can eliminate any issues prior to the sale and feel confident that the product they are selling is blemish free.

Making your home the most attractive in your category is not about renovating but eliminating as many objections to a new owner as possible for the price point.

The simplest things to do are very basic but not always how people function in their everyday world. Staging is the rule today.

Neutral colours, clean and organized closets, eliminate clutter. Cleanliness is next to Godliness! Remember that line?

A clean house reflects an image to potential Buyers of how the rest of the house has been maintained. Clean carpets, clean floors, clean windows, clean appliances and clean baths are all critical. Clean furnaces and ductwork are always a consideration. Consider having your furnace serviced before listing if you did not do so before the winter season arrived. If you have done any renovations where drywall was installed or sanded or you have pets, consider having ductwork cleaned as well.

Tidy bedrooms with the beds all made and preferably matching bedding often enhances the presentation. Window coverings that are operational and functional are important. Clear sidewalks and driveways in winter. Good exterior lighting for appointments later in the day will ensure a safe visit and highlight your property. Often exterior lighting does enhance the curb appeal.

Easy access to the key for the agents who are showing the property is important and make sure your agent ensures the lockbox does not freeze up. I have known agents to leave properties if this is an impediment. When there are lots of other options they may simply move on to the next one.

Lights all on and window coverings all open no matter the time of day is a good rule of thumb to prepare for a showing and the most important of all is to start at the right price.

No amount of marketing will sell an overpriced listing. Good luck!

Should you be interested in selling your home now or in the near future, Exceptional Properties is a phone call or touch away!

October and the fall are upon us yet it feels like summer has just arrived in September! Unseasonably warm weather is welcome after such a disappointing summer and with it has come as even brisker fall Real Estate market.

Realtors across the city will tell you that this is one of the city’s busiest Real Estate markets in a very long time and statistics support this view. The listing inventory across the city is generally, very low. As an example, units available in the west end of the city are at about a month supply of inventory, and in the east end 2 months supply of inventory. Anecdotally, we have begun to see movement in some sectors of the Capital region in the upper end of the condo market as well as increased sales in leisure property. This all adds up to a busy Real Estate market at a time when other markets in other cities appear to be waning.

Interest rates that are slowly creeping up (2 consecutive Federal rate increases) seem to be giving some Buyers the impetus to get off the fence to buy but the lack of available inventory is causing a challenge. Home owners may wish to make a change but the lack of desirable supply may give pause to such a decision.

If you are giving some consideration to selling I have suggested to our clients the concept of “be prepared” especially if being an owner of two homes is not part of your plan. Planning ahead makes sense especially if you have lived in your current home for a period of time. If so, you may likely have been able to accumulate a lot of things. While weighing out your options this is a good time to have a trusted realtor into your home to give you a good understanding as to what will be required to prepare your house to bring it to the market and what the anticipated market value could reasonably be. Have you deferred some maintenance on your home? How is the landscaping? This includes pieces such as entry stairs, exterior paint, and trim, downspouts, fences and garage doors. How does the roof look? What about windows, insulation, electrical, mechanicals and plumbing on the interior? Are there some things that you need to address before you go to the market? If the answer is yes to one or several of these items perhaps creating an action plan and budget to update some of these deferred items is a start. Remember, everything a new Buyer must do to get the house updated will be dollars they will be deducting from the purchase price.

Once the realtor understands your property you can expect to get an estimated price for what your home will sell for in the current market in the next 30-45 days. This price is fluid. As events unfold in your world expect fluctuations in this price as well. As an example, in the west end of the Nation’s Capital the former Nortel complex will be expecting some 8500 employees over the next several years. The addition of rapid transit servicing the area is going to bring more people into this part of the region. This may have an effect on prices all other things being equal.

Editing the volume of things in your home is another way of preparing your home for sale. Decluttering closets and cupboards while purging the house of all unnecessary and unused items is a good place to start to prepare your home for sale. If you have not used it in the last 18 months then maybe you know someone else who will. Just because you have the space does not necessarily mean you have to fill it!

Once you have purged and repaired you may want to freshen up with paint or remove wallpaper that gives a dated feel to your home. When to paint or remove wallpaper? If someone can predict the year it was painted then it is time to repair and change the colour. Those small print, dusty rose wallpapers from 1980 are the ones I am referring to. Sarah Richardson from HGTV loves white! Whites come in a variety of tones and shades from warm to cool so there is not anything like plain white anymore. White backgrounds are perfect for any kind of furniture that can be accented or highlighted with a splash of colour using cushions and artwork.

Remove all personal items from view, that includes photos. Pieces like diplomas, awards, or other items where potential buyers are able to identify and determine personal things about you and your family should be edited and carefully packed and put away ready for your move.

So you have edited, repaired and painted. The final thing is a good cleaning. Be thorough. If you have carpets have them sent out to be cleaned. If you have broadloom have a professional service come in and steam clean them. Nothing speaks to how your home has cared for more than cleanliness and tidiness. If you have pets this is of particular importance. Having a clean litter box is paramount. In a market when choices are few you may have more flexibility but when there is more to choose from these small things can often times be deal breakers. Smoking in a home can reduce the value of upwards to 15%. Smoke leaves a lingering odour while the nicotine rests on switch plates, and walls.

At Exceptional Properties, we have a variety of supports in place for all of our clients in order to make the transition as seamless and smooth as possible. We respect that for most Buyers and Sellers this is likely the most amount of money you will spend on any one thing and we focus on taking care of that investment with you.

Should you be looking for some friendly Real Estate advice please, I will always make myself and our team available to serve you.

February has certainly been a month for snow but it does seem that Buyers are not necessarily holding back. There are anecdotal reports of sales with multiple offers and homes selling within days of reaching the market already which bodes well for the spring market. Indications are that our spring Real Estate market may be stronger than we have had for awhile.

So how do you prepare? If you are considering a sale this spring then perhaps meeting with your agent early on in the process is the right place to start. Understanding the value of your property is wise and getting suggestions about how to prepare your home for listing is strongly advisable. Often, in late model homes (15 years or more), I recommend having a pre-sale house inspection from a reputable, well-respected inspector. This will provide you with some valuable insight into your home and give you a heads up as to things that require attention. It is always better to be aware of any deficiencies before you sell, rather than at the time of a conditional sale which can have painful consequences that will hurt your pocket book. Things like older mechanicals, plumbing, lead water service, and asbestos in insulation, tile or wrap around pipes in older homes is a problem. Knob and tube wiring, aluminum wiring (usually from the 70’s) can all present themselves as surprises to both a Buyer and Seller. Foundation problems can often surface when there is evidence of water penetration or strong odours that suggest dampness in basements. Roofing, chimneys and older windows may raise some issues so knowing ahead of time is important.

If you find on a pre-sale house inspection that there are problems then what do you do? I do not recommend ignoring them. I suggest the best way to manage any of these objections is to do one of two things; either remedy the issue with a professional in the trade and retain a copy for your records or to obtain quotes from a respected professional in the trade to manage the repair and to factor this into the equation when pricing your home from the outset.

Any information that you do discover on your pre-sale house inspection that would influence the decision in either way of any reasonable Buyer advancing to purchase the home must be disclosed. If there was water damage in the past and it was repaired, then you must still disclose that information.

Other items that may come up when selling your home are things like easements, encroachments, and rights of way. It is always important to disclose this to your agent up front in the pre-listing phase; otherwise, if discovered too far down the road such as at the time of title search, the sale may be in peril. Buyers have had issues buying properties with encroachments not disclosed at the time of purchase, for example, and discovered that they are not able to obtain financing because the lender will not accept the value with the encroachment undisclosed. It may have sold but it may have had a perceived lesser value had the Buyer been aware prior to their purchase.

Looking for an agent can sometimes be an overwhelming proposition. There are so many from which to choose. Some people chose an agent because that agent is the dominant one in the neighbourhood. That might be a reason to select that person, but I always like to remember that so many people wanted to invest with Bernie Madoff because everyone else was. Few people did any more due diligence than that and selecting Bernie turned out to be a failing proposition for many.

Often a good way to choose an agent is by recommendations. Just like how you might select a painter or a builder. If your friends or colleagues have had a good experience, chances are that you might too.

But perhaps the best way to select an agent is to take all of these suggestions and choose one other agent and set up an interview process. During this process, you will be constantly evaluating these individuals, just as you would in a typical job interview. Agents are applying for the job to represent your interests in the sale of your home and the liquidation of your largest asset. Who do you believe is the best fit for you in this process? Who do you believe will be transparent and work on your behalf? Who do you believe will be there when things become difficult? Who will be the most skillful negotiator on your behalf? Who will work for you as their priority and not for themselves? Who will keep you regularly informed and updated with how the market is doing and how you are doing in it? These are all good questions when considering your next move.

If you are considering buying or selling Real Estate in the next few months or simply would like to learn more about the process, I am only a phone call away and would welcome the opportunity to meet with you.

Until then, enjoy the days ahead as we prepare for an early spring and what is promising to be a strong Real Estate market.

The weather is getting warmer and as we approach Canada Day it really feels like summer.

We have family friends coming to Ottawa to stay with us to experience the celebration of Canada Day‎ in the Capital; an experience that every Canadian should have.

We love to walk along Sussex and go up to the Hill and take it all in.

This weather makes me think of gardens, pools, cottages, docks and everything that goes with all of those experiences. One of those is of course sprucing up your gardens, decks, dock or pool and that means furniture.

I am always on the look out for handsome classic Muskoka Chairs which are hard to come by. There is the Muskoka Chair company of course but by the time I get the order done and decided on a colour it will be Labour Day! My husband and I were driving up to the country and found beautiful classic Mukoka chairs made by a local craftsman Donat Chevalier in Low, Quebec. We purchased 6 of them and are going to have them stained in perfect time for the long weekend and the beginning of summer.

That was a real find for sure. Donat mills the wood and fabricates furniture for interiors as well as garden furniture, cabinets‎ and a variety of other items. His work is fine and reflects a sense of pride every artist has in a work they are so committed to.

The real estate market in Ottawa has been inconsistent with bursts of activity and then a quiet period and then another burst of activity.

Properties in the upper end of the spectrum in the top 10% of the market ($750,000 and up) have ‎enjoyed brisk activity in certain neighbourhoods while in others, they are lingering.

This may have something to do with a desire in many buyers minds to have a strong walkability scale. They have reduced themselves to one car and are thinking very green.

Neighbourhoods like Westboro, Old Ottawa South and the Glebe remain hot tickets and when priced well, they’ll sell quickly.

No matter what you are thinking of doing it is best to have representation form a qualified and competant professional who is available to advise you on the ins and outs of real estate investment.

Many fail to see that your real estate is likely your single largest investment. Doesn’t it make sense to put the management of that asset in the hands of an experienced professional in order to get the most amount of money, with the fewest challenges‎, in the current market? A skilled agent can save you problems on the sale and purchase end that as an inexperienced investor you may overlook.

I am always available to talk about real estate. In fact it is my favourite subject. I believe in the notion of educating and empowering our clients‎ to help them make strong decisions regarding their investments.

Please if you would like to talk about your real estate needs, I am available to talk.

Until then, have a wonderful summer!

Spring is here! The snow is melting, Easter is coming, and Real Estate sales are climbing.

This typically is the time when folks get out and begin spring cleaning, and then become inspired to make some changes. The Eureka moment happens and suddenly people are wall papering (a new trend), painting (watch for the Pantone colour of the year), installing new kitchens and designing new baths.

The trends in home styling are very exciting and some, of course, have already begun to surface‎ here in Ottawa.

Texture evidently is in and you will see it everywhere – in fabric, tile, and natural stone. Well known, designer favourite tile companies Ann Sacks and Walker Zanger, both from the U.S., have revealed gorgeously detailed textured tiles in their new lines and local designer Lindsay Mullaly has started using textured natural stone surfaces in her projects.

I loved the Antolini textured stone I saw in a recent posting on Design Milk from the show. As I mentioned earlier, I have seen this used recently in combination with exquisite custom, walnut cabinetry for a kitchen. The use of these organic materials creates a relaxed, naturally comfortable feeling in a space that is unique.

The show suggests that there is a retro look surfacing and wooden handles and drawer pulls are popular. It all feels kind of revitalized 70s in a way with exciting, vibrant wallpapers out there as well. I love some of it, and other stuff not so much, but variety makes life interesting.

The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas recently rolled out to all what is currently trending.

You may have seen that stainless is getting colourized. Kitchen Aid for a few months has been showing graphite, stainless steel appliances as well as black stainless which is becoming quite trendy.

Don’t be surprised when you see texture surfacing on faucets. Indeed, not only texture on faucets but mixing metals and materials on faucets is a new direction seen at the show.

‎I think it is exciting and a welcome introduction to a market that frankly has become tired and in need of something new.

Bring it on!

2016 already? What will it have in store for us in the real estate market in Ottawa?

The real estate market across Canada has some definite hot spots and others that have been flat. Most folks get their information about the real estate market from the newspapers, or other media. CREA, the Canadian Real Estate Council produces stats monthly and they are reprinted in papers and periodicals across the country. News casts and papers frequently have big openers that features lines about the huge gains in real estate giving the general public the idea that their homes are worth perhaps much more than they really are. Generalizing about the market can be a bit misleading when trying to make some business decisions in your local market. It is best to consult with a local Realtor or two to get a true snap shot of your particular market. You should also be aware that there are agents who specialize in certain types of real estate and marketing and selling luxury property is a specialty all on its own.

The Ottawa market was one of the markets that had a weaker performance when compared to what CMHC coined as the “robust” markets in Vancouver or Toronto.

The fundamentals in both these cities are very different from those in the Nation’s Capital region. This market has long been considered a stable market, supported by an economy primarily based in the Public Service. The base is a well educated group of consumers who seem to be conservative in their decision making particularly when it comes to big ticket items. With federal government cut backs in the recent past, many folks were uncertain about their job security. This lack of confidence appeared to result in the real estate market in Ottawa being affected more specifically in the top 10% of the market. In Ottawa this affects homes in the $750,000 range and more. To give you some perspective on this the top 10% of the market, in Toronto it would be $1,600,000 and in Vancouver it would be even higher.

When taking these factors into consideration and looking at the number of homes that are available for sale in this price point in our region and looking at the diminished level of interested buyers, one can see why this piece of the market has been performing so poorly. It is not uncommon to see properties listed for more than 365 days: a frustrating phenomenon to Sellers.
Not everything is bad news in this part of the market. There is a silver lining! With market value assessment in effect, rising property values in these other locales mean rising property taxes as well. While home owners in the other two major cities have been enjoying big value increases, this has come with the price of significant rises in property taxes.

Ottawa has always been the city of slow and steady growth in real estate; no big gains and therefore, generally, no big losses. In markets where there is the constant pressure on prices moving up, buyers often, incorrectly believe, that the market will never re adjust. They believe it will just keep going up forever and as a result they fuel a sense of panic, feeling that they have to get in now or they will never be able to afford a house.

I believe in the adage that what goes up eventually must come down in these sky rocketing markets and prices in housing will hit a ceiling. There will be adjusting in these hot markets. No market can sustain the climb indefinitely. Please note, I have suggested a re adjustment and not a crash.

To be safe when you are in one of these volatile markets one should take a step back and consider your decisions. Does your life plan have you in the house or city for the next five years or are you looking at other employment opportunities that could take you out of the area? If so, then perhaps buying with your plans in flux is not the best option and you may wish to consider renting. You may also wish to consider buying with the prospect that you will hold on to your asset, rent it out, re locate and have it building equity while you are away.

In the upper end there has never been a better time to buy up in Ottawa. There is a large selection of homes in a variety of settings. There are the well known neighbourhoods of Rockcliffe Park and Rothwell Heights that both offer bucolic natural settings and are close to the heart of the city and there is the classic urban location of The Glebe. Further afield Ottawa boasts country estate like living in Cedarhill, Orchard Estates, Rideau Forest and Rural Kanata as well as lakefront properties and newer construction in communities such as the Sunset Lakes developments in Greely. Manotick offers beautiful riverfront living as well as wonderful custom homes in Manotick Estates and large scale homes in Minto’s newest Mahogony development. All that to say, there is something for everyone in the luxury market in Ottawa and it offers some excellent opportunities.

This brings me to financing. As you are aware The Fed in the U.S. has moved to adjust interest rates up. However in Canada, Stephen Poloz, the Governor of the Bank of Canada, has said that the bank will not be adjusting rates at the moment despite moves from the Royal Bank to move mortgage rates up. Although not a large rate increase, RBC has made a move to where the current rates for a 5 year fixed term at RBC is 3.04 percent from 2.94. In Rob Carrick’s words (Globe and Mail ROB, January 7, 2016) it moves a mortgage of $400,000 amortized over 25 years up to $1,901 from $1,181 per month. Not too bad, but it is the slow creep that can become an issue. The question is will others follow?

I have always encouraged our clients to use the services of a Mortgage Broker when looking at mortgage opportunities. Buyers always assume that their bank will give them the best rate because they are an “important” customer and the bank wants to keep them happy. However, they are in the business of making money and have costs they must re coup. Carrick from Globe and Mail suggests Buyers should always shop for a mortgage before signing on the dotted line with their financial institution because it is such a competitive field. He reported today that a quick survey from brokers this week had 5 year fixed rates as low as 2.44 percent, significantly less than RBC’s position.

So you can see that just like you would not necessarily buy the first house you see, maybe you should not take the first rate quote from your bank that you hear and speak to a mortgage broker who will provide you with a variety of options that are in your best interest and not the banks!

It does feel like the Ottawa market has taken a turn for the positive and this has been noted both anecdotally and in the board stats where the market was up for the month of December by 10%.
If you are thinking about a move to either bigger, smaller or a change in lifestyle, now is the time to get your ducks in order. Secure your financing position before you head out and as always the team at Exceptional Properties is just a phone call away to speak about strategy and planning.

Let’s hope that 2016 is a terrific year with health and prosperity for all.

There is a wonderful feeling of fresh air. Fall is my most favorite season as it brings colour, cooler temperatures and a sense of people getting ready for something. Whether it is new beginnings as the new school year starts for students, profs, teachers and parents or folks out looking for a new start in a new home be it a bigger home for a growing family or a smaller home as they begin to leave the nest, it feels like the timing is just perfect.

Much has been written in several periodicals about the real estate market across the land and I believe it is a topic that most people like to discuss because, let’s face it, many of us have a vested interest. I find that wherever you go there seems to be a growing number of experts at every function, however, my advice is to get your data and knowledge from someone who actually practices in the field of real estate full time.

I have found that friends and neighbours, although well intended, are the very first ones who put your decision making about your real estate into doubt. Conversations usually go like this “You are only listing it for x? Your house is worth way more than that.” This is a comment that is generally from a neighbour close by who is counting on the sale of your house raising the value of their own home. Remarks like this are usually not helpful to those who are making some of the most important financial decisions in their lives. Would you counsel your neighbour about other financial investments? Likely not, so perhaps avoid discussing your personal real estate business with your neighbours and friends is the best path.

I have said before that it makes more sense to actually speak to a well respected realtor who knows about the market in your area. This is where the advice of a friend or neighbour can be helpful, as they have some first hand experience.

Relying on what you read is perhaps unreliable as markets across Canada are divergent. For example, folks in Calgary, Edmonton and Fort McMurray are experiencing one kind of market that is currently affected by dramatic and sudden price adjustments in oil. This is affecting a variety of decisions for people in businesses in these communities, therefore employment, available income and a need to seek employment elsewhere. To suddenly see cash flow reduced affects other decisions.

In Ottawa our experience is different. Ottawa being a government town is deeply affected by budgets and elections. This period is no exception. It feels like many buyers are waiting on the fence until after the election to buy, thus creating stress, frustration and even disappointment for sellers.

If you are a frustrated seller I do hope that your realtor is in touch on a regular basis giving you accurate information that will help you make necessary decisions about managing the sale of your home.

Keeping a home listed in a sluggish market without changing the price in hopes of a positive outcome will only disappoint on so many fronts. If you are not really motivated to sell then it is unwise to leave your home on the market without changing the price as it then begins to develop a stigma. You want to avoid the circumstance that creates negative chatter about a property.

When you are searching for a realtor there are always many options. Don’t be fooled by bravado and a braggadocious attitude. Rather look for an agent whom you believe is looking after your interests, not using you as another feather in their cap. Identify someone who shares your same values, ethics and principals. This is critical in managing the sale of your asset. Trust is at the very core of this relationship and you never want to be in doubt of the information your agent is giving you.

When trying to select an agent some people go for price. In other words “Who is going to charge me the least amount of money to sell my home?” You should examine what the agent is offering you. What kind of exposure are you getting? How available are they? Do they have regular office hours to take phone calls to book appointments or is it an asserting service? Not all services are equal and not all agents perform on the same level.

When you do decide to sell your home it is always good to see at least three agents in order to get a real overview of the market. You don’t get your news from just one source so don’t rely on just one agent who can be very persuasive in the interview but will they deliver on all their promises?

Selling your home is more than just putting a sign out and taking pretty pictures.

Whatever you decide it is perhaps not a good idea to get locked into a contract for a long period of time. Do a shorter contract to see if there really is a fit. You can always renew it at the end of the contract.

I am always available to talk about real estate and enjoy doing so. I welcome the opportunity to talk about it in more detail over tea. So don’t be afraid to call. Until next time, enjoy the change in weather!

I have just completed a two day seminar and received a Luxury Property Certification from the Luxury Property Institute from the U.S. at a Toronto venue sponsored by Royal LePage and our Carriage Trade Luxury brand along with BMW Canada, Cutco Knives, a major house inspection network and a few others, and I must say it was a worthwhile experience that was filled with ideas.
The institute is an American organization where luxury real estate is a major industry with so many incredible destinations for purchasers for their primary or secondary home.
During the two days much was shared from agents selling luxury properties to celebrities and sports figures in L.A. Two major business players in Manhattan, Toronto, and beyond.
I absorbed much in a short time and look forward to incorporate many of these new practices into our busy and full Ottawa Luxury market.
I realized as we were reviewing a variety of lifestyles, that from early on I have been blessed with opportunities to live many different and exciting lifestyles. I realized that I have always enjoyed being on or very close to water since a small child and this has continued throughout my adult life.
I grew up in Burlington Ontario which is a beautiful waterfront community. I also lived in the Toronto beach area, right down on Queen’s Quay in Toronto overlooking Lake Ontario, as well as in Vancouver B.C. overlooking Coal Harbour as well as the bird sanctuary, Stanley Park and the Lion’s Gate Bridge. to a beautiful waterfront setting in Oakville Ontario, a charming property overlooking McKay Lake in Rockcliffe Park, a spectacular island property on Georgian Bay and finally to where my husband and I currently reside in the heart of the Nation’s Capital overlooking the ceremonial route along Sussex Drive with the Ottawa River and Gatineau hills as the backdrop.
I realized today that I must have an affinity for water.
I remember being in Cabos San Lucas and thinking that the geography was perfection; ocean, desert and mountains in a single destination. It was glorious.
I suppose that I have also experienced a variety of lifestyle living situations as well…from beautiful desert homes in Tucson Arizona to luxe condo living in several major Canadian centre’s as well as enjoying the great outdoors on an island in the Canadian Shield.
I have been very blessed and as a result I have seen so many spectacular homes and different lifestyles.
The Nation’s Capital offers a bounty of beautiful luxury properties with a variety of lifestyles from lazy waterfront vistas to exciting equestrian farms.
Exceptional Properties is here to represent and protect your equity, no matter what your real estate investment should be.
At Exceptional Properties we understand how to manage luxury real estate transactions and are committed to managing your investment and taking the very best of care of your asset.
