New Listing: 11 KESLER AVE.

Posted by Mary Caird under For Buyers, Listings

Check out this new Single-family property that I just posted on my Web site. It is at 11 KESLER AVE. in Ottawa. This Single-family property has 8 bedrooms and 4 baths.

Psssssssssssst….keep this to yourself.

Asking $354,900, 605 Blanchard is a gorgeous 3 bedroom bungalow with fireplace and finished basement that has made my hot list for a number of obvious reason that include:  vacant and available for immediate possession, well located in desireable Mooney’s Bay (a 5 minute drive to the core) and because it offers excellent value for the size, layout and features.

Asking $274900, 292 Glynn is a stunning 2 storey 3 bedroom that is also available immediateLY and has been totally updated from top to bottom.  This gem features new bathrooms, kitchen, electrical, insulation, foundation wrap, and THE LIST GOES ON.  The best part; it is priced slightly above outdated semi detatched homes on the street and well below local in-fill townhomes that have considerably less to offer in square footage not to mention the 2 car garage that is quite rare for the area.  Now that’s a great deal and one that I would highly recommend.

Make an appointment to view these homes today before they’re GOING, GOING, SOLD! 

Just two months ago Warren Buffett was quoted as having said, “You should be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.”  Do multi-billionaires know a little something about growing and sustaining wealth; I should say so.  Mr. Buffet also said, “Derivatives (mortgage backed securities) are the financial world’s equivalent of weapons of mass destruction.” 

Despite our displeasure and finger pointing at the Bush administration, it would appear that the greedy, fiscally irresponsible financial institutions are most to blame for the global economic downturn spurred on by the American housing crunch.  The scoundrels have really outdone themselves this time.  While simultaneously absconding and squandering trillions of dollars, they have managed to take a wholesome, solid and viable investment called real estate which we previously trusted, and turned it into something dangerous and scary. 

Here in Canada we do not have the same high ratio of sub-prime mortgages to echo ten fold into the financial abyss.  Smart money does not stand still.  It is choosing a safe zone which is right here in the Nations Capital. The Ottawa Real Estate Market is the top pick for preferred growth patterns which are steady and reliable.  After all, the baby boomers are not prepared to take alot more chances with their retirement nest eggs and our conservative mentality, suits them just fine.  We have proved to be a quasi-recession proof economy in the past and our growing population of well educated, fully employed, service oriented labour force is government backed for added security.

What’s in a word? $700 billion…. who needs it?  Who will miss it?

When I was young, my favourite subject in school was recess.  It was a time to “take a break” from the heady studies of the day and grab some fresh air.  Ah, such is not the way of the media who tell us that change is sensational and scary.

If the newspapers can cause a self-fufilling prophesy (say we are in a recession and its true), then what are they not telling us.  Fact: yesterdays political announcement for government to let the banks dig their own way out of pending fiscal disaster, caused a corresponding reaction in the stockmarkets.  But why do we view the threat of recessions as a black eye and bloody nose to the entire economy.  And why are we surprised to learn that history repeats itself unless a chain is broken. 

Having sold real estate for 25 years, I have seen many a market fluctuation.  I recognize the signs and have learned what to look for….consumers over extended, banks not lending to each other, government unwilling/unable to help, investors nervous, line of credits called in, small businesses loose their ability to operate with small profit margins, jobs are lost, cash is king…..We may very well be headed in that direction but be mindful that what goes up must come down or at least soften.  What is even more important is to remember that when money is lost, it is usually found, sadly by a few savvy investers who have the foresight to swim upstream rather than jump off the cliff with the other lemings.  The rich do get richer and I’ll say, hardworking, smart people create their own opportunities.  Often, the back to basics mentality will also win out and those who get resourceful become the nouveau riche.  So what does all this mean to the Ottawa Real Estate Market and the local home owner?  Find out how your property is currently affected.  For tried and true yet up to the minute, real estate advice on how to recession proof your real estate portfolio and personal residence, call Mary for a free consultation and market evaluation.

Today marks the first day back to school for English kiddies, as was last Tuesday for all our French speaking darlings.  This year, Ottawantonians were treated to some much-awaited warm and sunny weather that is giving us hope for an Indian summer??? Let’s all keep our fingers crossed.  Nevertheless, you may be wishing for more time to spend with the kids at the park, beach, cottage, feeding the ducks or whatever you enjoy to do as a family on your precous days off, but its back to business for all who are so compelled. 

As is often the case, we see the Ottawa Real Estate Market typically slows down in the month of August as those on summer holidays slack off.  Consequently, this eager Realtor finds herself overjoyed to see things pick up when clients are looking to move around prior to Christmas.  Please don’t hesitate to call and book your Free Market Evaluation or Home Buying Consultation that will save your family time and money.

If you weren’t aware of the latest trend in New Home Construction, you’ll be happy to know that it has something to do with saving the environment and your pocket book.

For about one and a half years now, local builder’s like Valecraft, Richcraft, Minto and Mattamy, been offering a package called “Energy Star” Program.  At a cost of approximately $7,000, homeowners are createing significant savings on future utility bills.  After conducting my personal pole of the New Home Sales Representatives, I have been told that a growing majority (infact over 70% of New Home Buyers) are opting to invest in an energy efficient home. 

If you have an existing home that requires upgrading, do not replace a thing without Contact Mary directly. Even a toilet replacement could be worth $100.00 and a furnace, $1,000 REBATE. I have a list of items to consider and government approved Energy Auditors who are qualified to show you how much FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL GRANTS ($$$$$$$$$) you qualify for.   Making cost effective upgrades is the key to investing wisely.  In fact, I am frequently asked to make a housecall and give my professional advice on renovations that will net maximum returns on resale.  I would be happy to do the same for you, without obligation.  Don’t waste your valuable time and money…get the facts.  

The “Energy Star” program for New Homes and approved upgrades to resale homes are definitely improvements that I would recommend.  I believe energy ratings are a trend that has been largely neglected and will soon be of paramount importance to consumers and the Real Estate community during the marketing process.  Its important changes like this, that fuel my commitment to remain on the cutting edge of technology and what’s happening in the Ottawa Real Estate Market..just doing my part to bring about positive change that will improve the lives of both the Canadian public and the environment.  I LOVE MY JOB.

ICF stands for Insulated Concrete Forms; an alternative to frame construction.

When it comes to supplying a superior ICF , Nudura from Barrie, Ontario has been saving energy for home owners worldwide for years now.  This privately owned company with service that can’t be beat has been growing at a steady pace. 

The current limitations of wooden framing is proving to be an outdated approach.  Today’s savy consumers are not simply concerned with style and functionality but also the environment when building a cost effective, energy efficient home.  My best suggestion is do the math and way all your options.  Bottom line is spend marginally more up front and save big on future utility costs.

Unique Ideas: Thinking of installing a pool.  At an affordable price, you can build a backyard inground pool with Insulated Concrete blocks and heat your pool just once.  It does not loose heat into the ground over night like current technology found in standard concrete or fiberglass.  The only question is what are you waiting for and what will you do with your savings?  For more information, contact Mary Caird directly. 613-797-1010

REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS ARE POISED TO COMPLY WITH NEW RULES AND REGS. 

A transaction is an Agreement of Purchase and Sale.  An attempted transaction is an offer.  Therefore, as a Professional Realtor, you need to complete this form by the offer stage regardless of whether or not your offer becomes a deal.   You need to see a valid original piece of government issued ID.  A photocopy or a scanned version is not sufficient.  You must personally see the original document.  Valid ID would be a current driver’s license, a current passport, a record of landing (landed immigrants), a permanent residence card, old age security card, a certificate of Indian status or a Social Insurance Number card (if you are using a SIN card for ID, do not record the SIN number).  You cannot use an OHIP card for ID (illegal in Ontario to use OHIP card for any purpose other than medical).   Complete the document fully.  Some documents will not have an expiry date (i.e. a SIN card or birth certificate) so this section would be “N/A” in these circumstances.  Passports, driver’s licenses, etc. do have expiry dates so ensure you record this information in these circumstances and also double check to ensure the document is currently valid (not expired).   If you are dealing with an estate or a power of attorney, complete the form for the individuals signing the offer or agreement.  You do not need to complete the form for the beneficiaries of the estate or the principal who gave the power of attorney at this time (this requirement may change).   Buyers and Deposits   If you are representing the Buyer(s) as either clients or customers and they are giving a deposit with respect to an offer or an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, you must complete a “Receipt of Funds Record”.  You keep this form and turn it in with your other paperwork.  Every time you receive a deposit from a buyer you represent as a client or as a customer you complete this form.  Therefore, if you receive an initial deposit and then a subsequent deposit, you will complete two forms.  You do not give this form to the listing brokerage when you pass over the deposit.    Complete the Receipt of Funds Record fully.  However, for Section 3, do the following:  * Number of Account:        Unknown - Accounting Department to verify if possible * Type of Account:            Trust Account * Name of account holder:    (insert name of listing brokerage) Since it is your obligation to complete this form when you are representing buyers, you cannot have your buyers drop off the cheque at the listing office (unless the listing office is your office, of course).   When you are dealing with a client you cannot personally see (out of city/province, foreign clients, etc.), you cannot personally view their ID.  Therefore, you must contract with someone (called a “mandatary”) where the client is to verify the ID on your behalf.  In many cases you may choose a salesperson in the jurisdiction where the client is to do this.  Alternatively, you may have to have it done by a solicitor or a notary, etc.  In some circumstances, you may need your client to put you in touch with an individual who can provide this service.  In some circumstances, you will have to pay the mandatary.  Regardless, you must have a written agreement that the mandatary will perform this service for you.  CREA is drafting a sample agreement and we will forward it to you when it becomes available.  In the interim, please speak to your manager before doing a transaction with non-present clients.   It does not matter if the client is known to you (she could be your mother, for example).  If the client is not present, a mandatary must complete the form on your behalf.   If you have clients you know will be leaving town for any reason (move, vacation, business, etc.), it would be advisable to complete the form when you have the opportunity and not wait for an offer.   Corporations   If your client is a corporation, you have thirty days from the date of the transaction to complete the “Corporation/Other Entity Client Information Record”.  Other entities would be partnerships, associations, churches, etc.  In most circumstances, you will likely get the required information from the corporation’s solicitor.  If neither the solicitor nor the client can provide you with the information, you may have to pay to have a corporations search done.   Suspicious Transactions   You must always report suspicious transactions or attempted transactions.  For example, you attend for a listing presentation and believe, from your experience and the condition of the property, that the property may have been a grow house.  If you have questions about a real situation, please speak to your manager.   Regardless of whether or not you are suspicious, if you receive a cash deposit or cash deposits that exceed $10,000 in cash (that is, you are receiving currency, not a cheque, etc.), this transaction must be reported.   In either case, you must not advise the individual that you will be making a report.   Uncooperative Clients/ Customers   If you are dealing with someone who refuses to provide you with ID, such as a FSBO seller, you can still proceed with the transaction.  However, you must proceed with caution.  You are required to make reasonable attempts to ID the individual and you must record the attempts you made and that the individual refused.  You must also now consider if the circumstances are suspicious.   Privacy Law   These new FINTRAC requirements do not eliminate our Privacy Policy or our obligations under PIPEDA (the privacy law statute).  Essentially, we are required to keep the information secure and confidential, we are permitted to use it only for the stated purpose and we must destroy the information when we no longer have a legal purpose for retaining it.  Therefore, if you record buyers or sellers ID information at the time of signing a listing or buyer representation agreement and no offer is ever received or submitted, the ID information should be destroyed when holdover period for the listing or buyer agreement has expired.   We are required to keep our records for 5 years to comply with FINTRAC.  Please submit your original document with your other deal paperwork (if you have an offer but no deal occurs, you must submit it as an attempted transaction).  View the information online through REALTORlink.  There is a fair amount of confusion surrounding the application of FINTRAC, even amongst CREA and OREA.  More information to follow.

If you haven’t picked up your copy of this month’s Homes and Lands Magazine, you won’t want to miss this month’s edition with yours truly on the front cover.  My two page spread on the inside makes a splash you won’t forget.  Highlights include: testimonials from VIP clients who share their story of recently sales, my irresistible new promotion “BUY, SELL OR REFER WITH ME AND TRAVEL FREE” as well as, Hot New Listings you’ll want to view .  To book an appointment to view any of my listings or other MLS properties or for your FREE Ottawa Real Estate Market Update to find out what your home is worth … don’t delay.  Call today. 

The sound of melting ice trickling in the eavestroughs is music to this realtor’s ears.   Its not just the lawn signs that need straightening and the updated “pix sans snow” that marks the start of the season, but also a flurry of incoming calls that has us rushing around with a renewed sense of urgency. 

For all the Sellers that ask me…”when is the best time to sell?”, I say “yella” which is arabic for let’s go.  There is no time like the present.  All the milliatary postings and corporate transfers are being issued as we close in on the 60 day escrow period that makes the end of June the biggest closing date of the year.  Not to mention, the local people who are looking to re-establish by the start of September’s school year.  In stark contrast, the lazy hazy summer months can be sketchy in terms of the real estate market, due to the fact that most Ottawantonians spending their well deserved R & R at the cottage or at least sipping a cool beverage on a patio.

For a confidential consultation to review your options, feel free to call and remember my irresistible offer “BUY, SELL OR REFER WITH ME AND TRAVEL FREE”.
