I have another home for sale in Brampton that’s just recently come on the market.  This 9 year old freehold townhouse is located at one of the most convenient locations in Brampton, right at Bovaird & Highway 410 behind Trinity Commons Mall.  I have included a sample of some of the stores and outlets that are accessible via a short walk to the plaza.

The home is being sold by the original owner, an elderly woman who has taken great pride in maintaining her home in stellar condition.  The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an optional cold cellar that was contracted with the builder during construction.  The main floor carries parquet flooring, while the second floor is laid in carpet that still feels brand new.  The backyard is very private and features a new deck built in 2007, a large gazebo to provide ample shade in the summer, maturing trees and a small garden.  The seller also had an entrance to the garage built in to the main hallway, giving plenty of convenient access from your car.

All along the front of the house you’ll find plenty of flowers and plant, as well as stamped patterned concrete to give it an extra boost of elegance.  The entire house also boasts a fresh new coat of paint.

The sale of the house also includes a fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, all the electrical light fixtures, all the window coverings, and the gazebo in the backyard.

If you’d like more information on this property or would like to see it, please give me a call or leave me a comment here.

I have another listing that just came on the market.  It’s a 4 year old Great Gulf Homes semi-detach by Wanless and Creditview.  This very popular floor plan boasts 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, all dark parquet flooring on the main level and the second floor.  The kitchen features upgraded cabinets, the main stairs are covered in Berber carpets, and the master bedroom comes with a walk-in closet and a 4-piece ensuite bathroom that includes an upgraded stand-up shower and a larger oval soaker tub.

One fantastic, but often overlooked feature of this home, is the solid concrete block wall that the builder uses to separate both homes.  This essentially soundproofs the house from the next neighbour.

The home also comes with a rough-in central vacuum system, a rough-in for a bathroom in the basement, and wiring for an alarm system.

The best feature of this home is that there is totally vacant fields in front of the house.  There is no slated development of the land, which provides an amazing, picturesque view of the sunset from the front porch.  The house sits on the top of the street circle, which means literally no cars parked on the street and a very quiet setting.  The neighbours are fantastic and overall the area is very serene.

The purchase of this house also includes the fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, all the blinds, and all the electrical light fixtures.

If you’d like more information on this property or would like to book a showing, please email me or leave me a comment here.

I have another fantastic listing in Brampton available for purchase.  This is a Daniel’s built freehold townhouse, which means there are no monthly maintenance fees.  The townhouses were built in approximately 1995, and this particular property is being sold by the original owners.  The house has been maintained in absolutely perfect condition – it’s never been subjected to any abuse, any pets, any kids, or any parties.  It’s a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom beauty that has seen a number of recent renovations to keep it brand new.

A new high quality roof was installed in 2009 by Home Depot with a 10 year warranty.  The air conditioner has been upgraded to a Carrier, the central vacuum is a Beam.  The kitchen cabinets have been upgraded and a new HVAC furnace was installed in 2006 with a 10 year warranty.  A ventilator unit sits in the basement to constantly pump fresh air into the house.  A new washer and dryer was installed in 2008 along with a new fridge in the kitchen.  A brand new aluminum garage door was installed in 2005 with a 10 year warranty.

The best part about this property is the backyard, where the owners planted a tree when they first occupied the house.  15 years later, the backyard is the only one in the neighbourhood to enjoy the ample shade of the mature tree in the backyard, providing lots of shade during hot summer days.

The home is super close to Highway 410, the new Brampton hospital, a fitness and wellness centre, plazas, shopping, and public transportation.

Hi everyone

Although I do most of my real estate work in Brampton, I also get many listings in the surrounding areas such as Mississauga, Milton, and Toronto.  I’ve been contemplating over the last few weeks on whether or not it would be appropriate to market these listings on this site.  And although this site is known as the Brampton Real Estate Blog, I think it would be a disservice to my clients outside of Brampton if I didn’t utilize every tool at my disposal to help them get their homes sold.  So I’m going to start introducing other listings I have on this site, and hopefully it won’t cause too much confusion.

So without further delay, I’d like to present a lovely detached home in Mississauga in the well-sought after Applewood neighbourhood.  This home has been completely renovated and boasts a brand new kitchen, new flooring throughout, a new roof, new and updated bathrooms, and fresh coats of new paint.  The home is a 4 level backsplit with 4 bedrooms.  It also has a 1 bedroom basement apartment with it’s own separate entrance.

The great thing about this house is the location.  It’s simply steps to several nearby schools and public transit.  You’re also going to enjoy the convenience of shopping and retail outlets that are close by, as well as city parks to enjoy.  If you’re interested in seeing this property or obtaining more information, just leave me a comment here!

Hi everyone

I will be starting a new weekly segment on my blog called the Brampton Real Estate Recap, where I will be summarizing some of the most common questions I received from my buyers, sellers, or readers from this blog.  Most of these questions are quite relevant to how the Brampton real estate market is doing and the common issues that clients are facing when buying or selling.

If any of you have any questions you’d like to have answered and possibly featured here in an upcoming article, I invite you to join my Brampton Real Estate Message Board.  It’s free to sign up, and you’re encouraged to post your thoughts, questions, or suggestions about anything.  I’ll post any helpful or interesting questions here every week.

And now, without further delay, here are my top real estate questions of the week:

What does “sold conditionally” mean?  Can I still see the house?

When an offer is accepted between a buyer and a seller, the offer is considered only sold conditional.  Typically, in the sale of a home, the buyers will have 5 business days to arrange financing with their bank and have a home inspector visit the home to ensure that there are no major defects with the house.  If the sale involves a condo apartment or townhouse, the buyers will have 5 business days to arrange financing with their bank and typically 2 business days to have their lawyers review the status certificate from the condo corporation.  Whether it’s a house or a condo, if both of these conditions are fulfilled, the deal is then able to go firm.

During the conditional period, sellers have the option of continuing to allow prospective buyers to view the property or suspending showings altogether.

What is a status certificate?

I’ve written a previous article about this here, but in summary, a status certificate is a report that is ordered by the seller upon acceptance of an offer and provided to the buyer for review.  This report outlines important information, such as the condo corporation by-laws, how much money is in the reserve fund, the current budget, how much maintenance fees are and whether they are predicted to increase or remain the same, potential claims against the corporation, and other financial information.  The buyer’s lawyer will review this status certificate and determine whether or not the condo corporation is healthy or not, and if it is, the buyer will be advised to proceed with the purchase.

What should I expect if I’m a buyer in this market?

Despite the fact that Brampton is one of the busiest real estate areas in the GTA, inventory of good homes are still low.  This has created a hot sellers market, and buyers who eventually find a suitable home find themselves competing in a multiple offer scenario with other buyers.  Many homes are selling close to listing price, and a handful are selling above listing price.  If you are in the market of buying a home, be prepared to submit an offer on the same day you find the right home, provided the sellers are accepting offers.  If you wait even a day or two, it may be too late.

I heard I’ll need a 10% down payment after April.  Is this true?

If you’re purchasing a resale home to live in, you will still be able to purchase with just 5% down.  The only change in mortgage rules is for buyers who will be purchasing rental income properties that they won’t be occupying, and if that is the case, they’ll be required to put 20% down.

Will I have to pay HST on the purchase of my home?

If you’re buying a new home, read my article here.  If you’re buying a resale home, all taxes are already included in the purchase price!  You will, however, be paying HST on such services as your legal fees, home inspection, and other real estate related services.

** July 18, 2010 – UPDATE: This community has now been SOLD OUT**

2. An additional $2,500 10 days after purchasing the home

New Mortgage Rules You Need To Know

Hi everyone

By now you’ve probably heard or read in the news that the federal government is making changes to mortgage rules to ensure that Canadians don’t take on more debt.  There is a lot of confusion regarding whether or not buyers will be required to provide a larger down payment or have to meet stricter qualifications.  So what are these changes and how do they affect you?

There are 3 major changes you’ll need to know about:

1. Qualifying at a 5 year rate
   All borrowers will be required to meet the standards for a five-year fixed rate mortgage even if they choose a mortgage with a lower interest rate and shorter terms.
   
   
2. Refinancing limited to 90% of the loan-to-value ratio
   Currently, borrowers are able to refinance their mortgage up to 95% of the property value.  This amount has now been reduced to 90%, in order to help homeowners maintain equity in their home.
3. Minimum 20% down payment required on non-owner-occupied properties
   A 20% down payment will now be required for small (ex. 1 – 4 unit) residential rental properties if the owner does not occupy the property.  If the owner intends to live on the property (ie. a rental property), they will still be able to purchase the property with only 5% down.

These changes will go into effect on April 19, 2010.

For more details, visit my thread on my message board.

Buying a home in Brampton with no money down

If you’re thinking of buying a home in Brampton soon and are worried about coming up with a down payment, there is still a zero down mortgage program available for you to explore. Essentially, what you would be getting is a cash back from the lender that you would apply as your down payment.

This mortgage program is a lifesaver for those who want to take advantage of the low interest rates and brisk real estate market in Brampton, but don’t have enough cash in the bank as a down payment.  The interest rate will not be as low as a regular mortgage with 5% down, but it does get home buyers into a position where they can own their own home at an affordable monthly mortgage payment.

Here are some quick details:

• A minimum of 650 credit score is required
• Maximum cash back from this program is $25,000
• Amortization is 35 years
• Mortgage is calculated on a 5 year at the posted rate (currently 5.39%)

If you’re currently renting and am considering owning a home, but don’t have the cash for a down payment, this program may be for you.  Don’t let this strong Brampton real estate market pass you by!

For more details, visit my thread on my message board.  If you would like to see if you can qualify for this mortgage program, leave me a comment here or email me!

Well, here’s the first of many videos to come.  I’ve been meaning to start video blogging for a long time now, but I’ve always preferred text for many reasons.  Some future topics will include buying and selling strategies, Brampton related stories, and other community information.

I welcome any comments, good or bad!  In the meantime, if anyone has any real estate topics they’d like covered, I’ll be glad to throw together a video.  And I promise to shave for the next video.
