Why Buy a Home?

Two out of every three Canadian families own their own home that is one of the highest rates of home ownership in the world! This should not come as a surprise it’s an excellent investment.  With increasing house prices, it’s all the more important for first-time buyers to get a foot on the first rung of the property ladder.
Another interesting fact that you should be aware of…
Homeownership is the single largest source of savings for Canadian households.  Unlike other investments, which can be quite volatile, the increase in the value of homes is relatively steady.  The average house price in Canada has increased every year since 1998.  The return on your investment in your home can be substantial.  In 2004, the average house price in Canada rose to a record $227, 210 – a 9% increase in just one year and a 27% increase over four years.

Purchasing a home should be an exciting and painless process as your REALTOR I can create a profile outlining your desired price range, location and specific details like the number of bathrooms, bedrooms and fireplaces. For purchasers who are geographically focused, I can even search all active listings on a particular street and retrieve all relevant information including property description, a photograph, and assessed value.  Our internal MLS system updates nightly, listing all potential properties that meet your particular needs and automatically emailing them to you.
