Preparing to Buy
You can be a smart consumer before you even start looking through real estate listings. A small investment of time and effort right at the start can pay tremendous dividends. You’ll save time, quite possibly some money, and you’ll likely be happier with the end product when you approach the home buying process as an informed and organized consumer.
So brush up on your real estate knowledge with all the tips, advice and facts you need to make informed choices as you embark on the path to home ownership:
Factors such as house cost, neighbourhood, lot size and special features play a big role in your decision. Determining which features your new house absolutely must have, and which features you could live without, is your first step in the home buying process. Learn more about determining needs and wants.
Before you embark on your house hunt, brush up on the broad categories of Canadian home ownership: freehold, condo and co-op. Which one meets your needs? It’s a decision that can impact your personal freedom, your finances and your responsibilities for the upkeep and repair of your dwelling. Knowing the one that’s right for you will save you time and help you narrow down your home search. Learn more about types of home ownership.
Supply and demand can vary widely across the nation, across provinces, and even across neighbourhoods. The ups and downs of your local housing market can affect how much bang you get for your buck. But whatever the state of the market, astute home buyers can tailor their buying strategy to take advantage of current market conditions. Learn more about buyer’s, seller’s and balanced markets.
Owning a home definitely has its advantages. With this primer on the benefits and joys of home ownership, you'll learn tips and incentives to help you get your foot on the first rung of the property ladder. Learn more about being a first-time home buyer.
During the home viewing and buying process, your real estate agent will act as your eyes, your ears and your voice. Feeling assured that you are receiving the best advice is paramount to making a real estate investment. That makes choosing the right agent for your needs a top priority. Learn more about choosing the agent that suits you best.
Agency law protects home buyers from conflicts of interest, and ensures your real estate agent serves you with integrity, confidentiality and loyalty. Brush up on the types of agency relationships, so you can select a real estate agent the smart way. Learn more about understanding agency in real estate.
