Weekend Real Estate Reading

March 29, 2008 · Filed Under Real Estate Articles 

With lots of great Real Estate Blog’s on the internet it’s hard to read them all. I have compiled a list of interesting topics from a few of the blogs I read daily.

Toronto Real Estate (Real Estate Intelligence) has an interesting article on how long should it take to sell your home?

Norm Fisher’s Saskatoon Real Estate Blog discusses CREA’s report on a slowdown of MLS sale’s nationally. It’s a little contradictory to our local real estate market, but remember the report is from all major cities across Canada. They peaked in home sales earlier then Newfoundland.

A common situation occurs during a real estate transaction when a fireplace, which was “thought” to be attached, was actually a removable, often times an electric fireplace. Edmonton’s Real Estate Blogger’s Sara MacLennan and Sheldon Johnston write about how not to get burned with removable fireplaces.

Did you sell your home and move in 2007? Can you claim all or a portion of your move on your income tax return? Well Mark Argentino from Mississauga fills in the blanks about the possibility of your moving expenses being tax deductible.

A common question we as Realtors are asked, is when is the best time of year to buy or sell real estate? Collingwood Blue Mountain Real Estate will give you the inside track for consideration.

It pays going green…..even on your mortgage. Canadian Mortgage Trends writes about how being environmentally friendly can save you money on your mortgage

A daily dose from Montreal includes a compiled list of headlines discussing a Canadian Credit Crunch

Have a super weekend!

    good reading! the best time in vancouver to sell real estate is march to june. statistically, sellers get the highest price then. the best time to buy used to be november/december but with the seller’s market we’ve recently been experiencing that doesn’t seem to work any more. so the best time to buy is when the time is right for you.
