Carol Crabb
VICTORIA REAL ESTATE BOARD PRESIDENT
Season’s Greetings A Message from Victoria Real Estate Board President Carol Crabb On behalf of the REALTORS® of Greater Victoria, I wish you Happy Holidays and a prosperous year in 2013. Real estate continues to play a leading role in the economic vitality of our community and of our province. The Greater Victoria area real estate market began the year very similar to 2011, building to higher sales in May through July. In July, the federal government reduced maximum mortgage amortization periods to 25 years, resulting in a slower market for the balance of the year. Despite this, pricing has remained stable in most neighbourhoods. What will 2013 bring? All indicators are focused on stable pricing and level sales numbers. With our attractive climate, beautiful surroundings and a strong, diversified economy, the Victoria area will always be a destination of choice for people looking for a great place to live and work. This will mean continued demand for home ownership which is good news for both buyers and sellers. As REALTORS®, we are proud to serve your real estate needs. Whether you are considering buying, selling or leasing, we look forward to providing you with the highest level of professional real estate services in the coming year and beyond. Our best wishes for the holiday season, and may you and your families have a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Sincerely, Carol Crabb President President . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Carol Crabb President-Elect . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I am lonely and searching for the perfect mate! I am a good looking one bedroom condo in excellent physical condition and I am proudly positioned close to downtown. My trendy interior offers gorgeous dark cork floors and new open concept kitchen that connects to my living room by a stylish eating bar. I have had a professional facelift that opened my generous sized bedroom into the living room with sliding barn doors. Facing south lets in lots of sunlight that keeps me warm and loveable. My strata allows small pets including little dogs under 25lbs. I have been told more than once that I am very “cool”. If you are looking for a place to call home, contact my Realtor. She is ever so helpful and would be happy to arrange a private viewing. Her name is:

A number of different mortgage options are available. Under a conventional mortgage, lenders will loan you up to 75 per cent of the appraised value or purchase price of the property (whichever is lower) to a maximum set by government regulation and you must come up with the remaining 25 per cent yourself. If you don’t have the 25 per cent down payment, a high-ratio mortgage may be available that could provide most of the required funds. The proviso is that high-ratio mortgages must be insured and the cost falls to you. Check with your lending institution or mortgage broker to see whether you would be eligible for such a mortgage. Variable-rate mortgages are usually offered for both conventional and high-ratio mortgages. If interest rates climb, you will be paying more per month in interest; if rates drop, you will be paying more off your principal. Fixed-rate mortgages, on the other hand, maintain the same rate of interest over the entire negotiated term.
Examine Your Needs It is never too early to start considering where you would like to live and the type of house that best suits your needs. This is where a REALTOR®’s services prove invaluable. REALTORS® have access to the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) which is a co-operative listing system that offers maximum exposure of homes listed for sale. A REALTOR® can help you zero in on the type of home you want with a quick search on the computer. Once you have defined a few key parameters like price, location and number of bathrooms, a REALTOR® can provide you with a customized list to assist you in your search. Defining your focus is important because there are plenty of housing options available in the Greater Victoria area. You will have to choose the property that is right for you from among new houses, resale homes, townhouses and condominiums. A REALTOR® is a highly trained professional who can help you choose the one that best suits your current and projected lifestyle. A REALTOR® will accompany you as you view homes and provide you with all the pertinent information to make an informed decision. So, if you are ready for home ownership, now is a good time. Many Canadians would agree that owning a home is one of the best investments you can make and helps provide financial security for retirement.

CHATTELS AND FIXTURES: PUT IT IN WRITING BEFORE YOU SELL
f you are thinking of selling your home, have you given much thought to what you plan to leave with the home and what you would like to take with you, such as the washer and dryer, the fridge and stove, or even that heirloom chandelier in the dining room?

While these may not seem like important concerns right now, your failure to address them in your listing and the contract of purchase and sale could lead to a major misunderstanding with a potential buyer. The last thing you would want is the loss of a sale of your home due to a dispute or misunderstanding over a relatively minor item. A REALTOR will guide you through the listing process and will ask you what you want to include in the sale. It is a good idea, however, to make up a list before meeting with your REALTOR to ensure you do not forget something.
CHATTELS ARE NORMALLY REMOVED When chattels are included in the agreement, they must be listed in the contract of purchase and sale. It is fairly common practice for sellers to
include items, which would normally be considered as chattels, such as appliances and window coverings, in the selling price.
FIXTURES NORMALLY STAY A REALTOR will explain that fixtures are permanent improvements to a property which normally stay with the property as part of the sale. For example, if you have upgraded your wiring or heating system, these are considered to be permanent fixtures. Keep in mind, however, that the law is not always crystal clear about what constitutes a fixture. There are circumstances where you may plan to remove something that might ordinarily be considered a fixture — like your chandelier.
Other items to consider are lawn ornaments, smoke alarms, and built-in vacuum cleaners. These types of items are generally left with the home, but some people still like to take things with them. If you tend to be one of these people, clearly state in writing what WILL NOT be included in the sale. Most buyers would assume that these types of fixtures will be included in the sale unless you specify the contrary in the listing. It is absolutely necessary that you set out these stipulations in the contract of purchase and sale.
IF IN DOUBT? If there is any doubt about a particular item, your REALTOR will include it in the list of items to be included or excluded from the purchase price. That way, if there is any question, the situation has already been addressed. If you have any concerns, talk to your REALTOR. As a trained professional, he or she will be able to guide you smoothly through the selling process and answer any questions you may have.
