REAL ESTATE IN A NUTSHELL PART 8

“THE PRICE IS… WRONG!” By Victor Kiritchenko, MSc, MA

HST - HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR HOME PURCHASE The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1. The provincial and federal governments combined the 7% provincial sales tax (PST) and the 5% federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) into the 12% HST. Some of the transition rules can be quite confusing, so talk to your REALTOR® about the speci¿cs of your situation. In the meantime, we hope the following will help you understand the basics of what is, and what is not, subject to the new tax and how it affects your home purchase. First and foremost, it is important to note that the HST applies to new homes. It does not apply to resale homes. New Housing Rebate You may be eligible for a provincial New Housing Rebate if you buy, as your primary residence: •

a new home together with land;

•

a new home together with leased land;

•

a new mobile home or Àoat home;

•

a new home purchased through shares in a housing cooperative; or

•

a home constructed or substantially renovated (more than 90%) by the owner-builder.

Buyers of new homes are eligible for a rebate of 71.43% of the provincial portion (7% of the HST’s 12%) of the HST paid on the new home up to a maximum rebate of $26,250. Homes priced at more than $525,000 are eligible for a Àat rebate of $26,250. This rebate is limited to primary residences. Recreational property not used as a primary residence does not qualify. If you buy a presale property and the agreement is dated on or before November 18, 2009 and you take ownership or possession after July 1, 2010, you will not pay the HST and will not be eligible for a New Housing Rebate. You will pay the GST. If the agreement is dated after November 18, 2009 and you take ownership or possession after July 1, 2010, you will pay the HST and may be eligible for the New Housing Rebate. Buying either a new or a resale home The 12% HST is now charged on a range of goods and services including: • home renovations; • energy ef¿cient appliances, insulation, windows and doors; • heating and electricity bills, telephone, cable; • closing costs such as appraisals and inspections; • moving costs; and • REALTOR® fees or commissions – note that the HST will apply to REALTOR® services performed on or after July 1, 2010. If 90% or more of the services were performed before July 1, 2010, the HST will not apply. The HST is not the PTT The Property Transfer Tax (PTT) is a separate provincial tax on all property transfers. The rate is 1% on the ¿rst $200,000 and 2% on the remainder of the fair market value of the property (usually the property price) before the GST/HST is applied. This article was prepared on behalf of the REALTORS® of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board for the information and bene¿t of consumers. Visit www.vireb.com for more information.

250-713-5402 Did you know how easy it is to know what your house is really worth? One of the books for Realtors (maybe the most worthless books I’ve ever seen!) says something like: “Find out how much a house (which is almost identical to yours) was recently sold for and make some adjustments: let’s say, add $10,000 if your house has an extra bedroom or deduct $5,000 if you have a single garage versus a double garage in the other house.” Unfortunately, this book doesn’t say how to find an identical house (unless it’s one of those “twin” units in a strata complex) and explain what price tag to put on different features. Let’s say, for you an ocean view is worth an extra $50,000, for me – hardly anything and I know a retired sailor, who would pay extra NOT to see water from his window. For some people a bigger lot is a blessing and for some – nothing but extra chores and headaches. And so on and so forth… But let’s say we found an absolutely identical house and put the same listing price on it – will it guarantee a sale? Absolutely not, now we have to find… an identical buyer, with the same taste, budget, timing, etc. (Yes, I know about that “novelty” – special software, which supposedly helps you find a market value for different properties. Please, don’t tell anybody, but it’s nothing more than a calculator, which finds out the average of more or less similar properties, sold recently, which you put into your computer). Fortunately, Realtors don’t rely on those “smart” books and very seldom get that “magic” software, instead using much a smarter, common sense based approach. So should you! Don’t base your opinion on something like: “My neighbor is asking $400,000, but my house is much nicer inside, so it must be worth at least $425,000!” First of all, that house has not sold yet and the second – you are VERY biased, noticing advantages of your house and playing down what is better in the neighbor’s. Yes, we all are very biased and I always say (as a joke, but with huge part of truth in it): - Ask yourself what you honestly believe your house is worth… and then deduct 10% from that amount to find out what it’s really worth! (Everyone laughs at this joke and agrees that it certainly applies to their friends and neighbours, who overprice by exactly 10%, but not to themselves, because they are very realistic. You are not!!! Neither am I… when it comes to MY house… or my car, etc.) So most likely you over-evaluate your house and push a Realtor to list it at your price, saying something like “I can always go down, but can’t go up, right?” Wrong! If your house is overpriced in the first place, both buyers and other Realtors will still remember it as “that house they are asking too much for” and it will stay in their memory for a long time after you reduce the price once, twice, or even three times. Plus, eventually it will bring about another question – why hasn’t it sold after so many days, maybe there is something wrong with it? Not to mention that a few price reductions will give the buyer the idea that you are desperate to sell, which in turn will invite a low offer. Price it right in the first place! How? It doesn’t cost you anything to invite 2-3-4 Realtors, ask their opinion, ignore the lowest and highest prices and go with the average of the rest. At the same time you will form your opinion about these Realtors themselves, and as I said in Part 1 - “listen to yourself” (see at www.victor-k.com), your gut feeling is usually right. Go with the person you like the most. Should you take into consideration how much commission he/she charges? No! Read Part 2 at www.victor-k.com to find out why. Have you heard this saying? If your house doesn’t sell, there are three reasons for it: a. price; b. price; c.... you got it... it’s the price, which, as another saying says, fixes everything. Questions? Call 250-713-5402 or e-mail victor-k@shaw.ca. OR EVEN BETTER... COME TO SEE AND TALK TO VICTOR AT OPEN HOUSE THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1 PM- 3 PM AT 2775 TRANSTIDE DR. (OFF FLORENCE DR, OFF POWDER POINT RD. IN NANOOSE ). NICE HOUSE, BY THE WAY, ON 2,5 ACRES, WITH THE SUITE, SHOP, HANGAR, ETC. (SEE MORE ON WWW.VICTOR-K.COM)
