Amblewood Village – Relaxed living in prime north end location

Advertising Feature by Jacquie Howardson

ocated in the former location of the Rutherford Golf Course – Amblewood Village offers privacy and a bit of the country right in the city. The Village location is surrounded by mature trees and has great views of the local mountains. The entire village is tastefully landscaped with welcoming arbours, river rocks and a collection of plants and flowers that add texture and colour to the perennial borders. Curving walkways, a feature pond and a central park area provide a focal and visiting point where residents can relax and meet new neighbours. There is an immediate feeling of community within this development of 63 townhouses and patio homes. Constructed by the local contracting firms, Windley Development and Silverwood Construction, these homes provide buyers with a quality project that has been built to exacting standards. The high degree of finishing is evident from the stylish exteriors to the designer inspired interiors. Buyers can purchase single or two level patio homes in a duplex or four-plex configuration. Each home offers privacy, individuality and a spacious patio for entertaining family and friends during the long and relaxing B.C. summers. The location is ideal and many amenities such as Oliver Wood Community Centre, Longwood Plaza, restaurants, shopping malls, schools, parks and pubs are very close by. There are no age restrictions at Amblewood Village so homebuyers can create a diverse community for all ages. Inside the stylish patio homes are 9 ft ceilings, some vaulted ceilings (depending on the floor plan), 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a den or family room. The kitchens are spacious with four stainless steel appliances, an island/eating bar and modern

cabinets complete with crown moldings. Prospective buyers will appreciate the fireplace, pre-wiring for flat screen T.V., skylights and “fool the eye” fabulous wood laminate flooring. This laminate product is durable, stylish and easy to clean – so homeowners can spend more time doing the things they really like to do. Fishing, boating, golfing, Island sightseeing or enjoying the company of family and friends are just some of those things. Of course, all the gardening, watering and out door maintenance is all taken care of as well.

Stainless appliances blend with classic cabinetry

Just move in and enjoy your stylish new home. Kitchens are offered in three very distinct styles in three different colours - a dark yet warm Tuscany, a medium warm coffee and a beautiful creamy white. The counter tops are selected to coordinate perfectly with the corresponding wood finish. There is an abundance of both countertops and kitchen cabinets and the open great room plan means that entertaining is effortless. Guests can visit, help the cook or simply enjoy the warmth of the fireplace. Master suites feature a spacious walk-in closet and the ensuites are sleek and classic with ultra-chic plumbing fixtures. All the homes are bright with lots of natural light. Paint colours are in classic warm sand tones. All colours have been professionally selected to create a warm and coordinated space that comes with window treatments already installed. Catering to a wide array of decorating styles - moving in is easy and creating the perfect home is a goal that is easy to attain. Square footage

ranges from 1170 sq ft – 1805 sq. ft with a price range from $245,900.00 to $369,900.00. For more information on this exciting new development give Sandy Harper of Remax of Nanaimo call at 250-751-1223. Come by the Open House every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for your personal tour.

REAL ESTATE IN A NUTSHELL PART 9

“THE PRICE IS RIGHT... WHAT’S NEXT?”

THIS WEEK’S FEATURE LISTING Very cozy split level home in Diver Lake. Almost 1/3 of an acre of lush green grass & beautiful established landscaping. 2 bedrooms plus den or family room & 1 bath. Idea for a couple or small family.

2466 JEANS WAY

By Victor Kiritchenko, MSc, MA a Realtor with RE/MAX of Nanaimo. victor-k@shaw.ca, parts 1-8 see on www.victor-k.com

250-713-5402

$299,900

Parts 1-8 (see at www.victor-k.com) explain how to ﬁnd the right (for you!) Realtor, learn about the REAL (not imaginary) market, determine the right price for your house and... what’s

101-375 NEWCASTLE

next? Now it’s time to list! Wait, but it’s fall now, don’t houses sell better in the spring? Again, maybe I’ll get more money then, right?

Asking $239,000 NO HST

Not necessarily... No one knows whether the market will be up or down next spring (if someone says he does, call him a liar!) plus you will be competing with tons of properties that come on the market then, while in the fall the inventory traditionally goes down so you get a better chance with motivated buyers.

#95-6325 METRAL

Houses are sold all year around, so you can call your Realtor to list your house at any time. Of course, after your house is ready.

5066 BANNING COURT Absolutely outstanding view lot in one of North Nanaimo’s nicest HALF ACRE OCEAN communities, Arbutus Rock, located off Vista View this nearly square lot is VIEW LOT ideal for an upscale rancher or level entry home with a walk out basement. The view looks across to the sunshine coast and coastal mountains. Asking Situated in a small gated subdivision this lot is perfect for your dream plans.

Only one suggestion – less is certainly more, both when pictures are taken and when your house is being shown to potential buyers. So remove as many items (from older pieces of furniture to countless souvenirs on shelves) as you can, and put them into storage (even your own garage).

$379,900

Speaking of pictures... we all know a good (!) picture is worth a thousand words, so make sure that the pictures taken of your HOUSE are not just good, but stunning!

Jenni

What to pay attention to while signing a listing agreement? We already talked about the listing price and listing commission in Parts 1-8. What else? Very important is the length of the listing. If it’s less than two months (theoretically it can be 24 hours), then your house will not get on the MLS, which is not a good idea at all. If the listing period is too long, then you might have a hard time getting rid of the Realtor whose performance you are not amazed with. Plus buyers will see something like “157 days on the market” on their computers, which isn’t good.

Sharman Park. Walking distance to shopping & Woodgrove Mall. Best price in the MH Park. 2 bedroom, 1 bath, large covered deck. Easy care yard with new gravel. Large kitchen. Move right in.

Asking $79,900

How to prepare your house for sale – it’s a separate topic and I can’t compete with countless websites advising on this.

(I personally am happy to spend thousands and thousands of dollars buying the best professional-grade camera and especially lenses to take pictures of my listings. Honestly, this is the favourite part of my job as a Realtor... please, don’t tell my wife or the tax guy!)

CLASSIC OCEANFRONT CONDO Across the street from the ocean and seawall promenade is this lovely 2 bdrm and a den suite. The very open plan is covered by windows for excellent lighting and reach out and touch harbour views. Freshly painted, new kitchen and lino. The gleaming oak ﬂoors are original and in great shape.

Welcome to Paradise

Luxurious West Coast Retreat

Theoretically you can reject a “for sale” sign, but it’s not a good idea at all. With all the modern computer stuff, a simple wooden post and “for sale” sign still help A LOT! If your house is on a busy corner – ask for two signs, one on each street. Some sellers are scared of lockboxes where the Realtor puts the key to your house so other Realtors can access it. Sure, in theory somebody could break this lockbox, but in reality it’s MUCH easier to break into the house itself, than into this very protected box. Your Realtor will ask if you want your house to be on the Realtor tour. Answer “yes, yes and yes!” So in a few days, tons of the best Realtors (of course, if you listed your house with the best company!) will walk through your house and hopefully later bring the right buyer. I can’t see any reason why NOT to put your house on the Realtor tour. It’s not so black and white about open houses. Some sellers prefer not to have them at all (“this is just for nosy neighbours!”), while others insist on having them every weekend. Just use common sense, listen to your Realtor and most importantly – to yourself. Whatever you feel about having open houses or not – is right! About showing times... yes, you can say something like “showings only on Wednesday and Saturday and I need at least 24 hours’ notice”, but it will reduce the chances of a sale dramatically. We have tons of out of town buyers, who are here for a day or two and sometimes (actually, pretty often) they buy on the spot... the houses they can get into on short notice. (By the way, think about it when choosing your Realtor. If it takes him/her a couple of hours or even days to call you back, what are the chances they will be quick responding to those “here and now!” buyers? What else is critically important? A lot of stuff, which is impossible to say in a limited space in the newspaper. But quite possible to say in an e-mail, over the phone, or during a meeting.

Feel free to call (directly) 250-713-5402 or e-mail victor-k@shaw.ca.

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.
