t’s hard to believe that summer is coming to an end, but the falling leaves and temperatures prove that autumn is right around the corner. And while you may not want to admit it quite yet, this also means that winter is not too far off either. Now is the time to think about a regular home-maintenance schedule to keep your home looking and working great in any weather and for many years to come. TD Insurance offers a few tips that can save you some headaches and money come spring! Before winter blows in, you’ll want to check:
Your autumn
to-do LiSt
» Gutters: Clear the gutters of leaves and debris, install gutter guards and ensure your attic is well-ventilated to prevent ice damming and resulting damage. » Pipes: Ensure all pipes near the exterior of your home are well insulated to prevent freezing and cracking. Protect exposed pipes with insulation sleeves. » Roof and walls: Make sure roof shingles are securely fastened and repair cracks in masonry. This will prevent water from getting between the bricks, expanding as it freezes and causing larger cracks. » Interior hot spots: Ensure proper ventilation when using fireplaces, stoves or space heaters. Keep flammables away from heat sources and don’t overload electric circuits. Have your heating system serviced. As a general rule, furnaces, boilers and chimneys should be serviced once a year to prevent fire and smoke damage. And always make sure you have functioning smoke detectors. » Flooding: Shovel snow away from the house, especially basement windows. Ensure melting snow is draining away from the building. If you’re not comfortable doing the maintenance yourself, hire a professional. With your home all bundled up, you can enjoy the colours of the season without a worry of what’s to come.

What’s available and What it Costs
Within the City of Toronto, sales through the Toronto MLS system rose 19 per cent on a year-over-year basis during the first half of August to 1,164. New listings were also up, but by a lesser annual rate of 10 per cent. “Sales were up in the City of Toronto for most major home types in the lowrise and highrise market segments. This suggests that a diversity of buyers were driving sales, from first-time buyers through to existing homeowners looking to change their housing situation,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). 12
The average selling price for sales during the first half of August was $507,288. This represents a year-over-year increase of one per cent in comparison to the same period in 2012. “The annual rate of price growth can be volatile on a month-to-month basis, but with market conditions remaining tight, especially for lowrise home types, the expectation is that above-inflation price growth will remain the norm through the end of 2013,” Mercer notes.

Moving day etiquette DOs & DON’Ts of getting out & in b y Da n H o p k i n s
E
ven at the best of times, moving day can be stressful for everyone involved. A move involves trucks, boxes, packing materials, workers, and a certain amount of organized chaos. And as with any major event, preparation is key. There are certain things to do on moving day to make things go as smoothly as possible. The first is to be sure to bring your manners with you. Think of the following tips as “moving etiquette.” » Let your neighbours at both ends know when to expect the movers to pull into your place. Ensure that the movers park and unload to avoid blocking anyone else’s driveway or trespassing on other property while items are being carried into or out of your place. It is important to respect your neighbours’ privacy and property. » If you are booking a residential move and have the choice, select 9 or 10 a.m. for your truck to arrive. This is a time when people who work the 9-to-5 shift are not at home, and you are less likely to cause them any inconvenience. » In you’re moving out of or into an apartment or condo home, it seems that everyone wants to move at the same time, but this can tie up the elevators and make it impossible for residents to come and go, so instead of chaos, the property management company will book a block of time

for you to move. Book the elevators well in advance – in both the building you are leaving and the building you will be moving into – so that you can have the benefit of arranging your time comfortably. You should also check to see if movers are restricted to using specific doors. Sometimes there are service areas to use for moving so that the rest of the residents aren’t disturbed or inconvenienced, or to accommodate large, heavy pieces of furniture. » Make arrangements for your pets to be cared for elsewhere during the move. The very nature of a move means that doors will be open for long periods of time, and having animals wandering in and out can be dangerous for them and for those carrying your belongings. » If the movers are playing a radio, ask them to keep the volume down to avoid bothering small children or elderly neighbours who may want peace and quiet. » The physical nature of moving means that your movers will get thirsty and hungry. Although it is not necessary, offering cool drinks and some snacks is always greatly appreciated. Cold water and pop during the summer, or coffee and hot chocolate in the winter can go a long way to keeping movers refreshed and energized. » Most people wonder about whether to tip movers. Tipping is not compulsory in our industry, so it is totally up to you. If you feel your moving crew has done an exemplary job, by all means, show your appreciation that way. Whether or not you tip, you should expect excellent service.
» As items are moved out of rooms, take advantage of the opportunity to sweep, mop and clean what you can. Think about how you would like to find the place you are moving into and act accordingly. Some people hire cleaners to come in and work their magic before turning in the keys over to the landlord or the new owners. » Keep your cool. By moving day, you are likely to be tired and worried about all your items arriving at your destination without any damage. So, it’s all about common courtesy – treating others the way you would like to be treated – and it works both ways. That’s why at Two Men and a Truck– Canada, we follow “The Grandma Rule.” We treat everyone the way we would want our grandmothers to be treated, and we appreciate clients who do the same in return.
» Most moving companies are good about removing packing materials, crates, boxes, etc. when they leave. If anything is left behind, collect it yourself and dispose of it.

There have been 10 sales of properties advertised as ‘licensed’ for rental sold on the KWAR MLS® from January 1, 2012 until December 31, 2012 9 had an available sales history Two outliers were omitted from the study. One which achieved well above average return, and one which achieved well below average return Of the seven properties analyzed, an average return on investment (ROI) of 7.81% per year was found. The average return after 5 years is 39.05% Imagine you purchase a $400,000 property with $100,000, and a mortgage of $300,000. Using the average of 39.05%, the ROI is $156,200 Your mortgage will also be paid down $39,000 using a 3.9% rate with 5 year term and 25 year Amortization This leaves you a total return on your investment of $195,200 PLUS your initial $100,000 investment+

foreclosures: Understanding the process b y j ay s o n s c h wa r z
I
cannot count the number of times people have asked me if I know how they can buy foreclosure property or power-of-sale deals. “You must have inside knowledge from that bank you act for,” they say. (By the way, we don’t have inside information.) My answer is always the same: everything in life is worth what you pay for it. It is only rarely that one of these deals turns out to have a big upside. That is not to say that a careful, prudent and experienced purchaser cannot find a good investment. To buy from a vendor under foreclosure or power of sale you need to first understand what this means and how the properties got there. Both the mortgage and Mortgages Act provide methods of dealing with default. When a mortgage goes into default, the mortgagee (the lender) usually wants to realize their money as soon as possible. Generally, the quickest method is to follow the procedure that allows the issue of a Notice of Sale Under Mortgage. This notice has to be sent to very specific people in a very specific manner. Then there is the issue of time periods, which differ depending on how the process originated. In all cases, the mortgagor (the borrower) has time to pay the mortgage and current costs to “redeem” the property. Even that has inherent questions. In a foreclosure action, the mortgagee (the bank) can sell the property on the market to realize its outstanding loan; or, there is another option available to the mortgagee which is called “foreclosing the property.” Under this method, the mortgagee can keep the property and the title is transferred. The mortgage disappears and the mortgagor (the borrower) no longer owes any money but the property is lost. This all sounds confusing, and it is. There are huge pitfalls when buying property this way. Most of the time, when purchasing distressed property everything is sold “as is,” so any defects in the property, the taxes and the title are the buyer’s responsibility. Lawyers have to spend extra time and conduct a lot more searches just to ensure you are getting a good and marketable title. Title insurance may not cover the situation or have so many exclusions as to be pointless.
Here iS a LiST of Power-of-SaLe queSTionS To aSk: 1. Is the redemption period 35 or 45 days? 2. Is the default period 15 days or three months? 3. Who has been served with the notice? Have they served all the right people and were they served properly? 4. Were any steps taken during the notice period? If yes then the sale will be void. 5. Have reasonable precautions been taken to ensure market value has been realized? 6. Can the mortgagee give vacant possession? 7. Does the mortgagor have a right of redemption after the offer was accepted? 8. Do the conditions you need in the offer to satisfy yourself as to the nature of the property, place your deal in jeopardy for redemption? Of course, then there is the whole question of finding a lawyer familiar with the issues of purchasing subsequent to a mortgage default. Don’t be fooled, this is not a lecture on not to buy distressed properties. It is simply an article on the fact that anything that looks too good to be true, probably is. In other words, remember that famous Latin legal maxim, “caveat emptor” – “Buyer beware.” The purchase of distressed property can be rewarding from a financial position, provided that as a buyer you are careful, prudent and surround yourself with professionals capable of assisting you in obtaining the property without traps of any kind.

In fact, a recent Bank of Montreal report found that 80 per cent of prospective homebuyers know if a house is “the one” the moment they step inside. According to Phil Dorner, president of the Ontario Real Estate Association, while that initial feeling is important, buyers should keep in mind that there are several other factors to
consider before making a final decision. “Although your initial feeling about a property is a powerful force, make sure to follow these steps to help ensure that you aren’t going to be faced with unwelcome surprises,” says Dorner. Here are four important steps for prospective buyers to take before making any decisions: Talk to the neighbours: The best way to get an idea of what it would be like to live in a particular neighbourhood is to talk to someone who already lives there. Chat with neighbours about the community, schools, commute and any potential surprises that you should know about. Work with a local realtor: Look for a realtor who works in the area and knows the ins and outs of the community. Asking friends, family and colleagues for references is a great place to start. Another good way to find a realtor active in the area is to go to open houses in the neighbourhood. Get a home inspection: In Ontario, a home inspection reports on the condition of the roof, structure, foundation, drainage, heating, cooling, plumbing, insulation, walls, doors and electrical system. The cost of a home inspection can vary so do your research and make sure to choose a qualified home inspector who will also inform you of the scope and limitations of the inspection. Check with the city: Visit your local building department and find out if any new developments are planned. Check to see how many owners have applied to build homes or additions that are larger than the by-law permits – this gives an indication of the neighbourhood’s future. When it comes to making a home-buying decision, do your homework and be sure to enlist a real estate professional to guide you through the process.

packing tips Tips To make your move a liTTle easier ❏ Gather boxes in all sizes from friends, neighbors, and stores. ❏ Collect cushioning material such as bubble wrap, foam pellets, furniture pads, old blankets, plastic bags, tissue paper, newspapers, and small towels to use as padding inside boxes.
❏ Label boxes containing fragile items with large red lettering. ❏ Place china in plastic bags and stack plates upright on their sides, not flat. ❏ Pack your TV, stereo, and computer in their original boxes whenever possible. ❏ Keep boxes to 50 pounds or less.
❏ Create a “portable packing kit” with marking pens, a tape measure, packing tape, twine, and scissors. Carry it with you as you pack up items around your home.
❏ Pack heavy items into their own smaller boxes and place lighter items together into larger boxes. (Hint: Don’t pack all your books into one box!)
❏ Reinforce the bottom of boxes with extra tape for added strength.
❏ Don’t move flammable, combustible, corrosive, or explosive items such as paint, gasoline, and ammunition.
❏ Label each box with the name of the room in your new home where it should be placed.
❏ Pack a bag of personal items you’ll need during the move (change of clothes, toiletries, medicine, maps, food, and drinks). Keep it in an easy-to-find place when you pack.
❏ List the contents of the box on the side of it. 48
❏ Number the boxes and keep a list of which boxes go in which room in your new home.

halton region
peel region/ orangeville
City of toronto
During the first two weeks of August, sales in Halton Region reported through the Toronto MLS system were up 27 per cent to 252 compared to 199 transactions recorded during the first half of August 2012. New listings and total active listings were also up on a year-over-year basis, but by a lesser annual rate. “The Halton market tightened in August, with sales growing at a faster pace than listings. This suggests that competition between buyers increased,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at Toronto Real Estate Boards (TREB). The average selling price in Halton through the first two weeks of August was $584,760 – up slightly compared to the average of $583,514 reported during the same period last year. “While market conditions tightened, the average price remained more or less flat in comparison to last year. This was likely due to a change in the mix of home types sold this year compared to last, with fewer higher-end homes changing hands so far this August,” Mercer adds.
In the first two weeks of August, there were 741 sales through the Toronto MLS system in Peel Region/Orangeville. This result represents a 15-per-cent increase compared to the same period in 2012, when 643 sales were reported. “As we moved into the second half of the year we started to see a rebound in the number of transactions on a year-over-year basis in the GTA. Some households who initially put their decision to purchase a home on hold as a result of stricter mortgage lending guidelines have become active once again in the marketplace,” says Mercer. The average selling price in Peel Region and Orangeville was $435,483 during the first two weeks of August – up slightly from the average of $433,629 recorded during the same period in 2012. “While year-over-year growth in the average selling price was somewhat flat compared to last year, this was likely due to a change in the mix of homes sold. Looking forward, the tighter market conditions that we have experienced should prompt further upward pressure on selling prices,” Mercer continues.
Within the City of Toronto, sales through the Toronto MLS system rose 19 per cent on a year-over-year basis during the first half of August to 1,164. New listings were also up, but by a lesser annual rate of 10 per cent. “Sales were up in the City of Toronto for most major home types in the lowrise and highrise market segments. This suggests that a diversity of buyers were driving sales, from first-time buyers through to existing homeowners looking to change their housing situation,” Mercer says. The average selling price for sales during the first half of August was $507,288. This represents a year-over-year increase of one per cent in comparison to the same period in 2012. “The annual rate of price growth can be volatile on a month-to-month basis, but with market conditions remaining tight, especially for lowrise home types, the expectation is that above-inflation price growth will remain the norm through the end of 2013,” Mercer notes.

Resale CPR
Breathe new life into your old home before making your move b y L e i g h -A n n A L L A i r e P e r r A u L t
F
or many of us, the process of selling a home can be an emotional roller coaster ride filled with nerve-wracking inclines, unpredictable dips, and unexpected loops. But once the ride ends and we arrive safely back on solid ground, there is often a sense of relief and joy, and some of us even have the guts to do it all again! If you’ve recently buckled your resale seatbelt or are planning to take a real estate ride in the near future, I have a few tips that can help to make the experience move smoother and faster. Preparing a home to sell is so much more than just making a space look good at first glance! It’s equally important for a home to feel good,
smell good, and even sound good! Successful staging really is all about creating a positive sensory experience for potential buyers, and ultimately making upgrades and changes that will have a significant return on your investment of time and money. But where should you begin? The easiest way to kick-start the staging process is to first perform a little domestic CPR – Clean, Purge, and Repair! Clean:
A huge staging misconception is that it takes the investment of a brand spankin’ new kitchen or newly renovated bathrooms for a home to increase potential resale profits. The good news is that those pricey upgrades will likely shorten the length of time that your home is on the market, but the actual return on investment is often dollar for dollar. If you really want to get the most bang for your buck, simply rolling up your sleeves and thoroughly cleaning your home from top to bottom can offer upwards of a 500 per cent or more return on your investment of time and money. That’s like saying that for every dollar you give me, I’ll give you back five. And the great news is that most cleaning tasks only require a little bit of time and elbow grease to completely transform the look, feel, and smell of a home.
A huge stAging misconception is thAt it tAkes the investment of A brAnd spAnkin’ new kitchen or newly renovAted bAthrooms for A home to increAse potentiAl resAle profits.

squeAking doors, creAking floors And screeching AppliAnces Are red flAgs thAt A home hAs not been lovingly mAintAined. Purge:
If resale is on your horizon, it’s a great time to weed through all of your “stuff” and determine what you want to take with you when you move, and what you can get rid of immediately. I often say, if you haven’t used it in the past six months, it’s time to lose it! It’s easiest to create three categories of unwanted and unused items and separate them into the following piles: sell, donate, and toss! It’s also incredibly important to depersonalize and declutter as much as possible by removing family photos, reorganizing closets, and tackling the “junk drawer.” Ensuring that all areas of your home are free from clutter will help potential buyers focus on your space and not your stuff, and removing personal items will help them to envision themselves living in the home more easily.
In the second repair category, create a list of tasks that require hiring a professional. Be realistic with your budget and timeline, and remember that repairs done by a professional should be seen as an investment, not a cost. Now, take a deep breath and breathe a little CPR into your home to speed up the real estate roller coaster ride and maximize your potential for added profit.
rePair:
Nothing sounds worse to a potential homebuyer than the sound of work! Squeaking doors, creaking floors and screeching appliances are red flags that a home has not been lovingly maintained. The best way to tackle your list of repairs is to divide them into two categories. In the first, make note of tangible DIY tasks that you can efficiently complete on your own. Ensure that you have the right tools for the job, and that you feel confident in using them. If there’s one tool that I think every homeowner should have, it’s the Matrix quick connect system by Black & Decker. You can swap out the various interchangeable heads in seconds to transform the drill into a sander, or a circular saw, or an impact driver. It’s like having a whole workshop inside one small toolbox.

HPI
explained
T
hose who consider the proverbial glass half full know that all things in life are a matter of perspective. This is certainly the case with real estate market statistics, on which divergent opinions often abound. One objective means of assessing current conditions however, involves charting price trends. With this in mind, Greater Toronto realtors have collaborated with five other real estate boards and the Canadian Real Estate Association to develop a tool called the MLS Home Price Index (MLS HPI). This tool offers insight into price growth in the resale housing market according to established benchmark property types. Boards and associations currently participating in the MLS HPI are the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB), Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, Calgary Real Estate Board, Association of Regina Realtors and Greater Montreal Real Estate Board. In addition, there are a number of boards and associations across the country who are in the development phase and will be included in the MLS HPI soon. The MLS HPI is calculated using a sophisticated statistical model that augments the traditional repeat sales approach (comparing the sale price for the same home between two points in time) by taking into account a home’s quantitative (number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, lot size, age, etc.) and qualitative (whether it has a finished basement, views, proximity to amenities, etc.) features. This method accounts for and assigns value to changes made to homes over time. The MLS HPI is traditionally less volatile than average and median price measures, which can swing in response to changes in the number of very expensive or inexpensive home sales from one time period to the next. Less volatility is achieved because the MLS HPI is based on prices calculated for benchmark homes, which are models of typical home types in a given area. The attributes of benchmark homes remain constant over time, so changes in benchmark prices are always based on an apples-to-apples comparison, meaning reported price changes are due solely to market forces (changes in demand and supply for a given home type in a given area). TREB reports MLS HPI benchmark prices, related index values and the associated year-over-year per cent change calculations each month in its Market Watch publication, which can be found at torontorealestateboard.com. 62
Comparable figures for other participating real estate boards and associations can be found at homepriceindex. ca through the use of the MLS HPI Tool. MLS HPI data can be viewed in tables and charts providing current benchmark price and index levels along with change over time. Results from the MLS HPI Tool can be reviewed online or retained in PDF format. In addition to the MLS HPI tool, homepriceindex.ca also offers information on benchmark homes and the methodology used to develop the MLS HPI. While the HPI can effectively track benchmark home prices over time, it is important to note that real estate is very much a local business, one in which prices can vary from home to home and from neighbourhood to neighbourhood. This is where Greater Toronto realtors’ tools and skills come in: they can provide information on comparable properties recently sold in your neighbourhood and offer insight into local factors that affect your home’s value, like proximity to transit, school catchments and future development plans. For the most accurate insight into your property’s value and to achieve a favourable return on your investment, be sure talk to a Greater Toronto realtors, and for updates on the latest activity in the GTA resale housing market visit TorontoRealEstateBoard.com.

*The following Simcoe County municipalities are included in this table: Adjala-Tosorontio, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Essa, Innisfil, New Tecumseth
What’s available and What it Costs Toronto MLS sales during the first half of August were up 37 per cent in York Region/Simcoe County to 750, compared to 549 sales reported in the first half of August 2012. Year-over-year growth in inventory did not keep pace. New and active listings were up by eight per cent and seven per cent on an annual basis respectively. “York Region and Simcoe County remain popular locations for prospective homebuyers, due to the wide variety of housing types available and proximity to diverse employment and transportation options. With this in mind, it makes sense that as buyers have become more active in the market York Region and Simcoe County experienced above-average growth in sales,” says 64
Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB). The average selling price for York Region and Simcoe County combined was $586,337 in the first half of August. This was six per cent higher than the average price reported for the first half of August 2012. “Market conditions in York Region and Simcoe County appear to have tightened. With a significant amount of competition between buyers, the average selling price has been growing at a pace well in excess of the rate of inflation,” Mercer continues.

quicktips
Back-to-school
season by Hellen but tigieg
Now, where was I? If you get interrupted while working on something important, use a notebook or a sticky note to jot down where you left off. When you return to the task, you won’t waste as much time figuring out where to resume.
ack-to-school and back-to-work season are in full swing, and that means more time in the kitchen preparing lunches and dinners, and less time for you to put your feet up or get errands done. Here are some helpful tips to handle the stress of autumn.
Multi-tasking reduces productivity. Contrary to popular belief, multi-tasking may actually lower productivity. The switching back and forth from one task to another costs time and leads to frustration and feelings of overwhelm. As a result, stress increases and there is a greater chance of errors. Although simple tasks can be done at the same time, like watching TV and folding laundry, important, complex activities require our undivided attention.
B
What’s for dinner? Avoid the stress and expense of lastminute dinner decisions with advance planning. Ask your family to list their favourite meals and create a revolving two-week dinner menu (with a grocery list to match). Double the amount you make and freeze it for quick meals on the busiest nights. School lunches made easy. Designate one shelf in the pantry for school snacks only. Transfer foods to airtight containers – you’ll save space because they stack well, and the food will keep longer. Pack lunches the night before and refrigerate. Assign an area in the fridge for school lunches and drinks. With smaller children, encourage independence by storing their foods low enough for the little ones to reach. Involve the kids. You don’t have to do everything yourself. Teach your kids how to do age-appropriate tasks and give them a weekly chore list. You will be helping them to develop important life skills. After you show them how to do each task, post a step-by-step checklist for them to follow when they do it on their own (use pictures for kids who are too young to read). This will allow them to work independently and gain confidence in their newly acquired skills. Clean as you go. Handle small messes as they happen to save time and effort in the long run. Rinse dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher immediately after use, before the food hardens and sticks. If something spills in the fridge, clean it as soon as you notice. If you stain an article of clothing, pre-treat it right away. Keep wipes handy for quick bathroom/kitchen spot-cleaning. How’s your “to do” list working out for you? If you find your list overwhelming and ineffective, consider approaching it differently. Rather than one long list, create several short ones based on the category of the task (like errands, home, calls, computer, etc.). Keep your lists together in a small notebook that’s portable and easily accessible.
Two-timing the simple stuff. Double up your simple activities and you’ll be able to do more in less time. Rather than chatting with a friend at the coffee shop, meet at the gym and work out together instead. Read the morning paper while running on the treadmill. Exercise decision making. Having trouble making decisions? Putting off decisions is actually a decision – a decision not to do anything! Most of us avoid decisions out of fear of making a mistake or upsetting someone. There is an element of risk in making a decision to act, but by not taking action, we can miss opportunities for positive change in our lives. The next time you are faced with a decision, instead of imagining the worst possible outcome, imagine what could go right and how your life would improve as a result. Some guidelines I use when making decisions are “trust your gut” and “if it’s not an absolute yes, then it’s a no.” Stand up for yourself. You can’t please all people all the time, so aim to at least please yourself. It’s incredibly freeing once you consciously decide that everybody doesn’t have to like you. You’ll be able to say “no” to things you don’t want to do, and as a result, you’ll find more time for activities and relationships that nurture you and bring you joy. Your real friends will understand and may even have more respect for you.

What’s available and What it Costs Durham Region sales during the first two weeks of August were up 21 per cent annually to 452. In line with the overall GTA trend, inventory did not keep pace with sales. New listings were up by eight per cent. “Durham region continued to benefit from a lot of buyer interest during the first half of August. The average number of days a home remained on the market was the lowest compared to other GTA regions,” says Jason Mercer, senior manager of market analysis at Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB).
66
The average selling price in Durham reached $356,480 in the first half of August – up seven per cent compared to the average of $334,143 in the first half of August of 2012. “Although Durham Region continues to experience strong price growth, it remains one of the most affordable parts of the GTA, especially when it comes to lowrise home types. For this reason, market conditions will likely remain tight and price growth strong into 2014,”Mercer adds.

Ready for the off season: securing your summer home
T
here are certain things you need to consider when it comes to your recreation property that you may not think of with your regular home – especially since cottages and country homes are more isolated. If it’s your summer home and you’re shutting down until the spring thaw, take that extra measure of security to protect your property and belongings through the winter. If you have a winterized country home or chalet and spend weekends there skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing, you’ll also want to protect your place – with the expensive equipment you bring and the fact that you’re only there part time, you are at risk. It’s especially important to manage your security in the fall and winter, since there are fewer neighbours around to ward off unsavoury opportunists. While a close community in the summer will offer some security, from fall to spring you need to take security measures into serious consideration.
Weiser (weiserlock.com), a leader in manufacturing locksets, suggests the following tips to protect your cottage during the off season: » Don’t leave an extra set of keys outside! Consider installing an electronic lockset. With your own personal code, you can enter and exit with the touch of a button. Instead of leaving keys for guests or renters who will now know next time where to look – without your knowledge or consent – a passcode entry offers you more control of who accesses your cottage by allowing you to assign temporary codes that can be deleted at any time. » Got deadbolts? Most burglaries are the result of forced entry. Make sure all exterior doors have deadbolts with at least a one-inch throwbolt. Since you’re not there to stop intruders, make sure it’s as difficult as possible to get in. » If you’re a summer-only resident, do you have neighbours in the community who stay year-round? Perhaps ask them to park a car in your driveway to make it look occupied. Even the occasional footprint trail to and from your front door will make the property look lived in. A fresh pile of undisturbed snow is a clear indication that nobody has been around. The larger the pile, the longer the absence.

» Ask neighbours to check on your property while you’re away, and offer to do the same when they aren’t around. » Install motion sensor lights outside and timers on interior lights. » Keep windows covered to deter thieves. » If any maintenance is necessary to secure the cottage or other buildings on the property, ensure that it’s done before you leave and not left as a “project” for next summer. Make your home look unappealing to potential thieves. They are looking for opportunity, not risky and difficult access.

10-point plan
for a safe and smooth move CheCk with your provinCial government, the Better Business Bureau and or the Canadian assoCiation of movers (Cam) Before you ContraCt a mover
O
ne of the best ways to ensure your move goes smoothly is to plan it well in advance. The Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) urges consumers to get an early start, giving them time to find the best mover for them – and to ensure they don’t get caught hiring a rogue mover at the last minute. Pitfalls to planning poorly or leaving booking until the very last minute are that you risk getting limited choices for movers, unreliable estimates, empty promises and poor service. Here are 10 points to help you get a good move: Dos
1. DO hire a reputable mover. Check with your provincial
government, the Better Business Bureau and/or the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM) before you contract a mover. 2. DO get three on-site estimates – in writing. An in-home estimate is a more accurate estimate, and that means fewer disputes later on, during or after the move. 3. DO validate any estimate that is significantly different from the others. Check the mover’s reputation and confirm their affiliations. 4. DO read Industry Canada’s Consumer Checklist for Choosing a Moving Company on CAM’s website, mover.net. CAM has important information on moving for consumers. 5. DO ask how your goods are protected against loss or damage and insured while in transit. You may wish to request additional cargo protection that is based on your valuation of your shipment. And always get it in writing. 76
DoN’Ts 1. DON’T make your decision based on the
mover’s advertisement or salesman’s promises. Glossy ads, slick websites and verbal promises won’t ensure a good move. Always get promises in writing. 2. DON’T make your decision based on the lowest price or the company waiving the tax. Low prices are often altered on moving day with additional fees and only a disreputable mover will avoid collecting tax. 3. DON’T allow any company to do an over-thephone estimate. A phone estimate is not binding unless it is followed up in writing and is often unreliable because the mover does not have all of the necessary information. 4. DON’T accept the references a company provides at face value. References can be a marketing strategy so they should not be your deciding factor. 5. DON’T accept any verbal agreement. A verbal commitment cannot be proven in a dispute. Always get promises in writing. You have a responsibility to protect yourself. Find out about your rights and responsibilities. There are consumer protection laws to protect you, but it’s far easier to get a reputable mover than to try and get a remedy after the move.
