Mesmerizing Ocean Views in Fairwinds

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A HOME INSPECTION? A home inspector will go through the property and perform a comprehensive visual inspection. A typical inspection includes an examination of the structure from top to bottom, including the heating, air conditioning systems, the interior plumbing and electrical systems, the roof and visible insulation, walls, ceilings, ﬂoors, windows and doors, the foundation, basement and visible structure. If you can spare the time, it’s a good idea to accompany the inspector during the process. This can give you an opportunity to learn about any problems ﬁrst-hand and become more familiar with your new house at the same time. The inspector may also be able to share some valuable maintenance tips with you during the inspection.

Watch eagles soar, golfers golf and sailors sail from this tastefully updated 4200 sq. ft. home featuring a bright and spacious floor plan with all principal rooms on the main floor and over 2000 square feet on the lower level for recreation, guests and storage. High ceilings and a double sided fireplace in the Living Room and Family Room and an awesome solarium off the kitchen with its new gorgeous granite counters. Beautifully updated and meticulously kept, this home is realistically priced. Please go to www.carolefulton.com for a comprehensive slide show and floor plans.

Following the examination, the inspector will provide a report that not only points out possible defects or areas of concern, but also the positive aspects of the structure as well as the type of maintenance that will be necessary to keep the home in good shape. The home inspector should be willing to answer any questions you have as well as clarify any limitations of the inspection to avoid misunderstandings. Avoid ﬁrms that issue only a verbal report. The report should be more than just a checklist of items inspected. The home inspector should also issue a written report with accurate cost estimates for any major defects discovered during the inspection.

$825,000

A professional assessment will provide complete information about the condition of the property you are considering and will help avoid any unpleasant surprises after the sale. In addition, a home inspector can remain totally objective, while you as the prospective homebuyer may be emotionally involved.

A home inspection usually lasts about three hours. The inspection fee for a typical single-family house can vary depending upon the geographic area.

Lower interest rates have helped make buying a home less expensive in the past. Here’s a few tips on how you can make sure that you can actually afford to jump on in to the housing pool:

886 STANHOPE ROAD, PARKSVILLE • Immaculate 1398 sq.ft., 2 bed, 2 bath • Attached double garage • New hardwood, tile and carpet

• Think beyond the mortgage payment. You’ll need to afford real estate property taxes, home insurance, home repairs and maintenance.

Hosted by

• “Loan Approved” doesn’t necessarily mean “Loan Affordable”. Start documenting your monthly expenses, such as utility bills, car repairs and payments, current property taxes or rent pay ments, clothing, haircuts and entertainment expenses. • Unfurnished is okay. Don’t feel like you have to charge items just to furnish your new home. High credit payments may actually compromise your ability to make your mortgage payments.

SATURDAY - MAY 5 • 10:00AM - 12 NOON

WALK TO TOWN OR BEACH Imagine living within walking distance to everything from your 1400 sq.ft. rancher on a low maintenance small lot. Enjoy strata-like living with no rules or fees!

• Shop around for mortgages. If you don’t understand all the costs, ask questions. If a lender is vague, ask them to be more speciﬁc. How is your credit? Is this the right time for you to buy, or should you wait until your credit history looks better?

• Will you still be employed? Ask lenders about unemployment insurance, which can typically offer up to 12 months (or more) of mortgage payments if you’re laid off.

Hosted by

• Know your mortgage. Your loan type may determine if the loan has payment ﬂexibility or other alternatives.

TIPS

FREE W E E K L Y

Buying a home? These seven tips can make your house-hunting experience positive & rewarding. 1.

Location counts - you’ve probably heard the old real estate joke about “location, location, location”, but the point still bears repeating. Location is critical. How far are you really willing to drive to your place of employment? How good are the local schools and public transportation? Even a picture-perfect dream home can be a mistake if it’s in an undesirable location, and a poor-location home can be a particularly bad choice if you anticipate reselling the home in a few years. Make a list - Do you (and your spouse, if you’re married) really know what you need and want in your home? You’ll save many hours of shopping (and potential arguing) if you make a list ahead of time. Zero in on the features you must have, would like to have, deﬁnitely don’t want and would prefer not to have. Your goal is to ﬁnd the right home for your family without falling in love with one that doesn’t suit your needs. Start compiling your wish list by thinking about what you like & dislike about your current home.

Do your homework - not too long ago, consumers had very little access to information about recent home sale prices, market trends, homes on the market, neighbourhood statistics and the home-buying process. Today, all this information and more is available. Go surﬁng on the web or ask a realtor to provide you with this information. Get educated. Become empowered. Get pre-approved for a mortgage - Your top-dollar home price is a function of your household income, your credit worthiness, interest rates, the type of loan you select and how much cash you have or are willing to offer for the down payment. Rather than guessing or estimating how much you are going to be able to afford to spend, ask a lender or a mortgage broker to give you a full assessment and ask for a letter stating how much you’re qualiﬁed to borrow. The true amount may be much more or less than you think.

Use a checklist - touring multiple homes can be a confusing experience for most people. Rather than relying on memory, make notes about the homes you visit. Create a personalized home-shopping checklist and use it to track the features of each home that you’re interested in.

Be prepared to make an offer - house hunting can be frustrating, especially if you know you’re not ready to buy a home. If you’re not ready, don’t put yourself through the exercise. If you are ready, ask your realtor to go over a blank purchase agreement ahead of time so you’ll know what decisions you’ll face when you make the offer.

Relax - granted, buying a home is a major life-altering event. But it’s not worth making yourself crazy or super over-stressed about. Save time at the end of your house-hunting expedition to unwind, calm your thoughts and emotions and keep the whole experience in perspective.
