Home Buyers in Winnipeg have a new tool at their disposal: REALTORS® use the Keystone-Matrix system which is a huge help for home buyers. There are several neat features in this system.... Here is a look at one of those features.

Here are some of the most common questions Home-Buyers have:

Q: Whats the best way to FIND a house in Winnipeg? Go to Open Houses? Looking thru real estate magazines? Search individual agents websites?

A: Magazines are often published once a month, or perhaps once a week. By the time a listing makes it into print, it's most often already sold or accepting offers. Open Houses can be very hectic, and you end up 'rubbing elbows' with lots of other visitors. The Best Way? Work with one REALTOR® who can show you ALL the listings. Someone like, say, me for example. Watch this video.

Q: Why should I work with a REALTOR®. I can find the houses on my own!

A: FINDING them is just a small part of what real estate agents can do for you. Once you find a nice house, I can...

Hello Everyone:

Winnipeg REALTORS® have just released their official MLS® sales statistics for the sales during the month of February 2010. Sales and dollar-volumes are up, kept in check only by the lack of 'inventory' on the market.

For dollar volume, for example, this February saw the highest sales-amount for ANY February on record. The $150 million dollars sold surpasses the previous February Record, set in 2008, by a whopping 9%.

Furthermore, 44% of homes sold for "Above List Price", while coincidentally another 44% sold for less than list. (Call me anytime for a one-on-one personal explanation to this statistic). While the number of homes sold in February (712) is lower than past years, this is attributed to the fact that there are not as many listings available. Adding a personal observation, I know several clients who are just in the process of 'fixing' their homes and getting them ready, and I feel that this 'lack of inventory' is coming to an end fairly soon.

The average days on...

8 Things You Must Know When Buying a Home

Winnipeg's Real Estate Market is a hot one, and has been so for the past few years. And whether you’re on the lookout for your first home or you want to buy real estate as an investment option, there are a few ground rules that you must obey if you don’t want to end up being on the losing side of the transaction. While some of them are obvious, there are others that are not so, and this is why people end up with mortgages that are too expensive and/or homes that are completely unsuitable for them. So before you buy a home, here are eight things you should consider:

1. 
   
2. Don’t buy the biggest or most expensive house in the neighbourhood, or buy a home and renovate it to become the best looking and most expensive piece of property in the area. If you do, you’re going to have trouble maintaining and/or selling it if the need arises.
3. Beware of white elephants like swimming pools, entertainment rooms and wet bars – they may seem like status symbols and co...

Hello Everyone:

We just sold 479 Woodydell Ave in Meadowood area of St. Vital. We had listed it last week, with showings starting on Saturday, Feb. 6th, and offers on Tuesday, Feb. 9th. During those 4 days, the home was shown by 40 REALTORS® to their clients. In the end, the owners received 11 offers.

Hi Everyone:

It's the start of the spring market in 2010 and home-owners are well advised to begin looking at 'listing' their home. Buyers are looking, and there are NOT a lot of homes on the market right now.
For example, in the Meadowood area of St Vital, which has 1784 houses, there are currently only 2 homes for sale. Which is why, RIGHT NOW is an excellent time to put your home on the market.
