The Year of LandI am always pleasantly surprised by what a new fiscal year in real estate brings.

What is going on with this economy?If anything, trying to figure out what the future holds should be left in the hands of good reliable psychics, because our economists haven't really got a clue! Earlier in 2010, the predictions were full of doom and gloom. Interests rates were supposed to go up, the recession was supposed to drag on for years, yet, the signs seems to be contrary, with housing prices stable and sales better than last ...

5 %. Five percent.No matter how many ways I say it, there is still only a 5% down payment required when buying a home for yourself. Not 10% as CBC News erroneously reported on the radio yesterday (April 19th, 2010). Whether you are buying a home in Kentville, New Minas, Coldbrook, anywhere in Nova Scotia, and Canada, it is still ONLY 5% down.

What do I predict for 2010?Last year was definitely a strange year!
Consumer confidence was iffy, when there was confidence with the buying public, many of them were turned down for mortgages even after being 'pre-approved' prior to purchasing a home. Lenders were very conservative in their lending, so it would seem. Buyers who might have previously been good to go, were turned down for financing.
The last quarter of 2009 ...
