2023 Changes to Real Estate that you should be aware of

Posted on December 19, 2022 by Jill Carter, your local Squamish REALTOR®

The real estate market has certainly taken a dip towards the end of 2022, but we all know that it is merely a matter of time before everything picks up again.

The crazy real estate frenzy of the pandemic exposed a few areas where the government and the real estate industry could do better in protecting the consumer when purchasing real estate.

There are changes to come next month for real estate that will affect the Squamish market. Notably, the introduction of the Home Buyer Rescission Period, which comes into effect as of January 3, 2023. This policy will create a "cooling-off" period, where buyers can change their minds within a prescribed period and cancel a contract of purchase and sale for residential property with few consequences.

Also arriving next year is the "Foreign Buyer Ban". Starting in January 2023, non-Canadians will be banned from buying homes across Canada, through the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act. This Act prohibits non-citizens and non-permanent residents from purchasing residential property in Canada for two years.

The Act also restricts non-Canadians from avoiding the ban by using corporations or other entities to purchase residential property. Both the non-Canadian purchaser of prohibited property and any person or entity that knowingly assists in the purchase can be fined up to $10,000 and the property may be forced to be sold.

How these two changes will affect the market in Squamish is cause for much speculation, and we can only wait and see how this plays out.

With informed decisions, and careful strategy, homeowners, potential homebuyers, and investors can succeed with their real estate goals.

If you're thinking of making a move, call/DM me: my phone is always on!

Does your home still fit you?

Posted on October 26, 2022 by Jill Carter, your local Squamish REALTOR®

HOME...There is no better word...

Whether you're coming home to the smell of mom's famous lasagna, or the sounds of your daughter practicing guitar in her room, or the happy barking and the frantic swishing of your babydog's tail, your home is your sanctuary.

Now that the real estate market is no longer as frantic as last year, it's a great time to take a good look at how your home is serving you: in your current lifestyle, and for the possible changes to come.

Sometimes you need a little more space for everyone to breath. And sometimes you are ready to downsize that massive backyard.

Lives change, and sometimes our homes need to change, as well. Is your home suiting your needs?

If not, now is a great time to make a move, to find the home that fits.

Home is a long-term investment.

Let me help you find the home that fits.

Lead, don't follow: Why it's smart to ACT NOW

Posted on June 30, 2022 by Jill Carter, your local Squamish REALTOR®

Posted in buyers market, real estate, real estate advice, Squamish real estate

Don’t buy into the media fear mongering. Real estate is a long-term game.

Mere months ago, buyers were desperately scrambling to write unconditional over-asking offers on a limited supply of properties, afraid of missing out.

Now we are once again in a positive position of having a selection of great homes to choose from, and the prices are great value.

Real estate prices always trend upwards over the long haul.

There may be a few dips, here and there, but there never is a big drop. So unless your intention is to flip right away, you need to realize that in 5 years, your home will have appreciated significantly, and you will have made a good investment in choosing your mortgage over merely renting- especially with Squamish’s high rental prices!

Talk to a mortgage broker (I can refer you, if needed- I know some great people!) You will see that while our rates are currently higher than they were during co-vid, they’re not ridiculously high, as some people seem to think.

NOW is the time to take advantage of the pause in the real estate “feeding frenzy”- as we all know, it WILL return at some point- you’ll be glad that you acted when the others were sleeping.

If you see the home of your dreams for sale, JUMP on this great opportunity. Your future self will thank you.

I’m happy to guide you on this journey. Call/DM me anytime.

Let’s do this!!!
