Celebrate! A New Perspective on Closing the Cottage  Well, all summer long you've been enjoying yourself and entertaining family and friends at the cottage. How quickly the summer passed. And now it's time to think about getting ready to close the cottage.  As fall approaches and the cool weather and shorter days arrive, cottage owners will sadly anticipate the end of cottage season. For many, shutting down their summer sanctuary is a double dose of bad news - not only do lazy days on the dock disappear but they are quickly replaced with the labour required to close the cottage properly.Fortunately, many cottage owners are beating the blues by celebrating the end of cottage season with a "let's make a good situation out of a bad one" attitude - a sentiment that has become as common in c... 08/23/2007

A recent economic report by Scotia Bank, States that Canada's housing market is expected to gradually cool this year because of rising interest rates and an increased inventory of homes on the market with an aging population.This report, by Scotia Bank, also predicts the changes to the type of person who will be purchasing homes in the future. "The `typical' homebuyer in the coming decade will not be as traditional as in the past, having more diverse social and demographic characteristics".Read the full report at http://www.scotiacapital.com/English/bns_econ/retrends.pdf For more Information about Real Estate and Listings, Visit www.LisaTollis.ca Lisa Tollis, Sales RepresentativeRoyal LePage State Realty, Brokerage.Hamilton, Ontario.905 574-4600 Ask for Lisa Tollis. 08/12/2007

If you have been thinking of purchasing a home, ask yourself these questions and then your spouse too. If either one of you have bad credit, It can affect your buying power. Is now the right time financially for you to buy a home? Would you rate your financial picture as healthy?Is your credit good? Is your spouse's  credit good?Have ever went over the limit on your credit cards? While you can always find a lender to lend you money, solid lenders are more skeptical if your credit history is not good. Generally, a couple of blemishes on a credit report will make you a good credit risk and could qualify you for the lowest interest rates. If you have more than a couple of blemishes on your report, lenders like Quicken Loans may still provide you with a loan, but you may just have to pay a ... 08/08/2007

Viewing Homes What should I look for when viewing a home? You pull up to the curb and there it is - the home of your dreams. Calm down. Take a deep breath and start again. The hardest thing to do when looking for a home is to remain objective. It is easy to fall in love with a home's appearance, but it's very important to look beyond the window dressing.Here are some things to consider when looking at a home:General upkeep First appearances do count. Is the home dirty and cluttered? Are the lawns uncut? Are the walls chipped and in need of paint? If the owner hasn't bothered to keep the house looking clean and attractive, what problems are lurking below the surface?Water leaksWater can do a lot of damage to a home. It rots wood, undermines foundations, and leads to mould and mildew. Res... 05/22/2007
