Here’s the latest update from Jake!:

 

Yay, September is here!

 

This is one of the best times of year for hiking in the park, the swimming is still good and the biking is the best.

 

Not to mention that everyone has gone home from vacation and everything is quiet again! 

 

Don't get me wrong, I like tourism and people from out of town.

But, it's just nice to have some variety. 

 

That is the beauty of living here!

It's constantly changing into a new season, nothing stands still. 

 

Kind of like me - I like to stay moving, keep growing and pushing for new things.

 

No significant changes in Real Estate. 

Prices are continuing to increase due to lack of inventory.

 

Looking forward to hearing what the politicians are promising us/contributing to housing affordability initiatives.

 

As always, please reach out if you have any questions or would like to meet up for a visit :)

June 2021 Monthly Buyers Survey!!

The pandemic has accelerated demand for real estate in the Okanagan, brought by a demographic shift.

 

The area was traditionally seen as a retirement community. However, the relocation of younger households, typically with higher incomes, is increasing thanks to the rise of remote work.

 

These buyers are attracted to the high quality of life, weather, and access to nature.

Start your energy-efficient retrofits -

Learn more about the Canada Greener Homes Grant:

 

The Canada Greener Homes Grant provides funds for home evaluations and for retrofits, to a total of $5,600.

 

Homeowners are eligible for up to $600 total for the cost of pre- and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluations and for up to $5,000 total for the implementation of eligible retrofits such as home insulation, windows doors, and air sealing.  

 

It is important that you read all eligibility criteria and grant requirements to be sure that you will qualify for reimbursement at the end of the process.

How to make the most of that new, federal, 'green' home retrofit grant:

 

When the federal government launched its Canada Greener Homes Grant a week ago, the interest level was high enough to crash the website temporarily.

 

The program has received at least 30,000 applications so far.

 

Now, energy auditors and contractors say they're fielding a wave of inquiries from homeowners keen to apply for what could amount to $5,600 in federal support per household.

Reviewing a builder’s Agreement of Purchase and Sale:

 

As a lawyer, when advising buyers of pre-construction homes or condominium units just after they have signed an agreement, I always start off the consultation by saying the same thing. These Agreements Of Purchase And Sale (APS) are very one-sided in the builder’s favour.

 

They are designed that way. The APS has been drafted to anticipate all the builder’s needs, such as delays in obtaining occupancy permits and other government approvals, and to protect the builder’s overall best interests. Closing dates five years in the future are not uncommon.
