Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - Spring is in the Air!
The snow and cold weather are beginnng to leave us. We’ve endured a long, cold winter and we have experienced 6 months of doom & gloom and negativity. It now not only looks like Spring is on it’s way, but it feels like the Spring Market has begun. There is definitely activity everywhere. Buyers who’ve been waiting for months to buy have returned to Open Houses and are making offers.
The snow and very cold weather has delayed alot of Sellers putting their properties on the market. Which is not unusual, as Sellers like their property to show at it’s best once Spring is in bloom.
At present there are less properties for sale and alot of buyers looking. There are truly terrific opportunities out there right now! Those opportunities may only be available for a brief time as more properties begin to come on the market.
This is not the same market as 1 or 2 years ago, but as price conscious buyers are coming back, we are making small steps towards some normality in the market. posted in General at 3:38 PM, 2009-03-24

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - Good News in the Federal Budget
The Federal budget offers good news for homebuyers and homeowners!

“The housing measures tabled in yesterday’s budget will go a long way to addressing local economic uncertainties, consumer confidence and the quality of life in our neighbourhoods,” said REBGV president Dave Watt. “Home sales are so important to our economy. Each time a home changes hands, the transaction generates significant spin-offs and jobs because homebuyers also purchase furniture, appliances, carpeting, and numerous other goods and services related to their homes.”

The federal budget announced a new First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit of up to $750 to help homebuyers with closing costs such as land transfer taxes and legal fees, a new Home Renovation Tax Credit of up to $1,350 for homeowners who renovate, a new funding program for ecoENERGY retrofits that provides home and property owners up to $5,000 for energy improvements and a new social housing program.

The federal budget also announced an increase to the Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawal limit to $25,000 from $20,000. The Plan was first introduced in 1992 to help first-time homebuyers by allowing them to withdraw from their RRSPs to buy a home. The withdrawal limit had not been increased since then. Eligible couples can now withdraw up to $50,000.

The REBGV has advocated these changes for many years, and, in 2008 received support from Delta-Richmond East MP John Cummins who introduced a private members’ bill and personally raised the issue with colleagues from all parties, including the Minister of Finance.

“The federal budget demonstrates that the Government of Canada is listening to our concerns and paying attention to what we have to say,” said Watt. “As a result of the budget announcements, homeownership today is more accessible and more affordable for all Canadians.”
