New developments in Guelph- My take
Aug 13,2019 | Buying
Share This Post:
I always seem to be asked about new development opportunities in the city, so decided to give a quick recap of what is currently available and what you should be looking out for in the coming months.
If I haven’t talked to you about this already here is my two sense on buying pre build… it is a great investment in the City of Guelph. The statistics are available to you
(GDP for the Guelph region grew by 3.6 per cent in 2018 placing it as the highest among medium sized cities in Canada- read more here)
, but the fact is we are growing and the access to our beautiful city is only increasing. By 2025 (that’s just over 5 years away) Guelph GO transit will give you access to Pearson in 35 mins and downtown Toronto in 45 minutes.
For these reasons alone we can expect the demand on the housing market to increase and therefore increase housing prices. Looking out 5 short years, NOW is a great time to invest some of your nest egg into real estate to reap the rewards later.
Upcoming Projects:
Alice Block: The Ward – Towns
Current Projects:
Deciding on the best project for you will depend on your personal situation. My personal success in pre build purchasing has been from our local builders. Knowing you are buying from can offer some peace of mind and of course supporting local will continue to help our economy.

Here is a quick snapshot of how the Guelph market is sitting as of the end of October 2019. We have had a busy fall with properties moving quickly. I expect things to slow down for the holiday month and then we will see the typical boom from investors come January. Some interesting stats to pull out of the report this month: – 16.8% more units sold – The average sale price for South Guelph up 25.5% – 46% more units sold in the East End – Still seeing a steady decline in the homes for sale for $350,000 and under – Homes in the North End moved on average 10 days faster than this time last year

September in Review:
Here is a quick snapshot of how the Guelph market is sitting as of the end of September 2019. Really starting to see things pick up as we get into fall- but fully expecting the typical slow down as we get closer to Christmas (Yes I said Christmas- it is coming!). A number I always like to see … the price of homes across the city is up 4% from this time last year- proving our strong market in Guelph.
Some interesting stats to pull out of the report this month: – # of properties sold Downtown Guelph jumped by 61% – Properties were on the market an extra 4 days in the South End – The average sale price for North Guelph was up 6% – The south end continues to have the most expensive detached homes on average in Guelph and Downtown has the most expensive apartments on average.

AUGUST IN REVIEW
Here is a quick snap shot of how the Guelph market is sitting as of the end of August 2019. Although it felt as August was a slow month for real estate this year we did see a 12% increase from last year in the homes sold for the month. A number I always like to see is the price of homes across the city is up 7% from this time last year- proving our strong market in Guelph.
Some interesting stats to pull out of the report this month: -28% more homes sold in the South End alone -39% more homes sold in the East End -Average sale price in the West End was up 24% -Average sale price in Puslinch up 45%! -24% decrease in the units sold in the Downtown Area – Could be contributed to the reno bug?
Typically in September/October we see a shift in the market with more units for sale and also more units purchased. This is simply is contributed to people done summer vacation and ready to get the home sold before Christmas.

Home turn-offs when selling
Aug 26,2019 | Selling
Share This Post:
Here is a quick listing of some selling turn-offs that I have noticed throughout the years. If you are prepping to sell your home try and update/fix these problem areas as much as possible, I promise the monetary return will be worth it!
1. Update kitchen and bathrooms: This can be as easy as a fresh coat of paint, or new shower curtain! Depending on the age and wear of the room more may be required.
2. Dull lighting: Your home will feel brighter and bigger with ample lighting. Remove heavy curtains and draperies, allow for clear passage way to windows, ensure all your lights have no burnt out bulbs, and clean lighting fixtures.
3. Odours: Sometimes we do not notice the odours in our own homes. When prepping to sell odours like pets, cigarettes and strong smelling foods can be troublesome to new owners when they walk through the door. Air out your home, clean the litter more often, empty kitchen trash more frequently, try not to cook smelly foods in the home, smoke outdoors, are all great examples of ways to keep the home smelly fresh. Spot clean any urine residue with a vinegar solution to help remove any lingering smells.
4. Damp patches, stained walls and ceilings: This can cause a red flag to potential buyers. Providing the issue is fixed (I am not suggesting covering up problems in your home) cleaning up stains will help give a fresh look to the home.
5. Cluttered rooms: This seems like an obvious one but is a very important one. You want people to be able to picture themselves in the home and not distract them with YOUR things. I always tell my clients to pack away everything they are not using regularly. You have to pack it to move anyway so may as well start now. Donate, have a garage sale, and take a trip to the dump to purge things you no longer needs or love… “if it doesn’t spark joy!” Also try and keep passageways to windows, closets and doors clear so potential buyers can get a feel for the space without stepping over or on your things.
6. Over the top decor: Just like clutter you do not want to distract potential buyers from the beauty of your home with your personal items. Try and make the home as attractive as possible to any and all tastes.
Fun colours are for living (red, yellow, greens), neutral colours (beige, cream, warm white, light grey) are for selling!
