Putting in a deposit for a home that has not yet been built can certainly cause headaches. New constructions often seem to end up taking much longer than anticipated. In a recent edition of the Ottawa Citizen, Les Vandor answered a question posed by a couple who's condo finish date was pushed back by over a year. They had paid their deposit on the home in September 2007 with the expectation that it would be built by July 2008. However, the ready date was postponed to August 2009 and then again to December 2009. Clearly frustrated, the couple was wondering if they could ask for their deposit back or sell the condo before it was completed.

As we mentioned earlier this week, the resale housing market in Ottawa is staying strong. The Ottawa Citizen gave us more evidence of this with an article that talked about how homes are selling for as much as 15% over provincial assessments. MPAC - the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation, an independent agency that evaluates all Ontario homes for property tax purposes, recently produce estimates for what they believed homes were worth as of January 2008. It turns out, however, that the property valuations may have been a bit on the low side, at least in Ottawa.

Well, This coming weekend (May 1,2,3) is Capital Home Staging & Design's FIRST tradeshow event! Sooo many things are running though my head do i have all my pamplets & post cards, will my decor be as planed or will i have a pre show emergency?
Even though there are many factors that are scary.....not being apart of the event is even more scary! I am extremely excited to meet local people and other local businesses. I am apart of about 3 business networking goups and this seems to be like a ginormous group for all to see! I have only been to the ottawa home and garden show never the ottawa women's show. I'm sure the event will be similar but with the main main attendies being women.
So. i've got my booth location, my plan that i've drawn out about a billion times, my inventory waiting nicely in boxes at my door and even my 3 different outfits i'll be wearing. Growing up as a girl guide having the motto "BE PREPARED" burned into my mind has served me well though out life i'm sure it will serve me just as well for this event!
So if your in the Ottawa Area we would LOVE to see you there!
