5 Tips on Buying Real Estate in Barrie, Ontario

Here are 5 reasons why buying a home in Barrie Ontario makes sense

With all the views on where real estate is heading and the direction seems to be all over the map (it's up.... it's down....its flat...), I thought I would get back to basics and point out five things about buying property (investment or otherwise) in Barrie Ontario and why it makes for such a good investment.

•1- Buy near the Lakefront: You can never go wrong about buying lakefront property. You know the saying "they do not make land anymore" applies on investing in any real estate, but double that for waterfront property in Barrie. All Barrie waterfront (Lake Simcoe) property is a good investment.

•2- Buy near the new GO station; The new GO station in Barrie is transforming local areas. By using this strategy you will be ensuring that the Ripple effect will enhance your property values. The GO train has linked Barrie to Toronto as if Barrie were just another suburb like Brampton, or Newmarket.

•3- Buy near the College and Hospital; Georgian College, Laurentian University and RVH, are a great source of renters. And not necessarily by students. The student rental market pushes the vacancy rate down for regular rental investment property. This area is also well established with schools, parks and is close to the waterfront ( Johnson Beach).

•4- Buy near the New Developments; Park Place, Baypoint Marina; These places will attract not only tourists, but also draw from all over Simcoe County. New and exciting developments increase value through the ripple effect.

•5- Buy Barrie's Downtown Transition Areas; Every town has them and Barrie is no exception. Dunlop Street, Toronto Street, Simcoe Street, Henry etc....all in a state of change. Wherever there is positive change occurring in real estate, values will go up. "Change of use" for investment property is your number one reason for investing in real estate.
