After looking at the stats from yesterday I can really understand what is going on. The sales are higher but there is no inventory out there for clients to buy a home.
My clients are serious, pre-qualified and ready to put an offer on a house today! What more do you need .... oh yeah, a house!
If you live in Rockland and you have been thinking of selling, it might be a good time to be selling your home. My clients are looking between $220,000 and $260,000, single home, with a garage, 3 bedrooms, finished or unfinished basement, newer home (not more than 6 years old), open concept and a house that shows well. If this describes your home, my clients are ready and might put an offer on your house.
If you would like an up to date market analysis of your home ( for FREE & no obligation ) just give me a quick call or you can always e-mail me at jeanricher@jeanricher.com
Just a quick heads up that I will be listing a beautiful Cardel home some time next week.
It is a stunning 3 bedroom home with quality upgrades throughout. The possession date will be some time next August but the Seller wants to be able to showcase this beautiful home before the snow comes down. It might be a bit of a wait for the right buyer but once you see this home you will be amazed. More details and photos coming soon.
You can visit JeanRicher.com to keep an eye on it or keep an eye on my blog for more details.
A great new tool for real estate agents & clients. You can check out our office on Innes Road. You can put in an address, find the home you are looking for and then you can walk or drive the neighbourhood to see what is going on. You can visit the park, look at the neighbours, see what is down the street and also route your way into work.
Some people were complaining about the privacy issues, but I think it's a great tool we can all use in our daily lives as real estate agents.
Come one, give it a try and see for yourself how it can benefit you. Find your home, find your place or work or even your friends house. It is pretty amazing the technology behind it all.
Have fun and enjoy!

Just saw an ad in the paper about green bins coming to Ottawa this fall.

This is great news for Ottawa and we can now start recycling organic waste over and above what we already recycle. Certainly many peolpe will have negative comments on these but when you sit back and think about it, we are helping to reduce our waste in the land fill sites. It won't have much of an impact over the next 12 months but think about the next 2, 3, 5 10 years from now how it can help us and the next generation.
Between September and December , 2009 the first green bins will be delivered to a majority of Ottawa homes. Remember that you can't use these green bins until January 2010, when city-wide pick-up of organic waste begins.
For more details you can visit their web site at www.GreenBinOttawa.ca or call 3-1-1 to talk to someone.
I know that many of you might not want to hear this, but fall is here and winter is not far behind. The leaves are changing colors, the evenings are colder and the sun is not here as long as it used to be. When you have showings after 6:00 pm, please make sure that you leave some lights on for the agents to show your home. Specially the outside light on the front porch. It is getting a bit darker and sometimes it makes it easier to open the lock boxes. We are fortunate here in Ottawa because many of the agents are taking advantage of our iBoxes, which makes it much easier to open the mechanical lock boxes.
Either way just remember that if we are having a harder time to get in to see your home, it distracts from the showing. You want to make sure to give a good impression, so make it easy for the agent and his/her clients to get in to see your home. It might be a small detail for you but it does make it easier for the agent and the potential buyers of your home.
Just a thought!
