A Costly💰 Mistake That Homeowners 🏡 Are Making Right Now👇 That’s Easily Avoidable In The First Place☝️. Selling To A Friend 🧍 🧍 Or Neighbour 🏘️.

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 00:16:08 GMT

Throughout the year I’ve seen this happen multiple times where clients will sell to their friendly neighbour ��️ or even just a friend �� . The problem is ��, is that we don’t know what the house might sell for in a bidding war�� because there’s always one person who will really hit for the fences�� and go way beyond what a reasonable person will pay��.

Because in this market you don’t know what an unreasonable person will pay��, taking your house to market�� can absolutely guarantee you top dollar�� and if you really don’t want to go to market, we have investors〽️ who will absolutely buy your house with an instant offer��.

�� Not appealing to the sellers emotion

If you don't have the chance to meet the seller in person and appeal to their emotions the next best thing is to write them a �� letter explaining your family situation or even best make a video and have your �� video sent to your ��♂️agent so that he can present it.

Even if your offer is not the best offer, I’ve seen situations before where buyers appeal to the sellers �� emotions so much that they get their offer accepted or at least get a second chance.

Letting your emotions get the best of you. ��

In the thousands of offers that I've seen there's always one crazy bidder who goes substantially ⬆️ over the next one which means they're letting their emotions get the best of them and they don't know their numbers and they severely �� over pay for the house they’re buying. By making your decisions based on �� facts, not emotions, not only do you have a great chance of your offer being accepted, you're not going to over pay for it either.

The REALITY of the LUXURY Home Market

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Fri, 26 Feb 2021 17:32:52 GMT

If you’re �� thinking of buying a luxury home in Winnipeg, this is what’s going on in the market over a million dollars right now.

There are currently 37 active listings over 1 million dollars in Winnipeg and the surrounding areas. This year so far only 4 ��houses have sold over a million, we sold 25% of them interestingly enough and right here today I am out in Headingley showing this house to clients in Toronto and for them to come out here and spend 1.5 million dollars isn't a lot compared to what they are �� selling their house in Toronto for.

Now the interesting thing about houses in this price range now that’s anything ⬆️ over a million dollars is a lot of them never make it to market. The reason is a lot of time they are very exclusive properties that people are aware of before they come to market.

✌️So 2 things..

If you are looking to buy a �� house in that price range you need to get put on a list so you can be aware of houses that might be coming.

Secondly if you are thinking of selling a house you might get on the same �� list so that we can let our buyers know who are also looking because these are buyers who are not as active as a typical house buyer who are looking every day. They are waiting for that really exceptional house to come to market.

Five Essential Thing Your Need to Be Doing if your Thinking of Buying a Home in This Market! - Part 1

The first thing you need to do -- Figure Out How Much You Can Afford. Meet with you bank or mortgage broker and get pre approved, this way you will know what you costs are and your offers will be stronger in multiple offer situations.

🚫Don't Do This If You’re Thinking Of Selling Your House!🚫

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 16:49:55 GMT

We just had clients that tried to sell their �� house to ��friends of theirs. We were going to give them a discount on commission because they wanted to sell it to their friends.

They figured their house was worth around $660,000. Their friends offered them $630,000 but there would be reduced commissions so they figured they could save some money. ��

Eventually the financing couldn't go through so we put it on the market at $660,000. It got bid up to $725,000 netting the seller a lot more profit. ��

So don’t think just because there's an offer in front of you it may be the best deal. Proper marketing and staging to the market can certainly net you more money. ��

What's the #1 thing that you can do to improve your house to give you a great return on investment?

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:06:22 GMT

If you watch all the way to the end I'll give you number two and number three. ��

�� The number one thing you can do when it comes ⏰ time to sell your house that's going to give you the best return on investment is take the time to patch any small repairs on the wall and ceiling and �� paint to a neutral color. By fixing small cracks like this that maybe you've lived with for your whole life in the house shows that you've taken good care of the �� house and will be better represented to the buyer. This room is the perfect example when we first looked at it, it looked like a color like this, now it's the perfect calming neutral tone that will be more �� attractive to a buyer.

�� The second best thing that homeowners can do when it comes time to sell that's going to give them a good return on investment and make their house more �� attractive to buyers is taking the time to caulk baseboards and look for cracks like this. You want to make them look seamless and perfect. Here's a great example of how it should look like you can see the caulking line going there and it looks seamless and perfect.

�� The third best thing that homeowners can do that's going to give them a good return on investment when it comes time to sell is look at your old outlets and switch covers. This one here for instance has paint covering it, it's upside down and it's �� brown. This is a perfect example of a modern decor style and it really improves the overall appearance and kind of the modern-ness of the house. Now the one thing to be very careful with here is a lot of people feel that they can do it themselves. I've seen houses when we've been doing renovations where they're not done properly and also where they've arced and almost caused a �� fire as well as in Winnipeg we have houses with aluminum wiring if you're doing that there's special things you need to do if you're looking to do that so definitely consult a �� professional when you're looking to do these things.

The nice thing about doing these kind of �� fix ups on your house is not only will you get �� more money when it comes time to sell but will also sell quicker. That's why on the Judy Lindsay Team we do these things often for free or at least at no upfront costs to you and we've got professionals who have been on our team for over 10 years.

What do You Need To Know if You're Thinking of Selling Your House in December?

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 16:01:25 GMT

It’s a very common question we get asked by a lot of Sellers “Should I sell my house now or should I wait until �� Spring?” And the answer to that? It really depends on your own individual situation.

#1. Is your house ready to go? Are all the little maintenance things done? Is it going to show it's best? That applies to any time of year but this time of year if it’s not ready to go, take the time, use the Holidays to fix it up and make sure it’s going to show it’s best.

#2. Look at that demand in the marketplace. Are we in a situation where there's lots of inventory in your specific area or are there very little houses for sale? If there's not a lot houses for sale, that means there’s going to be ⬆️greater demand. Remember, come ��Spring a lot of people do wait until the grass is greener and the trees have their �� leaves on to make sure that their house looks good but at the same time there's a lot of other people doing the same thing which creates a lot of supply and consequently ⬇️ less demand.

#3. A lot of people forget to consider how much it’s going to cost to hold their property from ☃️ December until March or April. Although the prices may go up 2% -5% and that is likely this year because of the demand we’re seeing it can still cost you not only in your mortgage payments, tax payments and insurance but you have to consider what the cost is holding up that money. A lot of times we go through the calculation we figure out it’s going to be a break even at best type situation that's even if the market goes up. If it stays flat their actually going to lose money so it’s worthwhile to take the time and look at your own specific situation. And although in these challenging times things are certainly different, one nice thing that we've been able to do and really help out a lot of our clients is do virtual market evaluations and how we do that is we look at your house, you are able to walk your house either virtually or just take �� pictures for us, send them to us or we do it via zoom meeting and we can accurately tell you what your house is worth, what you can expect to sell it for, even in the worst case scenario come �� Spring. Plus we can address certain issues. If there are things you’re thinking of fixing we can let you know that yes, it is a good idea to fix these or maybe it's not a good idea to fix and you’ll lose money. So take the ⏰ time, it only actually takes 5 or 10 minutes for us to do this. Gives us a ☎️ call, we can set up a meeting, or send us an email, we’ll set up a zoom call and this way we can go through your �� house and figure out things for you so you know what to plan for in the future.

How did the Winnipeg Real Estate Market finish off in 2020?

Sun, 24 Jan 2021 15:57:45 GMT

and What Do You Need to Know Going into 2021?

The Winnipeg Real Estate Market had one of the best years ��, and I've been doing this for 20 years, in recent history. We saw 26,000 properties sell and that seems like a lot but in a typical year you'll see about 23,000 sell so it's slightly more but the difference is not a lot more houses came to market. In a typical year it's usually between 23,000 to 25,000 properties come to market �� and that's kind of exactly what we saw this year��. It actually was 23,338 listings on the market but the difference was is a very high sell to list ratio ��which means more properties that came to market sold giving us higher numbers. And what that means to you is that because that really tells the story �� of the supply and demand, means the supply is consistent but there's a lot more demand and with a lot more demand comes an increase in price ��.

Big Hearts Small Footsteps

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 23:41:31 GMT

Big Hearts Small Footsteps… That's the motto of the Peg City Kindness Crew.

This mighty team of two Winnipeg women is collecting donations for school kids and people experiencing homelessness. They've only been active for two months and they're already overwhelmed by the community's outpouring of support but they still need your help. Jai Siwak and Deanna Stroud are the co-founders of Peg City Kindness Crew.

Hello to both of you, thank you for joining me!

Hi Marjorie

Hi! Jai, I want to start off with you, how did Peg City Kindness Crew start?

Jai what made you want to take action?

I just thought it shouldn't fall on teachers to feed their kids when they have enough on their plates and I just I don't know, I've always been one that thinks if everybody works together, everybody gets through something.

So Deanna, what has the response been to your calls for donations?

Oh it's been incredibly overwhelming! People have been so generous and they're all just eager to help and pitch in however they're able to. We've just had tons of drop-offs and messages and people also just saying “oh this is so inspiring”, “tell me what I can do” so it's been it's been really overwhelming and amazing!

And Deanna, what amount of donations would you say you've collected?

Well half of my living room is now mountainized, Jai has no basement anymore, she's dropped off several loads to the schools already, our entire back end of the office is just heaped! There's mountains of stuff and then monetary donations as well! I think Jai had said around close to $4000 maybe? It's been amazing, so good!

Right now we're in the middle of collecting and putting together essential backpacks for the homeless, which is really like shampoo, conditioner, soap, that sort of thing, mitts, toques. That's where I've been working with my friend's daughter as well and we're just starting to gear up for hampers for the schools, for the families that are struggling right now

So Deanna, what kind of supplies are you still looking for?

For the backpacks where we're mainly focusing right now, toiletries would be a big one so toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, shampoo, soap, just those basics including mitts, scarves, hats, backpacks, warm things, just stuff that we can put together and again if people would like to do monetary donations we're also purchasing groceries to create a hundred bagged lunches to hand out also so contributions towards that would be amazing also!

And Deanna if people want to donate, if they want to help, where can they go? Where can they find information?

https://www.facebook.com/PegCityKindness/

Go Fund Me Link:

https://gf.me/u/y8f6v2

or they can call us we both work at Judy Lindsay Team Realty so our boss has been super supportive in letting us kind of branch out here too so 204.925.2900 and you can reach either myself or Jai and yeah just reach out that way

Well Jai and Deanna it's absolutely incredible what you're doing! Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us today.

That was Jai Siwak and Deanna Stroud. They are the co-founders of Peg City Kindness Crew they are still looking for donations to fill 100 backpacks for people experiencing homelessness. You can find out how you can help by visiting their Facebook page Peg City Kindness Crew

December Real Estate Report

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Fri, 04 Dec 2020 23:49:16 GMT

What should you be doing now in December if you’re thinking of buying or selling your house in Winnipeg?

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a house in December what you need to know right now is that real estate always has been and always will be about supply and demand. Because of Covid times that we’re in, we’re still seeing strong demand for real estate but the same principle that always applies in December is that people that are only really serious sellers bring their houses to market in December which means that there’s not a lot of people who are just kind of trying to sell their house. Everybody is very serious about selling their house in December so sometimes you get better deals but also on the selling side you can possibly get a higher price because there’s not as much competition and the statistics in Winnipeg still dictate that we are in a very strong market. In 2019 in November we saw 488 sales in this November 2020 we saw over 500 sales but the main thing that for a lot of home sellers is that the average sale price went from $294,000 in 2019 to a mean average of $320,000 in November 2020.

Now I told you if you waited until the end I had a special announcement. What we’re doing with our video crew this time of year because we’re not as busy as we normally are of course is that we’re sending them out to clients houses or prospective clients houses that are thinking that they might be selling next year and what we can do is we can have them come through your house and in Covid times it's not very invasive, they can go through with or without you and we can then look at the video afterwards, give you a very accurate appraisal on your house as well as make recommendations that you may need to do going into 2021 and we’re going to do that at no cost, no obligation, simply call us, it only takes us about 10-15 minutes to go through the house and we can give you that valuable information. And also you are thinking about selling, now is a great time to get on our Coming Soon list for 2021 because we do have buyers that are looking to buy and sometimes they just want to look at what’s out there on the market and our Coming Soon stuff could really help you as a seller as well as if you’re looking to buy.

Check out our Coming Soon or www.WinnipegHousesComingSoon.com and you can see houses that aren’t yet on the market that you may be interested in.

For any more information on our Coming Soon Program, on our availability to come do video for you without actually going to market call me any time 204.925.2900

November Market Report

alex@luminousvisuals.ca (Alexander Samuel) — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 23:52:46 GMT

With the Covid-19 restrictions is it still a good time to buy or sell a home?

What does it mean that we’re going under code red restriction for Winnipeg Real Estate?

Well thankfully, what we were able to learn during the first shutdown the precautions that we need to take in order to keep our staff safe, and our clients safe.

So the things you need to be aware of is that we’re no longer doing open houses, and we’re also not doubling up on showings - meaning that we’re only allowing one couple in a house at any one time.

But, the best part is that we are really good at this now, my team is really good with this. If you need to sell a house we make it so easy and so safe for you to get your house on the market, or if you’re looking to buy a house, we make it really easy. All of our houses we now have 3D scans of them, so you can really appreciate what a house is before you are going to look at it and that not only saves you a lot of time, but it just makes it a lot easier, and obviously that keeps everybody safe.

And as a community it is more important than ever that we support each other, and stay safe.

What You Need To Know About Today’s Real Estate Market

What is going on in the Winnipeg housing market right now or perhaps what a better question is, is what's going on right now that you can use to your advantage?

Hey, I'm Allan Asplin with The Judy Lindsay Team and right now as we sit, it is the middle of October here in Winnipeg, we're still seeing a very strong housing market. Actually, prices are up 11% over this time last year and what does that mean?

Well, last year you could buy an average house in Winnipeg for $320,000, this year it's going to cost you $350,000 so that's a $30,000 difference. So, for a lot of 1st time buyers or even if you're already in the market that's $30,000 that you would have to save up after tax in order to buy a house now this year or you'd left that much on the table because you didn't buy last year! So, the big thing right now is to:

Be active in the market if you're thinking of buying.
If you're thinking of selling don't forget that the same principles that apply in a downward market still apply in a robust market like we're seeing which means you still need strong marketing!
You still have to have really good advertising to get the right buyers in the door.

We just had a situation where we had a house that should have sold for about $240,000, went to auction for $223,000 and didn't sell so that just shows you that marketing absolutely makes a big difference on your house so don't think you can just throw it on the market with either any agent with no advertising or do-it-yourself and expect the same result. You still need strong marketing.

Take-aways from Barbara Corcoran’s interview on Good Morning America.

1. Really Good Photos and 3D Tours are Essential

Hello Everybody, I'm Allan Asplin and Welcome to Ask Allan.

Q. So the first question is, "What is Ask Allan?"

A. My goal with ask Allan is to help both home owners and realtors. I have been in the business for over 20 years and I have seen some amazing things, and by amazing I mean some crazy things with both home owners and realtors and mistakes they make when sellings houses. Now my background is I have been in the business for 20 years, I have owned a construction company, I have been an appraiser, I have been an investor and I know that my background will be able to give both realtors and home owners insight and perspective when it comes to selling their houses.
