Know The Flight Path Before You Buy

If you are thinking🤔 of buying in Winnipeg you need to know about our airport and where the airplanes✈️ are going to be. Sometimes while you are viewing a home you are lucky enough to have an airplane fly right over, and other times you may not be graced with its presence, and if you don't know about the flight path you wouldn't know how noisy😵 it is until you move in. 

For some, it is no big deal, they are used to the sound and it doesn't bother them... for others, this is a deal breaker. 

Let me know in the comments which side you are on, and if you found this info helpful. 😊

PEX vs Poly B

When I first dropped this video last year a lot of mansplaining happened, I think they thought I couldn't possibly know what I was talking about...🤷‍♀️ so here it is again one more time for you, so that you understand the different plumbing. 

In the 70s there was a very popular type of plumbing, all the rage and the hot new type of plumbing Poly B made its way into homes.🛀 But there was a problem. Poly B started to break down, both mid-pipe and at its joints... and so now, Poly B is a big problem.💦

If you are buying a home that has it insurance will require you to swap it out.🔄 I have only ever seen Poly B in one home in Winnipeg, but I have heard of it being in many homes. 

If you are selling, this is something you will want to know about upfront as it will become an obstacle in your sale. 🧐

The Rates Are A Hot Topic

The rates are a hot topic🔥 and one that we don't know what will happen in the next year, we can all agree that several variables at play could affect what happens with the rates.🧐 All the banks have access to the same info and the same data and they are all making different predictions as to what will happen.🤔 The one takeaway from this graph is that even if the most pessimistic one ends up being true.... it still is great.✅

What Do I Do With A Horizontal Crack?

The horizontal crack in a foundation is about the worst one you can find.....😵 and you are going to have to do something about it.😩 This is where steel bracing comes in to help keep that wall and your house secure. 

While we are not a foundation expert, we can help you make decisions on whether or not it makes financial sense to do these repairs before selling.😊

Buying A Condo Can Be Tricky

Condos are a tricky thing, and there is a lot that you need to know.🧐 It is NOT the same as buying a home as you are also buying a property with many other people involved, including their budgets and plans. 

If you have been following me for a while, you know that condo docs aren't my favourite thing,😩 but they are important, and I know a lot about them. 

So DM me "winnipegrealtor" if you want to start buying a condo and want the right Realtor on your side. 🙌

Why Is Grading Important?

In 90% of the showings and home inspections that I attend, the grading on the exterior of a home is incorrect.😟 It slopes towards the house instead of away from it. This causes water💦 to be directed right back to the foundation, which can cause a horizontal crack (among other things). 😬

It is a very expensive💰 fix that not only includes the bracing you see here but also excavating from outside, usually to the tune of $20k+ depending on how many walls need to be done. 

So...take a look👀 around your home this spring, see which way the grading is going, and get it in the right direction👈 this year.

The Sun Dogs Of Winter In Winnipeg

If you are moving to Winnipeg from a place that usually has warmer weather you can hear a lot of scary things about the cold. One of the amazing things about Winnipeg is the amount of sunshine that we have, and on those cold days with the sunshine, you also get Sun Dogs.

Sun Dogs is an atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when sunlight refracts through hexagonal ice crystals suspended in high-altitude clouds, creating a prism effect on colder days. They are an absolutely beautiful thing to see as you are going about your day.

My Favourite Time To Sell Your Home

Wrong... this is my absolute favourite🤩 time to have a home hit the market, there is next to no selection for buyers out there, and they are hungry, focused and ready to buy a home!😀 I know you want to wait for spring because you are told that is the best time... but I want to start the conversation with you now to get that home listed in the dead of winter☃️ instead. 

DM or Comment below with WinnipegRealtor and let's get that conversation started! 🙌
