Barrie Lake Simcoe Real Estate

By BarriehomeRealty.com | February 5, 2008

Barrie offers great views, especially overlooking Lake Simcoe. Some of the best real estate that can be found in the Barrie real estate market is Barrie Real Estate overlooking Lake Simcoe. Lake Simcoe gives Barrie much of its beauty and charm, whether in winter overlooking the ice, spring viewing the thaw, or summer viewing the open water view. At any time of the year a Barrie home with a Lake Simcoe view is prime real estate at a price much more affordable than anything remotely comparable in Toronto.

Groundhog Predicts Barrie Real Estate Early Spring

By BarriehomeRealty.com | February 2, 2008

Apparently Wiarton Willie has predicted an early spring for Barrie Real Estate. I always thought we predicted the length of the winter based on whether the groundhog saw his/her shadow, but apparently there has been an upgrade and Wiarton Willie now speaks and interprets. Be that as it may it never did make much sense to me: 6 weeks of winter if the ground hog saw its shadow and how long if the groundhog did not. Beats me. Nevertheless winter lasts just as long as it does and spring comes when it is ready. Here in Barrie even the winter is a good time to buy a home.

Buying Your Barrie Home

Now is a great time to buy a house in the Barrie real estate area. Many people prefer to buy in the spring and summer and this gives you a bit of an advantage. You get to pick and choose the house you want before the snow comes down while fewer people are looking. This may give you a slight advantage when it comes to the price of your Barrie home.

Tips for Negotiating Your Barrie Home Purchase

By BarriehomeRealty.com | October 19, 2007

 Tips for Negotiating Your Barrie Home Purchase

In negotiating your Barrie real estate deal some people forget courtesy and common sense. Here are three courtesy or common sense suggestions:

Do not insult the seller. Some people think they will get a better price if they do this. In reality there is a good chance the seller will refuse to sell to you. Treat the seller with the same respect you would appreciate.

Everyone wants to get the best deal, you, as well as the seller. this really isn’t the best time for a Win-Lose scenario. Try to negotiate a deal that is mutually agreeable. there is much more good will involved and the deal is much more likely to proceed, or proceed with pleasant consequences.

Remember you do not have to make a deal. If there is something you don’t like about the situation, if you feel uneasy, maybe it is time to reconsider. Do not purchase unless you really want the home.

When you want to buy your home in Barrie or the surrounding Barrie area Barrie Home Realty.com will help you find the home you want.

Buying your Barrie Home

By BarriehomeRealty.com | October 18, 2007

Once you have chosen the Barrie home you want to buy, or any home in the greater surrounding Barrie area such as Byng Inlet, Georgian Bay, Horseshoe Valley, Kempenflet Bay, we recommend you hire a good real estate lawyer. It could be the best money you ever spend. While we as real estate agents do our very best to ensure the home you buy is as described and the offer to buy is as described we are not lawyers and are therefore not qualified to ensure this in the detail your lawyer can.

Ski Country

By Graham: 705-791-3735 | September 18, 2007

People are thinking about the fall colours of central Ontario as the days are getting shorter. Thanksgiving will be upon us before we know it. Soon after the fall colours have hit the ground we will be waking up to snow. With the snow comes skiing. Barrie Ontario is one of the most unique places in Ontario. You are within minutes of several ski resorts, Horseshoe Valley, Snow Valley and Mount St. Louise Moonstone are just a couple of the options for skiers. Being a resident of the Horse shoe area I am able to ski at will. It is a normal day to finish work in Barrie, drive home, but on the way stop and have a few… runs that is, and then a 5 minute drive home.

There are many advantages to living in Ski country. The magnificent country vistas of rolling hills and deep valleys can transform your thoughts from work to pleasure within a moment. The other beauty of living this way is the great housing in ski country. Surprisinly houses are available at very economical prices in these areas. It is possible to purchase a home in Horseshoe Valley that would rival some of Toronto’s most prestigious homes, for a fraction of the cost. This is what some intuitive people have taken advantage of. Working in Toronto is still possible from this location by either driving a little over an hour to work or buying a small condo in Toronto and spending the odd night there. Really if you have a nice home in Toronto you could sell it, buy a home in ski country that would rival your old home in the city, buy a small condo in Toronto and still have money in the bank! And to boot a great relaxing life style… how good is that?
