It was a long and tough decision, but one I am whole heartily excited for and feel great about. It is exciting to be part of a real estate company who is growing so quickly and easily offers support, networking, coaching, and mentorship to top realtors around the world.

I’m ready to make 2020 a great year of change and success. Being a top producing agent in Saskatoon and area, I have been successful through many market changes, and now I can also offer my years of experience and award-winning results to help others in real estate do the same.

Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Clark Dziadyk Shares Why Fall May Be The Best Time To List Your Home

Why Fall is the Ideal Season to Sell Your Home

Clark's Top Tips for Selling in the Fall Saskatoon Real Estate Market

Fall is an ideal time to sell your home, complete with its own set of specific advantages. Read on to learn how you can maximize your real-estate game this autumn.

More Time for Curb Appeal

If your house needs exterior work, fall is the ideal season to sell your home in Saskatoon. Don’t put your house on the market in the spring with these reno projects incomplete. Give yourself the warm weather

months to paint the exterior, x the deck or install a new fence, and don’t try to rush these projects so you can list in the spring. Waiting it out until fall, and having the right curb appeal, might just get you a higher selling price.

Less Competition

Most people list their homes come spring, and that’s a given. By the time autumn rolls around,

most sellers have either sold their place or taken it to other markets. This means less competition in the real estate market. The reduced inventory also means fewer options for buyers, and that can potentially lead to a more competitive price for your home.

Corporate Moves

Employers who need to relocate their workers often wait for the fall, when the market tends to cool down. These out-of-towners will probably need to get through the process quickly, which could mean a relatively speedy closing on your sale.

More Serious Buyer Pool

The best thing about selling your house in the fall is that you’re dealing with a more serious pool of buyers. By the time September or October rolls around, these buyers are

itching to get their move settled. Nobody wants to move in the snow or during the busy holiday season, so potential buyers usually, want to get things signed and sealed as quickly as possible.

Different Demographics

Autumn is when both empty-nesters and millennials begin looking for new properties. Stage your house to appeal to these buyers. Empty-nesters are often looking to downsize, so it’s a good time to sell a condo or a small house. If you have a large three or four-bedroom house, consider staging one of the bedrooms as a home office or TV room to help them visualize how they can use the space. When marketing to millennials, it also helps them see the potential of the space. For instance, with a two or three-bedroom house, consider staging one room as a nursery.

Flexible Market

As you enter the market in fall, chances are good that those still left on the market from spring and summer will be pushing for a sale. If you’re selling in the fall, it likely means you’re also buying something new, and you’ll likely and that those sellers are more willing to negotiate. If you can snag a deal on your new home, you’ll be able to make more strategic decisions in the selling of your old home.

Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Marla Janzen Explains The First Time Home Buyer Incentive

She loves what she does and takes great pride in providing excellence in customer service to all of her clients.

The First Time Home Buyer Incentive

As an award winning Century 21 Fusion Saskatoon Real Estate Agent, Marla knows Saskatoon, Warman and the area extremely well. She takes action in order to sell her client's homes. She strives to find them the perfect new place to live while negotiating the best terms and price possible. She truly loves what she does and she takes great pride in providing excellence in customer service to all her clients. She feels blessed to live in Saskatchewan and she is a TRUSTED SASKATOON REAL ESTATE Agent.

By now you have likely heard about the buzz regarding The First Time Home Buyer Incentive (FTHBI), which will come into effect on September 2nd, for homes that close no earlier than November 1st. The Government of Canada is offering interest-free loans in the form of a shared equity mortgage to help home buyers obtain a smaller mortgage and keep their monthly payments lower. The program will offer 5% for a first-time buyer's purchase of a resale home and 5% of 10% for a first-time buyer's purchase of a newly constructed home.

The incentive can be repaid at any time without penalty, but it must be repaid after 25 years or if the property is sold, whichever comes first. Repayment is based on the property's fair market value. When the loan is repaid, the government will also get a share of any gains from appreciation of the property. Vice versa, if the property value goes down, the government will shoulder some of the loss.

In order to participate in the FTHBI, buyers must meet two main requirements:

# 1 - Be a first-time home buyer

# 2 - Have an annual income of less than $120,000

Buyers will still need to save their down payment of at least 5 percent and the maximum home price is limited to 4 times the buyers qualifying income. Let's look at an example:

Anita wants to buy a new home for $400,000:

Under the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive, Anita can apply to receive the $40,000 in a shared equity mortgage (10% of the cost of a new home) through the program. This is on top of the minimum required down payment of $20,000 (5% of the purchase price) from her savings. This lowers the amount she needs to borrow, and reduces her monthly expenses. As a result, Anita's mortgage is $228 less a month or $2,736 a year.

Years later, Anita has sold her first hoe for $420,000. At this time, she would have to repay the original incentive she received as a percentage of her home's current value. This would result in Anita repaying 10%, or $42,000 at the time of selling her house. -- www.placetocallhome.ca/fthbi

The program will certainly help some first-time home buyers. But it's important to remember although this is an interest-free loan, it is still a loan that will need to be paid back.

Throughout my time with Clark, he has continuously wowed me. Not only as a realtor but also as a person. He is one of the most genuine, decent, selfless human beings I have ever met! From the very first call... which he made to me while he was on holidays within a few hours after my initial email to him... I knew I was in excellent hands. This man definitely picked the right career path. I felt as though he just "got me." Pretty sure he knew which home I was going to pick before I even did. I would be so lost without Clark... things I wouldn't have thought of, he did. His commitment to ensuring due diligence was... wow! He continually kept me updated, he knew what I needed before I did. He's professional, calm (which kept me calm haha,) and he always kept my best interests at the forefront of everything! The end result is I got the house I wanted, at the price I wanted, with a sweet bonus that would have fallen through if it wasn't for Clark! I am so incredibly thankful for him!

Trusted Saskatoon Realtor Marla Janzen Landscaping Tips For Best Curb Appeal

9. Apr 2019 Carrie Saskatoon Real Estate, Trusted Tips

Marla Janzen is an award-winning Saskatoon Realtor she takes action to sell her client's homes and find them the perfect new place to live while negotiating the best terms and price possible. She loves what she does and takes great pride in providing excellence in customer service to all of her clients. Marla Janzen is a Trusted Saskatoon, Warman and area Real Estate Expert listed on the Saskatoon Real Estate Category on the Saskatoon Directory and she loves to provide Saskatoon real estate Tips that help and assist the public!

Her latest tip is about curb appeal and landscaping.

Sprucing Up Your Landscaping Will Increase Curb Appeal and Attract Buyers!

Spring is here, and that means summer and enjoying the warmer weather is right around the corner. Backyards are wonderful spaces for entertaining and cooking, for quiet meditation or simply a source of natural beauty. A well landscaped yard can also increase the resale value of a home.

In recent years, landscaping has become increasingly important. People are traveling less and spending more time at home whether for work or relaxation. Creating an oasis of calm and beauty in the backyard is something to consider if you plan on selling your home.

If you are not sure where to start with your landscaping project, consider the following factors:

The look of your outdoor space should complement the architecture of your home.
If the landscaping design appeals to the average person, it will be easier to sell your home; an obscure design may prevent a sale.
The size and slope of a yard will influence landscaping designs.
Consider a design that requires minimal maintenance; for example, opt for perennials that will come back year after year.

It’s also a good idea to spruce up your existing landscaping before listing your property as well; here are a few tips to get you started:

Add large container plants near your garage door, or front door.
Add a fresh layer of mulch to your garden beds.
Prune any overgrown trees or shrubs.
Tidy up any annuals or perennials that don’t look their best. If a plant is in really bad shape – remove it.
Power-wash any dirty surfaces such as your patio, fence and siding.

Your home will only make one first impression and a well-maintained landscape will make your property more attractive to potential buyers.
