Frequently Asked Questions

The Canadian real estate market, particularly in Prince Edward Island (PEI), has been experiencing significant changes. Post-COVID, there was a sharp increase in housing prices, which have not yet returned to their peak but are steadily rising. In PEI, starter home prices now range between $300,000 and $350,000, a substantial rise from a decade ago. This surge in housing costs has outpaced the growth in average household incomes, leading to affordability issues for many, especially first-time buyers. Moreover, the Bank of Canada’s increased interest rates and a lack of housing inventory have further complicated the situation. PEI’s population growth, driven largely by immigration and interprovincial migration, has put additional pressure on the housing market. With housing demand outstripping supply and no evident decline in prices, the outlook for the next few years suggests continued high demand and soaring prices.

With over 25 years of successful experience in the Pine Acres RV group of dealerships, I, Andrew Brown, have honed a deep understanding of customer needs and service excellence in the vacation home sector across Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. This extensive background has provided me with invaluable insights into property values, client relations, and market dynamics. Transitioning into real estate was a natural progression for me, fueled by my passion for the industry and my desire to assist clients in finding their perfect homes. My track record in business, combined with my dedication to family and community, shapes my approach as a Realtor, where I am committed to helping clients find homes that will be the setting for their most treasured memories.

As a realtor, determining the value of a property is a nuanced process where I integrate various approaches and insights. I start with a Comparative Market Analysis, comparing the property in question with similar ones in the area that have been sold, are on the market, or were unable to sell. This helps me understand how the property aligns with current market dynamics. I also delve deeply into local market trends, considering how factors like supply and demand, neighborhood developments, and economic conditions might affect the property’s value. Conducting a thorough property inspection is crucial; it allows me to assess the condition, age, renovations, and unique features that might influence its worth. I leverage real estate valuation tools that provide data-driven insights, incorporating historical sale prices and market trends. Understanding the needs and motivations of my clients is also key, as it informs the pricing strategy. Additionally, I consider legal and regulatory aspects like zoning laws and property taxes, which can impact value. Finally, my professional judgment, honed by years of experience and knowledge of the local market, allows me to synthesize this information and provide a well-rounded, accurate valuation.

As a realtor, marketing a home involves a strategic mix of digital and traditional methods tailored to highlight the property’s unique features and attract potential buyers. I begin by staging the home to showcase its potential, followed by professional photography and videography to capture its essence in the best light. Utilizing online platforms, I list the property on popular real estate websites, our own company site, my site and those of my colleagues, use social media, and our own proprietary Island Real Estate Book, ensuring maximum exposure. I also leverage my network of contacts and fellow realtors to spread the word. Traditional methods like hosting open houses, placing eye-catching signage, and creating attractive print brochures still play a vital role. Throughout the marketing process, I focus on storytelling, emphasizing the lifestyle and experiences the property offers, which resonates with prospective buyers. This comprehensive approach ensures the property reaches a wide audience, increasing the likelihood of a successful and timely sale.

The financial journey of buying and selling a home encompasses various costs beyond the listing price. For buyers, this includes the down payment, typically ranging from 5% to 20% of the home’s price, along with mortgage processing fees. Closing costs, such as attorney fees, title insurance, and inspections, can add up to 2-5% of the purchase price. There are also appraisal fees, property taxes, and possibly homeowners association fees. On the selling side, the primary expense is the realtor’s commission, usually 5% of the sale price, which is split between the buyer’s and seller’s agents. Sellers also face closing costs, including attorney fees and potential capital gains taxes. They might incur additional expenses for home repairs or improvements to enhance the property’s appeal before listing. Both buying and selling a home involve a series of costs that can significantly impact the overall financial picture of the transaction, making it crucial for individuals to plan and budget accordingly.

As a realtor, maintaining open and effective communication with my clients is a cornerstone of my service. I employ a variety of methods to ensure constant and convenient communication, tailored to each client’s preferences. For those who value quick and direct updates, I use emails and text messages, providing timely information and responses to their queries. For clients who appreciate a more personal touch, I regularly schedule phone calls or in-person meetings, creating a space for detailed discussions and a deeper understanding of their needs. I make it a point to check in with my clients regularly. For buyers, this means keeping them informed about new properties that align with their criteria, ensuring they don’t miss out on potential matches. For sellers, I provide regular reports on property viewings, sharing feedback from prospective buyers and presenting any offers in person to discuss and strategize the best way forward. This multifaceted approach to communication ensures that my clients are well-informed, supported, and engaged throughout their real estate journey.
