LACKIE: Think twice before betting against the real estate market

Interesting opinion article published by the Toronto Sun on betting against the real estate market. Brynn Lackie talks about the real estate market. When the lockdown first hit, it seemed incomprehensible that the market would continue. But it did. Buyers came out in droves, competing fiercely with one another and driving prices through the roof. Few could have predicted that Buyers barely missed a beat. The world shut down and they simply found themselves masks and gloves and asked when they could get into see properties they saw potential in. It was astounding. What do you think? Let me know! https://bit.ly/2TAzao1

Dream home becomes nightmare for Ontario family who passed on home inspection

CTV News published a story about a family who waived a home inspection. 𝐍𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 💲💲💲. Leigh Gate, president of the Ontario Association of Home Inspectors, said in a hot real estate market, buyers may be asked to waive an inspection, but he said doing so can be extremely risky. He also said it’s a “big red flag” when sellers want to waive a home inspection. Lisa Song said they had to install water holding tanks and other equipment in their basement at a cost of $10,000. "It's going to cost me another $120,000 to replace the septic," Song said. "I almost fell to pieces knowing I would have to get a mortgage to fix the septic." Song said there are other bills to repair leaks in the basement, which include installing waterproofing and having repeated visits from experts trying to diagnose problems.
