Buying a house is a major decision of your life. It is not something that you can afford to take lightly. You must be well informed as to how to go about your search for a new home. Finding your dream home can be a stressful process. To understand what to look for, you first need to determine what you can afford, keeping in mind what you desire in terms of space and facilities in your new home. You must perfect the art of negotiating and know how to protect yourself as you move on towards acquiring new property.
When you plan to buy a new home, the best way to get a good deal and avoid hassles involved in buying property suitable to your liking and budget, is to first use the Internet to search for suitable properties, using websites such as www.Novascotia-properties.com, and then when you have found some that interest you use the services of a real estate agent. These agents are affiliated to and work via real estate brokers; without this they cannot conduct real estate transactions. They work on behalf of the broker who stands legally responsible for their professional conduct in the transactions. All listings available with the agent in fact belong to the broker.
Your agent needs to be licensed in Nova Scotia. There is no federal/national license for real estate agents. To obtainin a license, an real estate agent has to successfully pass a licensing examination after having completed hours of instructional training at an accredited establishment.
Real Estate Agents are bound to maintain high professional standards and adhere to a strict code of ethics set by the the Real Estate Board. The quality of services provided in return for what you pay depends on the capabilities of the real estate agent you choose.
When you engage the services of an agent to buy property, they are legally bound to work exclusively in your interest, which includes:
When you buy any property through an agent you pay quite a handsome amount to them as commission, which is built into the selling price of the house. The sale price includes the commission of the listing broker, which is usually 7 percent of the price. Your agent is paid out of this, the agent commission being split between the seller’s and the buyer’s agent. Using services of a real estate agent enables you to glide safely through the haze of offers, counter offers, inspections, amendments etc. with due safeguards to your interests. It can save you from making costly errors while buying your new home.
In recent years For Sale By Owner (FSBO) has become increasingly popular, but be warned, it can proove to be very time consuming and expensive if you don’t use the services of a Lawyer who specializes in Real Estate. It can cost you a fortune if you misrepresent your property. If you go the FSBO route you must consult with your lawyer at every stage if you want to avoid trouble. This will cost you. Only you can make the decision whether to use a lawyer or a real Estate Agent.

TORONTO (Reuters) - The number of Canadians who express an intention to buy a home within the next two years has dropped significantly from last year, according to a Royal Bank of Canada report released on Tuesday, suggesting a slowdown in the housing market.
Overall intentions to purchase a home dropped by five percentage points to 23 percent in the survey.
Respondents who said they were “very likely” to buy fell to 7 percent from 9 percent in 2007. That’s the lowest level since the survey was started 15 years ago, the bank said.
The number of Canadians who would “buy now,” rather than wait until next year was still strong at 52 percent, but down from 58 percent in 2007.
The number of respondents who said that purchasing a home is a good investment was at 85 percent, down from 90 percent in 2007, but still stronger than the 76 percent of 10 years ago.
“While those very likely to buy a home might be at its lowest level in over a decade, we need to keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of Canadians still believe purchasing a home is a good investment,” said Catherine Adams, vice-president of home equity financing at RBC.
The weaker outlook can also be seen in the number of respondents who expected housing prices to rise, at 56 percent, down three percentage points from last year’s 59 percent.
The online survey poll was conducted for RBC by Ipsos Reid between January 17 and 21, 2008 and is based on a randomly selected representative sample of 3,023 adult Canadians. The results are considered accurate to within plus/minus 1.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Reuters announced -
“British Prime Minister Gordon Brown faced a political and public backlash on Monday after his decision to take ailing bank Northern Rock Plc into public ownership, the first UK nationalization since the 1970s.
The government will announce new legislation allowing it to take over Britain’s fifth-largest mortgage lender after rejecting two private sector-led bids on Sunday and ending five months of uncertainty over Northern Rock’s fate.
Even temporary nationalization, however, will carry political and financial risks for a government already tarnished by the debacle, as it links its fate to a mortgage bank at a turbulent time for Britain’s housing market, with home repossessions, bad loans and job cuts all set to rise.”
With the British market heading into a slump, it is even more important to hve extra world wide advrtising if you want to sell your property.

Anyone looking for Canada’s surging real estate market to cool off will have to wait a little while longer, as more price and sales records were broken last month.
The price of an average resale home in Canada’s major markets hit $333,524 in May, according to Multiple Listing Service figures from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).
That’s a jump of almost $10,000 from April and represents an increase of 10.2 per cent from the same month last year.
New price records were set in 11 markets — Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Saskatoon, Toronto, London and St. Thomas, Hamilton-Burlington, Montreal, Quebec City and Halifax-Dartmouth.
The biggest percentage gains continued to be primarily in western cities. Edmonton’s year-over-year price appreciation of 47.3 per cent leads all cities. Saskatoon’s price gain of 44.1 per cent wasn’t far behind.
In terms of price, Vancouver’s average was still the leader, at $591,722, up $27,000 in just one month and up 14.2 per cent from May 2006. Calgary was second, with an average price of $429,298. That’s up $9,000 from April’s average and is 19.8 per cent above levels of a year ago. Toronto was third overall, with an average resale price of $382,689, up 4.7 per cent from May 2006.
News of higher home prices comes on the heels of a series of mortgage rate hikes in the last month that have taken a five-year closed mortgage to 7.44 per cent as of Friday — a five-year high.
With mortgage rates rising, the real estate association predicts that price increases in the second half of the year will slow to single-digit growth. It forecasts that the annual average price will rise by 9.5 per cent in 2007 and 5.5 per cent in 2008.
Many observers foresee similar cooling, as affordability suffers from the double whammy of rising mortgage rates and rising prices. But few see a crash as income growth remains strong and consumers feel confident.
CREA said sales activity hit a new high in May, when 42,039 units were sold. It’s the first time that sales in Canada’s major markets topped 40,000 in a month.
“Activity broke all previous records in the first quarter, and gained momentum in the second quarter,” CREA chief economist Gregory Klump said in a statement.
“The increase in transactions for the year to date suggests activity is on track to set a new annual record this year.
The healthy housing market in Canada stands in contrast to the situation south of the border, where U.S. home prices and sales are falling in many parts of the country, and mortgage foreclosures are running 62 per cent above rates of a year ago.
