Moving Tips Organization is the Key! They say that moving house is one of the most stressful things in life, but really it doesn’t need to be. Once everything’s agreed and it’s time to start packing, remember that organization is the key. Develop a packing plan whereby you first pack all the items you don’t often need. Be sure to clearly label each box and, even better, make a list of exactly what’s inside the box. Do not pack away important papers or personal belongings that you will need around moving day, and keep a box handy for all the last minute items there are always far more last minute items than you think there will be! http://www.kentearl.ca/report/three-moving-tips

Moving Tips - For a Smooth Move For a smooth move, be sure to plan ahead. If you’re moving to an urban area is there parking for a truck or will you need to reserve a space? If yes, do this in advance and don’t leave it to chance. If you’re moving yourself, have you asked friends or family to help out? Do you have enough helpers and have you thought about renting a dolly for moving heavier items? Remember to have a supply of pizza and pop for your helpers! And before moving day be sure to get all your utility accounts set up such as phone, hydro and cable so they’re all ready for you when you move in. http://www.kentearl.ca/report/three-moving-tips

De-clutter, De-clutter, De-clutter I always recommend that anyone selling their home should first have a major de-clutter before you get to the listing stage. The primary reason for this is that a tidy, clutter-free and clean home is far easier to sell than one that’s filled to the roof with knick-knacks. But there’s also the great feeling you get from donating items you no longer need, or from making a little money on a garage sale. But remember, you don’t have to throw everything out. Buy some packing boxes to pack away items you’re not going to need over the next few months then put them into storage. This way you’ll already have a head start on the packing once you sell. http://www.kentearl.ca/report/three-moving-tips

What is a Buyer’s Market? You may have heard the term buyer’s market being thrown around but you don’t know exactly what it means. Well, a buyer’s market means that real estate market conditions are currently more favourable for buyers than they are for sellers. This often happens when there are more homes listed for sale in Lethbridge than there are buyers looking for a new home. This gives buyers a great amount of choice when looking for your perfect place, plus it gives you a better chance of negotiating a good deal on the purchase price because homes often stay listed for longer in a buyer’s market. http://www.kentearl.ca/report/what-is-a-buyers-market

What is Mortgage Loan Insurance? Mortgage Loan Insurance is one of those controversial costs that many buyers incur when purchasing a home. On the one hand, this insurance allows people with smaller down payments to buy a home in Lethbridge when they otherwise would not qualify, but in so doing they incur the additional cost of purchasing the insurance. All this becomes even more annoying considering that the insurance does not protect you, the buyer; instead it protects your lender against mortgage default. But, having said all this, rules are rules, and mortgage loan insurance is a necessity that protects consumers and lenders and helps keep the economy of the country buoyant. http://www.kentearl.ca/repo/what-is-mortgage-loan-insurance
