In going through a property’s history, you may find that some homes had once sold for only $1. How is that possible? What does it mean? Was it really only worth $1?! The answer is no, definitely not. I’ll explain why some properties have been sold like that and go over what the tax implications for the sellers are. I will stress that these are nontraditional sales, BUT they still require all the right legal paperwork, so you’ll need to have a real estate attorney as well as a trusted tax specialist or CPA. Do you have any questions? Book a call with me or comment below!

When renovating your property it is important to distinguish the difference between what I like to call “nice-to-have” renovations versus “must-have” renovations. “Nice-to-have” is anything aesthetic that doesn’t bring any real value, and the “must-haves” is the work that is really going to give you return on investment and improve livability for you or your tenants. Listen as I take you through the difference between the two types of work and give some concrete examples so that when it comes time for you to renovate, you can choose wisely and not break the bank for no reason! What’s your “must-have” renovation? Let me know in the comments below!

There are many condo towers in Downtown Montreal, and most of them are co-owned in what is called a divided co-ownership. Listen along as I take you through the ins and outs of how it works.

www.ljrealties.com - Find your Montreal dream home This week I’ll be providing you with a real estate market update for Q1 2023. Compared to Q4 2022, there has been a slight dip in prices for homes and condos. Days on market is up, meaning it has taken longer for people to sell their properties than last quarter. It would appear that the market has returned to what it was before the pandemic. I do believe that Q2 will be strong, especially since interest rates are lower than people expected them to be. Maybe Q2 will be your time to get into the game! What are your thoughts on the real estate market and what are your predictions? Let me know in the comments below!
