The Cost of Selling Your Home Without Me Everybody enjoys saving money. Many people figure they can save money by selling a home on their own — without using a real estate agent. However, whether you’re buying or selling, you’re involved in an intricate process requiring many specialists. Here’s a few compelling disadvantages to selling your house yourself: You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know Homeowners selling without the services of a licensed professional are treading murky waters. The truth is that even though we live in the age of information, finding out what your home is worth is not as easy as heading over to Zolo and entering your address. Part of the value that realtors bring to the table is their access to their local board’s MLS data. Every realtor in Windsor-Essex that sells a home listed on MLS is required to enter all sales data for that transaction within days of the sale.

Reborn Walker Power Building to showcase unearthed railroad turntable Read the Windsor Star article below to find out more about the recently-discovered 1880s railroad turntable that will be displayed at the Walker Power Building. Courtesy: https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/reborn-walker-power-building-to-showcase-unearthed-railroad-turntable Brian Cross A recently discovered 1880s railroad turntable will be preserved and put on display beneath a glass floor in the Walker Power Building currently undergoing an $11-million rebirth. Right now, the turntable looks like a Roman ruin unearthed by archeologists, located about six feet beneath the building’s ground floor and sharing the excavated base with the building’s big columns. “This thing here is one of the oldest structures around here, I don’t think there’s anything this old,” structural engineer Piero Aleo of Aleo Associates, a part-owner of Walker Power Building Inc. and quarterback for the project, said Wednesday as he showed off the discovery.

Tougher mortgage rules can’t hold down these 2 Ontario housing markets Year-old federal rules that make it harder to qualify for a mortgage haven’t taken the wind out of the sales in two “resilient” Ontario housing markets while some bigger cities elsewhere in the country have struggled in the policy’s wake. “Markets such as London and Windsor remain tight and have proved resilient to the stricter mortgage stress tests implemented on January 1st, 2018,” writes Marc Desormeaux, a provincial economist for Scotiabank Economics, in a recent report. Those stress tests, which apply to uninsured mortgages (putting down 20 percent means you don’t need to get mortgage insurance), increased the rate at which applicants need to qualify for a mortgage by 200 basis points. BC realtors say the test has made a dent in their markets, industry group Mortgage Professionals Canada has opposed it in its current form, and so has the Ontario Real Estate Association. So what’s helped London and Windsor weather the storm? “I think in both cases they’ve seen…
