The United States, Canada and all other modern industrial economies experience significant swings in economic activity. In some years most industries are booming and unemployment is low; in other years most industries are operating well below capacity and unemployment is high. Periods of economic expansion are typically called booms; periods of economic decline are called recessions or depressions. The combination of booms and recessions, the ebb and flow of economic activity, is called the business cycle. But of all the industries contained in the economic basket of goods and services, real estate market is the one that serves as an indicator and prognosticator of times to come.

Examining the quality and consistency of home inspections.
Province of Ontario, June 2005 Update

In real estate transactions, some things never change. Sellers usually feel they’ve given their house away, buyers believe they’ve paid too much and Realtors fear neither side will ever get to the closing table. There is however, one thing that has been inconsistent in real estate transactions: the quality of the home inspection.

That’s been changing somewhat with the inception of professional home inspection associations. To gain membership, home inspectors typically prove their competency by passing exams, meeting education and experience requirements - and by maintaining a professional service to the public.

Moving from one house to another is always a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Here are some simple tips on how to get it done with minimal stress and strain.

  • Look at all the alternatives: hiring a moving company, for example, versus renting a truck and doing it yourself. Whichever alternative makes most sense for you, get bids from more than one vendor.

  • A few days before the moving company is scheduled to arrive or you’re supposed to pick up your rental truck, call to confirm that everything is on track to happen when it’s supposed to.

Buying a new house is your chance to pick what you really want in a home. While floor plans and square footage are important, take a look at the whole package. That includes the immediate neighborhood, as well as the surrounding community. Be sure to make sure the house has enough storage room. And finally, keep your eyes open for problems so you won’t get an unexpected surprise after signing.

1. The Neighborhood And Community

Where you choose to live is just as important as picking out the actual house. Your location will determine many things, like the home’s value and where your kids go to school.
