Best features of a Waterfront home

Quincy Vrecko, RE/MAX Kelowna’s waterfront specialist, shares some of the best features of a waterfront home.

Owning a waterfront home in the Okanagan offers one of the best lifestyles in British Columbia.  Once a small beach town, now Kelowna and surrounding area is home to some of the most spectacular waterfront homes and luxury properties.

“I have seen some amazing homes in the Okanagan over my career.  When a waterfront home has these 3 features, is sure to impress.  Nothing is better than the living the ultimate Okanagan lifestyle on the water.”  

Here are Quincy’s top 3 picks for the best features of a waterfront home:

 

Dock with boat lift

Most waterfront homes have a dock or the ability to build a dock.  Having your own dock is one of the best perks of owning a waterfront home.  This allows the homeowner the ability to have private moorage so a boat lift is a must.  There are many rules regarding dock licenses, read our recent blog for more information.

Outdoor seating areas

The key to outdoor living in the Okanagan is to have multiple seating areas throughout the property.  This allows the homeowner to have options such as full sun, shade, view of the lake or pool, quiet areas and spaces for large gatherings.  The key is to keep any patio furniture comfortable and easy to care for. This is where you go to relax!

 

Pool or beach house

Whether or not the waterfront home has a pool, a pool house (or beach house) is a must.  A perfect pool house should have a bathroom with a shower and a changing area. This allows the homeowners and guests to get ready for the pool or a swim in the lake without having to go inside the house.  This also keeps sand and water outside!

Like many luxury finishings, the sky’s the limit when it comes to a pool house.  You can include a kitchenette or bar and even a lounging area with TV.

Buying Before Selling Your Home

,

Did you find that perfect home to buy but still have to sell?

When it comes to Buying and Selling Real estate we often get the question, should I be buying before selling my home?

A year ago, homeowners were buying before selling with confidence their home would sell quickly. As the Kelowna real estate market changes from a seller’s market to a more balanced market, homes are taking longer to sell.  So, there are some things to consider if you are buying before selling. New house keys-Quincy Vrecko and Associates

There are risks associated with buying before selling.  The most obvious would be owning two homes. Possibly even carrying two mortgages.  Not only could this be financially staining, but changing market conditions pose a risk.  

To lower the risk when buying before selling, Kelowna Realtor, Tracey Vrecko, suggests making an offer on a home subject to the sale of your existing home, with a time clause…

In simple language……Your offer to purchase would be conditioned upon selling your home.  


So how does this work?

A “traditional” offer is written with all the common terms and conditions.  Then, an additional condition is added to the contract that allows you time to sell your home.  Additionally, Buyer and seller will need to agree to;

A timeframe to sell the existing home (a common time frame is 30 days)

A time to remove this condition, called “time clause” in the event of another accepted offer ( the average is 48 hours)

Stopwatch -Quincy Vrecko Kelowna Real EstateWhat are the risks?

When the offer is accepted, (known as a “time clause offer” or an “offer subject to the sale of”), the home remains on the market and is still available for sale to other potential buyers.

In the event an offer is presented and accepted while your current offer is still active, you will receive a notice invoking the “time clause”.  You will have the agreed-upon time (usually 48 hours) to remove all of your conditions or your offer will be void and the second offer will take effect.  

Sounds complicated…. Not really.

“This is a really good option for buyers looking into buying before selling.  It is the peace of mind that you are not committed to owning two properties at once.”  Says Vrecko.

Buying and Selling real estate can be complicated.  This is one of many examples where hiring a professional real estate agent is important.  A real estate agent can guide you through this process and offer advice to ensure a successful purchase and sale of your home.
