90. <p>BrüMate’s <a href="https://www.brumate.com/pages/era-series" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Era straw tumbler</a> is more or less a minimalist doppelgänger (#alloftheumlauts) of the exalted Stanley. Still, we’re not going to tease you with it — they, too, are sellouts (though they’re taking preorders). Rather than wait, you’d do well to consider the Rotera instead. Offered in 15 or 35 oz. models, this form-follows-function design doesn’t just look good: it has a retractable “twist-to-sip” straw that raises without needing to touch the tip, sparing you whatever viral flavor of the week is getting passed around the neighborhood. Even better, its BevGard<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> technology keeps those cubes solid for 24 hours or more — ice, ice, baby.</p>

101. <p>Meet the Porter. It’s downright adorable, sounds like that fancy fashion delivery service, and it has all the right moves. With a vacuum-insulated, double-walled stainless steel core, this 20 oz. number has a ceramic coating that ensures its contents never touch bare metal, keeping it all tasting like it’s supposed to. A plush silicon sleeve that feels like those grippy pencils from kindergarten ensures it won’t slip out of your hands without a fight, plus it adds a bit of cushion if it ever does. Opt for the straw lid, or stick to the OG design if you’re not about that life. Also: Terrazzo.</p>

112. <p>Aside from being the most fun-on-the-tongue brand name on this list (which also sounds the most like our own), Corkcicle also makes a handsome line of 25, 30, and 40-ounce insulated straw tumblers that are easily some of the sleekest on this list. With its triple insulation, spill-proof lid, and flexible, ceramic-coated silicone straw that bends to your needs, these bad boys understand the assignment.</p>

235. <p>This Brazilian textile hammock looks good inside or out. Handmade in Ceará, along Brazil’s Atlantic Coast, it’s available in blue and green-stripe designs, and when it’s not in use rolls right up into a neatly-packed cylinder — the loop doubles as a handle for easy toting. It even comes with a wall hook.</p>

336. <p>The sport traces its origins to the Pacific Northwest in 1965, where three fathers invented it from various pieces of equipment they had from different sports to keep their kids busy.</p>
337. <p>The combination made too much sense: Pickleball is best described as giant ping pong played on a mini-tennis court using paddles and a bright, wiffle-like plastic ball.</p>
338. <p>Unlike tennis, there’s a no-volley zone up at the net, and doubles partners tend to move in parallel, making it inherently socially distanced and therefore perfect for the pandemic. That may be why its popularity grew by 21.3% from 2019 to 2020, according to the <a href="https://www.sfia.org/reports/949_Pickleball-Participation-Report-2021">Sports &amp; Fitness Industry Association’s 2021 Topline Participation Report</a>.</p>
339. <h3>It’s of the moment—but it’s here to stay.</h3>
340. <p>While most pickleball players can tell you that it’s one of <a href="https://usapickleball.org/">the fastest-growing sports in America</a>, what they should add is that it’s also the friendliest. A proper, dedicated court is about ⅓ the size of a tennis court, so you don’t have to run yourself ragged sprinting for balls—and if you get smacked by your opponent’s ball, the only thing it’s likely to bruise is your ego.</p>
341. <p>There are more than 30,000 courts all over the country, many of which are public. You can look them up on the <a href="https://www.places2play.org/">USA Pickleball Association’s Places2Play site</a>,  where folks of every age and ability can join the some 4.2 million players in the game (and counting).</p>
342. <h3>It’s a lifestyle.</h3>
343. <p>Pickleball enthusiasts are choosing to live near the courts of their dreams, lobbying city councils to convert underused tennis courts, or building courts in their backyards.</p>

345. <p><a href="https://www.corcoran.com/real-estate-agents/beth-cole/18217/regionId=2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beth Cole</a>, a sales associate at Corcoran’s <a href="https://www.corcoran.com/florida-real-estate/neighborhoods/palm-beach" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palm Beach</a> office, first learned to play in the Seattle area 30 years ago and helped campaign for courts at the club near her summer home in western North Carolina. She has invited many family members and neighbors to play on her home court in Palm Beach, FL.</p>
346. <p>“The best thing about pickleball is how quickly someone can pick it up if they are reasonably coordinated,” said Cole. “I introduced clients of mine to pickleball in our driveway, and they enjoyed it so much they got their condo building to build courts.”</p>
347. <p>The most appealing part of the sport, however, might be how easy it is to throw banter across the small court, and all the social interactions you have with people you might not otherwise meet. “It’s one of the few sports which appeals to players of all ages, and men and women can match up competitively. We have a lot of fun mixing up groups and it’s fun for everyone,” Cole added.</p>

412. ]]></description>
413. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>What&#8217;s in the bag: The Essentials</h2>
414. <ul>
415. <li>14 Clubs</li>
416. <li>(At least) Six golf balls: If you&#8217;re golf game is a little loose like mine, maybe keep your stash 50/50 between new and used. Personally, any fewer than six balls in my bag and I&#8217;m dripping sweat while clutching my driver.</li>
417. <li>Three headcovers for woods and hybrids</li>
418. <li>A dozen or so tees</li>
419. <li>One golf glove</li>
420. </ul>
421. <h2>Accessories</h2>
422. <ul>
423. <li>Bag tag with your name: It certainly helps at the bag drop, especially for group outings).</li>
424. <li>2 towels: a big one for clubs and a small towel to keep in your back pocket for the green is handy on dewey mornings.</li>
425. <li>Divot repair tool</li>
426. <li>Ball marker: if you don&#8217;t have a lucky coin by now, you&#8217;re doing it wrong.</li>
427. <li>Mini-Sharpie: Or else how will you truly know if it&#8217;s <em>your</em> Pinnacle in the fairway?</li>
428. <li>Protective pouch: For watches or other items that could scratch when in a golf bag.</li>
429. </ul>
430. <p>&#8211; Driver adjustment tool</p>
431. <h2>First Aid</h2>
432. <ul>
433. <li>Sunscreen</li>
434. <li>Lip balm (especially for the desert or mountain courses)</li>
435. <li>Band-Aids (for blisters)</li>
436. <li>Bug Repellent</li>
437. <li>Bottle (or travel pack) of painkillers</li>
438. <li>Packaged foods (nothing that will spoil)</li>
439. </ul>
440. <h2>Foul weather preparedness</h2>
441. <p>Optional depending on the season and forecast. If you don&#8217;t want to keep it all in your bag, consider keeping these items together in a smaller, easy-to-access bag.</p>
442. <p><strong>Wet weather</strong></p>
443. <ul>
444. <li>Set of rain gloves</li>
445. <li>Rain club cover</li>
446. <li>Rain jacket</li>
447. <li>Pair of rain pants</li>
448. <li>Umbrella (This is the subject of much debate: I say for links or cart golf, you don&#8217;t need it, but if walking a parkland, yes).</li>
449. <li>Waterproof baggie: Good for valuables, phones, wallet, etc.</li>
450. </ul>
451. <p><strong>Cold weather</strong></p>
452. <ul>
453. <li>Set of winter gloves</li>
454. <li>Under shirt or arm warmers</li>
455. <li>Jacket</li>
456. <li>Handwarmer packs</li>
457. <li>Wool cap that covers the ear</li>
458. </ul>
459. <h2>Social golf novelties</h2>
460. <p>These items are particularly useful for social golf and buddies trips.</p>
461. <ul>
462. <li>Koozie: We don&#8217;t condone &#8220;packing in&#8221; your own booze but B.Y.O.Koozie is essential.</li>
463. <li>Insulated Cup: Yeti and Tervis do good work.</li>
464. <li>Softcover cooler bag: Some courses provide their own, but many don&#8217;t.</li>
465. <li>Pack of business cards: Because you never know who you&#8217;ll be paired up with.</li>
466. <li>Some cash in small bills. For tips, beverage cart and bets.</li>
467. <li>Bottle opener</li>
468. </ul>
469. <h2>Tech</h2>
470. <p>Now we are getting into some novelty items, some of which can cost as much as your driver.</p>
471. <ul>
472. <li>Bluetooth Speaker</li>
473. <li>Rangefinder (or wearable GPS unit).</li>
474. <li>Mobile Swing analyzer/trackman: In some cases, this could simply be an app on your phone.</li>
475. <li>GoPro and selfie stick</li>
476. <li>Portable phone charger or Extra USB cord for golf cart: More and more golf carts are installing USB outlets, but I&#8217;ve realized it&#8217;s pointless if you leave your USB in the car.</li>
477. <li>Driving range training aid: The Orange Whip seems to be a pretty common sight these days in golf bags, or alignment sticks.</li>
478. </ul>
479. <h2>Alright, be That Guy if you must and pack:</h2>
480. <ul>
481. <li>Iron covers: But seriously, I think they&#8217;ll be fine without them.</li>
482. <li>Ball retriever: If you&#8217;re using one, you probably don&#8217;t even play new balls to begin with.</li>
483. <li>More than 14 clubs: Because aren&#8217;t 14 enough?</li>
484. <li>Banana: Be warned, everyone forgets about the banana in the golf bag.</li>
485. </ul>
486. <p>Lastly, we all have a few items we keep in our bag that are rare. Whether they are personal medical, nostalgic or miscellaneous. Personally, I keep a collapsible dog dishes and poop bags in mine since my munis allow dogs.</p>
487. <p>So, let&#8217;s check in on the weight of my now that my LS is fully packed (perhaps absurdly so) for my next round:</p>
488. <p>Weight empty: 3.5 lbs.<br />
489. Weight fully-loaded: 23.6 lbs.<br />
490. Carry weight: 19 lbs.</p>
491. <p>Okay, That should do it. That&#8217;s all you need to play a round of golf.<br />
492. What did I miss?</p>

1134. in 2022As another avenue to expand the way we grow as a team and also the service reach we have into the community we are starting an <strong>Agent Ambassador program.</strong></p>
1135. <p>An agent ambassador will be someone who wants to be a licensed REALTOR OR is working towards their license but isn&#8217;t in the right position to be a full-time agent.</p>
1136. <p>You will receive training and guidance from our experienced team as you begin referring business to the team for compensation.</p>
1137. <p>Lots more details are necessary in a program like this which is why we are inviting any interested person to attend a one hour one on one Zoom informational meeting.</p>
1138. <p>There is no obligation and nothing is required from you aside from an hour of your time.</td>

1497. <h2 style="text-align: center;">The race is on to grab a piece of real estate’s next frontier. Should you lace up your running shoes and venture into the metaverse?</h2>
1498. <p style="text-align: center;">Every single day, it seems that someone somewhere out there is talking about the metaverse. Revered media institutions, Twitter users with Bored Ape Yacht Club avatars, tech billionaires: the metaverse is at the top of all of their minds.</p>
1499. <p style="text-align: center;">But what about you? You’re not <em><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/search?query=metaverse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a></em>, Paris Hilton and Jimmy Fallon having an <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/danidiplacido/2022/01/25/awkward-moment-between-paris-hilton-and-jimmy-fallon-shows-the-absurdity-of-nfts/?sh=6ef42eff6ade" target="_blank" rel="noopener">awkward conversation</a>, or <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mark-zuckerberg-and-sweet-baby-rays-bbq-sauce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">barbecue sauce fanatic</a> Mark Zuckerberg. What does the metaverse mean to you, presumed real estate enthusiast perusing Corcoran’s official blog?</p>
1500. <p style="text-align: center;">Things have only continued to accelerate since the last time we touched on the <a href="https://inhabit.corcoran.com/how-cryptocurrency-is-opening-a-stake-in-real-estate/">intersection of cryptocurrency and real estate</a>—due in no small part to Zuckerberg’s <a href="https://about.fb.com/news/2021/10/facebook-company-is-now-meta/">October announcement</a> that Facebook would henceforth be a metaverse-focused company called Meta. As prices skyrocket and people throw around phrases like “land boom,” it bears asking: Is it actually worth it to invest in metaverse real estate?</p>
1501. <p style="text-align: center;">While it’s perhaps the most wishy-washy response imaginable, the answer is maybe—but also, maybe not. This entire space can be confounding and, at times, maddening: In May 2021, a virtual version of the Gucci accessory “Dionysus Bag with Bee” <a href="https://hypebeast.com/2021/5/virtual-gucci-bag-roblox-resale">sold for more than its real-life equivalent</a> by almost $800. Make that one make sense. Thus, it’s best to get a clear picture of things before emptying your savings into the void.</p>

1506. <div class="wpb_wrapper">
1507. <h3 style="text-align: center;">Get Well-Metaversed</h3>
1508. <p style="text-align: center;">If you’ve made it this far but still feel lost, a metaverse is a shared virtual world focused on social connection. Work, play, education, commerce: all have potential applications in this (maybe) brave new world.</p>
1509. <p style="text-align: center;">Some of the more popular metaverses currently available to would-be users are video game-adjacent platforms like <i>Decentraland </i>and <i>Sandbox</i>. They have economies and ecosystems that revolve around distinct cryptocurrencies. Essentially, each is a three-dimensional digital city where people’s avatars live and interact.</p>
1510. <p style="text-align: center;">Such that they are, these games have no actual objective other than to create, share, and explore plots of virtual land, bought and sold as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). You may have heard of NFTs in the art world fetching exorbitant prices at auction; the general concept is the same in virtual real estate. Every NFT is a distinct entry on the blockchain, a digital ledger that transparently tracks and verifies transactions. That real estate NFTs are one-of-a-kind, combined with hard caps placed on the amount of virtual land in existence, makes them scarce commodities. And what industry knows more about turning scarcity into lucrative dollar value than real estate?</p>
1511. <p style="text-align: center;">Soon after the Facebook-to-Meta name change, the trade value of <i>Decentraland’s</i> native cryptocurrency MANA increased 662% to $5.79 per token. If you think that’s a lot, <i>Sandbox’s </i>SAND went up 748% to a high of $8.40. Late in November 2021, a plot of land was purchased in <i>Sandbox</i> for <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/currencies/metaverse-property-sandbox-virtual-real-estate-deal-record-4-million-2021-11">$4.3 million</a>, shattering the previous $2.4 million record for virtual real estate sales set earlier that same month.</p>
1512. <p style="text-align: center;">A storied international auction house <a href="https://www.sothebys.com/en/articles/next-stop-the-metaverse">launched a virtual gallery</a> in <i>Decentraland</i>—a replica of its London HQ—where a yellow ape and a dog wearing a hat greet you at the door. Elsewhere, <a href="https://medium.com/sandbox-game/the-sandbox-partners-with-snoop-dogg-to-bring-legendary-rapper-into-the-metaverse-e064e866ed40">Snoop Dogg partnered with <i>Sandbox</i></a> to build a mansion, exhibit his personal NFT art collection, and host general virtual merriment.</p>
1513. <p style="text-align: center;">Sound excessive? Well, yeah, the whirlwind hype around the metaverse is making everything about it a bit excessive these days.</p>
1514. <div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " style="text-align: center;">
1515. <div class="wpb_wrapper">
1516. <h3>There’s Coin in Them Hills</h3>
1517. <p>Seemingly, the tune of the metaverse real estate world has tilted far from “let’s create together” territory into the “money: it’s nice to have” domain. Prices have soared, yes, but the potential return on investment is sizeable. Some have speculated the metaverse could grow to a $30 trillion industry, the next step in the technological lineage of personal computers, web browsers, smartphones, and apps. Who wouldn’t want a slice of that pie?</p>
1518. <p>But how does the pie get baked so the crust is perfect and the filling is scrumptious? Or rather, what the hell do you do with a piece of virtual real estate? Don’t overthink it: The most straightforward route to take is to treat your digital property like it’s analog.</p>
1519. <p>Creating the gravity-defying château of your dreams is definitely a tempting proposition, but probably not a practical or money-making one. Instead, to really make the most of things, you’d work with an architect to figure out your exact build. Then, you’d bring on 3D renderers and developers to translate that vision into a living, breathing, interactive entity. The benefit of the digital medium here is that, without the worry of inspections, zoning laws, strenuous manual labor, supply chain issues, inclement weather, etc., the time from conception to completion is shortened significantly.</p>
1520. <p>From there, consider the approach of Tokens.com—a blockchain technology company <a href="https://www.tokens.com/">dedicated to metaverse real estate and NFTs</a>. Tokens is building a complex the company hopes will generate massive revenue from office leases, event space, and advertising from brands looking to capitalize on metaverse growth. If it sounds boring, take note that the place will look like what <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2022/01/01/virtual-property-prices-are-going-through-the-roof"><em>The Economist</em> describes</a> as “a cross between a nightclub in Ibiza and the Bellagio resort in Las Vegas.” In effect, Tokens will become the metaverse equivalent of everyone’s favorite kind of people: landlords.</p>
1521. <p>Or, just sit on the parcel and wait for its value to appreciate before selling for a massive profit. As of writing, the cheapest plot available in <i>Decentraland</i> is 4,175 MANA ($10,187), while the average price of a plot in <i>Sandbox</i> increased nearly $10,000 as of December 21. Given all that, flipping your asset doesn’t exactly seem like too bad a strategy. Unless, of course, the metaverse remains a niche that never achieves mass adoption, major companies sunset their products in the space, and your investment becomes beyond worthless to the point you take a substantial loss. Wait, what?</p>

1532. <div class="wpb_wrapper">
1533. <h3>Metaverse Averse</h3>
1534. <p>Pardon the pseudo-philosophy, but “the” metaverse does not actually exist yet. There’s no single entity like how we refer to the Internet. <i>Decentraland</i>, <i>Sandbox</i>, and the like don’t overlap. Neither do VR apps like Meta’s Horizon Worlds or Microsoft’s Mesh. Considering how corporations generally behave, it’s difficult to envision them or any organizations coming together in a mutually beneficial agreement where none triumphs over any other. When you invest today, you’re not so much opening a stake in the future of digital real estate as you are in the future of a specific company’s technology and marketing.</p>
1535. <p>Proponents of the space tend to tout purchasing land in the metaverse as the equivalent of buying up a spot on the <a href="https://www.corcoran.com/nyc-real-estate/neighborhoods/upper-east-side">Upper East Side</a> when it was still all farms and wetlands. Except there are multiple Upper East Sides in this case, so you better make sure you bet on the correct one. Though the respective values of MANA and SAND haven’t crashed to zero, they have gradually fallen to $2.44 and $3.19 as of writing after their late 2021 surges. Is that part of the natural, highly unpredictable cycle of the market? Or is it emblematic of a slow, inevitable drip to the bottom?</p>
1536. <p>The question of mass adoption is undoubtedly crucial. Will the general public perceive the metaverse as the new frontier of social interaction or pay it as much mind as the ill-fated Google Glass? Given that the barrier for entry to some of these standalone metaverses has drastically increased in the form of rising real estate prices—though the games themselves are often free to play—people may simply not buy in.</p>
1537. <p>In our prior piece, we stated that the idea of “location, location, location” being a driver of value was irrelevant when it came to real estate—this has been proven to not be entirely accurate. After all, a <i>Sandbox</i> user dropped $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg’s <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/sandbox-decentraland-virtual-land-sales-soar-metaverse-nfts-1267740/">next-door neighbor</a>. Lately, it appears that if your nonfungible chunk of metaverse isn’t near to something notable, investing may not be worth your time and money.</p>
1538. <p>Reports of activity in <i>Decentraland</i> suggest that not much is going on outside its main hub. However, even that central area was <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/metaverse-land-rush-illusion/">described by <em>Wired</em></a> as more akin to a movie set than an actual bustling neighborhood—all style, little substance. You’re incredibly likely to stumble across idle avatars, the digital representation of a user who forgot to turn the game off before leaving to do something more exciting. If there’s limited participation from the people who are supposed to provide the engagement that entices the brands and advertisers that bring in the money for property owners… let’s just say the situation doesn’t exactly sound ideal.</p>
1539. <p>There’s an inherent danger involved in any sort of investment venture. Still, the risk feels even more pronounced when cryptocurrency is concerned. Notoriously volatile, the crypto market rises and falls and rises ad nauseam, seemingly on a whim. Combine that with a nascent space that has yet to actually prove its value proposition, and perhaps metaverse real estate isn’t the breakaway slam dunk it’s hyped up to be. The path appears clear, but for all you know, you could accidentally hit your head on the rim on the way up.</p>

1551. <h3 style="text-align: center;">Here We Are in the Future?</h3>
1552. <p style="text-align: center;">If you’re still feeling like this whole metaverse real estate thing is for you, please be smart about it. Diversifying may prove to be critical. Republic Realm—one of the <a href="https://www.republicrealm.com/">foremost metaverse investors</a>—is active in over 20 digital worlds. Put all your eggs in one basket, and you run the risk of being left with not much beyond a sad avatar holding an empty sack of money.</p>
1553. <p style="text-align: center;">At the end of the day, these virtual worlds we’ve been discussing are akin to games, and games have limited life cycles. Inevitably, people will get bored and move on to something else; it’s the nature of things. There will come a day sooner rather than later when you no longer see dozens of <i>Wordle</i> results being shared across your social media feeds.</p>
1554. <p style="text-align: center;">Instead of striving to become the next great virtual land baron, an alternate method to metaverse madness could be investing in the companies putting resources into this digital frontier. Nothing bad ever happened to anyone who invested in the stock market, unless you count Meta’s recent $230 billion dip in market value—a record one-day loss for a U.S.-based company.</p>
1555. <p style="text-align: center;">On the other hand, one could argue that constant new development, the ability to attend events like concerts, and burgeoning e-commerce will keep metaverse platforms in a state of perpetual freshness. Time will tell. We’re becoming more digitally-minded every day—why can’t the metaverse be the next technological leap?</p>

1585. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to investments, you will be hard-pressed to find a safer or more successful vehicle than real estate. It&#8217;s one of the few things you can buy that will almost certainly appreciate in value over time. In fact, housing prices have been climbing steadily. If you purchased a house in 2000, you could likely sell it in 2022 for twice as much. </span></p>
1586. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is excellent news for anyone who bought their property even a few years ago. Of course, one of the ways to maximize your purchase is to find renters, even if it&#8217;s just one room in the house. The regular income you receive can cover the cost of your mortgage and then some, which builds up your nest egg even further.</span></p>
1587. <h3>Maximizing Your Investment</h3>
1588. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That&#8217;s why countless homeowners converted basements, top floors and other parts of their homes into rental units. It helped with the monthly household costs and increased the value of the property.  </span></p>
1589. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While renting part of your home or owning multiple properties could be a great way to earn extra income, there may be a time when you want to cash out of that investment. Perhaps it&#8217;s time to look for a new property to invest in. Maybe you&#8217;d like to sell the home to fund your retirement or cover the cost of schooling for a career change. </span></p>
1590. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whatever your reason for selling, the timing has never been better. Housing prices soared in 2021 and have increased even more in the first few months of 2022. </span></p>
1591. <p><b>However, if you want to sell a house with tenants, there are a few rules and laws you need to know about.</b></p>
1592. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every landlord should familiarize themselves with the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board. Staying on the right side of the law will protect your investment and save you countless hours of wasted time and headaches throughout the process. </span></p>
1593. <p><b>A few basic guidelines will help keep you in compliance with Ontario law when selling your rental property:</b></p>
1594. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Selling Does Not Void a Written Lease</span></h2>
1595. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As a landlord, you can sell the property whenever you choose. However, you cannot sell the house as a way of evicting a tenant with a written lease agreement. When selling the home, you must advise the potential buyer that there are tenants. The new owner must honour all terms of the lease. In other words, the tenants come with the property. </span></p>
1596. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">You Must Provide Adequate Notice to the Tenant</span></h2>
1597. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a lease expires and is not renewed, it transitions into a monthly term. At this point, you can ask the tenants to leave, but you must provide 60 days&#8217; notice to allow them to secure new accommodations. If you want to wait until you have an offer on the home, you&#8217;ll have to negotiate with the buyer for enough time before the closing date to allow for this notice. </span></p>
1598. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Notice Of Landlord Entering the Premises</span></h2>
1599. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the landlord, you have the right to enter the tenant&#8217;s unit, provided that you give them 24 hours&#8217; notice. This includes giving notice whenever you or the Realtor® want to show the home to potential buyers. Renters must comply with the owner&#8217;s request, but they do not have to prepare the house other than maintaining the basic cleanliness agreed upon in the rental contract. If the showing gets cancelled, you should also notify the tenants. The tenant will often want to be on-site during these walk-throughs, but their presence is not required. </span></p>
1600. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rather than give notice every time you have a showing, you might consider negotiating a set block of time with your tenant that suits everyone&#8217;s schedule. For example, you will showcase the house every Tuesday and Thursday from 2 – 4 pm, unless otherwise notified.</span></p>
1601. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Commit to Selling Before Advising your Tenants</span></h2>
1602. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sharing your thoughts on selling before you are fully ready may hurt you in the end. It can damage your relationship with your tenant and make things awkward if you decide not to sell after all. Preparing a house for the market takes time. There will almost certainly be minor repairs and upgrades you&#8217;ll want to make. If your tenant hears a rumour about a possible sale, they may move out before you&#8217;re ready. Wait until you have the sign on the lawn, then let your tenants know that you will honour your end of the agreement. Be open and honest with timelines once your house is on the market.</span></p>
1603. <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Target the Right Buyer</span></h2>
1604. <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Targeting the right buyer will save you a lot of time when selling an investment property and help you make more money from your sale. A home with a tenant may be a turnoff to a buyer who wants to move their family in right away. The best buyer for your situation may be another investor looking to add to their portfolio. Since up to 25% of all homebuyers are investors, you still have a large pool of buyers to market to. </span></p>

1641. ]]></description>
1642. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a team of passionate Burlington real estate professionals, we know better than most just how fantastically diverse and eclectic our local community is.</p>
1643. <p>With an ever-expanding population of about 185,000 local residents, the City of Burlington is always developing and evolving. And, one of our favourite things to do is explore and re-explore each neighbourhood, community, and pocket of the city that makes Burlington so unique.</p>
1644. <p><strong>If you’re on the search for a new home in Burlington but haven’t settled on exactly where just yet, let our Burlington neighbourhood guides below make the perfect brief introduction for you.</strong></p>
1645. <h2>Downtown Burlington</h2>
1646. <p>Of course, we couldn’t talk about Burlington neighbourhoods without mentioning perhaps the most well-known of them all, Downtown Burlington. This is the picturesque Burlington neighbourhood that&#8217;s scenic waterfront vistas and populous amenities and attractions make it onto the front of most of Burlington’s postcards, billboards, and advertisements.</p>
1647. <p>If you’re used to a big city or want to be close to the action, this is the neighbourhood in Burlington for you. Not only is it one of the most naturally beautiful as it sits right up against the glistening shoreline of Lake Ontario, but it’s comprehensively action-packed too, with just about anything you could ever want or need right at your doorstep.</p>
1648. <p>From the city’s best bars, restaurants, cafes, shopping, and entertainment, along with some of Burlington’s best views, everything is right here in Downtown Burlington.</p>
1649. <p>As far as the homes here go, the landscape is developing at a rapid pace, with a huge number of new lakeside condo buildings having been constructed in the recent past with even more to come, catering perfectly to the smaller family or singles and couple crowd.</p>
1650. <blockquote><p>Coming from out of town? We’ve helped so many newcomers settle into life in Burlington we’ve lost count. If you’d like to learn more about how we can help you do the same, visit our <a href="https://www.karenpaul.com/help-me-relocate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Help Me Relocate page here</a>.</p></blockquote>
1651. <h2>Alton Village</h2>
1652. <p>If you’re a buyer that requires a bit more square footage than a condo in the sky in Downtown Burlington but doesn’t necessarily want to compromise on scenic vistas, then the neighbourhood of Alton Village is for you.</p>
1653. <p>Located up towards the north end of the city, Alton Village is a family-oriented, largely residential neighbourhood that touts sweeping views of the Niagara Escarpment and all of its glorious surrounding green spaces.</p>
1654. <p>This not only offers the perfect natural backdrop, but also a sense of security parents have grown accustomed to when allowing their children to run, laugh, and play outside in the community.</p>
1655. <p>And, with public amenities like the Burlington Public Library, Dr. Frank Hayden Secondary School, and the Haber Recreation Centre close by as well, it has all the makings of one of Burlington’s best neighbourhoods for families. Not to mention also being right next door to Norton Community Park, the largest open green space in the area.</p>
1656. <hr />
1657. <p>If you&#8217;re on the hunt for the best Burlington home for your unique lifestyle, you’ll have a great chance of finding it on our listings pages here:</p>

1661. </ul>
1662. <hr />
1663. <h2>Roseland</h2>
1664. <p>Much like Downtown Burlington, the neighbourhood of Roseland is located right along the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario, though the neighbourhood itself is more of a happy medium between downtown and the more residential, family-friendly area of Alton Village.</p>
1665. <p>Because Roseland is one of Burlington’s older neighbourhoods, this community is known for its sizeable homes and lot sizes despite being located so centrally within the city — right beside Downtown Burlington, in fact. For this reason, Roseland is a perennially desirable neighbourhood for Burlington buyers.</p>
1666. <p>Roseland is also full of historic charm that’s hard to find in other, more recently built neighbourhoods in Burlington too, with many of the neighbourhoods structures constructed back near the beginning of the previous century. Here, you can expect older heritage homes, generously wide streets, ​​and lots of lush greenery including canopy-lined streets and sprawling front lawns.</p>
1667. <p>As for the homes, it’s not all old-world here — there’s a great mix of newly renovated homes in Roseland too to suit the needs of the modern homebuyer. Whatever style of home you’re looking for, the neighbourhood Roseland is a great place to look for larger single-family structures perfectly suited to family life.</p>
1668. <blockquote><p>Eager to find out more about Burlington’s many amazing local neighbourhoods? Visit our <a href="https://www.karenpaul.com/burlington-neighbourhoods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Burlington Neighbourhoods page here</a> for more information.</p></blockquote>
1669. <h2>Aldershot</h2>
1670. <p>Over on the far western border of the City of Burlington is where you’ll find the neighbourhood of Aldershot, another covetable Burlington neighbourhood sat directly atop the shores of stunning Lake Ontario.</p>
1671. <p>As you might’ve guessed, Burlington’s unfettered access to Lake Ontario is one of the city’s major draws for locals and newcomers alike, so it only makes sense the neighbourhoods with the best access to the lake are among the most desirable for buyers.</p>
1672. <p>If you enjoy being close to the water but far from the hustle and bustle of one of Canada’s most rapidly-expanding cities, then Aldershot offers the perfect happy medium right here in Burlington. While this naturally gorgeous community in Burlington’s west end is as far away from the city centre as you can get (while staying lakeside, that is), that’s not to say living in Aldershot is an inconvenience at all.</p>
1673. <p>In actuality, Aldershot is home to many valuable Burlington amenities, including the eye-catching grounds of the Royal Botanical Gardens, the vibrant shopping district along ​​Plains Road West, and even the Aldershot GO Station, which offers convenient public transport services for commuters.</p>
1674. <p>In terms of the homes, there are an enormous variety of types and architectural influences here in Aldershot, many of which date back to the middle of the 20th century. From ranch and cottage-style homes to mid-century bungalows and the like, the choice is yours when living in Aldershot.</p>

1710. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you been wondering whether or not selling your home in the winter is a good idea? From a real estate perspective, listing your home during any time of the year has its advantages and disadvantages, and the winter market is certainly no exception.</p>
1711. <p>While some might urge you to wait and list in the spring, others might tell you the winter market is full of untapped potential. Ultimately, however, the decision is yours to make, and all you should focus on is understanding the pros and cons.</p>
1712. <p><strong>To help you form your own opinions about selling your home in the winter and help you decide on how you want to approach your upcoming sale, here are five things to know about listing in the winter.</strong></p>
1713. <h2>1. The Market Is Slower</h2>
1714. <p>Traditionally, winter isn’t necessarily among the real estate market’s busiest of seasons. When it comes to the sheer amount of activity and transactions, those tend to happen during the spring or fall (if you follow the statistics).</p>
1715. <p>However, that doesn’t mean the winter and summer markets don’t see any activity at all — they’re just generally a little bit slower. And it’s easy to understand why especially during the winter months.</p>
1716. <p>Generally speaking, most homeowners and prospective buyers find that, during wintertime, most of their thoughts are preoccupied with things like the holiday season, taking vacations to warmer climates, and, well, keeping warm. House hunting and moving aren’t usually high up on the list of priorities for most during this time of year, which is why the winter real estate market tends to move noticeably slower.</p>
1717. <blockquote><p>Not sure whether selling your home or renting it out is the better option? We’ve covered everything you need to know about that on our post here: <a href="https://www.karenpaul.com/is-it-better-to-sell-or-rent-your-house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is It Better To Sell Or Rent Your House?</a></p></blockquote>
1718. <h2>2. Fewer Listings = Less Competition</h2>
1719. <p>While the market might be less populated with eager buyers during the winter (not necessarily advantageous for sellers), there <em>is</em> a silver lining. When selling your home in the winter, your listing will also face much less competition from other homes for sale.</p>
1720. <p>Just as there are fewer buyers populating the market at this time of year, there are also fewer sellers listing their homes for sale too. That means those homes that are listed for sale have a greater share of the market and are more likely to receive greater attention from those who <em>are</em> looking to buy.</p>
1721. <p>So, if you’re thinking about selling your home in the winter but aren’t sure if your listing will get the traction it needs in order to sell, the upside is that all you need to do for your home to head to the top of the food chain is to make sure it’s among the most appealing. While that’s certainly easier said than done, it’s also certainly much easier to do so when there are fewer listings competing with yours for the top spot.</p>
1722. <blockquote><p>When it comes to successfully selling your home, timing is everything. Get our insight on the best time to sell by reading our related article, <a href="https://www.karenpaul.com/is-now-the-right-time-to-sell-your-home/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Is Now The Right Time To Sell Your Home?</a></p></blockquote>
1723. <h2>3. Hosting Showings Can Be Messy</h2>
1724. <p>Of course, along with winter comes the season’s messy weather, which is one of the main reasons why most prefer to wait out winter before taking on a move — and to a further extent, visiting any homes.</p>
1725. <p>It’s extremely rare for a real estate transaction to be completed without a buyer visiting a home in person at some stage before the deal is complete. While non-local or international buyers sometimes do purchase properties based on photos, videos, and information online (in addition to their real estate agent’s best judgement, of course), that’s not a situation you should bank on when selling your home in the winter.</p>
1726. <p>The only alternative is to host home showings and private visits from potential buyers throughout the winter, which can get pretty messy considering Ontario’s average amounts of snowfall and precipitation over the winter months.</p>
1727. <p>While this shouldn’t completely deter you from selling your home in the winter, it’s definitely something for sellers to note, and there are a few things you can do to combat the mess. Mandatory shoe and coat removals are a start, as well as diligently cleaning areas near your front door and foyer too.</p>
1728. <hr />
1729. <p>Ensure you receive top value from your home sale by preparing it for success before you list it on the market. Find out what you should do ahead of time here:</p>

1733. </ul>
1734. <hr />
1735. <h2>4. Buyers Tend To Be Serious</h2>
1736. <p>Although the messy winter weather and the generally lower levels of market activity aren’t necessarily ideal, we can once again find a silver lining to selling your home in the winter because of those conditions.</p>
1737. <p>For the most part, we can tell that most buyers actively looking for homes in the winter tend to be more serious about purchasing a home. We call this ‘buyer intent’ in the industry, and it’s something you should pay close attention to when selling your home in the winter.</p>
1738. <p>If a potential buyer is willing to brave the elements and come to visit your home when it’s far less than nice out, it’s most likely that this person has a greater degree of buyer intent. They’ll have done their homework about your listing, made time to book a showing, and will probably want to see your property more to identify any reasons why they shouldn’t buy it rather than be convinced why they should.</p>
1739. <p>During the warmer months when it’s easy to waltz into an open house and it’s less inconvenient to attend a home showing, listings can attract higher numbers of casual, non-serious potential buyers. During the winter, however, these types of tire-kickers don’t really hang around much.</p>

1741. <h2>5. January New-Hires Are Great Buyers</h2>
1742. <p>Once January rolls around in winter, the month doesn’t only signify a new calendar year, but also a new fiscal year too. For many companies, the start of Q1 and the new annual budget plan typically means there are plenty of new hires relocating to their new company’s hometown.</p>
1743. <p>Of course, this means that there will inevitably be many of those newly-hired residents starting their search for new homes to live in within the local area (if they haven’t already started their search before the new year, that is).</p>
1744. <p>Similar to our point above, the new January hires don’t want to waste much time finding a place to live in their new city, especially if they’re relocating with their families. Trust us, there’s only so long you can put up living in a cramped hotel room or temporary rental with your whole family while searching for a more permanent place to live.</p>
1745. <p>This means that come January, all of those new hires will be accompanied by a high level of buyer intent, and that’s a good thing if you’re planning on selling your home in the winter. Not only will this give you the edge in negotiations, but it will also result in a faster transaction.</p>
