Reserve Your Slip!

This time next year there will be hundreds of boats tied up at the Trent Port Marina.  Last week, the mayor of Quinte West, John Williams, and other local dignitaries turned the soil on this $12 million project.  See Ernst Kuglin's article for the whole story.

For more information about the Trent Port Marina or to reserve a slip for the 2015 season, contact Lisa Grills at 613.392.2841 ext 4421 or send her an email at lisag@quintewest.ca.

Our goal is to build the branding of this region so anyone who is thinking of relocating to or vacationing in Quinte will easily recognize where we are and what we offer.

CMHC Raises Insurance Premiums

Canada’s national housing agency has increased the cost of insuring mortgages for homebuyers who make down payments of less than 20%. Starting in May, homebuyers will pay an average of about 15% more for mortgage insurance.

Fact: On a $200,000 mortgage, this will increase the premium by $800.
Fact: If you have an accepted Offer to Purchase in place by May 1st and are closing within 120 of that date, you can avoid the increase in premiums.

Give me a call at 613.392.777 or send me an email at david@davidweir.com for more details.

Home Inpectors

One of the most common questions I get asked about Home Inspectors here in Trenton is … 'are they licensed and do they have Errors and Omissions Insurance?' To date, British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are the only provinces that license inspectors but this going to change in Ontario very soon. Stay tuned!
