One of the best views of Paudash Lake without the taxes! Enjoy beautiful Sunsets sitting on your rooftop patio sipping a cool beverage. Enjoying the privacy that crown land has to offer on two sides. Thinking of a sunset cruise, crown land directly across from this property allows that access. This property is perfect for the outdoor enthusiast with snowmobile, ATV & walking trails at your fingertips! Not into that sort of thing, that’s okay too, a good book cozied up to the airtight woodstove in the basement creates a soothing ambiance while lower heating costs. Sit and enjoy the warm sun on your deck or patio with friends & family. One of the best he/she caves around with a 26×36 heated shop and a bright, beautifully finished loft. The possibilities are endless for this well maintained, spacious Guildcrest home with attached 2 car garage. Updated Roof, high-efficiency propane furnace & hot water tank on 1.45 acres. Come See!!

Welcome to the 2018 Spring Cottage Life Show, what a great couple of days I was able to spend down there, seeing some familiar faces, meeting some new ones and hearing what people are looking for. We have some great listings but also some particular buyers so if you are thinking of selling and taking advantage of what seems to be a sellers market right now, please don’t hesitate to call me. I would be happy to meet with you and go over your options as well as give you a FREE comparative market analysis of your home or cottage. The market is picking up in our area and that’s for both residential and recreational. We are seeing some new listings which is great, and things are gearing up for spring.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Well, it is that time of year again, we are getting ready to go into the Spring market and what better way to get your properties promoted than at the Spring Cottage Life Show 2018. Thousands of people will be there and we can talk individually with people looking for cottages in our specific area. Want to get in on the action, shoot me a text, email or call for your free opinion of value. I will walk you through the entire listing process, what you can expect, how I will market your property and what our brokerage brings to the table to stand out from the competition.

I have over 100 years of experience in waterfront properties at my fingertips and I have grown up and played in this beautiful big backyard of a township. I know the lakes, I know the people and I love this area, who better to market your property than someone who knows it and is passionate about selling it! Building Achievable Luxury Lifestyleit’sts, not just a motto it is a way of life.

We have offices located in Apsley, Lakefield, Norwood, and Peterborough. Come check us out!

You can follow me on social media @ListMoore on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook @ListMooreSellMoore. Your property can be marketed on several social media platforms, the cottage life magazine as well as the Cottag Life Show 2018. Dont wait, lets get started on the next chapter of your life.

Looking at the picture to my left right which was taken just a few weeks ago it is hard to believe we are in January still. We have had some serious spring-like weather the last few days. Going from -47 with the wind chill to plus 9 and dropping back down again. I am sure I am not the only one with sore joints! Currently, we are sitting a bit above freezing which is absolutely blowing my mind and we had a good blast of freezing rain last night and this morning. I am sure the snowmobilers are not happy with this thaw we have had and I don’t blame them! Not sure my horses are either, the barnyard is a bit of an ice rink.

Anyways, this weather has made me think about spring and a few others I am happy to say. Several walks ins this week to the office looking for cottages or homes in the area and with the limited selection of inventory, a few of them are still looking. Which has made me think of the spring market? The 2018 Spring Life Cottage Show is coming up in the next few months, so if you are looking at selling your home or cottage give me a call, maybe we can take advantage of the seller’s market that is upon us. Don’t hesitate, you can ask for a free opinion of value of your property with no obligation to list, but will give you a better idea of the market and you may just be pleasantly surprised. If your not thinking of selling, but you are thinking of buying, make sure to mark on your calendars March 22-25th in Toronto. It is a great spot to see what is out there in cottage country and you can visit our booth! 🙂
Ball Real Estate will be there and ready to answer any of your questions.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

What a season, phew! So many buyers so little on the market for sale. If you are looking at getting in on the fall market while you have a chance give me a call. I would be happy to give you a free opinion of value on your home or cottage. Everyone wants the unicorn listing… you know the one that has prime 3 bed/2 bath water-front, level lot, 4 seasons, drilled well, septic, year round access on a good sized lake that is move in ready and little to no renovations… oh and private?? Well, there are some of those out there for sure, but you may have to expand your horizons and your budget. You may have to re-visit your list again, start ticking of the really important features and go from there, really get down to the nitty gritty.  Maybe some renovation’s are alright? Maybe you could have a slope or steps to the water? Maybe even 1 bath?.

Food for thought 😉

Received this adorable photo from a client, and wanted to put a saying with it or something. Anway I put it out on social meda to see who could come up with the best slogan for this picture and please to announce the winner was Kelli Lackey with “Big or Small Everyone Loves Ball” and I thought, thats it!

What a great picture to share, wonderful clients and they have since moved on to new things. Happy to be part of their transition and to make it possible. #KamaniskegLake #ListMoore #BallRealEstate #CottageTime #WaterFront #HappyLittle #BigOrSmallEveryoneLovesBall

 Well its happening, the Grand Opening of our Apsley office! May 20th from 10am – 3pm you can come out and enjoy some refreshments, a coupon for a free hot dog and drink at the local Lions Club BBQ and you can purchase some raffle tickets for some amazing prizes that have been donated by local businesses.

This is such big news in a little town like Apsley. A new real estate office bringing some fresh new ideas is just the thing we need. List your cottage or home locally, keep up with the big city marketing, drive, knowledge, and experience but with the small hometown feel.

I started with Ball Real Estate just about 2 months ago, and I can tell you that I am so excited for the changes this brokerage brings. I have an amazing work support team with over 100 years of experience in the real estate market at my finger tips. There are some amazing things to learn and even the younger generation brings a unique up to date marketing edge so everyone is learning something new.

We have some great local realtors born and raised who know the area, the lakes and all the ins and outs that the Apsley market brings that are specific to this area. Really looking forward to meeting some new faces, seeing some familiar ones and really getting this new office started out with a great celebration! Mark it on your calendar, make sure you stop in and see what is new!

As a realtor, I have learned that like in most professions there is the good, bad and ugly. I have also learned that there are many resources for my sellers as well as my buyers. I have added a link at the bottom of this post for you to click on and go to the RECO web site which has some great information that may help in your process. I know it has certainly helped in my profession.

You will find the following on this link *5 tips for keeping a cool head in a hot market (which you will find very useful given the recent market change). Also you will find *Multiple Offer Situation, How high should we bid??

Give it a look, you may learn something new.

Till next time
