6 Smart Things to Do Before You Move
1. Manage packing smartly. For my recent move, I gave myself a daily
box quota to prevent a draining weekend of non-stop packing.
Avoid boxing up your old place in one fell swoop, if you have the
time. Remember, you'll need some energy left to unpack, too.
2. Don't pack your closet. If you use professional movers, ask them to
bring several wardrobe boxes on the day of the move. The movers
take clothing right on the hangers and, woosh, your clothes will be in and out. Bonus: You can
skip a full day of ironing once you're settled.
3. Switch your utilities. This one may seem like a no-brainer, but the timing is key: As soon as you
have a closing date, call the utility companies and set up a service switch. This is especially
important if you're moving into a home that is newly built or previously vacant: Arranging a
maintenance call to re-establish service might be necessary.
4. Make saying goodbye easier. Moving from a home with sentimental value (your kids' growth-
mark notches in the doorframe!) can be gut wrenching. To ease the pain, create a Pinterest
board with things you're excited to do in the new home, like dream decorating or new things
to do in that part of town.
5. Haul the basics before the moving truck comes. If your new place is within driving distance of
your current home, plan to take basic supplies over the day before. Unpacking the bathrooms
in advance and having pyjamas and clothes for the next two days set aside will bring some
normalcy to the chaos of the boxes.
6. Discover the local resources. Take a walk around your new neighbourhood and be sure to
introduce yourself to people you pass by. This is the best way to get a recommendation for a
handy man, neighbourhood favourite babysitter and get to know the lay of the land. If your
life was an ABC Sunday night drama, these meet-and-greets would be peppered with salacious
gossip on the community's comings and goings.

March 3, 2017 -- Toronto Real Estate Board President Larry
Cerqua announced that Greater Toronto Area REALTORS®
reported 8,014 residential sales through TREB's MLS® System in
February 2017. Despite the fact that February 2016 had one more
day due to the leap year day, this result was up on a year-over-
year basis by 5.7% compared to 7,583 sales reported last year.
While the demand for ownership housing grew over the past year, new listings entered into TREB's MLS® System in
February were down on a year-over-year basis by 12.5% to 9,834.

Terminology
Conditional offer: An Offer to Purchase that is subject to
specified conditions, for example, the arrangement of a
mortgage. There is usually a stipulated time limit within
which the specified conditions must be met.
Counter offer: If your original offer to the vendor is not
accepted, the vendor may counter offer. The vendor has
amended something from your original offer, such as price
or closing date. As this new offer varies the terms of the
original offer, this rejects the original offer. If a counter
offer is presented, the individual has a specified amount of
time to accept or reject.
