California ponders slow growth future (AP) In 1962, when California’s population of more than 17 million surpassed New York’s, Gov. Pat Brown celebrated by declaring a state holiday. In the coming days, when the U.S. Census Bureau is expected to release the state’s latest head count, there probably will be no celebrations. Over the past decade, California’s average annual population growth rate slipped to 0.06%—lower than at any time since at least 1900. The state is facing the prospect of losing a U.S. House seat for the first time in its history, while political rivals Texas and Florida add more residents and political clout. The reality behind the slowed growth isn’t complicated. Experts point to three major factors: declining birth rates; a long-standing trend of fewer people moving in from other states than leaving; and a drop in international immigration, particularly from Asia, which has made up for people moving to other states. California is in the throes of a yearslong housing crisis as building fails to keep up with demand, forcing more people onto the streets and making home ownership unattainable for many. The state has the nation’s highest poverty rate when housing is taken into account. Its water resources are consistently taxed, and the state has spent more than half of the past decade in drought. Freeways are jammed as more people move to the suburbs, and worsening wildfires are destroying homes and communities.

Armenians Celebrate Biden’s Genocide Declaration as Furious Turkey Summons US Ambassador (Newsweek) Armenia celebrated President Joe Biden’s recognition of the massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during World War I as genocide on Saturday, as Turkey summoned the U.S. ambassador and strongly condemned the move. In acknowledging of the deaths of 1.5 million Armenians as genocide, Biden went further than his predecessors in the White House after years of careful language on the issue. The move risks fracturing America’s relationship with Turkey, a longtime U.S. ally and NATO partner. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent Biden a letter praising his statement. Meanwhile, officials in Turkey quickly denounced Biden’s remarks and summoned the US Ambassador to Ankara. In a statement, Turkey said its foreign minister, Sedat Onal, has told ambassador David Satterfield that Biden’s remarks caused “wounds in ties that will be hard to repair.” Onal also reportedly told Satterfield that Turkey “rejected it, found it unacceptable and condemned in the strongest terms.”

Ahead of Geneva talks, Cypriots march for peace (Reuters) Thousands of Cypriots from both sides of a dividing line splitting their island marched for peace on Saturday, ahead of informal talks in Geneva next week on the future of negotiations. With some holding olive branches, people walked in the bright spring sunshine around the medieval walls circling the capital, Nicosia. The United Nations has called for informal talks of parties in the Cyprus dispute in Geneva on April 27-29, in an attempt to look for a way forward in resuming peace talks that collapsed in mid-2017. Prospects for progress appear slim, with each side sticking to their respective positions. Greek Cypriots say Cyprus should be reunited under a federal umbrella, citing relevant United Nations resolutions. The newly-elected Turkish Cypriot leader has called for a two-state resolution. Cyprus was split in a Turkish invasion in 1974 triggered by a brief Greek-inspired coup, though the seeds of separation were sown earlier, when a power-sharing administration crumbled in violence in 1963, just three years after independence from Britain.

World’s Biggest Covid Crisis Threatens Modi’s Grip on India (Bloomberg) As India recorded more than 234,000 new Covid-19 infections last Saturday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held an election rally in the West Bengal town of Asansol and tweeted: “I’ve never seen such huge crowds.” The second wave of the coronavirus has since grown into a tsunami. India is now the global coronavirus hotspot, setting records for the world’s highest number of daily cases. Images of hospitals overflowing with the sick and dying are flooding social media, as medical staff and the public alike make desperate appeals for oxygen supplies. The political and financial capitals of New Delhi and Mumbai are in lockdown, with only the sound of ambulance sirens punctuating the quiet, but there’s a growing chorus of blame directed at Modi over his government’s handling of the pandemic. “At this crucial time he is fighting for votes and not against Covid,” said Panchanan Maharana, a community activist from the state of Odisha, who previously supported Modi’s policies but will now look for alternative parties to back. “He is failing to deliver—he should stop talking and focus on saving people’s lives and livelihoods.” Modi is seen by many as a polarizing leader whose brand of nationalism that promotes the dominance of Hindus has appalled and enraptured the nation. Whether the pandemic will dent his appeal remains unclear.

ASEAN leaders tell Myanmar coup general to end killings (AP) Southeast Asian leaders demanded an immediate end to killings and the release of political detainees in Myanmar in an emergency summit Saturday with its top general and coup leader who, according to Malaysia’s prime minister, did not reject them outright. The leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations also told Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing during the two-hour talks in Jakarta that a dialogue between contending parties in Myanmar should immediately start, with the help of ASEAN envoys. Daily shootings by police and soldiers since the Feb. 1 coup have killed more than 700 mostly peaceful protesters and bystanders, according to several independent tallies. The messages conveyed to Min Aung Hlaing were unusually blunt and could be seen as a breach of the conservative 10-nation bloc’s bedrock principle forbidding member states from interfering in each other’s affairs. But Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said that policy should not lead to inaction if a domestic situation “jeopardizes the peace, security, and stability of ASEAN and the wider region” and there is international clamor for resolute action.

Sunken missing Indonesian submarine found broken into pieces (Reuters) A missing Indonesian submarine has been found, broken into at least three parts, at the bottom of the Bali Sea, army and navy officials said on Sunday, as the president sent condolences to relatives of the 53 crew. Navy chief of staff Yudo Margono said the crew were not to blame for the accident and that the submarine did not experience a blackout, blaming “forces of nature”. A sonar scan on Saturday detected the submarine at 850 metres (2,790 feet), far beyond the Nanggala’s diving range.

At least 82 die in Baghdad COVID hospital fire (Reuters) A fire sparked by an oxygen tank explosion killed at least 82 people and injured 110 at a hospital in Baghdad that had been equipped to house COVID-19 patients, an Interior Ministry spokesman said on Sunday. “We urgently need to review safety measures at all hospitals to prevent such a painful incident from happening in future,” spokesman Khalid al-Muhanna told state television, announcing the toll.

Struggling to stay afloat during the pandemic, people turn to strangers online for help (Washington Post) The pandemic has been disastrous for millions of families across the United States. Roughly 8.5 million jobs have not returned since February 2020. Meanwhile, more than 564,000 people have died of the coronavirus, and 100,000 small businesses closed permanently in just the first three months of the crisis. The government has provided help, including through multiple relief packages that sent out three rounds of stimulus checks and extended unemployment benefits. But for many people it hasn’t been enough—or come quickly enough—to avoid eviction, put food on the table and cover a growing pile of monthly bills. Enter crowdfunding, which has taken off more than ever in the past year as a way to supplement income. Sites like GoFundMe, Kickstarter or even Facebook allow people and businesses to establish a cause—or set up a page laying out why they (or someone they are raising the money for) need money, and what the cash will go toward. After demand spiked last year, GoFundMe in October formalized a new category specifically for rent, food and bills. More than $100 million had been raised at that time year-to-date for basic living expenses in tens of thousands of campaigns during 2020—a 150 percent increase over 2019. But a year into the pandemic, some individual crowdfunding campaigns are reporting little success raising donations to cover basic expenses. As pandemic fatigue worsens, it’s getting hard to raise cash for basic expenses this way. Daryl Hatton, CEO and founder of FundRazr said when he browsed through the campaigns for basic expenses, most were getting little or no donations. “I saw a whole bunch of zeros,” he said. Crowdfunding still tends to work best when people have a compelling story to tell.

Older people are the one group egalitarians discriminate against (Quartz) Young people have always been critical of their elders. What’s noteworthy about the way millennials and Zoomers talk about Baby Boomers today isn’t their disdain but its particulars: They resent the older generation because they feel shortchanged, deprived of promising futures. Gen Z, for example, famously channeled their frustration with the generation they hold responsible for issues like climate change and wealth inequality into the simple, sarcastic meme “OK boomer.” Vaccines aside, these economic frustrations are grounded in reality. At the same time, younger people’s systemic objections to the distribution of wealth and power in the US can wind up curdling into ageism. A new paper, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, highlights the importance of guarding against this bias. Over 80% of Americans between the ages of 50 and 80 say they experience ageism in their everyday lives, according to a 2020 poll from the University of Michigan. “I think many people overlook ageism as a form of prejudice in American society,” says Ashley Martin, an assistant professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University, who co-authored the paper with Michael North, an assistant professor at New York University. “It is often overlooked as an “ism” altogether, not only being condoned but often even promoted.” The paper identifies a surprising link between ageism and egalitarianism. The more participants in the study supported the principle of equality for all, the more likely they were to be biased against older people.

Condos usually make an appealing investment opportunity. And rightfully so. Condos often are priced lower than single-family homes in the Canadian market.

Tips for Buying Real Estate for Investment in Oakville, Ontario

Buying properties in Oakville can be an overwhelming experience if you are a beginner. When it comes down to smart investing in real estate, one must do so much more than just making a down payment. It takes trade know-how, investing proficiency, initial capital, and a whole lot of patience to buy properties in Oakville.

The real estate market in Canada is on a roll right now. Even after the aftermath of one of the deadliest pandemics, the Canadian real estate market is heating up. And it’s not only the urban centres that are experiencing this demand. Rural communities across the country are also creating a buzz in today’s economic scenes.

A number of Canadians invest in real estate for long-term gains, e.g., buying luxury homes for sale in Oakville Ontario to rent them out and pay the mortgage. And once they retire, it becomes a holiday home or maybe a bed and breakfast. On the outside, buying a property for investment purposes seems all jazzy and a superb idea, but like any other decision some pros and cons come with it. That’s why it’ advisable to connect with a real-estate broker to weigh in all the options before you shell out your hard-earned money.

If you are eyeing Oakville luxury homes that are up for sale, you must have thousands of questions in your mind. This article entails a few important tips that every prospective property owner must focus upon. Whether it’s those luxury homes for sale in Oakville, Ontario or commercial properties for sale in Oakville, you need to check all these tips to make sure that your decision proves to be a monetarily fruitful one.

1. Do your Math Properly- Real Estate Investment is a Math, Keep your Emotions Aside

We all are currently obsessed with granite counters and bamboo floors and the aesthetic pleasance these bring to a home. However, when it’s about buying a property for an investment purpose, how much profit are these going to make is the question. Just imagine how much they add to the monthly rental you’d make. If there is one thing real estate beginners must understand is that it all boils down to numbers and nothing else. What’s eh cost of the condo? How much tax would be paying for buying houses for sale in Oakville Ontario? Is there a maintenance cost involved? These are the questions you need to read through and get answers to before rushing into buying a house just because- oh, it’s so pretty! An experienced mortgage agent with deep industry know-how will guide you through the profit-making luxury homes for sale in Oakville, Ontario.

2. Early Financing is a Wise Option

When it comes to dispersing mortgages for rental properties, Canadian banks turn out to be quite conservative. Getting approved won’t come as easy as for your primary residence and that’s why planning out financing quite early is something that trustworthy mortgage agents will recommend to you. In the best-case scenario, any primary lender, be it your bank or a private mortgage lender, would want to evaluate your capability of making mortgage payments on both your properties- your primary residence as well as the investment with the 28/36 rule. Most importantly, they would also evaluate your capability to make the mortgage payments if you don’t have a rental income from your investment property. Your property might not be rented throughout the year. They just want to be sure that your vacant property doesn’t become the reason for no payments. Further, you also need a strong credit history to buy luxury homes for sale in Oakville Ontario.

3. A Minimum of 20% Down Payment is What You’ll Likely Need

Most prospective real estate investors put money in Oakville luxury homes that are up for sale because they want to have a second source of income or a full-proof retirement plan to be precise. But the property that they are buying for investment purposes is most likely not a primary residence (a house which you purchase and live in for at least six months in a year). This means your bank will ask you for a bigger amount as a down payment. In most cases, it averages around 20%.

4. A Fixer-Upper for Your First Investment Property is a Bad Idea

Purchasing an investment can be an overwhelming experience in itself. Add to that the hassle of renovating a house! Stressful, right? If it’s your first-time real estate investment attempt, do not overburden yourself with a property that needs a lot of time, money and patience to repair. However, if you are a specialist in home renovations and think you can handle all the interiors and repairs on your own, you can definitely go ahead. Most first-time investors in Oakville Ontario ignore this advice only to end up overpaying for a renovation. When you’re on the lookout for properties for sale in Oakville, focus on ones that are in good condition.

5. Choose the Neighbourhood Wisely

Remember when you shopped for your primary residence, you probably picked up the finest neighbourhood you could pay for. Applying the same logic to buy your investment property isn’t really a wise idea. Finer neighbourhoods come with an inflated insurance and maintenance cost. Instead, if you speak with an experienced mortgage agent or broker, they’d advise you to look out for a cheaper property in a humble neighbourhood. Also, while picking up a neighbourhood, you must eye the ones that have:

- Have a higher rate of employment

- Aren’t governed by homeowner’s association

- Have a low crime rate

- Have amenities nearby

6. Keep Extra Money Aside for Extra Expenses

It’s not only the purchasing amount and the monthly payment that you need to make when you purchase a property. There are factors like property taxes and applicable condo fee than can multiply you cost per month. You must ask your mortgage agent for a comparative analysis with the expected rental for the neighbourhood you are searching for properties in. You must also call your insurance agent to check on the cost (if you are buying a freehold property).

Reasons Your Home is Not Selling

When it comes to selling a home, many aspirations motivate individuals to take the step. Sometimes, it’s the urgent need for money while in other instances, it’s the charm of moving into a better property. While selling your home might seem easy from the outside, the truth is, it’s far from being an easy move. Right from listing your house to finding the right buyer, several important aspects can impact the house selling process. Especially in a hot housing market, if your home is unable to get any buyers, it raises eyebrows. With this article, we aim to help you realize some important factors that might be the reason behind your home not selling in Oakville.

A seller has two objectives. One being to sell out the home as soon as possible and the other is to get the highest price possible. In most parts of Canada, owning a property comes with a perk. If we go by the historical data, real estate is known to yield strong returns to homeowners. These returns can be used for any financial urgency whether to get an address upgrade, retire to a holiday property or invest in something you have been eyeing for a long time.

While selling a property comes with its perks, you’d agree that in the last few years Canadian nationals are facing a harrowing time given the current market conditions. There is a huge demand-supply gap. This leads to increased buying prices, leaving a fewer number of buyers. So, if you’ve been stuck with your luck, try to look into these potential issues to sell your property faster.

     1. Lousy Selling Photos

Before anything else on the list of reasons your home is not selling, bad selling photos has to be one of the prime factors. You might ask, “but most prospective buyers visit the property in person”. And we agree. But to reach out to the potential buyers and piquing their interest in your home, you need pictures that bring out the real edge of your house. And how do you do that? You can avail the services of an experienced real estate photographer. How to find one? Ask your real estate agent in Oakville. They will arrange for pictures that showcase your home in the best light. While your home pictures shall be admirable, it’s considered best to list pictures that are closest to reality. Honest and well-lit listing photos are a really important part of selling a house.

     2. Exaggerated Listing Price

To a homeowner, putting a price on their home is super tough. It’s a priceless possession for them. There are so many memories that you’ve made in your home. But for a buyer, your emotional attachment to your home doesn’t necessarily hold any significance. The only thing that matters is how much is your house worth. And what the prospective buyers want to pay for it. The right listing price is not what you think. It’s a mix of factors, including the existing market scenario, the condition of your home and finally the circumstances under which you are selling it. To get a ballpark idea of your home worth, you can search for home value estimators. You should always connect with a real estate agent who tells you the truth. Choose one who can work on comparing the recent sales within your neighbourhood and not just give you a fancy number. A reliable agent will not only pull up recent sales but will also help you in deciding the value based on the condition of your home.

Listing prices are important as it’s the first impression that prospective homebuyers will have of your home. Creating a budget is the first step when someone looks out to buy a home. And they do so by browsing online listings. So, if you put a price on your home that exceeds the market conditions, the chances of your listing getting filtered out even before considerations get higher. Keeping the prices realistic is the best move you can make to sell your home faster.

The listing price is the first impression homebuyers will have of your home. When a buyer decides to start shopping for a new home, step one is creating a budget. With this number in hand, step two is to browse online listings. Within that price range. Success can come down to a few dollars over or below that specific threshold. This is why it’s important to be realistic when it comes to pricing the home.

     3. Inefficient Marketing

Thanks to the age of digital marketing, a prospective homebuyer has hundreds of property listings ads as soon as he/she types buy a home in the search engine on his/her phone or laptop. If you are still relying on the outdated methods of doing it all manually, the risk of your home not being visible as a selling option is higher. Ask your real estate agent to get your home listed on their websites. You can also do the same on major property portals on your own.

     4. Unkempt Property

A messy, cluttered home is not a good start to your home-selling efforts. You need to prime up your property with the proper paint, throw away the pest-infested stuff, cut your grass, fix that windowsill or whatever you need to do to leave a marvellous first impression on buyers visiting your property. An unmaintained property is a buzzkill. So, clean your house, fold your laundry and put stuff in place once you schedule a home visit.

     5. Wrong Time to Sell

Market pundits recommend buyers shop for a new home right before the school year starts. It is much less of a hassle to deal with kids in school and adjust to new surroundings. Closing usually happens 60 days after the offer signing, it is best to put your home on sale from April to June. Also, property rates fluctuate during the year. So, keeping an eye on the real estate rates is also advised to make the right decision.

     6. Focusing on Erroneous Offers

The prime reason you need a real estate agent is not just because they get you the best price, but also because they help you screen prospective homebuyers to save you from getting into a mess. Checking their background along with their financial withstanding is one of the qualifying criteria and your real estate agents help you in preventing bad offers from coming your way.

     7. Wrong Choice of Real Estate Agent

Selling a property has too much riding on the choices you make. Selecting the wrong real estate agent can cost you so much more than just money. Look out for agents who keep themselves updated with the latest marketing tools. Read their reviews online. Ask them how are they different from the players in the market. You must ask them to present the recent sales they have made in your neighbourhood. Go with agents who know how to walk with you while you sell your home.
