@growwithnav a lot that you discussed speaks to the potential of possibly reselling your home and possibly for profit. I think you should have called out that nobody should buy a house they firstly, they don’t plan to enjoy living in. And if they do, sometimes having a cemetery around or a poor school rating would mean very little. Secondly, the indian hindu community that follows vastu doesn’t necessarily predominate the housing market. I don’t think we should introduce religious bias. If you research some more a lot of canadians for eg are drawn towards pie shaped lots. Gaumukh and shermukh dekhe canada mein bhi? I enjoyed that you demonstrated research and key information and i suppose this is your opinion. But take my comment as you may.
21:36 as you would know, common vastu directions of India are not really applicable in Canada due to change of lattitute and longitude. Canada is higher up North.
This is great insight, I would also like to add the issue of radiation levels in the soils in Calgary (radon gas) level check, especially in unfinished basements. Keep giving well rounded information
This year is even worse than the last. Last year, I lost a lot of money on bad investments that I never would have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I didn't know if I should continue to invest or pay my mortgage off. After selling my investments, I discovered that the house needed more work than I thought it would. I don't know how long I can keep doing this
Invest in businesses that have predictable cash flows to diversify your holdings. In the ten months after I hired a planner to assist me build my portfolio at the end of 2023, I have made money in over 500 different markets. If 2023 teaches us anything, it's that good luck never lasts. We should work harder to be ready for the worst case scenario even in good times.
Alright, so where can someone locate a reliable financial planner? It won't be a problem for me to find the professional who helped you. I'll be retiring in two years, and I might require assistance with handling my far more valuable assets. I'm not willing to take any risk
Cancer from power lines not a worry, if that was the case, power station workers and linemen would be magnitudes more affected to the point it would be obvious. They are not pretty to look at though.
Also: Avoid buying homes near gas stations (50 to 100 m. Look up health studies on people living around such places) based on my home search experience. Great video and valuable insights👍
Pretty simple economics when all variables remain same You pay less , with lower appreciation You pay a lot more (if following your recommendation). Unless you have unlimited budget, so pick your battle I bought a house in front of a main road but it was around 150k cheaper . Of course there is noise so added in sound proofing ,
Thanks Nav! Like all the examples. I rented a house close to the train tracks. You eventually zone out the the noise, but everything on the kitchen counter tops vibrates😅
It might be a good idea to show similar comparables that have sold without the negative influence just to show the price difference that corresponds to that feature.
My first time on your channel and what a great video. Very different than other videos on UA-cam. Also helpful that you're in the Kitchener area. I'm subscribing. Could you make a video on the Guelph market? Thanks
I just bought a house that has a rail track (not active) behind my backyard that allows for a more quiet and private area ie not a parking lot or road. I also have a highway 5min away, which allows me to jump on it and get to my work faster rather then fighting 15-20min morning traffic to get onto it. I like the video but there's also positives for your negatives, which you missed to point out as well.
Actually, Gau mukh lots are considered auspicious and better. Sher mukh lots are the ones to be avoided, but if it's for commercial purpose - they are considered good.
@@jatinder4you it’s not non-sense. In gau mukh lots you get more backyard space, hence you have more green space and recreation area. Front is narrow so you have less yard maintenance to do - Most of your usable space is at the back of the house. If it’s at the front of the house, it’s just more work for nothing.
anything with noise you do get used to it..i live very close to an international airport and dont notice the plane noise but others that are visiting point it out.
If buying stacked, specifically in Ontario. Just remember that low condo fees is biggest glitch which is used by builders to list and sell in early stages. Once the reserve fund studies are done for fiscal year. You will be surprised to know that the builder left only minimum of amount around $25000 in reserve fund, whereas the reserve funds as per your plan study by engineers will suggest to increase the funds by 800 percent. This will put condo board on a compulsive situation to draft the 3-4 year plan of 20%hike in condo fees until the reserve funds are meeting the regulatory standards. And this was my first personal experience. In other provinces, builders are facing court case but Ontario and British columbia does not have such laws to avoid the loopholes from reserve funds studies by third party civil engineers.
Nav, i work at a real estate board, your explanation of a high tension cable is some what incorrect. High tension cable is a type of construction, that was used to build high rise buildings. The high tension cable construction is somewhat latent defect because the cables used in these contruction get rust over the period of time and these type of building has to go through a safety survey every few years. Very informative video.
Nav, I enjoy your videos as I’m trying to become a first time home owner. However, there are a lot of things that you state that don’t know but yet you still point out a lot of skepticism about the reasons. I think the video could be better and more efficient if you detail the facts as per why each reason has a negative impact when purchasing a house, you can also bring in an expert to talk about the issues. Also it could be a long-term game, where you might be aware of the downside but still buy it just to hop on, in the market.
Nowadays, it has become a Norm to follow the money and promote the same thing. Some intangible human life assets also need to be taken care of. Just get a decent money, and balance out your life with other aspects as well.
Most of the stuff u mentioned are reasonable and helpful. However, what u said about student purpose condos is *not true*. I own a student purpose condo with an A lender mortgage (big 5 bank). Unless rules changed in the last few months, it's not true that A lenders don't give mortgage to student rental properties.
Thanks for the info..one more question please..in stacked townhouse, you suggest to avoid lower unit due to bad light..is any other issue also need to consider for lower unit assuming that stacked townhouse building is an 1.5 year old
I bought a house near a cemetery and railroad and next to a river . The house floods once a week , the foundation call cracked . And because of cemetery I see ghosts walking around the house at night . Good advice sir , you are a genius . You should make a video of where to park car in parking lot . I forgot to say that there are electrical wires are going straight above our house . One benefit is that relatives don’t visit because they are afraid of wires .
Living near trails can be frustrating when you find frogs and garden snakes in your backyard. If you have young kids and are considering buying a home near a trail or water body, think twice before making the decision!
Omg cemetery is not just superstitious just creepy! 😮 I once went and saw this hugeeee beautiful house…from the master bedroom the view was of a cemetery. Like imagine waking up in the morning and opening your window and seeing a cemetery!! Neverrrr ever lol
@@sujansrikakulam5172 in gta have you seen the houses by warden station?? That whole area was a big cemetery and then part of cemetery was demolished and houses built there!!
Hi, just a note, Gau mukh is good for residence while Sher Mukh is good for commercial..
Yes mixed them up

Yes Gau mukh is actually auspicious for residential purposes.

June Renae Matthysse. When you check her up online, you are likely to find more details
She seems to be kind and well educated. I looked up her name online and discovered her website, thank you for sharing 👍

This is a greater insight to think over and beyond the pricing and interest rates. Great share Nav
🙌🙌
lol
This video is amazing! I can never miss a video from you , always giving positive vibes and valuable information
Glad you like them!
Great job, impressive. First time hearing from a realtor
Very informative video especially for first time home buyers. Thanks for your detailed research with relevant examples! Appreciate your work!
Glad it was helpful!
What an amazing practical questions that people would not ask, especially first time home buyers! Kudos to your work and knowledge! 🎉
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the great tips!
The video is filled with valuable information, awesome content, and a clear and engaging way of explanation. Absolutely perfect!
Valuable information!! Thanks Nav!!
Glad you think so!
Thank you for this information, I really appreciate it!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. You should add Telecom Towers to the list! They arguably emit more radiations than high tension transmission towers.
🙌🙌
Lovely video ❤ and I have learned a lot. Thank you for all your efforts
I'm so glad!

Can you also do another video on what potentially are the good signs of a property from a resale perspective?
Sure, I have made many on this already

Hey Nav, extremely amazing video!❤. Would love to know your thoughts about stacked townhomes by crescent homes in Doon Kitchener
Depends on the floor plan.

This is a helpful video. I am going to save it

Wifi is always intermittent near high tension wire.. especially coaxial cable internet
Damn! I read it as WTF!
Corner unit is not good as per vastu. Lots of negative energy and family members may have health issues
How would you define “negative energy”?

Hi Nav. Great video. What do you recommend about buying in Alliston, part of New Tecumseth. New community is being built there by Highcastle Homes.
Too north.. investment or for self.. ?
Nowadays, it has become a Norm to follow the money and promote the same thing. Some intangible human life assets also need to be taken care of. Just get a decent money, and balance out your life with other aspects as well.
Corner unit also not good as per vastu. Lots of negative energy stay there and family member has health issues
According to google, Mississauga is also a flood zone but it is known to be a great area for real estate. Is that just an outlier?
As soon as u ad flood zone, i liked video. 🎉
Thanks for liking
thanks looking foerward for more such vids
School ratings for Catholic and regular public school both ! :)
Especially if u have kids.

You forgot 1 more area , don't buy near any cellphone towers or antennas due to high RF exposure
🙌🙌
Lol what? Everywhere is close to cell towers.
@@MrKYT-gb8gs
Lol, that's not fact
You must not be in line of sight means if you don't see tower or antennas from anywhere in your home , you are good
@@naturelover8245 i don't think you understand what rf is or how it works

That's okay, if you understand RF then have your next home next to macro cell site and enjoy your life surrounding with RF

Garage on backyard detached
What’s wrong with that?
Hello Nav, I have a question, which one is better choice for a first time home buyer..a condo or a stack townhouse in kitchener..under 450K
Depends on the location… both are equal in my view if you buy a newer condo in downtown Kitchener
Thanks for the info..one more question please..in stacked townhouse, you suggest to avoid lower unit due to bad light..is any other issue also need to consider for lower unit assuming that stacked townhouse building is an 1.5 year old
It will be very hard to sell. Bad light and basement type feeling is a big deal.
Thanks Nav ...appreciated..
Hi Nav, just wondering than how to find home in a soft zone (appreciation +cash flow ?
Population growth is the metric for it. That’s why calgary is so desirable
Market is bad but not that really bad YET! 😂
😅
Avoid north facing south facing
I bought a house near a cemetery and railroad and next to a river . The house floods once a week , the foundation call cracked .

Do you have an email. I'd like to ask questions?
Please book a call from the link in the bio.
please suggest good realtor please.
You can book a call from the link in the bio - and you will be connected to a good realtor that’s handpicked by me :)
“In Brampton or near it” should be the first point in wrong location!
Not for everyone 😀
Not if you are from Punjab or Punjabi.
Radon gas too
You're not scared of ghosts but of trains yes hahaaa. Nice video content 👍
😅
Should we buy a house near petrol station ?
Cannibas grown home
Agree
Living near trails can be frustrating when you find frogs and garden snakes in your backyard. If you have young kids and are considering buying a home near a trail or water body, think twice before making the decision!
🙌
How about homes with sloped driveways? Usually homes in a neighborhood that’s on a hill.
If the driveways are made right, they can be fine. Depends on the house then
Avoid num 8 13
Also my house is next to a high school with low rating . Unfortunately since my kids are attending and their intelligence level has dropped 70%.
Crime report of area
School rating takes care of it :)
How many Punjabi men can fit in a triple-stack bunk bed?
Omg cemetery is not just superstitious just creepy! 😮
I once went and saw this hugeeee beautiful house…from the master bedroom the view was of a cemetery. Like imagine waking up in the morning and opening your window and seeing a cemetery!! Neverrrr ever lol
😀😀
Imagine a House built on Cemetry :P Also be aware of new builders who just buy houses around cemetry
@@sujansrikakulam5172 in gta have you seen the houses by warden station?? That whole area was a big cemetery and then part of cemetery was demolished and houses built there!!
Avoid cul de sac
Lol just bought a south facing house. Vastu is for idiots.
😂 Ulta bol gya bhai gau-mukh vs sher-mukh.. according to vastu business should be sher-mukh and house should be gau-mukh is considered auspicious
Yes!! More nuanced and so confusing 😅
after 2 years after build,
rail road tracks have no impact on the foundation of homes whatsoever.
Does this also apply to city electric train?
