New book includes: How much can you afford? A guide for first-time
buyers, Avoiding the traps, How to buy a condo, The secret to selling
for more, and a rating of every major real estate market

TORONTO, May 4 /CNW/ – Investing in real estate is as much an emotional
investment as it is a financial one. It’s not only about the numbers,
but knowing up front the answers to some key questions, such as: Am I
ready to buy my first home? Can I really afford it? Have I priced my
house correctly? Is this the lifestyle I want? Where do I really want
to live?

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or have been bitten by the real estate
investing bug, the MoneySense Guide to Buying and Selling your Home helps you answer those questions and more, while offering sensible,
practical advice straight from real estate authorities across the
country.

But there’s more: The MoneySense Guide to Buying and Selling your Home tells homeowners which renos will add value once they’ve moved in and
how to evaluate income properties. The guide also provides an
up-to-date numerical analysis of every major Canadian real estate
market, with the latest tips on which cities have the most affordable
houses or condos, and where the best places to retire are.

The MoneySense Guide to Buying and Selling your Home aims to bring you one step closer to the life you want, whether you’re
buying, selling or investing. After all, you want to profit from your
