🎙️ Curious about what homes in Prince Edward Island really cost compared to the rest of Canada? 🏡 This episode breaks down the numbers and dives into the real estate realities that buyers, sellers, and investors need to know. From the Home Price Index (HPI) to understanding median values, we give you the insider tools to make sense of PEI housing costs and how they stack up against other provinces.

📍 We’ll also tackle one of the biggest headaches in real estate: land without an address. Many buyers assume every property has a number on a mailbox, but unless there’s been a building permit, that’s often not the case. We explain how to handle this, what to look for, and why it matters.

🧭 Thinking of walking a property? Don’t just wander in blind. We share the ultimate property-hunting checklist — from generating GPS coordinates on government sites, using proper GPS devices instead of just your phone, apps that can show property lines, and why you should never trust anything over the survey itself. Pro tip: bring bug spray, a mosquito net, and all the aerial photos you can get your hands on!

🚨 We also shine a light on serious property issues you need to watch for, including the notorious Kitec plumbing that has killed more than one home sale after inspection. You’ll hear a real-world example of how hidden Kitec piping derailed a deal.

🙅‍♀️ Another big one: stop contacting listing agents directly for showings. We explain why buyers should work with their buyer’s agent instead of trying to cut corners, and how it actually saves time, money, and stress for everyone involved.

🕒 At the end of the day, real estate is one massive time-management project. From showings to closing, keeping things on track takes strategy. That’s why we wrap up this episode with a look at closing costs and our exclusive Powerhouse Realty Buyer’s Guide — the tool you didn’t know you needed until now.
