The Classic - "I wanted a piece of PEI real estate because I was vacationing there regularly and decided it would be a better investment for me in the long run". In summary, instead of incurring expenses throughout the years for their holiday, these savvy individuals buy a piece of PEI real estate, enjoy it and then sell for profit.
The Visionary - "Look I plan on retiring soon and with the value of my property here I can get an equivalent place on the Island and put a tidy sum away to top off my retirement years". With the large increases in home values in Ontario, Alberta and basically most of Canada, this makes absolutely great economic sense. For many who responded to this it was both lifestyle and economics that dictated the purchase of PEI real estate. On that note, we are the unofficial exchange program between PEI and the rest of Canada. We send our Youth out to your provinces for work and adventure and you send us your retirees for peace and contentment...we'll take the trade!
The Lifestyle - "Life in the big city is not getting any easier or safer, we wanted a place to call home where we would feel we know our neighbours, and they know us. A place in the world were technology and mass media are available but do not dominate lives, a place were strolling down a deserted beach was still possible or just hanging out with friends in the backyard was still considered to be a very acceptable way to pass away one's day". This describes life here on PEI.
The Spiritualist - "We just felt a calling to PEI. The energies are phenomenal. We had to be part of it!". I'm amazed how many fall into this category. I've met more psychic sensitive people here than at the psychic fair in Ottawa & Toronto combine. Thank you for coming, you add colour to our lives.
The Pragmatist - "I've been looking up and down the Eastern Seaboard for affordable oceanfront properties. I thought I'd never find one until I stepped onto the Island. I can't believe my good fortune! I got the
PEI real estate of my dream for a fraction of the cost they were asking for anywhere else!" Glad we could help. Look prices for
PEI real estate are going up, especially for waterfront properties in nicely developed subdivision. What our friend is expressing here is a comparative value. Another client, a real estate agent from Florida, was absolutely stunned by what $200,000 could buy her. She had just finished the sale of an acre property in the lake district (not the ocean) for 10 times the price of what we were offering her.
The Snowbirds - "We love to winter in Florida but we did not want to spend the summers there, and as we want to keep our citizenship and health care benefits we need to come home. What we found in Florida is that the summers are hot and muggy affairs with mosquitoes and tornados - we can do without that. So we ventured to PEI and found 6 glorious months (May to Oct) that perfectly offset our southern treks. Could not be happier". The new trend is winter down south and summer up here...great if you can make it yours. We can help save you some money on your purchase at this end...in Florida well that maybe another matter.
