In this episode of The Michael and Patty Show: Living in Prince Edward Island, we dive deep into the complexities and nuances of the PEI real estate market. Join us as we discuss the critical importance of preapproved build lots—are they really preapproved? 🏡 We'll tackle the challenges of last-minute showings, especially when dealing with tourists, and how the ShowingTime program can streamline your process. ⏰


We also explore recent controversies, including how the Prince Edward Island Government is using Hurricane Fiona as a reason to delay issuing building permits 🌪️, and the frustration of receiving “blind” offers with no input from the listing agent. Effective communication between all parties is crucial, and we’ll emphasize how miscommunication can lead to issues like inaccurate property line representations, which border on misrepresentation and false advertising. 🚧


Other hot topics include the island's ongoing rental car shortages 🚗 and the importance of being specific in your purchase and sales agreements—don’t forget to take pictures of the items you want included! 📸 We’ll also discuss the challenges of valuing unique properties with no comparables and the complexities of buying property as a non-resident, including navigating the IRAC (Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission) and the LPA Database. 📜


Lastly, we address the growing issue of buyers fraudulently avoiding IRAC and the misconception that more applicants mean more property acquisitions without proper approval. 🛑 Whether you're a seasoned investor or a market newcomer, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you navigate the ever-evolving PEI real estate landscape. 🌍
