The Government of Ontario passed the Green Energy Act, 2009 on May 14, 2009. Part of the Act includes a section that would require Sellers in Windsor and those selling in Ontario to provide home energy ratings to Buyers. The Buyer may choose to waive looking at or requiring a home energy audit. If this is the case it would be necessary for the Buyer to put this in writing.
Despite having passed the Green Energy Act, the government has not passed the required regulations which would implement a provincial system of Mandatory Home Energy Audits. Without these regulations thus far in place, Mandatory Home Energy Audits in Windsor are not required by law. At this point the Ontario Real Estate Association OREA has been in discussions with the Ministry of Energy staff and has learned that the government has no timeline currently in place to begin consulting on draft regulations. The Ministry has assured OREA that they will be one of the first they consult if the decision is made to proceed.
We believe there will be changes in the near future to how real estate transactions are done here in Windsor with regards to Home Energy Audits and that they will be made mandatory. This will be an added cost to the Sellers. If you are thinking of Selling it may be in your best interest to sell sooner rather than later to avoid these additional costs. Mandatory Home Energy Audits are coming to Windsor...it is just a matter of when.

| Posted on Sat, 13 Feb 2010, 07:47:30 AM in Buying and Selling Windsor Waterfront Properties | | | A lot of people are not aware of what the Windsor Essex Peninsula has to offer. It is Canada’s southernmost point bordered by Lake Erie, the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair. Between two Lakes and a major shipping channel we have over 100 miles of coast line.
I know that it is Canada but, the weather is not all that bad here either. We are known for seven months of short-sleeve weather, long hot summers and moderate winters. If you are looking to park your boat at the back door, buy your dream lakefront home, waterfront condo or cottage.... Windsor and its surrounding coastal communities could be the place for you!
We have some handsome properties in some quaint little towns such as Leamington, Kingsville, Amherstburg and Lasalle. These are great spots for a cottage get-a-way location. If you want to be on an island there is Pelee Island renown for wild life and birds. It has been dubbed “The Warbler Capital of North America,” because 42 of the 55 species have been sighted here. There is also Boblo Island which has been turned into a marina and resort community.
The Detroit River is one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. It is a real treat to watch the freighters go by. Some of these ships are over 1000 feet long! After living in Windsor over 15 years this still amazes me. Homes on Lake St. Clair in the Tecumseh, St. Clair Beach and Lakeshore area all have different but, spectacular views. It is a beautiful site to see the colourful sailboat spinnakers on race night.
When showing or listing any of these properties I peer out immediately to the lake or river. The kitchen always gets the last look. I am so fortunate to be able to show and sell these unique homes.
