What ‘move-in ready’ really means Are you wondering what “move-in ready” really means?

Here’s what homebuyers and home sellers should know about this often-used term.

housing market, and many of them want to minimize the hassles that come with outfitting a new home, even if it means they need to pay a bit more to purchase it.

THE LEGAL DEFINITION While the details depend on local laws and regulations, the term move-in ready generally indicates that the building meets all local legal requirements for living in. Thus, strictly a move-in ready home doesn’t need to be flawless. ade bri speaking, ngsIt only needs to be habitable.

In the end, the term move-in ready can mean different things to different people. However, both buyers and sellers will likely benefit from the help of a reliable realtor who can offer guidance and help manage expectations.

Many homebuyers mistakenly think that a house that’s marketed as move-in ready will be entirely furnished and up­ dated, or at least not require any renovations. However, this isn’t always the case. Beyond the bare fact that it’s habitable, you shouldn’t expect anything from a home listed this way.

WHAT IT MEANS FOR SELLERS While you may not need to extensively renovate your home, if you live in an up-and-coming area, it might be worthwhile to update your appliances and think about leaving some furniture behind. More and more millennials are entering the

Reel

How to define spaces in an open concept home If you’re decorating an open concept home, you’ll need to think about how to demarcate distinct areas within the layout. Here are some tips to help you do this.

PAINT IN SHADES OF ONE COLOR Painting various areas in different shades of the same color is a great way to visually separate one zone from another. To make sure your home maintains a cohesive look, choose a single accent colour and use it throughout the space.

STRATEGICALLY PLACE FURNITURE Sofas, chairs and tables can be placed in ways that indicate where one space ends and another begins. For example, you could place your couch in the middle of a room with its back to your dining table, clearly marking where the living space ends and the dining area begins.

MIX UP YOUR FLOORING Flooring can also help you create distinct zones. A simple way to do this is to lay down one or more rugs. Just make sure they’re big enough to fill their designated areas.

INSTALL VARIOUS TYPES OF LIGHTING By using an assortment of different fixtures and lamps, you can make sure you have the right lighting for every space and help delineate where one area ends and the next begins.

By following these tips, your large and airy space will feel warm and intimate.

Painting various areas in different shades of the same color is a great way to visually separate one zone from another.

How potential buyers can get the most out of an open house

STUMPS...

Stumps are an ugly eyesore and become home to Ants, Bees, Snakes and Termites, to name a few!

Stumps can also block or damage lawn equipment.

“If you ever hit a stump with a mower cha ching!”

Stump Grinding provides many benefits such as keeping you landscape beautiful and lets not forget eliminating tripping hazards.

Stump Grinding is the most efficient method for removal of tree stumps with little to no impact on your property.

Open houses are great opportunities to learn more about properties on the real estate market. If you’re not organized, however, visiting house after house can be exhausting and even counterproductive. Here are a few tips for homebuyers to get the most out of open houses.

KNOW WHAT YOU WANT BEFORE YOU ARRIVE Have a list of concrete things you’d like from your future property before you start visiting homes. This will help you remain focussed on what’s important when you’re at the open house.

TAKE LOTS OF NOTES AND PICTURES Don’t rely solely on your memory to compare different homes. Take lots of notes and pictures (but be sure to ask the owner for permission before photographing his or her belongings).

BE POLITE There’s a tendency among some potential buyers at an open house to treat the event as a kind of party or show. Be sure to remember to be respectful towards what is still someone else’s home. This could, after all, be the first step in the negotiation process.

DON’T REVEAL TOO MUCH ABOUT YOURSELF Don’t reveal too much about your own situation or your reaction to the property. Sellers are on the alert for overly-enthusiastic buyers and will try to push any advantage they can find in a competitive housing market. The less a seller knows about how badly you’d like the property, the better.

The best way to get through the sometimes tedious process of looking for a new home is to hire a real estate expert to guide you through the process. He or she will know all the tricks of the trade.

Should I repair my roof before selling my home?

Deciding which parts of your home you should repair before putting your house on the market can be difficult. Which repairs are necessary? Which will help attract buyers? One of the most important elements of your house that buyers will be sure to examine carefully is the roof.

WHY IS MY ROOF SO IMPORTANT? The short answer? Heat and water.

As we all learned in school, hot air rises and cool air falls. When heating a home in the winter, homeowners want to retain as much warmth as possible. If your roof isn’t properly insulated, you’ll lose a lot of heat.

Your roof is also important for keeping ice and water out of your home. Even the smallest amount of water entering your roof can lead to rotting wood and the spread of mould.

WHAT ROOF REPAIRS ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY? Of course, determining which roof repairs are absolutely necessary will depend on how motivated you are as a seller and what price you’re expecting to get for your house. If you’re hoping to make more money than you invested, fully repairing your roof is a great way to ensure that you’ll make a profit. Any structural issues, or those involving insulation or water, might require an entirely new roof.

While very expensive, the new roof will pay for itself when it comes time to negotiate a price.

The easiest way to tell if you need to replace your roof is to consult a contractor or real estate expert who has the experience and know-how to determine the value of this type of investment in the current market.

Should I landscape my yard before putting my house on the market?

Check out these landscaping projects done by

Spooner Landscaping

While flowers and ornamentation can add curb appeal, some judicious landscaping can greatly increase the value of your property. Correct landscaping can even help prepare a home for changing season, positioning your house as a smart investment for prospective buyers. Landscaping issues that concretely affect property values include:

FIXING YOUR FAUCETS

LANDSCAPE GRADING

Even if you don’t use them that often, any plumbing for your yard should be fully operational before your home goes on the market. This includes outdoor faucets, underground pipes and any other water elements you may have.

DANGEROUS TREES & BUSHES

If you’re unsure if your yard is in good shape, you should consult a home inspector, real estate agent or local arborist. They can help you decide what needs to be done to make your property ready for the competitive real estate market.

Your yard is an important part of your total property. One of the easiest and best ways to add value to your land is to make sure that your yard slopes in the right direction to divert water and thawing ice away from the foundation.

Before

close. Trees and bushes closer than six feet to your home should be brought down or remediated.

Although trees and bushes can add a lot of beauty and value to a home, they can also cause a lot of damage if they don’t grow correctly. Roots and branches can harm your home’s roof, siding or foundation if they grow too

Buy first vs. sell first: what homeowners should know If you’re ready to move into a bigger home, you may be wondering whether you should sell or buy first.

While there’s no one right answer, here’s what you should know about each option.

BUY FIRST The main advantage to buying first is that you’ll have plenty of time to peruse the market for your new abode.

Without a closing date on your current home pressuring you, you’ll be free to hunt for the perfect property.

You’ll also be less concerned if you face setbacks.

However, buying first has one potential downfall: if you can’t sell your previous home right away, you might end up owning two properties at once. This will put you on the hook for double the number of mortgage, insurance and utility payments.

Though you can protect yourself from this scenario by making your offer conditional to the sale of your house, it might make your bid less attractive to sellers. In a competitive market, you’ll be at a distinct disadvantage.

SELL FIRST The main benefit of selling first is that you’ll know exactly how much money you’ll have to buy your new house. The downside, however, is that as soon as your home is sold, you’re on the clock. And if you can’t find something suitable before the closing date, you may end up having to invest in some type of temporary accommodation.

Making your dream home: advice for the would-be builder Are you thinking about building your own home? While there are many advantages of designing a space that works for your family in every way, here are some things you should consider before breaking ground.

raise a family or grow old in your home.

If you do decide to build, remember that the home will eventually need to be sold. For this reason, it’s a good idea to make design choices that aren’t so luxurious that you’ll be priced out of the area or that are so quirky that other people won’t want it.

Location Do you want to live in the city or suburbs? If so, it may be hard to find an unoccupied plot. In this case, you may need to look further away from your desired location in order to find land where you can build.

Blueprints If you build the house in a subdivision, you may be able to use pre-made builder’s plans. However, for a more customized home, you’ll need to hire an architect instead.

Lifestyle When making design choices, it’s important to think about how you plan to use the house both now and in the future.

For example, a steep set of stairs may not seem like a big deal right now, but they may prove difficult if you choose to

Simplify your life with self-priming paint Do you have a room to repaint? Are you looking for a quick, hassle-free way to achieve high-quality results? Self-priming paint might just be the answer.

page 18

Rust, sienna, paprika, brick, cinnamon, terracotta—brownish orange shades match almost anything!

This ingenious product lets you skip the step of applying a base coat, or primer, to seal and prepare the surface you want to paint. The only drawback of self-priming paint is that it’s slightly more expensive than standard paint. That being said, the benefit definitely justifies the cost.

One coat or two?

Although some all-in-one products promise perfect coverage in only one coat, experts still recommend applying two. Keep in mind that, for optimal results, two thin coats are better than a single thick one.

Visit your local hardware, paint or home renovation store to find the perfect self-priming paint to brighten up your home.

Happy painting!

What colors go with earth tones?

Colors that combine tones of orange and brown are always popular in interior design, particularly during the fall. Evoking falling leaves and sunsets, these rich hues are nostalgic, romantic and exotic. To highlight furniture or accessories that feature such earthy shades, get inspired by these suggestions.

Cool hues To give your decor a fun and dynamic effect, add touches of cool colors amid the warm, earthy tones. Green plants, turquoise pillows, a purple rug—have fun creating eyecatching contrast.

Neutral tones To enhance architectural or decorative elements with burnt earth tones, you can also use shades of white (cream, ivory), beige (sand) or grey (stone, steel) on the walls, curtains, floors or bedding. This type of palette creates an elegant, refined look.

Metallic notes Is there anything more chic and timeless than a noble metal?

To complement an earth-toned decor, opt for decorative objects (mirrors, tables, vases, lights, etc.) with a metallic finish. The best choices are: • • • • •

To bid or not to bid: red flags homebuyers shouldn’t ignore

Small home?

Maximize your living space!

If you’re buying a house, getting a home inspection before signing on the dotted line is a must. But even before the inspector arrives, there are several things that should give you pause. Here are some potential problems to look out for.

WATER DAMAGE Fresh paint and carpeting can easily mask signs of water damage.

Try to spot bubbling or irregularities in the paint, as these can be indicators of a problem.

Rot and mould are other signs but may also be hidden. A moisture detector is therefore a must when inspecting a home.

INFESTATION There aren’t always obvious signs of a pest infestation as animals and insects can hide inside walls, under carpeting and even beneath floorboards.

Inspectors will check the exterior of the home as closely as possible for any potential entrances.

ROOF ISSUES Issues with the roof may be missed if simply viewing it from the ground. Prior to the home inspection, it’s a good idea to ask the seller how old the roof is, as an old one is likely to have issues that need fixing.

HVAC ISSUES Inspectors may not run a full test of the HVAC system. The age of the system, however, is usually a good indicator of its state. In addition, inspecting visible air ducts will usually give you a good idea of the system’s overall state.

While inspectors tend to provide very thorough evaluations, there are things that should give you pause even without one.

While not all of these things are deal breakers, they’re all worth being aware of when negotiating a price for your new home.

Is your home feeling cramped? Before you consider an addition, here are some ways you can maximize the space you have.

REPURPOSE SPACE Many people have parts of their home that are underused. Consider turning the attic into a guest room, a storage space into an office or a closet into a reading nook for the kids.

DESIGN VERTICALLY Use vertical space to free up more room. A loft bed in a kid’s bedroom provides space for a desk underneath. And shelving units can hold lots of items without taking up a ton of floorspace. You can even install a shelf above the bathroom door to store toilet paper and cleaning supplies.

HEAD OUTDOORS An outdoor living room allows you to gain extra square footage without sacrificing indoor space.

You may not be able to use it year-round, but you’ll undoubtedly appreciate it in warmer months. Install a firepit or outdoor heaters so you can keep using it once the weather gets colder.

If you live in a small home, it’s also important to think carefully about what you own. By purging what you don’t use, you’ll free up extra room.

5 questions to ask when choosing a neighborhood Before you start shopping for a new home, it’s a good idea to consider what neighborhood you want to live in. Here are five questions to ask yourself when considering location.

1. Are the schools good? If you have young kids, this is a top priority. Do some digging online and consider visiting the more promising schools in person.

2. Is it safe? Ensure that the neighborhood doesn’t have issues with crime. You can often find information about crime rates on the web. Another option is to make inquiries with the local police department.

3. Where can I go by foot? Consider what shops, services or amenities are within walking distance. This includes grocery stores, cafes, restaurants, daycares, clinics, parks and gyms.

4. What will commuting be like? Take into account how close the neighborhood is to your workplace and your children’s school. If you intend to take public transportation, see how accessible and convenient it is.

5. Do I like the atmosphere? To better understand the overall vibe of the neighborhood, the best thing to do is scope it out in person. Walk the streets, chat with the locals and visit the area’s shops and restaurants.

In addition to asking yourself these five questions, it’s worth discovering what trends are emerging with respect to home values in the neighborhood. This will indicate whether buying in the area will prove a good investment if you choose to sell the property down the road.
