While home renovations will increase the value of your home, it’s important to note that you may not always see a 100% return on investment. Before taking on any major home renovation, it’s important to talk to a professional to see what the projected increase value in your home will be in comparison to the spend. If you plan to be in your home long-term then getting all of your money back, and then some, might not be on the top of your list. However, if you are looking at moving in the next 5 years, there are some renovations that you may not see a full return on. Here are 3 examples: Expensive Kitchen Renovations & Remodels - Now, more than ever, the kitchen is becoming the heart of the home. Many buyers desire an open concept, updated home with a functional, spacious kitchen. With that being said, you would think that this home renovation would yield a full return on investment. In reality, the ROI is only about 50%.

If a kitchen renovation is on your to-do list, it’s important to consider your budget as well as finishes so that you can maximize impact without breaking the bank.

Unless you live in a luxury home, there is no need to spend $60,000 on a kitchen renovation. Easy ways to bring down your budget (without sacrificing style) are to go with granite alternatives, swap out custom cabinetry for stock, and even consider painting your cupboards vs. replacing them altogether (if they are in good condition). By keeping your budget in check, you are more likely to see a high ROI than if you go for top-of-the-line everything.

Installing An Inground Swimming Pool - Everyone loves the thought of a pool.

However, in reality, they can be incredibly expensive to install and maintain and they have often been considered a liability.

Before moving forward with a pool install, it’s important to understand that you likely will not recoup all the money that you put into it.

Especially in a climate like we have in Ontario, with seasonal limitations on when this can be enjoyed, and the opening/closing process can be seen as a potential headache for some buyers. If you are thinking about being in your home long-term, then this might be the perfect investment from an enjoyment perspective, but if you are thinking solely on home value then you would be better off with a bathroom renovation.

Adding On With An Addition - Let’s preface this next section with a disclaimer.

Deciding whether or not to go forward with an addition can largely depend on the neighbourhood you are in. For example; if you live somewhere like Seagrave or another community on Lake Scugog, you may have noticed a large portion of your neighbours adding onto the square footage of their homes. Many of these homes started out as cottages and are now being converted into four-season family dwellings. In this case, you will likely get the ROI on your renovation costs, with all homes collectively driving up the value together.

Now, to the cautious side of adding onto your home with an addition. If you live in a neighbourhood of all 1,200 square ft. starter homes, adding square footage to your home might just be a lost cause. You don’t want your home to stick out like a sore thumb. In this case, you would be better off by renovating the inside of your home and even consider making some layout changes to maximize the space and make it more functional.

Home Renovation Recap - Going big with home renovations isn’t always the best thing for your home. Before you start any large renovation, we recommend chatting with a real estate professional, having your home appraised and evaluating what price point will get you the best value for your home, and most importantly, return on your investment. It is also really important to make and stick to your home renovation budget.

The Ultimate Home Seller’s Checklist - Are you ready to make your move and put your home on the market? We’ve compiled the ultimate home seller’s checklist for you to get your home ready to be sold. Go through step by step and be amazed by the transformation happen before your eyes.

Pare It Down - The first step in getting your home ready for the market is to pare down all items in your house. This is the perfect excuse to empty out your closets and Goodwill all of the stuff that you’ve collected over the years that you don’t use. Plus, shedding all of the extras will make packing a breeze. Your future self will thank you for that!

Go Neutral - When selling your home, you want it to feel warm and inviting, allowing a prospective buyer to envision themselves living there. Which brings us to the step #2 on our home seller’s checklist – removing items that are too personal like family photos and all the chachkies you collected from various trips.

A Fresh Coat - A little goes a long way, and a fresh coat of paint is an easy way to breathe new life into tired walls. That’s step #3 of our home seller’s checklist. Go for a neutral colour that will give an airy, open feel to your home. Want to go the extra mile? Give your doors and trim a fresh coat too. It will be the cherry on top of a job well done.

The Little Things - Don’t overlook the little things. Step #4 in our checklist is to tackle all those little things that collectively will have a big impact. Replace any chipped or cracked faceplates, warped or damaged register covers, loose drawer pulls, burnt out light bulbs, etc. Basically, any easy task that a potential buyer would flag.

Deep Clean - For step #5 on the ultimate home seller’s checklist, think spring cleaning on steroids. Before your home hits the market, you’ll want to give it a top to bottom, deep clean. From interior to exterior, you will want to touch every surface. Take everything out of your newly paired down cupboards and give all the interior shelves a good dusting and once over. Clean all windows, glass, lighting fixtures and the always forgotten fan blades. And, if you have carpet in your home, be sure to go over them with a carpet cleaner to ensure optimal freshness.

Maximize & Optimize - Home staging is the perfect way to set up every space in your home and is the final step in getting your home ready to go up for sale. By removing any extra, unneeded furniture and placing the remaining pieces in a strategic position, you can dramatically change the look, feel and perceived size of your living space.

Packing Like A Pro - Last but certainly not least, is packing – no seller’s checklist is complete without packing up your home. This signals the end of an era and the start of a fresh journey. Packing like a pro will set you up for success, getting you into your new home, unpacked and ready to relax in record time!

Getting your home ready for the market is no easy feat and you don’t have to go it alone. Half the battle of a successful home sale is partnering with the right real estate agent for the job. Choosing someone who can get your home the visibility it deserves will ensure that all of your hard work pays off in the end. Check out our blog on how to find the perfect Realtor for tips and questions to ensure that you get an agent who’s ready to work for you.
