A CHRISTMAS WISH LIST

By Mike Lightbourn

IT may be too late to buy a new home for Christmas, but it’s never too late to put together a Wish List.

The trick to compiling a realistic Wish List is to identify the “Must Haves” over the “I Wants.”

A lot of buyers, especially first-time buyers, will find it’s not possible to get everything they want on the budget they have.

Here are five tips to help you with your Wish List.

• Prequalify for a loan to determine your budget. There’s no point looking at homes if you don’t know what you can afford.

• Pinpoint the area you want to live in. How close do you want to be to work, family and a school? Location generally will determine the type of home you can afford.

• Determine how many bedrooms you need. After deciding on budget and location, the most important consideration is for every family member to have a comfortable place to stay, whether that means siblings sharing a room or having their own.

• Choose a lifestyle. What features of a home are most important to you? A large living room to entertain? A big back yard? A gourmet kitchen? A pool?

• Imagine how you can put your own stamp on a home.

Don’t worry if the colour of the paint doesn’t grab you or the furnishings aren’t to your taste. Concentrate on the structure, the roof and windows and so on. It’s easy to paint over a colour.

For Sellers If you’re hosting Christmas dinner while your home’s on the market, maybe you deserve the Turkey of the Year award.

Joking aside, it’s important to return the home to a pristine

state before a prospect arrives to look at it.

So as soon as you’ve recovered from the holiday frenzy, roll up your shirt sleeves and get in the kitchen or hire someone to do the job.

Put on some good music and start wiping down your counters, cabinetry and stove top. Wash the grates if you have a gas stove. Clean the oven thoroughly.

Work those counters until they sparkle, using the correct cleaner for the job. Scrub the sinks until they shine.

Replace soiled rags with fresh ones as you work.

Sweep and mop until the floors gleam. Clean out the refrigerator and give it a good scrub with vinegar and water. Pull out the bins and shelves and get any gunk out. Throw away food that’s passed its prime, including condiments.

Scrub the garbage can with a vinegar water solution. Clean the drains in the sinks and garbage disposal with a half cup of baking soda followed by a half cup of vinegar to eliminate any unpleasant odors.

MERRY CHRISTMAS Wishing all my readers a safe and Merry Christmas. Take some time to chill out and enjoy yourselves.
