HETHER PLANNING to sell the house, have it rented out, or simply for personal satisfaction, a little renovation and upgrade is always necessary to help increase its market value. In order to boost a house’s value in the market, it is first important to learn what prospective buyers or tenants are searching for in a house. For most homeowners, the biggest concern is usually the budget required for upgrade, renovation and home maintenance.

The great news is that there’s no need to spend thousands of dollars for home improvements. Just follow these 10 tips for the best home upgrades to add home value.

Knock down a wall and go for open concept. Not only will it create an illusion of a bigger space, but it is a home design trend that is very much in demand today. Just make sure to have the wall assessed for possible electrical wires housed behind it before hitting it with a sledge hammer.

1.

Make the kitchen area workable.

This means making the kitchen area a functional place where you can actually cook a decent meal. Update faucets, fix leaking pipes, buff the counters and repaint cupboards and cabinets. It is not necessary to replace everything with a new kitchen system. Simply repaint worn out furniture and replace outdated knobs with modern handles to make it look more expensive.

2.

Brighten up the bath. Bathrooms are among the most important considerations for many tenants and prospective home buyers so it is pertinent to get this area of the house right. Buff up the tiles and replace the faucets, shower heads and toilet seats. There’s no need to replace all the tiles, just those that are cracked and chipped. The trick is to find the right cleaning agent that can help whiten the tiles to make it look good as new.

3.

Add more storage. If there’s an extra wall or area of the house that does not seem to have any function, add in a laminate closet system or have a carpenter install small built-in cabinets, racks or pantries. Making every extra space of the house functional will help make it look more livable.

9

Turn that extra space into an extra room. A house with a lot of rooms will always look impressive when advertised in the market. If the house has a huge attic, a den, or extra space that can be turned into another room then by all means, fix it up to look like an additional room. Simply add in a built-in closet and a window and it should be good to accommodate.

5.

Update the lighting system. Still using an old chandelier or unflattering fluorescent lamps? Hire an electrician to place some decorative lighting fixtures or dimmers that will give the house a more modern feel and mask any unflattering curves on the walls and ceilings.

6.

Buff the floors. The moment a buyer or tenant steps inside the front door the first thing they will notice are the floors. Tiled or hardwood floors need to be buffed till it sparkles. Carpeted floors need a touch of professional carpet cleaning to make it look, smell and feel brand new.

Hiring professional cleaners is a small investment compared to the big impact it will make.

7.

Apply a fresh coat of paint on the walls or replace an uncharacteristic door with a rustic barn door. Choose modern color palettes to give the house a fresh new look.

8.

Add outdoor dining furniture in the front lawn or backyard. These areas can become extended living and dining areas.

9.

Hire an electrical and plumbing service to look at the overall state of the house. It is much better to catch the problems early on than find out much later when the problem has already worsened, such as replacing the entire plumbing system or rewiring the entire house.

10.

QUESTIONS TO ASK ABOUT YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE

With the autumn season beginning, when the kids are fully immersed in scholastics and you’re getting back into the swing of things, it’s a good time to review your home insurance coverage. As your life changes, so do your insurance needs, so take the time to ask yourself the following: IS MY HOME COVERED FOR ITS FULL REBUILDING COST? Review your policy to make sure that you have enough insurance to rebuild your home. If you have made major improvements to your home, such as adding a new room, enclosing a porch or expanding a kitchen or bathroom, you risk being underinsured if you don’t adjust your homeowners insurance coverage limits.

And if you don’t yet have a separate flood insurance policy, now would be a great time to check whether your home is in a flood risk zone at FloodSmart.gov.

DO I HAVE ENOUGH COVERAGE FOR EXPENSIVE ITEMS? Have you bought or received any valuable items since you purchased/renewed your policy? When was the last time you had the items you owned appraised? Standard homeowners insurance has dollar limits for the theft of certain types of expensive items like jewelry. This means that the insurer will only pay the amount specified in the policy – generally $1,000 to $2,000. To insure these items to their full dollar value, consider a special personal property

17M272_TREB_Issue33_Digest.indd 87732.16.3.019.indd 1 8

endorsement or floater. This coverage includes “accidental disappearance,” meaning coverage if you simply lose an item, and there is no deductible.

The best way to keep track of your belongings and make sure they are adequately insured is to create a home inventory.

DO I HAVE ENOUGH LIABILITY INSURANCE TO FULLY PROTECT MY ASSETS? Standard homeowners and auto policy liabilities pay for judgments against you and your legal fees up to a limit set in the policy. However, in our litigious society, you may want to have additional protection—that’s what an umbrella liability policy provides. An umbrella policy is an extra layer of protection that kicks in when you reach the limit on the underlying liability coverage in a homeowners, renters, condo or auto policy.

DO YOU PLAN ON RENTING OUT YOUR PROPERTY? Whether you own a second home that you plan to lease to a tenant or want to rent out your primary residence though an online service such as Airbnb, your first step should be to call your insurance professional. Depending on the rental scenario, your standard homeowners policy may not cover losses incurred while your home is rented out, and you may require a more specialized insurance policy.

Tips to add curb appeal to your home this winter.

Now that the green grass is fading and the leaves have fallen, it may seem more challenging to add curb appeal to your home. Although you cannot depend on your garden’s flowers to make a first impression, there is plenty that can be done during the snow-filled months to make your house look warm and inviting.

Here are a few tips to help you make your home sparkle during those bleak winter months.

1. Clean up! This is applicable anytime of year, but is especially important in the winter. Make sure that any debris and leaves left over from the fall have been cleaned up so that buyers can see the potential of your yard. Tidy up flower beds so that they look clean and ready for spring.

2. Add some lights. Use the long winter nights to your advantage. Add some white strands of lights to your home’s entrance or shrubbery to make it look welcoming. Also make sure your home and your driveway are well-lit. This safety feature will impress potential buyers and also make your house stand out amongst the rest.

3. Update your house numbers and the hardware on your door. This is a great way add some style to your property.

Make sure the new numbers are large enough to read from the street. This safety feature will also ensure that potential buyers can find you.

4. Add some colour. Try adding a new mailbox in a statement colour such as red. Wreaths on doors and windows are a great place to add some colourful ribbon.

87732.16.3.022.indd 1

5. Go green. Your flowers may have lost their blooms, but you can add some life to your home’s exterior with evergreens.

Two evergreens on either side of your front door make a welcoming and beautiful entryway. Try adding a Christmas tree to your front porch during the holidays.

Line your walkway with evergreen shrubs such as boxwood or juniper and add some white strands of lights to highlight them.

6. Snow removal. Make sure you remain diligent about snow and ice removal.

Potential buyers make their first impression within moments of seeing your home. Handrails and stairs should remain unobstructed and user-friendly. This simple safety tip will allow potential buyers to envision an inviting home rather than focus on a treacherous entrance.

7. Create a welcoming entryway. This also helps to make a lasting impression.

Add some style to your front porch with some weatherproof furniture. Throw in some cozy pillows, a blanket and some lanterns for lights. Try adding an old sled or skates along with some birch branches to your wintry vignette to convey a cozy and stylish feel.
