Thinking about renovating before listing your home? Smart move—but only if the upgrades actually increase your home’s value. Not all renovations are worth the cost, and some may not give you the return you expect.

✅ Renovations That Do Add Value:

• Fresh Paint & Updated Lighting

• Minor Kitchen Refresh

• Curb Appeal Upgrades

❌ Renovations That Don’t Always Pay Off:

• Full Kitchen Remodels

• High-End Custom Finishes

• New Pool Installation

Costly and not always desirable, especially in Ontario’s climate💡 Before you spend a dollar, ask: will a buyer actually pay more for this? Want advice on which upgrades make sense for your home? I’m happy to help you make the right call!

As the weather warms up, and summer around the corner, now’s the perfect time to prepare your home for the season ahead. Here are a few must-do tasks to keep everything running smoothly:

    ✅ Repair/replace siding: Winter weather can take a toll- inspect for any damage or wear and tear.

    ✅ Service your A/C Unit: Beat the heat before it’s too late. Schedule a professional tune-up to ensure it’s         summer ready.

    ✅ Clean gutters and downspouts: Clear out spring debris to prevent water damage and foundation issues.

    ✅ Check furnace filter: A clean filter means better air quality and a more efficient HVAC system.

    ✅ Dust and deep clean: Target vents, ceiling fans and hidden corners- allergy season is here.

Tackling these small tasks now can save you money and stress down the road.
