Thanks for stopping by!

Selling soon? Here's where to spend (and save).

Thinking of selling your home and want to boost its value first?
Smart updates can make your home stand out—and put extra cash in your pocket.

According to the latest data from the Appraisal Institute of Canada, these are the renovations with the highest returns right now:

šŸ” Kitchen Updates: Buyers love a fresh kitchen. Even simple updates can recoup 75–100% of your investment. Just keep your budget around 10–15% of your home's value to maximize returns.

šŸ› Bathroom Refresh: Bathroom makeovers can also deliver big, with returns of 75–100%. Think about cosmetic updates like modern fixtures, new tiles, or fresh paint for a budget-friendly impact.

šŸŽØ Fresh Paint Inside & Out: A new coat of neutral paint is one of the easiest ways to attract buyers, offering a return of 50–100%. It instantly refreshes your home's look and feel.

🚪 Window & Roof Replacements: Replacing old windows or fixing your roof can reassure buyers—and these projects typically return 50–80% of your investment.

Wondering what makes the most sense for your home? Just reach out—We are here to help!
