Great start to 2012. I have spent the past two evenings negotiating competing offers. Last night my sellers were thrilled with their firm sale above list price and Sunday night while representing happy buyers...we won in a competition with 5 offers. 2012 promises to be another great year.

Chief economist Craig Alexander who spoke at our January ReMax Conference says the market is poised to do more of the same with an at worse expectation of staying flat with only a 1%-2% increase.

Thank you to everyone who attended.  It was my real pleasure to see everyone and catch up a little with everything that has been  happening.  I would like to share a heartfelt thank you for all your support, business, and referrals throughout the years.

I look forward to seeing everyone again at next  years' brunch...if not sooner!

If you are looking for the best bang for your renovation dollar, kitchens and bathrooms are still considered to be the projects with the highest potential to add or maintain value in a home.

If you are considering selling your home in the near future, talk to a REALTOR® for tips on how to make your home more appealing and "saleable." You may find that a new kitchen is not in your best interests and a fresh coat of paint and some minor repairs are all that's needed. Because renovating a kitchen can be one of the more expensive projects a homeowner will undertake, you'll want to consider the length of time you expect to stay in your house. 

According to the Appraisal Institute of Canada, if you are remodelling your kitchen as a face-lift prior to selling it, it's recommended that you spend no more than 10-15% of the cost of your house. If you are going to remain in your house for more than five years, you can spend 25% or more - and in most cases you will recoup the cost of the renovation when you sell.
