Renovating to Sell Your Home

The housing market throughout the Okanagan Valley continues an upward trend prompted by a tight housing supply and rising interest rates. New buyers are taking advantage of mortgage rates now before the Bank of Canada increases them again. Demand for new housing has slowed despite some selling their homes in the Lower Mainland and moving to the Okanagan to enjoy the high quality of life offered here.

Flooring and Tile Renovation Sells Homes

Sellers who might want to take some time before listing their home might consider boosting the asking price by installing new floors or tile. It’s amazing how a new floor and a modern tile backsplash can update a kitchen or bathroom – two rooms of the house that are sure to bring scrutiny from potential buyers. Make sure your realtor points out the improvements.

Ask your local tile specialist about choosing a new bathroom or front hall tile, to make a big impact on a potential buyer. Did you know that there are tiles you can choose from that look like wood, if hardwood isn’t an option? Upgrading the tile around a fireplace isn’t a huge renovation, but can add great visual appeal to a living or family room.
