Smart Home Renos 

Why not do a home renovation project that allows you to live better now and make your home more saleable later?  Think cost-effective improvements that enhance curb appeal or boost energy efficiency. 

The Appraisal Institute of Canada compared typical costs for renovations versus the impact on a home’s selling price to come up with a “payback range” for common projects. 

Bathroom reno – 75% to 100%
Kitchen reno – 75% to 100%
Installing a deck – 50% to 75%
Exterior siding – 50% to 75%
Flooring upgrade – 50% to 75%
Basement reno – 50% to 75%
