4 Inexpensive Repairs To Get Your House Ready To Sell

Get your house ready to sell with must do repairs that needn’t be costly

Spring is just around the corner and here in Wasaga Beach home sales are expected to be BUSY. There is a ripple effect of the hot market in the GTA plus the influence of the HST in July and the expected interest rate rises later in the year. Buyers will want to close before these extra costs are implemented.

Sellers know they have to have their homes in tip top condition to stand out but often put repairs on the back burner because of costs.

4 important areas that shouldn’t be overlooked need not be that expensive to repair:

1. Changing your furnace air filters regularly. Over 50% of all service calls start because it’s a dirty filter issue. A dirty filter affects the efficiency of your furnace and simply changing the filter is a simple and easy repair that improves the air quality and saves you money as the furnace runs more efficiently.
2. Fix leaky taps and toilets. If you’ve got a leaky tap or running toilet, that’s going to cost you money. If you don’t get it fixed you’re going to be paying more and more. It can also lead to mold damage. It can lead to a loss of your cabinetry—the flooring in your cabinetry can be rotted away and that can affect your floor underneath and the walls.
3. Dirty tiles and damaged caulking can send a message to buyers that the house may be in need of even bigger repairs. You’re first going to have an aesthetic issue and second that’s an indication that you’ve got a problem that could lead to mold and nobody wants mold in their house anywhere at all—it will grow if you don’t have proper seals in your bathroom.
4. Defective electrical sockets and wiring are not only irritating but also can be very hazardous. An electrical fire can destroy your home.
