Check out this great post from Royal LePage Canada about first-time buyers.
If you are looking to buy your first home but worry that your down payment isn’t enough, you aren’t alone. In a recent survey by Royal LePage and Sagen, 62 per cent of first-time homebuyers who purchased over the past two years said they were worried their down payment wouldn’t be enough to get the home they wanted, reflecting a five point increase since the survey was issued in 2019. This statistic soared in Canada’s two most expensive cities. Seventy-five per cent of first-time homebuyers in Toronto and 69 per cent in Vancouver said that they worried their down payment would not be enough. In Montreal, 63% of survey respondents reported feeling worried about the size of their down payment before purchasing their first home.
For most Canadians, buying a home is the largest transaction that they will make in their lifetime. Working with a real estate professional that understands the market can help take some of the stress away by showing you comparable neighbourhoods that are less competitive, and going through your list of must-haves and where you would be willing to compromise. Real estate professionals can let you know about current successful buying strategies and what you can negotiate, even in a hot market. Click here to read the full article.

The first summer evening on the patio is often accompanied by the arrival of mosquitos. Rather than retreating indoors, consider your options to create a bug-free area with a screened-in patio or porch.
A big part of the appeal of owning a home becomes ultra-apparent during the summer months when we can spend time outdoors. You can extend your summer enjoyment with screens that are fitted to patio and porch openings. When done right, these options appeal greatly to future buyers.
Set a budget, then exploring a variety of options to fit your pocketbook and tastes. With a wide range of products on the market – from motorized retractable screens to do-it-yourself kits from your local building store – there’s something to fit every budget. Start with a trip to the library and research ideas through books and publications on decks, porches and patios.
As far as dos and don’ts, obtain more than one quote if you are looking to engage a professional service to plan and install your screens. If you plan to do the project yourself, make sure your basic structure is in good shape. If not, be sure to budget for additional material costs and make repairs before you begin. Measure accurately and ask to see assembly instructions in the kit you buy.

There’s no better way to welcome the warm weather than by creating an outdoor oasis that will leave you itching to spend more time in your garden, while drastically increasing your home’s outdoor aesthetic. With these tips, you’ll have a garden your neighbours can’t help feeling envious of.
Raise the bar. Raised flower beds and boxes are on trend this year. Not only are above-ground gardens practical for growing vegetables and herbs, the eye-catching designs add a touch of personality to your garden. Plus, they’re great for growing flowers in smaller spaces.
Take a walk on the wild side. Gone are the days of perfectly sculpted flower beds with colour-coordinated annuals. These days, wild gardens with lots of texture and colour are in style. Embrace a more natural look by planting options like ornamental cabbage, climbing vines, wild flowers, and moss.
Go green. Late spring is the perfect time to put new trees in the ground. Nurseries are likely to be well-stocked with fresh selections, and the ground will have thawed enough to dig deep. Plus, having young trees on your property will be very attractive to future buyers.

2020 was a crazy year for real estate and it doesn't look like things are going to slow down any time soon!
Housing demand exceeded expectations in the second half of 2020. The supply of homes available for sale failed to keep pace, driving home prices higher and pushing unmet buyer demand into the new year.
Science has proven that shorter, darker, colder days can impact our moods for the worse, resulting in Seasonal Affective Disorder (“SAD”). Check out this article from HGTV with some great ideas on ways to help you beat the winter blues.

Winter Checklist:
You may be wondering if it’s a bad idea to list your home for sale in the winter months because the market is slower. But with the delayed spring market pushing buyer demand into the fall, this year has proven different. In 2020, low inventory in many urban markets coupled with low interest rates have demand outpacing supply. As a result, this has created a hot winter market. It’s looking like the colder weather will bring big advantages to both buyers and sellers.
1. Most buyers aren’t just looking Winter homebuyers tend to be more motivated—especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Most people who are looking for a house in the midst of winter are on a deadline—they may have been relocated for work, or they’re taking advantage of time off during the holiday season. Chances are, if they come to see your home in the winter (and during a pandemic), they’re serious buyers.
2 More affordable services Buying or selling a house is no cheap task. No matter what side of the transaction you’re on, you have to pay REALTORS®, home inspectors, lawyers, and moving companies. The good news is, because the winter season is traditionally slower, you’re more likely to find lower fees and better deals. Moving companies, for example, can offer discounts of as much as 30 per cent off their summer prices.
3 A clearer picture It may seem like a drawback at first, but if you’re looking at a property in the off-season, the landscaping will be barren and natural light muted. However, if you can fall in love with a house at this time, it can only get better. On the flip side, sellers won’t have as much landscaping to keep up with—but you will have to make sure your driveway and walkways are shovelled and salted for ice.

The time between inking the deal on your first home and move-in day is sure to be filled with anticipation and excitement. You’ll be thinking about the empty rooms in your soon-to-be-occupied home and the promise they hold. But it’s important to give yourself some time in the home to let your ideas evolve into better ones.
By all means visit stores, gather information, ideas, colours and fabric samples to begin your decorating plans. But remember, a truly comfortable and functional home that reflects your personal style will develop over time. These tips will help first-time homeowners to furnish and style their new abode:
1. Resist the temptation to immediately purchase new furnishings. Organize and move in with what you have, placing furniture in rooms and finding places for items that go in closets, cupboards and drawers.
2. Measure and make a plan for each room on paper. Explore options on graph paper and consider using masking tape to mark out dimensions on the floor or walls of any furnishing you might purchase. This will ensure the pieces will work within your available space.
3. Consider unwanted elements. Home ownership affords you the luxury of making choices. If you don’t like a lighting fixture or the wallpaper border in the kitchen, you are at liberty to replace it.
4. Consider any changes you would like to make to flooring. Carpeting from the previous owners may be crying out for replacement. Research and price out replacement options with consideration to available products, the temperature underfoot, and any need for noise reduction.
5. Create a budget. Apply a realistic price tag to your wish list and establish a time-frame to achieve your goals. Do things one step at a time and keep a tally against your budget as you go.
Soon enough, your first home will reflect your style and dovetail with your lifestyle. More information can be found at www.royallepage.ca/realestate/info-and-advice/

Assessing the best return for your investment is paramount when undertaking home improvement projects. This means putting a priority on the jobs that are likely to be more valuable than others.
Summer is an ideal time to get outside and invest your time, money and resources in a project that is going to pay back when it comes time to sell your home. We recommends investing in these top five outdoor home improvements:
1. Build a deck or patio. A deck or patio not only adds visual interest and enjoyment, it is also a way to add to the resale value of your home. There are many designs and approaches to consider so start with a trip to your local library to research ideas and choose an approach that fits your time and budget. Be sure to plan well ahead and to check your municipal building requirements as a building permit may be required for decks above a certain size and height.
2. Install a sprinkler system. On average, homeowners use 50 per cent more water than necessary on their lawns. This increases hydro bills and may subject your basement to seepage and your garden from damage from over watering.
Automatic lawn sprinkler systems are designed to allow proper irrigation through timing and even water distribution. Although there’s an initial cost of installation, you could save money in the long run.
3. Landscape your property.Landscaping is a great way to add visual interest to an outdoor living space. Whether planning a garden or building a pond, landscaping often results in a significant return on your investment. However, always consult a trained professional before tackling a landscaping project to ensure that your project has all the elements of a professional project.
4. Build or replace a fence. Defining the limits of your property is important for a variety of reasons, including privacy, security and safety. Considering your specific needs will help you to choose the right fence. Ultimately, the fence has to fit with how you use your yard. Do your research and consult with neighbours to determine if you can complete the project jointly.
5. Re-shingle a tired roof.A strong, durable roof is an essential component of your home’s overall health and functionality. If your roof is showing signs of wear, such as raised shingles or water seepage, choosing a qualified roofing contractor is a good first step. If you decide to do the job yourself, you’ll want to estimate the materials required accurately, consider disposal options for the old shingles, and ensure that you have plenty of hands available to make light work of a rigorous one-day job.
