1️⃣0️⃣ Home Maintenance Tips for this Fall

 

1. Inspect your Roof
Leaky roofs are troublesome. Look for bent, cracked or missing shingles and replace them. If your roof is olf, consider having it replaced. It may be costly, but so is water damage from leaks.

2. Check your Roof Gutters
Clearing the gutters allows rainwater to drain properly through our downspouts, rather than spilling over the sides and potentially getting into your home's foundation.

3. Keep your BBQ grill
Grilling season is over. Take the cool down weather as a reminder to clean the grills and burners, and disconnecting the gas tank.

4. Clear your Yard
Ensure to move or cover up backyard furniture that won't react well to the cold and snow.

5. Disconnect your Outdoor Hose
Turn water off to outdoor faucets and disconnect and store your garden hose to prevent them from being frozen.

6. Inspect your Home's Exteriors for Cracks
Walk around and have a look for cracks and gaps and seal them off. Take a good look at doors, windows and entry points of wires or cables.

7. Get Ready to Turn up the Heat
Change out the air filter on your furnace (and stock up on spares), check your heating ducts and vents for dust build-up and peek inside to see if anything fell into them over the past season. 

8. Guard Against Drafts
Check your window and door seals for drafts when the weather gets cool enough. You don't want to lose heat through poor insulation. Seal any cracks with caulk or weather stripping.

9. Check your Humidifier
Winter air is dry and it has its own effects on your home's infrastructure. Clean out the filter, or replace it (if it's too encrusted). 

10. Home Safety
Check your smoke detectors to see if they are in working order and check your fire extinguisher (if you have one). Winter blackouts do happen, so if you own an emergency generator, test it out (but be sure not to do so in an enclosed area).



Poppy 2.0: Remembrance Day symbol gets a digital makeover

 

Canadians sporting poppies on their lapels can support the country’s veterans in a new way this Remembrance Day.

The Royal Canadian Legion will be offering what they describe as “digital poppies” for the first time.

Nujma Bond, who works for the Legion, explained to Global News that the digital poppies are meant to be complementary to traditional ones.

“We essentially wanted to give Canadians another option, another means of donating to the poppy campaign,” she explained.

About 20 million lapel pins will be distributed this year

Homeowners Feeling the Sting of Rising Interest Rates

 

An increase in household debt levels added to the recent hikes in interest rates means that many homeowners are starting to feel a financial “sting.”

In its nationwide WealthScapes 2018 report, the researchers found that the effects of rising interest rates were particularly acute in Metro Vancouver, where the average household incurred an additional $1,152 in interest charges in 2017.

That is more than double the Canadian national average, which was an increase in interest charges of $544, compared with the year before. Overall, said the report, Canadians paid $9 billion more in interest charges in 2017 than they did in 2016.

Know Before You Go. Get Pre-Approved Now!

 

Even though the Real Estate Market has cooled somewhat, we are still finding that people are calling us after they have an accepted offer on a property.  Sadly, often these folks can't qualify to buy a house they already fell in love with.  You can save yourself, (and your Realtor), a bunch of heartache and time by simply getting a mortgage pre-approval.  

Knowing how much home you can afford before you agree to buying is just good sense.  We can usually get you pre-approved in under a day and hold your rate for 4 months.  Then you can go ahead and fall in love with a home you can comfortably afford, and get the best rate available, and avoid getting sued for committing to purchase a home you can't.  It's a triple win! 

Call us anytime to find out how much home you can afford, we are always here to help.
