    1. Repainting
      The condition of walls and ceilings says a lot about a home. A coat of paint, throughout the house, will bring back 75% to 100% of the amount invested, according to the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC), in addition to the gain you will make when you sell your property. That's incredible and most importantly, not insignificant.
    2. Changing the floor coverings
      Not all floors are created equal, but all floors need to be refreshed, according to many home appraisers. It's also definitely what will sway your potential buyer from indecision to a decision to buy your property and it will be a win-win for you with this new added value.
    3. Installing a veranda
      There are three criteria that should not be overlooked when choosing a veranda installation. The first one is the arrangement with your home of which it constitutes an extension. The second is the climatic exposure, which is important to take better advantage of the heat in winter and the coolness in summer, and the last is its impact on the garden, which must remain appropriate, according to an article in the Life section of the Journal of Quebec. A good quality foundation is essential, waterproofing and the ability to collect and evacuate condensation water are other essential elements to consider when building a veranda. According to the Réseau Habitation website, to make the most of the sun's rays in your veranda, you should think about double glazing, which is the perfect solution in terms of insulation and luminosity, as well as the orientation of your veranda, i.e. southeast for very sunny regions and southwest for less sunny regions.
    4. Embellish the front of your house
      According to a landscaping agency, you must give an inviting character to your main entrance to direct visitors and their attention. In addition to being the first detail that visitors or potential buyers will notice when they visit your home, it is best to pay attention to the details. A well-maintained paver walkway or semi-circular flower beds are just a few examples and will definitely enhance the value of your home!
