OPPORTUNITYKNOCKS!

By Jason GadboisState Farm® agent

Would you spend $10 to$20 to keep your fur-nishings, floor cover-

ings and keepsakes intact?Consider spending that

money on new washing machinehoses, and you may be able tosave yourself from a lot of incon-venience, mess and the loss ofitems that could never bereplaced.

Washing machine hose fail-ures cause as much as $150 mil-lion in damage each year tohomes in the United States andCanada. But by taking a few pre-cautions, you can greatly reduceyour chances of getting soakedby a leaky washing machinehose.Inspect those hoses

Make it a point to periodical-ly inspect your washing machinehoses for signs of wear and tear.Look for bubbles, cracks or fray-ing. If you see any of these signs,turn off the water supply to yourwasher and replace the hoses.Can I replace them myself?

Replacing washing machine

hoses is as easy as hooking up awater hose to a water spigot. Anda new set of hoses costs between$10 and $20 at most home repair,hardware and plumbing supplyoutlets.

To install new hoses, firstshut off the water supply to yourwashing machine. Close themain shutoff valve in your house

if a valve closer to your washingmachine is not available.Unscrew the old hoses one at atime, draining any water into thewashing machine.

Carefully line up the threadsand screw the hoses on tightly.Once you’ve installed the newhoses, open the shutoff valvesslowly. Run the machine through

a cycle and check carefully forleaks.

Carefully move the washerback toward the wall, keepingthe hose free from kinks or tightbends. Allow at least four inchesor 11 centimeters between thewater connection and the back ofyour washer.Anything else?• Turn off the water supply to thewasher if you plan to leave yourhome for more than one day.Most washing machine manufac-turers recommend shutting thewater off anytime you are notusing the machine.• Consider installing or having aprofessional plumber install asingle-lever shutoff valve, whichmakes it easier to turn off thewater supply to your washingmachine.• Another option is a water ham-mer arrestor, which absorbsincreased water pressure whenthe electric valve in your washershuts off. There are types thateasily attach to the valves whereyour hose is connected.• Make sure everyone in yourhouse knows where the watershutoff valve is and how to use it.

Leaky washer hoses: Don’t get soaked

Help your

children save for the future

RRSP contributions can later be used as a source of funds for a down-

payment on a home.

Our children have more than

we ever had.

But we also have more

choices than our parents did, espe-

cially when it comes to investing

and planning for our children’s

future.

As parents, we should start

planning on how we can help our

children get into home ownership

earlier.

Let’s take a look at all the

money our kids get from birthdays,

special accomplishments or even

just as a treat.

Also, many of our children

work part-time. But with kids

being kids, it’s pretty normal for

most of them to spend it as fast as

they get it.

My suggestion is to help

your children understand their

options and how important it is to

start saving now for their future.

Review their spending by

looking at three months of their

bank statements.

Your first step is to review

your children’s income and esta-

blish how much RRSP room they

have to contribute.

As an example, my son

worked at a grocery store for years

while going to school and had tons

of RRSP room accumulated.

Rather than giving cash

gift, we started making contribu-

tions to his RRSP.

You can even ask your

family to make contributions to

your children’s RRSP instead of

other gifts.

These RRSP contributions

can later be used as a source of

funds for a downpayment on a

home.

Another tip is to invite a

mortgage specialist to a family

meeting.

Ask them to give you

examples of what a mortgage

would look like on a beginner

home.

Explain the downpayment,

interest rates and all the termino-

logy of home financing.

Let them show your family

the benefits of planning now and

help your kids understand how this

RRSP will help them out in the

future.

After this meeting, you

and your children will have a bet-

ter idea as to what kind of down-

payment will be needed.

It may even help your chil-

dren understand the future benefits

- that these contributions into their

RRSP will help them get into their

first home sooner, even if that

dream still looks far away.

By teaching your children

how to save now, you’ll be setting

them up on a path to success.

Selling your homeThinking of selling your home? Sitting on the fence? Not sure where to start? It’s one of the biggest

decision you’ll make but here are some things you should consider. It may help you get off the fence.

Liz’ Tips

Liz’ TipsBy: Liz Quinn of Design’in-MindMaximum Impact with Minimal InvestmentBrockville, Ontario

PricingYour Home to Sell

This is a homeowners “mini-guide” to

selling a home for the most money in

the shortest time.

Getting to know your Market

A comparative market analysis is an

indicator of what today's buyers are

willing to pay for a home. It compares

the market activity of homes similar to

yours in your neighbourhood. Those

that have recently sold represent what

buyers are willing to pay. The homes

currently listed for sale represent the

price sellers hope to obtain. Those

listings that have expired were gener-

ally overpriced or poorly marketed.

It is essential to prepare a comparative market

analysis for your home based on the most cur-

rent market information and to establish the

proper list price for your home.

The Benefits of Pricing it Right

Many sellers believe that if they price their

home high initially, they can lower it later.

Often, when a home is priced too high, it expe-

rienced little activity. Gradually the price will

come down to market value, but by that time

it's been for sale too long and some buyers will

be wary and reject the property.

On occasion, the price is dropped below the

market value because the seller runs out of time

and the property sells for less than it's worth

Preparing to Have the Home Inspectedby a Professional

One step which is inevitable in the home selling

process is a visit from a professional home

inspector. The following are steps which should

be taken to ensure your inspection is a success.

It is a good idea to be aware ahead of time of

any serious problems which may be present in

your home so you will be prepared to deal with

them.Walk around with the inspector and don’t

be afraid to ask questions. You might want to

point out items that concern you..

Ensure that past home renovations have not

damaged the structure of the home. Other struc-

tural damages to look for are whether pests

have caused extensive damage, if settling of the

home over time has caused damage to the foun-

dation, and/or whether support beams and joists

are strong and sturdy or cracked or otherwise

damaged.

Ensure that the electrical and wiring systems

are safe and acceptable. All homes should have

a minimum of 100 amp service.

Ensure there are no leaks evident.Water can run

and leak into odd and unexpected places,

causing extensive damage over time. Plumbing

fixtures, water-using appliances, drain pipes,

water supply inlets and outlets and basements

and roofs can all be causes and sources of water

damage.

Ensure that safety issues are resolved in your

home. Trim foliage which may impair a safe

view of the area around the home, ensure that

windows open easily and close and lock

securely and that entrances/exits to the home

are able to be securely locked. Hidden curbs,

loose railings on stairs, unused wells which are

not capped etc., should be corrected.

With respect to plumbing, ensure that all

fixtures are in good working order and free

from large cracks. Faucets should run easily

and shut off completely, proper grouting and

caulking should be present around bathtubs, toi-

lets and other fixtures should be bolted down

securely and drains should be clog free. The

home's water heater should be in good working

condition. – If your current hard water prob-

lems have caused deterioration or discoloura-

tion in your faucets, it is time to buy new ones.

It may also be time to consider a water treat-

ment system to eliminate the issues at hand.

All heating and cooling systems may have to

be checked to ensure they are relatively up to

date, clean, in good working condition and have

clean filters. Refrigerant should be checked in

any air conditioning units and may require

proper servicing.

Also, a general, unbiased overview of your

home by a neighbour or friend may reveal

matters which need to be dealt with that you

may have overlooked.

Checklist your House

A checklist to help you sell your house for the

highest value price in the least amount of time.

Your local professional home stager / organizer

who can provide you with one. Not sure who to

call? Local business owner Liz Quinn of

Design’in-Mind 613-342-4141 has been

servicing clients since 1985.

DressYour House for Success.

Now that you have made the decision to sell

your home, you'll want to look at it differently.

It's now a house for sale and looking at

it through "buyers' eyes" can help you package

it to sell more quickly. – If you were selling

your car, you would most certainly vacuum

and clean and polish it to get the best price

possible!

Where do I Start?

When you begin preparing your house for

market, start outside and work your way in,

keeping in mind the importance of first

impressions. - It is estimated that more

than half of all houses are sold before

the buyers even get out of their cars!

Stand across the street from your

house and review it's curb appeal.

What can you do to improve that very

first impression? Are there weeds

growing in the interlock? Are the

shingles curled up? Have the shrubs

overtaken the yard? Is the garage door

lopsided?

When you're ready to begin work, use

the checklist available from your

stager or your sales representative and

add your own "To Do" list in the blank

space provided. The checklist follows

six important steps to packaging your

house. Even if you can't get to every detail, the

checklist will help you keep in mind the basic

steps. Remember, you need to think like a buyer

now and have a critical eye!

Six Key Steps

1. De-cluttering makes every room look larger

and feel neater. If a house is cluttered, buyers

have trouble imagining themselves in it. By

removing or storing things you don't need,

you create a roomy, comfortable feeling that

will be inviting to prospective buyers.

Remember, when in doubt, throw it out, sell

it or give it away.

2. Cleaning makes your house easy for buyers

to explore and give the impression that it has

been well cared for. Be sure every room

smells as good as it looks, paying special at-

tention to pet areas, nurseries and bathrooms.

Some fresh paint and a one-time professional

cleaning service can make your house look

like new. Buyers may have allergies: remove

pet dishes & waste containers.

3. Repairing eliminates buyers' objections

before they arise. If you think something is

too much trouble to fix, chances are buyers

will, too. Buyers tend to think repairs will

cost more then they do.

4. Neutralizing helps buyers see their own

things in you house and picture themselves

living there. Neutral paint, decor and carpet-

ing create a home for any lifestyle. Eliminat-

ing distracting colours and accessories lets

buyers concentrate on positive impressions.

5. “Dynamizing” makes the exterior and every

room of your house special. Since it is

competing with many other houses on the

market, including the one down the street,

you need to make it stand out and be memo-

rable. Look in magazines and catalogues for

ideas. From the front door to the basement,

from fresh flowers to fresh smells, this is the

finishing touch.

Showtime is the final step before each timeyour house is shown. Identify jobs and assign

them to make this step quick and easy. If you

keep up to chores daily, SHOWTIME will be

easier for you and your family. Plan a fun ac-

tivity - away from the house - during showings.
