Real Estate Section 2

No need to change batteries in newest smoke alarms NC)— Keeping your family safe just got a whole lot easier. A new line of ‘worry-free’ smoke alarms addresses the most common complaints about current devices, namely: “They go off when I cook; They chirp in the middle of the night when the battery needs changing; I don’t know which alarm to install where; and, I’m not sure when to replace them.”

Based on consumer research, leading home fire safety company Kidde developed new models that substantially reduce nuisance

alarms by using “intelligent” photoelectric technology. This new technology is deemed to be better at determining if smoke is from a real fire or another source. As well, new product packaging clearly suggests where to install each model. And, alarms will now chirp near the end of their 10-year lifespan, reminding you it’s time to replace them.

But the loudest kudos from consumers and firefighters relate to the 10-year sealed lithium batteries built into the “worry-free” alarms. They cannot be removed and most

Spring Décor Trends: Bring the beach house home NC) Why wait any longer for the full colour of spring?

While the trees thaw and the sun is shining earlier in the mornings, most of us admit we are eager for more.

So why not a fresh coat of paint inside your home? It might just be the quickest way of banishing the winter doldrums to give you a fresh start to spring.

Though do-ityourself painting is one of the least expensive options to spruce up your home, choosing the right colour palette can be a daunting and nerve-wracking task. Not all homeowners have access to a professional designer’s eye, so for ease with choosing colours, Para Paints has released what they call their Colour Trend Palette Postcards for 2014. This tool is formatted as a handy passport and all of the trends evoke a sense of escape from the icy cold winter.

One palette, or colour trend destination is called Beach House, which suggests leading with a cheerful and sunny yellow, like Para’s chosen colour of the year, Plantain Chips (PF52), and matching it with grey neutrals. Adding accent colours of bright blues and greens provides the perfect complement to create an overall seaside inspired room.

Another tropical option can be found in Island Escape, a palette built around Tahitian Pearl (PF65), a dark and vivid South Sea teal. This colour made a strong showing last year and continues into 2014, especially when paired with bright berry shades and vibrant oranges, while offset with a neutral white.

These newest palettes provide the inspiration for refreshed and rejuvenated rooms without the guesswork of choosing complementary colours. ”It can be expensive to completely redo a room, so the trick is to find a starting point for a colour refresh in your existing décor scheme,” says Garry Belfall, the senior brand manager at Para Paints. “The 2014 Colour Trend Palette Postcards are designed to help people see how vibrant colours and complementary neutrals can work together.”

It can be as simple as switching out one or two of your colour choices from an accent wall, rug, or even couch cushions. It can make a world of a difference.

importantly, they never need to be changed for the entire lifespan of the alarm.

“Consumers spoke and we listened,” says Carol Heller, a home fire safety expert for Kidde. “Homeowners love the convenience of never having to replace batteries and they appreciate the money that they save. The new line includes carbon monoxide alarms too.”

More information and family safety tips are found at www.safeathome.ca.

Tackle your attic for energy savings Start at the top, if you’re looking to reduce your heating and cooling costs—and the top is in your attic.

“If your home is more than 30 years old, chances are your attic insulation could use some bolstering,” says Carlo Racioppo, a broker at Royal LePage Realty Plus in Mississauga, Ontario. “On any list of energy upgrades, tackling the attic first allows you to start the work anytime with minimal disruption to your home and family.”

Racioppo suggests kicking off the process with an energy audit. You can check for government-sanctioned energy rebates that apply within your province and in order to qualify an energy audit is required. The assessment will determine the current Rvalue of your attic’s existing insulation, along with other metrics throughout the home. Rvalues indicate the insulation effectiveness; the higher the number the more effective it is.

Next, determine what type of insulation is best. Generally, blown-in spray foam insulation is best for attics as this method will cover all surfaces, including the rafters. This option is quick and easy to install through the services of a specialized contractor. However, if you’re looking to do the job yourself, batt insulation is an economical option, with many products to choose from, including some made from recycled materials. If you choose batt insulation, be sure to cut and fit each batt properly to achieve the greatest R-value.

PET TIP: BELIEVE IT OR NOT SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU SHOULD REALLY START GROOMING YOUR PETS WITH A DAILY BRUSHING. MY DOGS, CATS AND HORSES ARE ALREADY STARTING TO LOOSE ENOUGH HAIR TO INDICATE THAT. TWO OF MY LONG HAIRED CATS GO TO THE VET FOR A LION CUT EVERY SPRING BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIKE BEING BRUSHED AND THAT EVENT WILL OCCUR AS SOON AS IT WARMS UP A BIT. THEY ARE IN/OUT CATS BUT WE DON’T WANT THEM TO GET A COLD.

Easy green upgrades can increase the property value NC) With the big push for environmental and energy conservation, homeowners are being presented with a wide range of options and initiatives for greener living. Not only do these solutions help save the planet, but they also help us save money.

The most valuable ‘green home’ improvements are able to facilitate reduced utility bills, as well as provide year round comfort to occupants. Your home’s envelope, or the exterior-facing surfaces of the building, is typically regarded as the weakest link since it is constantly exposed to the elements like battling back the cold, reflecting the sun, guarding against rain, and pushing back the wind.

It’s important that your house can accomplish all these tasks (and more) without turning up the thermostat and without the need to constantly repair lost shingles, loose boards and damaged siding.

Reinforcing from the inside can have a strong positive impact on how green and earth-friendly a home can become.

One area of the building envelope that can be boosted is the insulation. While traditional insulation materials provide thermal comfort, they fall behind on airsealing and on their ability to create a greener home.

Spray foam insulation is an advanced alternative that can eliminate heating and cooling problems while

reducing a reliance on energy consumption. Leading brand, Icynene, explains how this is achieved: Sprayed as a liquid, spray foam insulation expands to fill all the spaces inside a wall cavity providing a total seal of all surfaces and reinforcing the integrity of the building. This modern alternative creates a barrier that leads to significant savings over the long term – both in terms of energy consumption and HVAC bills. Spray foam insulation has been known to provide homeowners as much as a 50 percent saving on their monthly heating and cooling bills due to its ability to air-seal and insulate in one step.

Easy green upgrades can increase the property value (NC) Annual spring cleaning is routine throughout the house – and now with the frequency of weather extremes, we are also advised to inspect for damage.

Weight from heavy snow and ice, for example, can have an effect on the slope of your yard or the effectiveness of your outdoor pipes and drains.

“Many of us are thankful when spring weather finally arrives, but we shouldn’t forget that winter wear-and-tear might only become evident once the ice has melted,” says Ryan Michel, spokes-

person for Allstate Insurance Company of Canada. “We recommend that homeowners check the outside of their homes in early spring for any issues in the making.”

Michel offers these tips for conducting an outdoor assessment of your home: • Check your roof, chimney, foundation, skylights and vents for cracks that could cause leaks and other issues.

• Inspect your gutters, which may have cracked in the cold weather or become clogged with

debris.

• Make sure your downspouts are directing water away from the foundation of your home.

• Take an inventory of pipes in crawl spaces that could freeze and burst next winter if left without insulation.

“It’s important to maintain the condition of your home,” says Michel. “Your annual spring clean is the perfect time to identify and make smaller repairs before any issue becomes a major concern.”

You’ve decided to sell your home – now what?

(NC) The home selling season is about to heat up. If you’ve decided to enter the market, you’re in good company,

tising and most importantly, networking.

Your Realtor will relay information about your home to a vast network of potential homebuyers in your market.

Spring tends to see an increase in real estate listings, but it also brings out the buyers. In order to achieve the best possible results, careful planning and know-how are required in the home selling process.

Receive an offer – Once you receive an offer you can either, accept, reject or “sign back” or “counter” the offer.

Negotiate the sale – Most offers require some negotiating. Once both parties have agreed on the terms of the sale, the next step will be preparing a contract.

Here is a simplified breakdown of some of the steps involved in selling a home: Consult an expert – A Realtor will help you set a price, develop a marketing plan, make your home more ‘saleable’, and act on your behalf during negotiations to ensure your interests are protected.

Set a price – Choosing the appropriate list price for your home can lead to a timely sale, so it’s important to get it right the first time. The price should be realistic – neither too high nor too low.

Prepare your home – The house should be clean and clutter free. If necessary, hire a professional stager to help make a notable first impression and enhance its appeal. Everything in your home should be in working order – make repairs where necessary.

Market your home – A marketing plan may include holding ‘open houses’, adver-

Close the sale – At the “closing” meeting, ownership of the property is legally transferred to the buyer. Your lawyer will assist you in the legal transfer.

Once you’ve closed, prepare to vacate your home and make a list of all the items you will need to turn over to the new owners. Finally, celebrate.
