Mississauga, Brampton & Caledon The Holiday season is in the air...

With the Holidays here, it is time to celebrate with friends and family, find peace, and create spaces that can foster some laughter and love.

The holidays are the perfect time to create a space that is yours to recharge and take some time to yourself.

With the constant changes in our world, the holidays are meant to celebrate with the people we love and care about. With divisions in the world, I feel it is always important to remember to be that change you seek to experience in the world. Create spaces where people can come together and enjoy the connection we feel when we get together.

The housing market continues to evolve into something different from what we have seeing in the years before the pandemic. With a limited amount of homes and properties on the market, with low inventory, this could be a great time to sell your home to get top dollar. Getting your home ready for a potential sell can mean looking at areas that you can improve. You don't need to wait until the Spring to look at selling, you can start the process anytime, and know that you will still be able to find success in selling and buying a home even during these times. Agents and Brokers are doing their best to ensure you have all the support you need to make a big move.

Wishing you and your friends and family a wonderful Holiday Season.

Be the change you want to see, and explore how coming together with your friends and family is just what the Soul needs this holiday season.

Decorate Your Home for the Holidays SAFELY AND STRESS-FREE Tis’ the season to start transforming the family living spaces with holiday lights, decorations, trees, candles, poinsettias and more. But the thought of decorating can be stressful – with so many other obligations and things to do – and that’s before you factor in the safety aspect.

So, to help make decorating less stressful, consider these options: Get a fake tree. Taking care of a real one will just give you more to worry about, and you’ll avoid the mess of a real one. You also don’t have to worry about dry branches posing a fire hazard and boxing up a fake is much easier than hauling a real tree outside. Plus, “fake” trees more than ever look like the real thing.

Stick to simple. Don’t feel pressure to cover your whole house in garland, or your entire yard in lights. Sometimes simple is better. Make the most of lights and ornaments on your trees, and as for other decorations, stick to things that are easy to set up and put away, like nutcrackers, poinsettias and other displays.

And to help minimize the risks from accidents associated with this wonderful time of year, remember the three “Ps”: prepare, prevent and protect.

Prepare. Make sure you have working smoke alarms around your home, ideally ones that are interconnected so that when one sounds, they all sound. Keep a fire extinguisher around as well, especially if you have candles and fireplaces going.

Prevent. When hanging lights, garland and other decorations, use caution when climbing a ladder and enlist the help of someone to hold the ladder and hand you things. Don’t connect more than three light strands together and turn them off when not in use. Finally, keep your tree away from a heat source – one in six tree fires are started when a tree is too close to one.

Protect. Check with your insurance agent to ensure your home is adequately covered in the event of a loss. Most experts recommend a policy with a guaranteed replacement cost provision so you can rebuild to the same quality, regardless of rising material or labor costs.

Holiday decorating is one of the best ways to create a festive atmosphere, but some holiday decorations and the task of decorating a home can pose risks and lead to stress. Fortunately, if you prepare properly, prevent and protect, you will be stress free and safe this holiday season.

S, YOU YOU C CAN AN YYEES, SELL YOUR YOU R HO H OM MEE SELL IN THE T HE WINT WINTE R IN ER Chances are, you’ve heard that the best time to list your home for sale is the spring. And while there is a lot to be said about selling your home in the spring (or even summer or fall), there are many benefits to selling your home right now – in the winter! Believe it or not, this could actually be the right time for you to sell.

If you choose to do so, follow these ideas for making the most out of your winter listing.

Price it right.

There might be a smaller pool of prospective buyers in the winter, but you’ll find that the pool is extremely motivated to buy. Someone looking to buy a home during the holidays or middle of winter has a compelling reason to do so and will be ready to move quickly. This makes your pricing strategy critical. Discuss a strategy with your real estate agent to arrive at a price that factors in and attracts fewer, but more serious, buyers.

Make accessibility a priority.

If snow and ice is a factor for you in winter, you will need to be diligent about removal. Make sure driveways and walkways are always clear of treacherous ice. Invest in a plow service and stay stocked up on sidewalk salt.

Keep things warm.

Nothing will turn buyers off faster in winter than walking into a cold house, so make sure your heating system is operating at full capacity. And make sure that’s the case for every room in the house. If there’s one bedroom that tends to be drafty, now’s the time to find out the cause and resolve the issue.

Provide visuals of your home in summer.

One major thing a buyer might not be able to get an accurate picture of in winter is your outdoor space.

Provide photos online and in person to prospective buyers that include shots of your backyard, patio, pool, garden, yard, etc., all looking their best in the summer. Your agent could also prepare a slideshow to play at an open house. Doing so gives a buyer a better idea of the home in all seasons and could really seal the deal for wintertime buyers.

Pay attention to holiday decor.

A few tasteful and neutral holiday decorations such as glowing white lights, fragrant evergreens and elegant metallic touches can really make your home glow and sparkle. But remember that less is always more – you don’t want to try and sell your home while it’s part of a Tacky Light Tour. And be sure to pack up those decorations as soon as the holidays have passed. Marketing your home with holiday lights on in the middle of January will not play in your favor.

With the help of these tips and your trusted real estate agent, the market for your house will be hot, unlike the weather outside.

HEAT AND AIR MAINTENANCE for the Holidays

Now that the holiday season is in full swing, your home is likely seeing more foot traffic from guests and family. From friends stopping by with gifts, to parties and that yearly visit from the in-laws, your heating and air units may be working overtime.

“Attention to a few items in the home can help prepare you for visiting family and friends during the holidays,” says Mike Nicholson, owner of Nicholson Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning. “Now is the time to take action on winterizing certain things in and around the home. It will give you peace of mind as the weather turns colder and holiday guests visit your home.”

Nicholson offers these five tips to make sure the home is ready for colder weather and holiday visitors:

TUNE UP THE HEATING

CHECK THE PLUMBING AS WELL

Winter often brings extremely cold temperatures, so you want to be sure your heating unit is working at peak efficiency.

To make sure everyone is warm during the cold weather, try changing out your filters to give your system the best chance of success. You may also need a comprehensive heating system check from a trusted HVAC company. A system tuneup and filter replacement can go a long way toward preventing problems from putting a chill on your holiday plans.

With the influx of visitors, toilets and fixtures will get a lot of use. If a lot of hot water is being used, it can also put a strain on your heating system. Now is the best time to take care of any maintenance and repairs. If drains aren’t flowing well and freely, plunge water into the drain first before you try to remove the trap in an attempt to clear it. Be mindful that some do-it-yourself, chemical drain cleaners can be harmful to your pipes.

Instead, consider trying a natural remedy: pour equal parts salt, baking soda and vinegar to clean out a partial clog.

If the weather gets really cold, keep the cabinet doors in front of your sink open, so that the warm air from your heating system can flow in easier, keeping your pipes warm.

CLEAN AIR DUCTS To provide fresh, allergen-free air to your holiday houseguests, you will want to perform a thorough duct cleaning. When your ducts are filthy, your filters clog up faster and force your system to work harder to distribute air. This decreased efficiency leads to higher energy bills and excessive wear and tear on your system. Removing the registers and vacuuming the outlet is a good start, but you may want to opt for a whole-house duct cleaning to really do the job. Having a HVAC technician give your ducts a thorough inspection can help guide you in the proper direction.

SEAL DRAFTY WINDOWS AND DOORS Applying caulk or weather stripping where cold air creeps in will help with energy savings. If cold air creeps in, that too will put a strain on the heating system’s ability to keep your house warm and cozy for the holidays.

Also put a draft guard under doors that lead to the exterior, and make sure the doors stay closed after people go in and out!

WINTERIZE THE EXTERIOR To prevent pipes from bursting, ensure outdoor spigots are shut off as freezing weather approaches. Have some rock salt on hand to de-ice sidewalks and driveways to make sure your holiday visitors are safe. Inspect the exterior as well to make sure there are no cracks that could let air inside, forcing your heating system to work overtime.

By following these tips, and contacting your local HVAC company to provide an inspection of your system, you will be well prepared to handle the influx of visitors and whatever mother nature throws at you this holiday season.
