When meeting with clients who are looking to purchase a house, we sit down and have a good chat about what they would like to have. So if you’re a seller and are wondering what should be updated or are just looking to list your home and you’ve got a few of these points covered (in no particular order) — why wait?!

  1. 3+ bedrooms & 2+ bathrooms
  2. Rental suite for income helper
  3. Garage
  4. Updated windows for energy efficiency
  5. Updated heating system (not oil however) — FortisBC says the conversion to natural gas from propane will be available in 2017 — here’s the FortisBC link for more info.
