Kitchen Cabinets

From pillows to DIYs, these money-saving strategies will fancy up your space in no time

Making your home look expensive doesn’t need to be expensive. Here are five ways to fancy up your space on a dime. 

1. Hang large-scale art on the walls

Hanging a large abstract painting, or a fun colourful print is a great way to add dimension to a room without breaking the bank. Thrift stores and flea markets are great places to find interesting and inexpensive art.

2. Make use of textiles

Textured Rug

Using an exotic rug on the floor or adding a textured throw onto your sofa will instantly liven up a room and add intrigue to the space. Turkish or Persian rugs have a distinct look that brings warmth to any room.

3. Paint the doors on an outdated bathroom or kitchen cabinets

A fresh coat of paint is never a bad idea. Painting an old bathroom door or outdated kitchen cabinets is an easy and money-saving way to refresh a tired-looking space. Opting for a lighter colour will help open up and brighten your space.

4. Pillows are your friend

Add a few decorative pillows to beds and couches to make them appear more luxurious. Hotels do this all the time so why can’t you?

5. Try a DIY accent wall

Painting an accent wall in an distinctive hue, or even painting stripes onto a basic wall can add a distinctive quality to any room. Time is the biggest thing you’ll spend on this project.

Fraser Valley Attached Home Sales Up More Than 40%

By

REW.ca
December 4, 2017

Annual sales increase across all property types makes November the second-busiest on record

Continued brisk real estate sales in the Fraser Valley – especially in attached homes – meant that last month was the second-busiest November on record, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) reported December 4.

The board processed 1,743 sales of all property types – including commercial and industrial – in November, a rise of 39.8% year over year, although it was a 3.1% decrease compared with October 2017. For a visual overview of November’s Fraser Valley real estate market trends, see our detailed infographic.

Looking at residential sales only, the 1,532 homes exchanging hands was a rise of 37.9% versus November 2016, and 6.7% lower than the previous month. The total was just shy of November 2015’s figure of 1,570 home sales.

   The board said that attached sales represented 53% of all market activity for the month.

“Our attached market feels like our detached market used to,” said Gopal Sahota, FVREB president. “With our townhome and apartment inventory here, you have the same wide spectrum for pricing and supply that’s helping buyers of all types find success in the Valley.”

The strong market activity caused total inventory to drop 6.5% month over month to 5,129 listings, and fall 8.4% compared with November 2016.

FVREB reported 2,324 new listings in November, a 6.3% decrease from October 2017, but a jump of 29.7% compared with the slow November of 2016.

“As you can imagine, attached listings are moving fast and often facing multiple offer situations,” added Sahota.

The benchmark price for a home in the region, as a composite of all property types, stood at $755,800 at the end of November – a jump of 18.5% year over year and 0.6% higher than in October, making the figure a new record for the region.

Sales and Prices by Property Type

As has been the trend for the past year, detached homes saw the slowest market in November, although it was still strong. The 610 sales total was 29.2% higher than November last year, and a modest 3.6% drop from October’s 633 sales.

The benchmark price for a single family detached home in the Valley rose 13.2% year over year to $972,700, an increase of 0.1 per cent compared with October 2017.

Townhomes, duplexes, rowhomes and other attached houses performed the strongest in November, with sales rising a whopping 46.4% year over year to 426. That’s also 1.9% higher than in October this year.

At $505,700, the benchmark price for an attached house such as a townhouse in the Valley was 0.6% higher than in October 2017, and up 19% compared with November 2016.

There were 512 condo sales in the Fraser Valley in November – a rise of 42.5% over the same month last year, but a notable drop of 16.1% compared with the leap in activity seen in October.

This didn’t seem to damage condo prices, however. The price of a typical Fraser Valley condo rose 36.6% year over year to $376,700, an increase of 2% in the single month since October 2017.
