Bathroom renovation with sophistication!

Posted on December 21st, 2011 by louise

What our clients have to say
Although we knew that we wanted to have a brighter and more open ensuite bathroom, we weren’t quite sure just where to start. Only after we talked to Louise and Joseph at Pair Home Design did we realize the options that were possible. They had some great ideas and could see many things that we had missed. Their 3D computer program was a big help, allowing us to consider the many ideas they presented. Once we agreed on a plan and a budget, Pair Home Design went to work. We appreciated the fact that Joseph and Louise were always on time, they came with their own trades and contractors, were tidy and respectful of our house, and gave us a lot of expert advice and support. They did the job in the time frame promised, and were unfailingly cheerful and upbeat.

We were delighted with the result and are pleased to recommend this very professional husband/wife team.

Pair Home Design will work with you to ensure your renovation project is a unique and positive experience!

Organise & Declutter your garage for living or selling

Posted on September 5th, 2011 by louise

Tips to organize your garage for selling or living www.pairhomedesign.com

While we still have some Summer left this is a great time to organize your garage especially if your considering selling your home in early Spring, YES! the garage needs to be accessible for potential buyers A. to see that their vehicle will actually fit in the garage and B. buyers need to floor space and see YOUR HOME at its very best if you want TOP DOLLARS, First Impressions count!

If you have a garage that has become a storage room then here are a few tips to get you started. If your selling potential buyers want to see floor space and see that their vehicle will fit in your garage

If it means renting a storage locker short term then give this some consideration. Potential buyers want to feel a sense of spaciousness.

Start by moving out big items from the garage into holding area outside if possible
Get large heavy duty constructor bags and Tupperware boxes sort items as follows:

•a. items to keep b. items to donate c. items to recycle d. undecided!

1. Build good racking to store boxes / tools
2. Heavy duty hooks can be used to hang bicycles, garden toolsClick to show “Garage Storage” result 16
3. Donate, give away and recycle items you do not use or like
4. Create zones 1. Bicycles 2. Garden tools 3. Work tools 4. Paint cans etc
5. Ensure garage door open / closes properly
6. Ensure lights and outlets are in working order

Items that are seasonal or not being used before you move can be boxed, labeled and stored in a storage locker.

Unwanted items can be sold at a garage sale or various websites allow you to advertise “Free Stuff”, sell or give away to friends and family.

Once you have the garage cleared, clean floor thoroughly with a good cleaner, repair any concrete cracks or damages. You can also paint the cement to give a nice clean fresh look.

Finally, Move items you NEED & USE back into the garage ensure boxes are labelled and organize into zones so that you can find items easier.

If you are a friend / family member needs helping de-cluttering Pair Home Design will de-clutter their home & redesign one or more rooms to bring a Fresh and exciting new look all this can be done in a “One Day Redesign Makeover”

Home buyers heading back to Chilliwack

Posted on July 20th, 2011 by louise

This information was Posted in the Chilliwack Sardis Harrison Agassiz Hope Friday July 22nd 2011 Real Estate Weekly.

Home Buyers have jumped back into the Chilliwack real estate housing market, snapping up 230 properties last month and setting the stage for a robust recovery.
June sales in Chilliwack and area were up significantly from the month before and surpassing last June’s 224 sales.
“We are encouraged to see positive growth for the first time this year” said Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) president Mark Anderson.

“Following the recent economic downturn, we are seeing a return to stable market condition s and a continuance of low interest rates”

Andersen added that wile interest rates are expected to end the year slightly higher than now, the Bank of Canada is not showing signs of moving the rates up significantly. With an inventory of more that 1,820 homes on the market, the selection is excellent and the listings represent a wide range of prices.

Of the 230 sales last month, the highest number (37) were homes in the $350,00 - $399,999 range, followed closely by 35 sales in the $400,000 - $499,999 range and also 35 sales on homes in the $300,000-$349,999 price range.
(This compares to Greater Vancouver, where the typical house sold last month for $901,000).

“What that is telling us is that there are great values in move-up homes and new construction” said Anderson. Due to a sluggish Spring sellers are motivated and buyers can get so much more for their buying dollars”.

While home sales typically slow down in the Summer, the CADREB president anticipates that with the better market conditions, Chilliwack and area should fare well over the Summer as families seek out larger newer homes in time for the new school year. Buyers from Greater Vancouver should be delighted, both with the excellent schools in Chilliwack, and the much lower prices.
