Episode 29 Transcript – Renovations

This is Jessi Johnson. That is my crazy mommy and if you look there’s a hi sign, some kid broke into our house and did some graffiti. We are ripping apart our living room. We bought the house about 6, 7 months ago. [6 months.] The kitchen is all good to go and I am currently standing in the front entrance and we rebuilt the entire ceiling and put in pot lights. We rebuilt the fireplace, now we are currently ripping out the floor. I don’t know who did that. Hooligan, I’m going to get that guy. My thoughts are today for those who are trying to sell their home right now, unless you really need the money, I would recommend against it personally. Now is a good time, interest rates are very low and they have been for a long time. Now is a terrible time to sell. It is definitely a buyer’s market. My suggestion to you is to do a refinance or if you have the cash, now is the time to rip up your home as we are doing right here and do your renovations. We are putting in all new tile, I don’t know if you can see that. Putting in an all new tile floor and I’ll show you once it’s done. It’s going to cost us seven or eight grand when it’s all said and done which is going to dramatically increase the value of our home should we choose to sell this home. Well my mom will probably be here for awhile. In the event we choose to sell the house in the future, we obviously will be waiting till the market is a little more of a seller’s market or if anything, neutral. Anyways, I can do lots of refinances to help you out with the construction and many other things. My name again is Jessi Johnson at www.firsthomeinfo.ca. Have a good day!
