What kind of return is there on remodeling jobs?Remodeling magazine produces an annual "Cost vs. Value Report'' that answers just that question. The most important point to remember is that remodeling a home not only improves its livability for you but its curb appeal with a potential buyer down the road.
Most recently, the highest remodeling paybacks have come from updating kitchens and baths, home-office additions and extra amenities in older homes.

using an agent for a new home |
Can I use an agent for a new Lethbridge home?
Yes, however buyers should be aware of the differences inherent in working with sales agents who are employed by the developer, rather than traditional real estate agents. The benefit of working with a Buyer's Agent is that they work for YOU, not the BUILDER. You see, the sales representative that works for the developer is paid a commission for selling their homes. Since they work for the builder, they are in a conflict of interest. Unfortunately, they can't negotiate the best deal for you AND negotiate the best deal for the builder. A BUYER'S AGENT CAN ! ! ! They work for you and only you.
Builders commonly require that an outside agent be present, and sign in, the first time a prospective purchaser visits a site before payment of commission even is discussed.
At times when buyers use an advertisement to find the development
themselves first, builders can refuse to pay any commission regardless
of how helpful an agent may become later in the process. It is
advisable to call the development first and inquire about their policy
on compensating real estate agents if you are using one.
