How can I improve the value of my property?The biggest factor outside of a homeowner’s control is market conditions. But other issues -- including the condition of the property, specific home improvements and neighborhood stability and safety -- can influence property values.
The greatest rise in home prices occurs when the economy is strong and the number of home sales is increasing. Though markets vary, that has occurred several times in recent history -- including the early 1970s, late 1980s and late 1990s.
Specific home improvements can increase the value above the cost of the improvements.

whose obligation is it to disclose info about property? |
Whose obligation is it to disclose pertinent information about a Lethbridge property?
In most provinces, it is the seller, but obligations to disclose information about a property vary.
Under the strictest laws, you and your agent, if you have one, are required to disclose all facts materially affecting the value or desirability of the property which are known or accessible only to you.
This might include: homeowners association dues; whether or not work
done on the house meets local building codes and permits requirements;
the presence of any neighborhood nuisances or noises which a
prospective buyer might not notice, such as a dog that barks every
night or poor TV reception; any death within three years on the
property; and any restrictions on the use of the property, such as
zoning ordinances or association rules.
It is wise to check your state's disclosure rules prior to a home purchase.
