Halton Hills This Week 873 Is home restoration right for you? My husband and I pre- fer the quality of pre- drywall or plaster homes. With so much new con- struction in our area, are older homes a good investment? Imost every home is a good investment. In fact, purchasers of older homes have many advantages in the marketplace. Older neigh- borhoods often have larger, mature lots with room for expansion of the existing home. Expansion and renovation can give you all the amenities of the newer home while maintaining the character of an older home. Some neighborhoods are ripe for re-vitalization. All you need is a creative outlook. When you look at an older, run-down house, what do you see? Do you see the paint peeling or can you picture a family room at the side or rear?

Buying an older home to restore may be more affordable than other properties. Consult a REALTOR who is familiar with the area and who understands market trends. With vision and professional guidance, you could be on your way to restoring your own home. Before you buy the particular property you have selected, it is time to determine the amount of restoration needed. Hire a con- tractor to inspect the basic sys- tems to make sure you under- stand the costs ‘involved. Remember, restoration is a time- consuming process. Your objec- tive should be to hold down costs without sacrificing a quality fin- ished product. Try to arrange for low down payment on the home so that all your money will not be tied up in the purchase price; leave some for restoration work. An old home in need of restora- tion can be the beginning of a great adventure. With "sweat equity" and a little luck, your dream home can be realized at an affordable price and with a great deal of satisfaction and personal pride.
