Domicile Developments are nearly complete a brand new cluster of executive town homes right across from Dow's Lake and the Experimental Farm. These homes are over 2,100 sq. ft. and the only Energy Star townhomes within the city limits.

Thinking of buying an older home and renovating?
Did you know that you can retrofit your new home and qualify for a grant?
You can now qualify for a grant of up to $10,000 from the Federal and Provincial governments when you complete energy efficient renovations.
The Federal government's recent budget included a number of provisions that may benefit Canadian homeowners and investors. How can Canadians take advantage of the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC)?
Who can claim?
The HRTC is family-based. For the purpose of the credit a family is generally considered to consist of an individual and, if the case may be, the spouse. The amount you are eligible fo ris based on the total value of expenditures for a dwelling (house, condo or cottage).
How this works?
The 15% credit may be claimed on the portion of said expenditures over $1,000 and under $10,000 meaning you could receive up to $1,350 as a tax credit. Please note that routine repairs and maintenance do not qualify.
What are the most efficient upgrades/renovations in a home?
Buyers and Sellers alike notice these upgrades FIRST when looking at renovations:
1. Kitchen cabinets
2. Hardwood floors
3. New windows
4. Removing walls to open up space
5. Finishing the basement
6. Kitchen appliances
7. New shingles
8. New bathroom taps and plumbing
9. New bathroom tiles
Please feel free to ask me for details!
