The results of the 1996 Renova- tions and Home Value Survey show that improving the kitchen and bathroom of a house and doing other simple projects such as paint- ing the interior and exterior assist in maintaining home value. The top ten projects listed by the appraisers in the survey results as having the highest potential to return or "pay back" value were: kitchen renova- tion; bathroom renovation; interior painting; exterior painting; main - floor family room addition; fin- ished basement; new heating sys- tem; landscaping; addition of ener- gy-efficient features; and addition of a separate living unit to accom- modate fancily members or gener- ate rental income. "The best advice is to renovate to maintain competitiveness in to- day's market," says Allan Beatty, AACI, President of the Appraisal Institute of Canada. "Our members say that renovation should be of good quality, be appropriate to the neighborhood, and be done for a reasonable cost. In other words, keep the house looking fresh and attractive - but don't add a lot of personal custom features." The Appraisal Institute of Canada is the national professional associa- tion for real estate appraisers in Canada. Appraisers with the AACI and CRA designations are called on by business, lenders, government and judicial tribunals to provide in- formed opinions on the value of real property.
