Settling In: Essential Steps Before Moving into Your New Home

Congratulations on your new home! Before you start unpacking boxes and decorating, it’s important to tackle a few key tasks. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the essential steps to take before moving into your new abode. By following these guidelines, you’ll ensure a smoother transition and set the foundation for a comfortable and organized living space.

1. Change the Locks
One of the first things you should do is change the locks on your new home. While the previous owners may have handed over the keys, it’s a good idea to have a fresh start for security reasons. Hire a professional locksmith to replace the locks on all exterior doors, providing you with peace of mind and control over who has access to your home.

2. Deep Clean and Pest Control
Before moving in your belongings, give your new home a thorough cleaning. Wipe down surfaces, vacuum carpets, and mop floors to eliminate any dust or dirt left behind. Additionally, consider scheduling a pest control service to address any potential insect or rodent issues. Starting with a clean and pest-free environment will make your new house feel fresh and inviting.

3. Utilities and Services
Ensure a seamless transition by setting up utilities and services in advance. Contact the appropriate providers to schedule the connection of electricity, water, gas, internet, and cable services. Plan ahead to avoid any service disruptions and ensure you have essential amenities available from day one.

4. Home Safety Measures
Take a proactive approach to home safety by checking and installing essential devices. Test smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers to ensure they are in working order. Consider installing a home security system or updating existing ones for added protection. Taking these precautions will help create a safe and secure living environment for you and your loved ones.

By following these essential steps before moving into your new home, you’ll ensure a smoother transition and set yourself up for a comfortable and organized living space. Taking care of tasks such as changing the locks, deep cleaning, setting up utilities, and prioritizing home safety will give you peace of mind as you embark on this exciting new chapter.

How do current benchmark prices compare to the peak prices we saw around March 2022?

 

Well, it’s an interesting story. Niagara’s average decrease from that peak is about -21.7%. That’s the difference between a regional peak price of $820,100 in March 2022 and $641,600 in March 2023. But what about competing offers? Market-priced homes are starting to attract multiple offers again, especially those that are in line with benchmark prices for their respective cities. So, if you’re looking to buy, don’t be afraid to jump in and make an offer!

What About the Number of Sales (Niagara’s Spring Market is Looking Good Part 2 of 3)ย 

So, you might be wondering, “What’s the deal with the number of home sales in Niagara these days?”

Well, it seems that most areas in the region are seeing a boost in sales compared to the previous month. Some are more significant than others, with St. Catharines leading the pack with an impressive 61 extra sales in March! However, there are a few exceptions to this trend. Niagara Falls and Thorold saw a slight dip in sales, with about 6 fewer homes sold in March than in February. And poor West Lincoln only had 1 less sale in March compared to the previous month.
