BMOst of Summer Financial Tip of the Day: Refresh your living space this summer and add significant value to your home.
Summer can be a great time to update your home by making simple changes around the house. By replacing smaller-ticket items, such as doorknobs, light fixtures, faucets and drawer pulls, you can make a big impact at a relatively low cost.
"Minor updates and repairs around the home can make a major impact without breaking the bank," said Laura Parsons, Mortgage Expert, BMO Bank of Montreal. "Small investments can refresh your living space for summer and add significant value to a home, which can deliver a big return down the road when you sell."
BMO offers a number of products and services that can help Canadians get more out of every dollar they spend this summer. For more details on how to make the ' BMOst of Summer,' drop by a BMO branch or visit www.bmo.com .
