We are fast approaching the holiday season, and that tends to also mean entertaining. Having friends or family over to celebrate is a lot of fun, but it’s also a responsibility. You want your home to be spick and span for your guests, but starting major repairs would throw your plans into disarray. So, here are some updates you can and should undertake to make your hosting a success:
- Make sure your entryway is well-lit – You don’t want your guests to trip on their way into your home. So make sure your exterior lights are in working order or install new ones.
- Give your floors a thorough clean – Remember, if you have carpets, they will need to dry after a cleaning.
- De-grime your bathroom – Spray hydrogen peroxide onto grimy grout, leave it for around 10 minutes and then wipe it off.
- Make sure all your kitchen appliances are in full working order – Check stove burners, adjust fridge/freezer temperature, clean your dishwasher, etc.
- Prepare for children – If children will be among your guests, make sure everything is ready for them, too. Prepare a changing area for young children and some distractions for children of all ages.

The findings echo a broader North American trend. In the United States, the median first-time buyer age has climbed to a record 40, according to the National Association of Realtors — up from 33 just a few years ago — as higher rates and decade-long price gains delay ownership for younger households. 👉 Read the Article Here
