How Repiping Your Home Can Boost Vancouver Resale Value

Yes, believe it or not, repiping your Vancouver home can boost its resale value. If you look online at the Multiple Listing Service for homes for sale, occasionally you will see that the homeowner is planning to repipe the house before the sale closes. This is a fact. 

Most of us get a home inspection before buying a home. If you get a home inspection, you can bet that the inspector will notice if you have PolyB piping or decreased water pressure from old pipes that need replacing from corrosion. And the home inspector is going to put that in his report along with the potential cost of repiping. 

You would be much better off doing this work before putting your house up for sale. Then you can use this as a marketing feature, “Homeowner just spent X dollars repiping so the new buyer will not have to.” This is a big plus, aside from the fact that in some areas, insurers will not want to insure the home when repiping is needed or will charge you a premium until the work is done. 

Polybutylene pipe will be obvious to a home inspector, and pipe corrosion will also be obvious because of decreased pressure coming out of the tap and knowing the age of the home and its location.
