If you're planning on selling your house, you may want to hold off on growing marijuana.
Under Canada's new Cannabis Act, individuals can grow up to four plants per household for personal use.
A survey, carried out by real estate website Zoocasa.com, found more than half of those who responded would be less likely to consider buying a home in which marijuana had been grown.
Windsor-Essex real estate agent Dan Gemus says there's still a stigma attached to cannabis use.
"There is always an effect in real estate with perception," says Gemus. "If someone is going to see a house and there's the maximum of four plants being grown on the property, people are going to have a perception."
He told AM800's The Afternoon News that potential buyers could raise a number of questions.
"They're going to wonder how that was handled? How are the moisture levels at the property? Is there issues with electrical because of what's been happening with the growing of cannabis in the property," says Gemus. "So for those reasons, I think, that's where we're going to start having some concerns."
Multi-unit properties present a unique challenge as well.
"It could be a concern with the amount of moisture, you could still have some mould and spores and some pesticides in the home that could definitely affect the air quality particularly in multi-unit dwellings," says Gemus. "So it's not only affecting the people in that one unit using it, but it's also affecting the people around them and the units next door."
The survey also found 64% of people believe smoking cannabis in a home would harm its resale value.
The Dan Gemus Real Estate Show airs every Sunday from 7am to 8am and Tuesday from 7pm to 8pm.
