Real Estate Opens Before
After
Making your home appealing By Maggie Calloway
O
nce you make the decision to put your house on the market you enter into a parallel universe. No longer should you think of your house as the family home but instead as a product to be sold in a very competitive market. This is the time to put the home’s best foot forward. Make a plan, de-clutter. Remove posters from walls, organize closets and bookshelves. Once the whole house has been given a major clean-out, go around the house and make note of walls which need a fresh coat of paint, you need to achieve a perfect finish. Floors need to meet the same standard. “Right now a seller is in a very competitive market, especially in Vancouver.
Buyers are reacting against over-inflated pricing,” says Ron Sowden, CEO of home staging company Dekora. “We are finding that homes which are well-presented and realistically priced are selling quickly; sellers who are pricing to last years market are having a harder time because that market is over now. There is a bit of a stand-off in the market with buyers not willing to pay inflated prices and sellers not willing to lower the asking price.” It makes sense in this market to do everything you can to stand out. There is a school of thought that says a buyer makes a decision in the first 20 seconds as to whether the house appeals to them or not. Very little of this is expensive; all you need is a few weekends dedicated to pulling the house together. Who knows, once you have given your home a full-on facelift you may decide to stay!

Charm: Prior to being put on the market, this two-bedroom condo in Yaletown’s City Crest building underwent a substantial renovation. The home is now resplendent with gleaming wood floors, fresh paintwork throughout, and Hunter Douglas roller blinds. The kitchen has been upgraded to showcase quartz countertops with a matching backsplash, new cabinet fronts, stainless-steel faucets, sink, and appliances, and recessed lighting. The unit benefits from its corner location with a triple aspect vantage point and floor-to-ceiling windows that ensure the home is bathed with light, and provides views across the city with

some water vistas. The floorplan is versatile and features cross-hall bedrooms, and a solarium/den that could be used as an office. City Crest’s amenities include a gym and a recreation room, and landscaped communal gardens. Pets and rentals are allowed, although pets have some height restrictions. This property information was provided by Nicola Way of BestHomesBC.com and AssignmentsCanada.ca.
