Selling your Property Before the End of the Year

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 01:46:00 GMT

Are you thinking about selling your home before the end of the year? If so, now is the time to take action. September is your window to get your home ready and ensure a successful sale before the year is up.

The first step is to identify any repairs or updates that need to be made. These could include fixing leaky faucets, replacing outdated light fixtures, and painting rooms that need a fresh coat. And, these updates are all doable in September! By making those improvements, you’ll not only increase the value of your home but also make it more appealing to potential buyers. Next, declutter and stage your home. Remove any personal items or clutter that could distract buyers from seeing your property’s true potential. You may want to take advantage of professional staging advice to help create an inviting and neutral environment that appeals to a broad range of buyers. In addition to those updates and improvements, it’s also important to price your home correctly. The list price you present to the marketplace is crucial. It needs to reflect the up-to-date market value of your property, current market trends, and the condition of your home. While you don’t want to leave money on the table by pricing it too low, setting too high a price could lead to your home languishing on the market.
You don’t want that!

Finally, marketing your listing should start as soon as possible. High-quality photos — and possibly video — will need to be taken to highlight the best features of your property. In addition, the word will need to be spread to active buyers who are looking for a property just like yours. By taking these steps this month, you’ll be well on your way to successfully selling your property before the end of the year. We can help make that happen.

Finding the right home may be a process of elimination, but nothing beats the feeling you get when you know you've found the one. However, before you get caught up in the excitement of it all, here are five things I'd like to go over with you, if you're interested, before you put in an offer. Forward this on to family and friends who are in the market for a new home—remember, it would be my honour to help them through the process.

CRX Restoration Part II

Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:19:00 GMT

I know I'm supposed to be blogging about Real Estate but cars are more fun. After arriving home from the auto supply with bags of filler, paint, sandpaper ect. I got to work rebuilding the rear fenders on Tara's car. Luckly I'd made a template of the shape out of a convenient house for sale sign. I filled in the missing fender sections with a self adhesive expanded metal. Then the fun stuff. I mixed up some long thread bondo and worked it into stips of fiberglass cloth then applied the whole mess to the fender and expanded metal. Using wax paper on top, the concoction could be moulded into shape just before it set up. Now for some grinding and more filler.

CRX Restoration Part I

Fri, 16 Jan 2015 15:20:00 GMT

Last winter I cleaned out the garage and brought Tara's little CRX in to clean up a couple of rust spots on the rear fenders. Anyone who's worked on older cars knows where this is going. After blocking the car up and removing the mouldings I got to work with the grinder. OMG this little weekend project took on a whole new dimension. (see pics). So armed with a shopping list it was off to the auto supply store for me. (to be continued)
