This hot seller’s market has given sellers the impression they can do almost anything and still sell their home, however homebuyers will likely run for the hills if they see these potential problems. Remember that your curb appeal is crucial, since it IS the buyer's first impression of your home.... Buyers have a hard time seeing past bold, bright walls, and anyone looking for a move-in ready home does not want to spend thousands of dollars to paint. If you spot water stains on the ceiling, be alarmed. Damp, musty basements and leaking roofs will spook most buyers. Nobody wants to buy a house with a pest problem, which is why it is so important to be proactive and get a quarterly or semi-annual pest control contract in place. A structural problem can reveal itself as cracks in the walls, uneven floors, or trouble opening and closing doors. If ignored, the problems can get worse. A well-maintained HVAC can last up to 25 years, but an aged one could be a point of concern for buyers - and costly to replace. If your home has an old system, at the very least consider offering a home warranty to potential buyers.

This year more than ever, small businesses are counting on us. Make sure to shop local this holiday season and continue to order takeout from your favourite local restaurants!

Thinking about making a move? Here are a few reasons why the decision to sell this fall may be an easy one. . It's clear that buyers are ready, willing, and able to purchase those who were unable to buy earlier in the year are eager to be in their home before the Holidays. Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market so you can sell your house in the most favorable terms.... . Inventory is still low, which means less competition! . This keeps more buyers in the market looking to take advantage of the low rates. The housing market is prime for sellers right now, so if you've been considering making a move, contact us today to find out how we can help you. [email protected]
