Home staging is something every homeowner thinks they can do on their own. The reality, of course, is that home staging can be difficult and expensive—something most homeowners don’t realize until they actually try to stage their own.

Imagine walking into a big box store. You’re looking for some new towels. You go to the linen section – but there are socks, shoes, shampoo – all these unnecessary items cluttered around and not a towel to be found. You’ll probably never go there again, right?

Then you go to another store where everything is placed well, all cleaned up, clutter-free, and up-to-date. This will definitely make you feel more comfortable, right? You’ll walk out with those towels and a smile.


This can be the case with a house as well.…

(NC) Bigger isn’t always better. Small spaces have proven to be the preferred living option for
many of us since they require less maintenance, cleaning and budget for furnishing and
renovations. However, adding personality and making the most of a small living space can be a
challenge. Sharon Grech, Benjamin Moore colour and design expert shares her tips on how to
make the most of a small space.
Invest in multi-purpose furniture
Instead of filling the room with separate pieces for different purposes, invest in furniture that
serves more than one function. Consider a sofa that can easily transform into a bed, allowing
your living room to double as a guest bedroom. Alternatively, opt for a coffee table that you can
extend or adjust in height to serve as a dining…

1.  Add a fresh coat of paint:  One of the easiest ways to make your home look brand new is by adding a fresh coat of paint to the exterior. Choose a colour that complements the architectural style and surroundings of your home.

Buyers will notice closets, storage rooms, and other storage spaces. So, it pays to make those areas look as spacious and functional as possible. Here are some tips on how to maximize your storage spaces and make them more appealing to buyers:

1. Declutter and organize: A cluttered and disorganized storage space can give the impression that there isn't enough room. Start by decluttering and getting rid of items you no longer need. Then, organize what's left by using shelving, baskets, or containers to keep everything in its place.

2. Paint or replace shelves:  If your shelves are looking worn or outdated, consider painting or replacing them. Adding a fresh coat of paint can give the space a clean and updated look. Replace old, sagging…

Thanks to a surge in the condominium market, August sales reached a record high with 2,729 sales. Despite the record levels reported over the past several months, year-to-date sales are still down by 15 per cent compared to last year.

While new listings did improve compared to levels seen this time last year, the sales-to-new-listings ratio remained elevated at 87 per cent, preventing any significant shift from the low inventory situation. Inventory levels in August dropped to 3,254 units, not only a record low for the month but well below the 6,000 units that are typically available. Low inventory combined with high sales this month ensured the months of supply remained low at just over one month.

“Higher lending rates have caused many…

Are you thinking about finding your next home? It can be tricky balancing what you want with what you can practically afford.

 

Here are some tips that can make buying your dream home more doable:

1. Save for a larger down payment. A larger down payment can lower your monthly mortgage costs and possibly help you get a better interest rate.

2. Look at neighbourhoods that are less “in demand.” Some areas have the reputation of being desirable or exclusive and – as a result – expensive. But, there may be neighbourhoods that are not as in demand and yet ideal (and more affordable) for you. Explore that possibility.

3. Consider a fixer-upper. A home that needs some work may be more affordable, and you can save money by doing some of the…
