Condos for Sale Downtown Toronto
If Condos for sale Downtown Toronto, be prepared to
compete against a glut of shiny new condos with fancy
amenities. While you may think your home can pretty much speak for itself,
Pinterest and Instagram makes sure buyers won’t see it that way. If you want
your condo to leave a great impression, staging is your best friend. The goal
of staging is to put the best possible face on your property in a way that
allows buyers to see its full potential, without the usual
distractions. If you are in the process of staging, here are a few
mistakes that are an unfortunate deal breaker.
“Fresh, clean, and bright” is the universal
rule of staging. Remember that your buyers may also have been viewing pristine,
unlived-in condos, so you need to live up to their expectations. Since
potential buyers are going to put in a massive investment, they are expecting picture-perfect
condos that are ideally turn-key ready, without putting in any work. This
is why giving your entire condo a fresh coat of paint is a must. You can even
freshen up tired kitchen cabinetry with a coat of paint.
Next, you need to replace wall-to-wall
carpeting or polish and refinish hardwoods, until they gleam as good as new.
Then get down to the numerous repairs you may have been putting off; replace
any broken doorknobs, deal with any creaking door or floorboards, grout the
bathroom, and fix the leaky faucet. Buyers start chipping away at the price
when they see such flaws. Last but not the least, clean every nook and cranny
of your condo, including the windowsills. Also, don’t forget the curb appeal
when you are done on the inside, since first impression matters.
Remember,
if you can smell it, you can’t sell it! Often times, the first thing that
potential buyers notice about a condo is how it smells. While most homeowners
try to mask any lingering odors or savory smells with strong air fresheners and
burning candles, don’t think for a second that buyers won’t catch a whiff of
the unwanted smells after a while. Staging experts recommend removing odiferous
items from the bath and kitchen and replacing them with warm and inviting
alternatives. Also, get rid of any mildew, cigarette smoke, kitty litter or wet
dog smells.
