ARE YOU LIVING ON

FANTASY ISLAND? written by: TERRY SMITH

When preparing to sell your home, there are several factors that need attention to ensure you put yourself in a position to sell for the best price. Painting, decluttering, repairing any damage, appropriate staging... These all require a realistic assessment of your home from the buyer’s perspective.

But when setting the listing price, realism sometimes goes out the window and we might as well be asking for help from Ricardo Montalban on Fantasy Island. This is because what we WISH for overpowers our ability to judge the truth of our home’s value.

“The house down the street sold for $X, and our house is much better than that house.” Most of us have either said that or heard others say it. But is it true?

If we’re honest about it, the answer might be that we are engaging in a bit of self-delusion. Yet setting a realistic listing price is probably the most important factor in getting the best price for your home. Pricing too high might feel good, but it is really an exercise in short-term pleasure for long-term pain. It usually means you will sit on the market for a long time and ultimately sell for less than if the starting price was more realistic.

Why? At any given time, there is a certain pool of potential buyers actively looking for a home like yours. Some are working with an agent who keeps them informed about new listings, others check out real estate ads and track online listings on a regular basis. All of these buyers will see your listing fairly quickly after you go onto the market. Many will see the listing almost immediately! If it is priced realistically, you have the potential for interest from multiple buyers. If not, this critical initial period will pass with no buyers stepping forward.

Then what happens? Any potential buyers from this initial period will either move on to other properties or wait for your price to drop, which is obviously not in your interest. Having lost this initial pool of potential buyers, you will now have to wait for new buyers to enter the market. But this happens one buyer at a time, very gradually. So the wait might be long and you will have less chance For Sale of more than one party being interested at the same time. Notice how long some For Sale signs stay up? And you will very likely need a price reduction, or a series of price reductions, to coax some interest.

- 230 K

Don’t fall into this trap. Set the right price from the start. This is especially true in the current more balanced market, where buyers have more options and are no longer in a position where they feel they need to overpay.

Find an agent who really knows your area and has a reputation for pricing properties correctly and getting them sold rather than carrying listings for long periods of time. Make sure they give you a detailed and realistic assessment of your home’s value versus comparable properties. Then set an appropriate asking price and resist the temptation to price higher. You’ll be glad you did and you will have avoided a visit to Fantasy Island!

SURPRISING THINGS YOU CAN NEGOTIATE INTO YOUR HOME PRICE WHEN SELLING

By Abigail Sawyer

When you’re ready to list your home, you conduct a thorough inspection and fix any problem areas. You make your house look shiny and new by replacing broken items, upgrading light fixtures, floors, cabinets and window treatments, cleaning every inch and staging your home perfectly for your open houses.

But aside from listing the typical selling points like square footage, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, landscaping features and proximity to excellent schools, you can also list some extra features to potentially boost the price.

#48 CL_5ThingsNegotiate_DPS.indd 1

2019-02-13 11:47 AM

Here are four things around your home that you can leverage to increase its value:

APPLIANCES Appliances can be tough to move, especially if they’re built into your kitchen or laundry room. Instead of planning to take them with you, include them in the price of your home. A word of caution: Be sure the appliances match, are (relatively) new and look immaculate. If you’re in a pricey neighbourhood, buyers want move-in ready homes stocked with higher-end appliances. Spring for expensive brands, and you may be able to get more money for your home when you sell.

LIGHT FIXTURES Light fixtures are usually customized for a space, so it’s better to leave them in your house. To successfully sell them with your home, go for modern fixtures that keep the space well lit. Avoid harsh fluorescent lights and choose LED bulbs instead, which can make a room look brighter while saving energy and heat at the same time. You can put in accent lighting to show off your home’s focal points. Add vanity lighting to the bathrooms and install path lighting along your outdoor areas for more light.

WINDOW TREATMENTS When you move into your new abode, you’re not going to be taking your window treatments with you. But while you’re in your current home, it’s worth setting aside a few hundred dollars to replace the blinds, shutters and curtains. If you have older aluminum blinds or unattractive curtains, swap them with modern-looking roman or roller shades, or even faux wood shutters and blinds.

For a truly modern, convenient touch, install motorized shades that can be opened and closed with the touch of a button. When you’re selling your home, you can include these updated window treatments in your price.

#48 CL_5ThingsNegotiate_DPS.indd 2

PLAYSETS Many potential buyers have kids or plan on having kids, especially if they’re first-time homebuyers. Even if your own kids have outgrown the swing sets and play areas, consider keeping them in the yard. They have the potential to increase the price of your home and make it a more attractive option for your buyers.

Before you put your house on the market, be sure to consider these four aspects of your home. You may be able to boost the sale price by looking at these different features and leveraging them to your benefit.

7 PROJECTS THAT IMPROVE RESALE VALUE

Even if you have no immediate plans for leaving your home, it’s a good idea to approach renovations with resale value in mind. Upgrades that are likely to appeal to future buyers protect your investment while also improving your enjoyment of the home.

One key to a successful renovation is figuring out how to personalize the space without making it so customized that it’s not attractive to other potential owners. For example, eliminating a bedroom to create a giant walk-in closet may help achieve your dreams, but losing that bedroom can be a major hit to your home’s value.

These renovation ideas - which include both cosmetic touch-ups and more labour-intensive suggestions - can help boost your home’s value.

#48 CL_7ProjectsResale_DPS.indd 1

2019-02-13 11:42 AM

OPEN SPACE. Older homes were often designed with a boxy, formal layout that is less conducive to most modern families’ needs. Today’s open floor plans offer functionality for everything from keeping an eye on the kids while making dinner to entertaining guests. This type of floor plan can also make small rooms feel larger and invite more light into darker parts of the house.

The most cost-effective way to create an open space is to remove non-load-bearing walls (load-bearing walls help support the roof; while they can be removed there’s typically quite a bit more time, labour and expense involved). Removing a wall may not be that complicated unless you encounter plumbing or HVAC ductwork that needs to be relocated. You’ll likely have some electrical outlets to move, and both the floor and ceiling will need attention to remove lingering signs of the former wall.

CLIMATE COMFORT. Not every aspect of home improvement is visible at first glance like a fresh coat of paint; some value-boosting upgrades are more behind the scenes. One example is climate management. If you renovate a space that needs better climate control, or if you add a new room where extending the existing ductwork is impractical, a split-ductless HVAC system may be the perfect solution. The ductless design saves HVAC contractors time during installation, therefore saving homeowners money.

UNDERSTATED

ELEGANCE.

Features like crown moulding and other wood accents are elegant upgrades that can elevate a home’s value with a relatively modest investment. An office or dining room is the perfect place to introduce these design elements to add a bit of formality to the space. You can also find crown moulding in spaces like the living room, with the moulding coordinating with builtin shelving flanking a fireplace.

COLOUR CHANGE. Although paint is one of the easiest ways to personalize your home, it’s also one of the least expensive, simplest ways to improve its value and appearance. A fresh coat of paint, inside or out, can create an appealing illusion of newness no matter the age of your

#48 CL_7ProjectsResale_DPS.indd 2

home. For maximum resale value, stick to neutral tones so future buyers can focus on envisioning the place as their own, without the distraction of your own vibrant choices.

If you don’t like the thought of boring beige, consider adding accent walls for pops of colour that can be easily changed down the road.

ADJUSTABLE LIGHTING. A room’s ambiance can be completely transformed with lighting. For multi-purpose rooms, an option like dimmer switches lets you customize the lighting to fit the use, which can vary throughout the day.

A well-lit living room is essential for a large gathering or a small group gathered for game night. That same space can be equally inviting for an intimate conversation or a casual movie night with the lights turned down low. One of the best parts is minimal experience is needed to swap out standard switches for the more versatile dimmers.

Plus, in today’s technology-driven world, there’s an app for seemingly everything, including lighting. Homeowners can control the ambiance from their phones by installing smart light bulbs and lighting strips.

GRUNGE-FREE

GARAGE. Even though a garage’s functionality is the top concern for most buyers, a dingy, unkempt space can be a real turn-off. One way to instantly brighten and refresh the space is an epoxy coating on the floor. Applying the coating is relatively easy and once dry it helps prevent unsightly stains and damage in the future. Combine that with a thorough sweeping, wiping down walls and other surfaces, and organize the clutter to create a more inviting space you can utilize to the fullest.

BETTER

BATHROOMS. Many homeowners approach a bathroom upgrade with big projects in mind, like swapping out the vanity, replacing the tub or installing tile flooring. However, it’s possible to make a noticeable impact with much smaller changes. Simply updating bathroom fixtures and fittings such as shower heads, faucets, towel racks and lighting can transform the space with minimal effort and far less work and expense than a large-scale renovation.
