Here are 5 quick tips to sell your Kamloopst home quicker and for more money. Kamloops home buyers want to move in plug in the TV, put the drinks in the fridge, and put their feet up on the couch. Kamloops home buyers do not want to paint, remove wallpaper, redo the house. Buyers want the home "move in ready"
So here are my 5 tips to sell your Kamloops home quicker:
1. De-clutter - get all the knick knacks off the shelves, counter tops, refrigerator. Open up the rooms by getting rid of a few pieces of furniture. Most rooms should only have 3-4 pieces of furniture in them. Organize and straighten up your home. Store all your excess stuff at a storage locker or a friend’s house.
2. Deodorize - nothing kills a home sale quicker than bad smells. Smoke outside; repaint to get rid of the smell. Find the source of the odour and eliminate it. Some smells that offend home buyers. Pet odours, fishy smells, mildew smell, old person smell, curry, cigar or cigarette smoke. You may not smell it but may offend a buyer. Buy a Cinnamon, or chocolate chip cookie candle and burn it before showings. Don't over do it though. Don't go crazy and over spray smelly deodorizes.
3. De-personalize - Take down you personal and family pictures. If you have collections put them away. If you are country themed or ultra modern loosen them up. By appealing a larger number of home buyers you are more likely to sell your home quicker. The buyer may not like country.
4. Neutralize - Get rid of the flowered or vegetable wallpaper. Repaint that purple wall. Tear up that patterned carpeting or shag carpeting. Again you want the home to be move-in ready. So people do not have to do anything. A neutral color will appeal to a greater number of buyers than that dark red wall.
5. Update - Updated homes sell quicker. So if you are in the home and want to update the kitchen or bathroom. Do it. Enjoy it while you live there. This is a general rule: Most updates increase the value of the home. Sure you do not get it all the money back but it helps sell the house. An updated kitchen will sell twice as fast as a 20 year old kitchen.

Ok, so the government came up with a new tax now called HST (harmonized sales tax) and the whole country is apposed. So apposed that they are bringing down the conservatives. I'm not too educated on how this new tax will affect the economy however, one of the proposed exemptions will apply to new construction homes above $450K (correct me if I'm wrong) That means that homes currently under $450,000 will not be taxed. What's wrong with that? I have had many a buyer change their mind on buying a very nice home just on the notion that they would have to pay an additional 5% GST. Only time will tell how HST will impact the economy. I think we will see very soon.

I could not believe the amount of visitors that came through our show suite located in the North Hills Mall. It should be expected though since Library Square is the only development of it's kind in North Kamloops. With the 9 ft ceilings and almost 100 square feet of balcony, it is hard to believe that you are in an apartment building. The spacious in suite laundry room has room for an iron board and a deep freeze not to mention the extra storage locker included with every unit. Call me today for a personalized showing of Library Square. Together we will go over the floor plans and make sure you get the best unit for your needs. click on the following link LibrarySquare

With interest rates approaching all time low's and the median reduced by 30%...There is one factor when it comes time to buying a house, that is "land" the real estate that holds it's value. When a property is assessed at $150,000 and you can purchase a home on it for $229,000 ... that's getting a home for $79,000 dollars. You cannot build a home for under $200,000 today. Many buyers wait for the headlines that say "NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY"? who would'nt?unfortunatly... by then it's too late and chance of building equity has reached a point of no return. Call me Today and let me show you the best priced houses on the market!
