Going door knocking was how I came to meet my client for Fincham in the lovely neighborhood of Markham Village. This client had plans to sell because they had plans to downsize. 214 Fincham Ave is a detached home with 4 bedrooms, 3 Bathrooms, finished basement and 2500 Sq Ft. My clients were the original owners and had not done much upgrades over the years.
Before listing our property, there were minor fixes to be tackled first to create a more presentable home for showings. We painted the walls, fixed up some wears and tears, got rid of unnecessary clutter and cleaned the home. Creating a more open and clean space helps to show the homes potential and features even without upgrades. We decided we would stage the home as well to create more attraction to the property. Staging is a very significant strategy to helps buyers picture themselves living in the home. It ensures your home shows at its very best with a great impression.
185 Fincham, a similar layout home down the street, also listed during the same time. This property had no furniture but invested money to update their kitchen before listing. 185 Fincham sold at $1,330,000 and 214 Fincham sold at $1,332,000. We had a total of 4 offers, sold within a weeks time and was able to negotiate $2000 more with no additional renovation costs.
