SUCCESS STORIES

Here is a home located in Stouffville on Richard Underhill Ave. This is a detached home with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths in approximately 2500 Sq Ft living space.

With interest rates rising during the time of the market, prices of homes were no longer selling as high. We initially listed this home at $1.39 M. The home was very well kept, required no minor fixes and presented well already without any staging.

When listed, the home had a few showings. At a total of 19 days on the market, with lack of showing activity, I advised that it might help bring more activity by lowering the price. We dropped it slightly to 40k less from listing price to $1.35 M.

During this time, I had another client who was looking for detached homes and townhomes. I had taken them to see other townhomes in Stouffville and mentioned my own listing, 52 Richard Underhill Ave. They showed interest and the moment I showed them the home they instantly fell in love with it. After a bit of negotiating and adjustments with the commission to ensure the happiness of both my buyer and seller, the home was purchased and sold firm at $1.33M.

60 Hawkshead Cres is a much older home in an older neighborhood surrounded by schools and parks. The condition of the home was from its original. It is a linked home with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths with a finished basement in a family friendly neighborhood.

During the time this home was listed, the market had slowed down extremely. At the time there were only 11 other listings in the same neighborhood. Many had been sitting or sold under asking price. Due to increase in interest rates, buyers had been eagerly anticipating price drops in all home types. Our home was the only one of its kind which gave us an advantage to appeal to more buyers. Features included double garage, finished basement and an extra living space in the basement. We listed the home for $1.26M and sold for $1.2M.

With the market situation, we had a better outcome and closer to listing price offer than many other homes in the area. Many homes that sold recently in the area sold less than $1.2M. Our efforts definitely paid off and congratulations to our buyers for their now ready to move in home!

Every homeowner will have their own home style which may not always appeal to potential buyers. This is why it is sometimes suggestable to input minor upgrades.
