In my last blog post, 10 Reasons To Recommend a Professional RE Stylist For ALL Your Listings, Marla of Design by Marla  told us about a homeowner who staged their home after it sat on the market for about 6 months. Despite how great the property showed after the staging the LA didn't bother updating the photos on the mls. Now, 4 months POST staging...the property still sits. I had responded to Marla but as I was doing so I thought it would make a decent post on my blog: Marla, let me guess: it was the homeowner who brought in the home stager. Sounds like they needed to fire the LA and find one who really was interested in getting the property sold rather than just getting the listing. One of the reasons I take my own photos is to make sure the property gets seen and more importantly *n... 01/20/2008

I read a piece in the paper yesterday about luxury homes.  They are selling quite well here in Toronto.  The builder/developer who was being interviewed mentioned something that I've heard before but only now did it register.How best to measure the desirability of a property?  This fellow described a home in terms of how many "wow" factors it had.  The house in question had "a movie theatre"!  Wow.  A "library panelled in walnut"!  Wow.  A "lavish backyard with fountains and reflecting pools"!  Wow.  There's three "wows" right there.It made me think of a humble bungalow I had listed last year.  It wasn't particularly better than any other bungalow but it had two "wow" factors.  There was a drop-down staircase leading to a very large unfinished attic.  That feature received many "wows" d... 01/11/2008

As expected, 2007 was a record year for the Toronto Real Estate Board. Above average condo resales activity and increased activity in Toronto (both likely attributeable to the Toronto Land Transfer Tax being introduced this year) were noticeably up in December. Congrats to our members! See also: Condo sales bring 2007 to a strong finish! (TREB) As for the new year, 2008 brings more incentives for buyers. We have a 1% reduction in the GST on new homes. Meanwhile, the land transfer tax rebate has been extended to first time homebuyers of resale homes. Also, some analysts are calling for 2008 to be the year of falling interest rates -- so there are eyes on January 22 when the Bank of Canada makes its next announcement on the key interest rate (the last before Governor Dodge hands over the ... 01/07/2008

Before listing your home for sale, knowing what it is worth in today's market and more importantly knowing what you will net from the sale is critically important.  Once you know the above you'll be ready to decide on your next move and how high you can go with the next property.Hiring the right agent is probably one of the most important decisions you will make.  Your agent's services, marketing programs and service guarantees are some of the important aspects you need to know before making the hiring decision.  While many homesellers are concerned about the comission they'll have to pay, many do not realize the direct correlation between commision and net.  The lower the commsion does NOT mean more money in your pocket. On the contrary, a discount agent can not afford to promote the p... 12/30/2007
