Tips for Selling Your UBC Home

If you have been thinking about selling your home, there may be no better time than now to get full market value.  The Vancouver real estate market is definitely a sellers’ market as there is limited inventory and limited inventory means bidding wars.  This is the market that you want when it comes to realizing full market value or even above full market value for your home.  Certain homes such as those around UBC are some of the most coveted in all of the Lower Mainland so there is no better time to sell than now!


Getting Full Market Value

Even though you have put your UBC home on the market and it is a seller’s market does not necessarily mean that your home will be a quick sale or that you will get full market value for your home. But there are some extra tips and tricks that will help to accomplish these goals.

In addition to properly staging your home, it is highly recommended that you repaint the interior of your home.  For every dollar that you invest in a new coat of paint, you will get in return when you sell your home.  Any potential buyer wants to see a freshly painted interior rather than walls that are marked, scuffed and will need to be repainted after they have moved in.  A fresh coat of paint will not only highlight your already well-staged home, but it may also be the make or break point when it comes to selling your home at full market value!


Colour Matters!

When repainting the interior of your home, make sure to pay special attention to the colours you use. Bold bright or dark colours may have been great choices for your home and added atmosphere to individual rooms when you were living there, but these colour choices are not ideal when it comes to highlighting your home for resale.  Instead, think about using more neutral colours such as greys, taupes or beiges.  These neutral colours will make for a far quicker sale and are more appealing to any prospective buyer.

 

Ask For Recomendations

Remember, not only is it important to repaint your UBC home before selling it, it is also important to use the proper colours.  Do not be afraid to ask your local paint shop for recommendations or if you choose to hire a professional painter to do the job, allow them to help in the decision making around colour choice.  Please do not hesitate to contact me, as I have lots of experience when it comes to selling UBC homes and know exactly what potential buyers are looking for!
