Real Estate Tips: Selling Your Vancouver Condo

In recent months, Vancouver condo sales have been going north, especially for luxury condos. If you’re looking to cash in on your investment, now would be a good time to do so.

Of course, selling a condo in a hot market can be challenging due to the presence of competition. As such, you need to find ways to make your condo stand out. Here are some ideas to consider:

De-personalise the area

Your condo should allow prospective buyers to envision what it would be like living there. The place should be as general or impersonal as possible to appeal to various types of buyers—pictures of your family and other personal items won’t achieve that. ‘Tacky decorations’ and the like should be stored elsewhere when prospective buyers ask to see your condo.

Seek the help of professionals

Working with a REALTOR^® is advised. With a vast network of connections, realtors can make your condo easier to find by prospective buyers than if you tried to sell your condo yourself. An experienced REALTOR^® can also effectively manage your showcases, which is especially helpful when more than a handful of buyers are interested in your condo.

You should see if your REALTOR^® can help you find someone to professionally stage your condo. According to research, properties that have been staged professionally sell 2-3 times faster than non-staged properties. In addition, staged properties sell for up to 6 percent more than their non-staged counterparts.
