It seems everywhere we click, we see countless articles highlighting Kelowna’s hot real estate market. With the strong housing market and warm spring weather, what better time than right now to sell your property as fast as possible?
1. Freshen Up the Paint
If your walls are looking a little out-dated, it’s time to freshen up the paint. Just to give you a friendly heads up, house-buyers pay attention to things like paint colour. When choosing chips, consider opting for a neutral shade which acts as a blank canvas for property hunters. Looking for a quick sale? This small investment should help.
2. Go Outside
When setting up the sale of your home, never overlook the landscaping. Grab your work boots and get your hands a little dirty!
For most people in the Okanagan, the first true sign of Spring is not the first robin they see but the street sweepers! Now we can wash our cars and they might stay clean for a few days. We hope! Seeing a bit more sunshine doesn’t hurt as well.
The market continues to be active however it is shifting in interesting ways.
Check out the numbers below and note that sales are a virtual dead heat from last year; prices are up, and days to sell are down.
For prices under $560,000, sales are down noticeably but sales over this $560,000 mark are up 43% and over the $1M price, up 22% from March of 2016 to make up for the drop elsewhere.
