Don’t wait for spring to list your Nanaimo house.


Many people like to wait until the busy spring market to sell their homes.  However, this year in Nanaimo we are experiencing a seller’s market.  A seller’s market is when there are more buyers than sellers in the market place.  Right now we are experiencing very low inventory levels which means that if you list your home and price it at market value, you stand a very good chance of selling it quickly.

 

Buying a three bedroom home vs. a two bedroom home


There is no question that here in Nanaimo a 3 bedroom home has much better resale value than a 2 bedroom home.  There is a much bigger market for 3 bedroom homes because the third bedroom opens up all sorts of usage options from a place to sleep to a media room or just a place to store things.  Two bedroom homes exclude people with families as there just isn’t enough room.

Great time to buy an investment property in Nanaimo or Parksville


According to the rental market survey released by CMHC the average vacancy rate in Canada's major centers was 2.9%.  In Nanaimo it is 2% and in Parksville 1%.  The vacancy rates in both towns are well below the average.  The low vacancy rate is a good sign for investors wishing to become land lords.

Tips for selling a vacant home


The advantage to selling a vacant home is that you can offer quick possession to a buyer. Even though the home is vacant it is easier to sell if you continue to maintain the property by keeping utilities on, maintaining your landscaping and consider staging the home. Remember: First impressions are lasting impressions.

How to know when it is time to reduce your selling price


It is only natural to want to make as much money as possible on your house but, if you have had a steady flow of buyers viewing the house and have received no offers, it is often an indication the price is too high.

Painting to sell your house
