Getting Your Toronto Home Ready To Sell

Are you planning on selling your Toronto home this year? While you’re ready to move on to bigger and better things, it’s likely that your home has served you pretty well over the years.

It can almost feel like you’re doing it a disservice trying to dress it up for someone else when it’s been good enough for you this whole time. But not everyone has the same tastes, which means your home has to become more suitable for more people in order to have a better chance of selling.

1. Pull out all the stops. The smallest touch can really bring out the best in any room. If you have accessories like vases, pillows or throws that are sitting in a closet somewhere, see if you can pull together some like-minded colors and create a dynamic, interesting space.

2. Do the shuffle. Your own furniture may have been in the same layout since you moved in, but rearranging your furniture can completely change the flow of a room while removing just one piece can drastically increase the spaciousness of a room. Renting a storage locker can make this much easier by allowing you to remove furniture and save it for later.

3. Declutter. Clutter is one of a home seller’s worst enemies. Before you sell your home, decluttering is the first place you should begin any preliminary home staging efforts. If you tackle one room at a time, it won’t take long – just so long as everything is in its place. Stores like Ikea and Michael’s have great-looking decorative boxes and storage options that can help, and this is also another area that renting a small storage locker can help with.

4. Freshen up with fresh color. If you don’t have a lot of room in your home staging budget, putting a few coats of fresh pain in new and interesting colors can really clean up a room. Whether it’s a new coat of the same color that covers up scuffs and marks or a completely new color, pain can work wonders. It’s best to stick to neutral colors just so you can please everyone who might be perusing your listing.
