Are looks important?
So the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver has done a survey to learn about trends in Real Estate. I would like to point out a few highlights over the next couple of weeks.
The greatest surprise to me was that, with the exclusion of price, the most important factor in the purchase of peoples’ homes was STYLE!! (?)…. Fully 40% of actual buyers (not to be confused with "looky-loo’s") considered this to be more important than size or location. This means that a good realtor can strongly impact the return you receive when you sell your home…
Clients of Peter Jensen Homes receive their home staging (costs range upwards of $500 to thousands of dollars) at no cost (FREE is a good word). The survey bears out the fact that our sellers consistently receive substantially more for their properties. Looks ARE important in houses!
