Professional designer Meridith Baer has some advice on staging your home for sale:

“You want [your home] to be as austere as possible. The main thing is, you don’t want to distract the buyer. You want them to come in and fall in love — just kind of wander through the house and say, ‘Yeah, yeah, I can do this.’

“The first mistake a lot of people make when they get ready to sell is, they decide to redo the kitchen or do some elaborate remodel. When I bought my home, the people I bought it from had just redone the kitchen, and the first thing I did was rip it out. I hear that story all the time. My recommendation is to not spend that money if you’re sure you’re going to sell.”

SURREY, BC – The Fraser Valley market showed early signs of a spring thaw in February, with sales increasing over January, but continuing to trail typical levels for this time of year. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board recorded 843 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in February, a 36 per cent increase from January, but 38 per cent below the ten-year seasonal average. New listings declined nine per cent in February to 2,796, suggesting some sellers are choosing to wait amid competitive inventory levels, and may be positioning their homes for the peak of the spring market.
