The sellers, who had been living in the unit since they purchased it three years ago, received two offers after the unit had been viewed by around 20 people.

“The home was completely renovated in 2021 just prior to my clients purchasing the unit – flooring, paint, appliances, custom kitchen redesign,” said listing agent Cheryl Davie.

The unit had been previously listed in the summer with another agent.

“One of the easiest and most cost-effective improvements is recaulking surfaces and applying fresh paint,” said Ms. Davie. “These simple touch-ups can instantly refresh a home, giving it a clean and well-maintained look while offering a great return on investment.

“For sellers looking to take updates a step further, flooring and lighting upgrades can dramatically transform the feel of a home,” said Ms. Davie. “For those willing to invest more, updating countertops and appliances can elevate the overall appeal and help position the property more competitively in the market.”

Staged properties also often sell faster at a higher price, she added.
