Earlier this year, HomeGain.com released the results of its nationwide home improvement and home staging Home Sale Maximizer™ survey. Past findings from the survey have been a guide for thousands of home sellers in preparing their homes for sale.

HomeGain surveyed nearly 600 real estate agents nationwide to determine the top 10 low cost*, do-it-yourself home improvements for people getting their home ready to sell.

Home staging was #3 on the list and provided an ROI of 299%, according to the survey.

TREB reported 7,642 home sales through the TorontoMLS® in October 2011. This represented an increase of 17.5 per cent compared to the 6,504 transactions reported in October 2010.

Monthly sales data follow a recurring seasonal trend that should be removed before comparing monthly results within the same year. After adjusting for seasonality, the annualized rate of sales for October was 97,100, which was above the average of 90,700 for the first three quarters of 2011.

“The pace of October resale home transactions remained brisk in the GTA. This bodes well for a strong finish to 2011,” said Toronto Real Estate Board President Richard Silver. “Home buyers who found it difficult to make a deal in the spring and summer due to a shortage of listings have benefitted from increased supply in the fall.”

The average selling price through the TorontoMLS® in October was $478,137 – up eight per cent compared to October 2010.

“Sellers’ market conditions remain in place in many parts of the GTA. The result has been above-average annual rates of price growth for most home types,” said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis. “Thanks to low interest rates, strong price growth has not substantially changed the positive affordability picture in the City of Toronto and surrounding regions.”

Written by Mario Toneguzzi and published in the Calgary Herald on October 26th.

There are so many things Canadians sell on their own.

Add their houses to the list as well.

New research commissioned by Kijiji Canada indicates that 61 per cent of Canadians would consider selling their home on their own if it was easy and more affordable than using a real estate agent and, in fact, 22 per cent of those who have sold a home in the past have sold a home on their own at least once.

It’s an interesting trend in the real estate market. But the survey also indicates many homeowners are not prepared to do what it takes when going it alone.

Here’s some data from the research:

Nearly three-quarters (72 per cent) of those who believe decluttering is important didn’t actually purge their home of many items before selling.

A large majority (86 per cent) of those who believe conducting renovations is important before selling a home didn’t do any when selling their home.

A large majority (86 per cent) believe staging is important, but 61 per cent of those who think it’s important didn’t do it.

The survey also found that the majority (62 per cent) of Canadians are doing minimal maintenance to prepare their home.

So while more people are thinking of selling their own home they should be aware of what they need to do to be successful.
