Jason Walker Real Estate in Toronto

While we all might have visions of our dream kitchen in our head, or multiple images pinned to a Pinterest board—doing a full-scale renovation might not be in the budget at the moment. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing you can do. Here are a few easy ways to update your kitchen without a full scale renovation.  1. Open shelving - If you’ve got a massive blank wall to fill, you might want to consider adding some shelves. They’re a great way to show off your beautiful glassware, a collection of platters, or gorgeous cookbooks—and they'll give the room even more storage space. Add sculptural or minimal brackets for that extra touch of elegance. 2. Paint the cabinets - It's incredibly affordable to paint your cabinets! It’s the cost of a can or two of paint (plus primer!) and some elbow grease if you’re doing it yourself. Whether you opt for a dramatic black or a soft dove gray, a couple coats of paint will completely transform the look of the entire space. 3. Sw...

Usually, a home inspection is done after an offer is made to buy a home. The offer will typically include a condition that the property must pass such an inspection. The buyer then hires the inspector, who goes through the home, top to bottom, inside and out, looking for issues.  However, you can also get an inspection done as the seller . In this case, you are paying for an inspector to produce a report on your home - before you sell. In fact, this is often called a pre-sale home inspection .  Why would you do this?  A pre-sale home inspection can make your property more attractive to buyers. This is especially helpful if you're selling in a buyer's market, where there are more homes like your for sale than there are buyers. The report serves as an enticing feature of your listing because it reassures buyers that there are no unknown issues.  Getting a pre-home inspection is something worth considering. For a buyer deciding between your listing and another home for ...

Thinking about listing your home soon? If so, you'll want to make your property as attractive to buyers as possible. That doesn't necessarily mean having to do extensive improvements. In fact, there are plenty of small fixes you can make that will have a big impact on your home's appeal.  Here are just a few ideas:  Fix what's not working. When something is not working correctly - a faucet, cabinet drawer, motion light, etc. - that's a big turnoff to buyers. Check your home for anything that needs repair.  Eliminate the unsightly. Don't think a buyer will notice that little dent in the living room wall? They will. And, even though it's minor, they'll remember it. Do what you can to fix or eliminate anything that's unsightly.  Update hardware. One of the easiest (and most affordable) improvements you can make is to change out old cabinet and door hardware. Especially in the kitchen, new hardware can make the entire space look updated.  Optimize lighti...

Residential transactions reported through TRREB’s MLS® System remained high in May 2021, but fell short of the 2016 record and were below this year’s March peak. Despite a slight ebb in sales over the last two months, market conditions remained tight enough to push the average selling price to an all-time record in May. Greater Toronto Area REALTORS® reported 11,951 sales in May 2021 – more than double the result from May 2020, the second full month of the pandemic. May 2021 sales were below the May 2016 record of 12,789 but remained well above the average May sales of 10,336 for the 2010 through 2019 period.

In fact, the process can be smooth and relatively easy, even fun, if you do the right things.  Consider these tips:  1. Create a profile of you next dream home.
