Some buyers like carpeting, others not so much. These days, the trend is towards hardwood, laminate, and tile. So, how do you make your home look attractive for buyers if you have old carpeting that - for whatever reason - you can't remove?  The obvious option is to have your carpets steam-cleaned. As comfortable as carpeting is on the feet, it's a sponge for odours, pet hair, and stains. Steam-cleaning goes a long way to reducing or even eliminating those issues. If your home vacuum can't do the job, rent a steam-cleaner from a home improvement retailer or hire a professional service.  Another option is effective home staging. That involves decorating and furnishing in a way that draws attention away from the floor and onto the more attractive characteristics of your home.

  GTA REALTORS ®  Release July 2023 Stats Greater Toronto Area (GTA) home sales, new listings and home prices were up in July 2023 in comparison to July 2022. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the market experienced more balance in July compared to June, with sales trending lower while new listings were up. “Home sales continued to be above last year’s levels in July, which suggests that many households have adjusted to higher borrowing costs. With that being said, it does appear that the sales momentum that we experienced earlier in the spring has stalled somewhat since the Bank of Canada restarted its rate tightening cycle in June. Compounding the impact of higher rates has been the persistent lack of listings for people to purchase compared to previous years,” said Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) President Paul Baron. GTA REALTORS ®  reported 5,250 sales through TRREB’s MLS ®  System in July 2023, representing a 7.8 per cent increase compared to Jul...
