We love ugly houses and so should you!
Before: Ugly house with potential
How can I start a market insight with a title like this? Let me guess – you haven’t been dreaming about owning an ugly house?! I didn’t think so, but hopefully, I’ve piqued your interest. The current market in most of southern Ontario, as well as in many other areas across
Canada, is HOT! How can it be so cold outside, and yet the market be so hot in the middle of winter? This is usually the slower time of year, but the coronavirus has shaken the world. We have been locked down, or semi-locked down, for almost a year now. In this time, people have been forced to work from home, forced to look at their homes and consider what they want/need in a home. The simple fact is people are moving!
After: Removed the broken closet door and added a fresh coat of paint. Transformed this room at minimal cost!
What does this have to do with ugly houses? I’m glad you asked. Most people shopping for a new home want something to move-in ready, shiny, and beautiful. This means that those pretty houses sell fast, and right now, in many markets, they are selling for over asking – sometimes before you can get a chance to look at them. There are cities where multiple offers on one house are the norm.
So what about those ugly houses? They are often on the market longer, and sell for less money. They could be in a great neighbourhood, with beautiful houses all around them, but their décor is outdated. They may have a good solid structure and great layout, a fantastic yard, all the bedrooms, and bathrooms you need for your family, but the wallpaper needs to go. Most people cannot see past the ugly paint colour, the wallpaper border, or lacy curtains in the kitchen, but we can!
Our team sees potential in ugly homes that, with a little bit of love, can drastically change the look and value of a home. That’s part of the magic of what we do. We help find you a great home, and help you see something that you may not have otherwise seen. If you want to skip looking at a house because it is ugly, chances are other people are thinking the same way. This presents an opportunity for you to get a home at a lesser price than the market average, and with a little vision from our team, and maybe a bit of sweat equity you could have your perfect home!
Ugly houses can be magically turned into beautiful homes, worth much more than most will pay for them. Let us show you how!
