1717 Haultain Street

1717 Haultain Street - $695,000
This was such a fun sale! Teamed up with one of our great GPG agents Braden Martin-Feek. At first our clients were looking for a condo for their family of five. This was very challenging so we recommended they slightly increase their budget and buy a home with a suite. This property had suite and the ability to build a carriage home which is now being built. They are getting better than expected cash flow from the suite and will be a cash flow monster when the carriage home is complete. Oh, and I should mention we negotiated $40,000 off the list price! We had multiple challenges on this deal but had fantastic clients, job well done!

Fixer Uppers: Myths and Facts

Fixer Uppers: Myths and Facts - What You Must Know Before You Buy
"A home will only sell for what the market can bear. What this means is that no matter how many upgrades were made, or how much money has been invested in the upgrades, a home will only sell for what the majority of homebuyers are willing to pay."
 
Before deciding that your next home must be a fixer-upper, you should do some homework into what to expect when purchasing these types of homes.
