LOL Gosh if I ever list my place for sale, I am 100% gonna totally clear everything out and put them in storage first because it would still look worse than this after I clear out all the clutter. In particular, that moving boxes picture is a much cleaner version than what one of my rooms look like LOL~
Ha, when we listed our place our agent required us to declutter the house before photos and it was an ORDEAL. We stored all the junk in the garage and my parents and the house had to be basically frozen in time for 2 weeks while viewings and subject removal happened - we ate take out the whole time cause we couldn't really cook. I think my wife and I spent a total of 50-60 hours cleaning it up but it did turn out really well - the house had never looked so tidy and clean but, god, it was work. I hope I die in my current house cause I'm not doing that again.
that's the buddy guy 'luxury home' builder starter pack.
1. Glass panel and metal railings
2. 3"> high baseboard molding
3. Cheesy LED lights from the asian lighting stores on Bridgeport
4. Black door hardware
Im guessing the rest will include:
5. Large single direction 'marble' flooring throughout the living room and kitchen
6. big ass CCTV screen on top of the fridge
7. generic shaker cabinets
8. Door with huge window panels that don't match the house.
9. Mix of Hardie board siding and stone pillars.

Did you use Aislynn as your realtor? She was ours when we purchased our place in Coquitlam! She's great!
But yeah, thats always the case having to declutter and clean and being frozen in time for all the open houses and viewings, its a pain in the ass but unavoidable if you want to get a good offer.

Yep! She helped us buy our current place and sell our previous 2 - known her for 20+ years. She does a great job - really listens well and provide her honest input on what we're thinking.

We did the same for our place, we started tidying and cleaning up in Dec and listed in May. We started doing 2 hours or so a weekend, to right before we listed we went into hyperdrive. My mom asked us do open house for another weekend so we can get a better price. With a not quite 2 year old it was just too hard to keep it in show room condition.
That leaky condo of all leaky condos is closer to Nanaimo If that’s the one you guys are thinking of. It’s still under poly
There’s actually a settlement coming to fix it with the govt. footing a huge bill I believe
i thought the city wrote in some beautiful bylaw in place excusing themselves of any liability where those of a certain time they would pay for, everything else didn't fall in the requirements and places like garden villa are SOL
Yea sorry it may not be the govt. fitting the bill. I knew all the details before but forget now. May be insurance company opting to cover them and their repairs based on the special assessments for each unit going forward

Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem said uncertainty in financial markets won’t derail his plans to hike interest rates, arguing high inflation remains the “immediate” threat to the global economy.
Macklem, speaking to reporters Friday after the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group in Washington, said his talks there reinforced a commitment for central banks to “keep a steady hand and keep focused on price stability.”
“There was a broad consensus that inflation remains the most immediate threat to current and future prosperity,” Macklem said, adding that “there was concern that the longer inflation remained high, the bigger was the risk that high inflation becomes entrenched.”
The comments reinforce the Bank of Canada’s discomfort with elevated price pressures and its commitment to keep raising borrowing costs alongside its global peers, even amid financial volatility caused in part by the meltdown in U.K. markets.
“There has been a marked tightening in global financial conditions,” Macklem said. “By and large that has been reasonably orderly. That tightening is intended, it is needed to control inflation.”
Characterizing the mood at the meetings as one of both “concern” and “resolve,” Macklem noted elevated uncertainty stemming from unresolved supply chain issues, energy price volatility and recent liquidity problems. “There’s also concern about possible unintended consequences of the needed tightening in financial conditions,” Macklem said, citing turmoil in metals, energy and U.K. pension markets.
Still, he agreed with the IMF’s recent assessment of the risks to monetary policy. Earlier in the week, the fund said the consequences of spiraling inflation caused by under-tightening are a bigger worry than over-tightening borrowing costs.
The Bank of Canada is poised to push ahead with at least another 50 basis point interest-rate hike on Oct. 26. The benchmark rate currently stands at 3.25 per cent, three percentage points higher than the emergency pandemic low that held until March.
“In the current context, inflation is not just high. It’s a long way above 2 per cent target. Against that background, we’re more worried about upside risks to inflation than downside risks.”
Oh hey...nice wide lot, double garage, oh it's newly renovated, seems decent...if this has a nice laundry room my wife would love it....ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....
