Well-presented homes priced correctly often sell faster than homes that need work or are priced too high for the market. For more, visit our 'Monthly Market Blog' page.

No, but it can be helpful. If you are thinking about selling in the next year or two, early preparations can help you decide what to fix, what to leave alone, and how to position your home for the strongest result.

Central Lonsdale offers a rare mix of walkability, local shops, services, great elementary schools, modern recreation and easy access to everything North Van has to offer. This lifestyle blends everyday convenience with a sense of community, while still keeping close to nature and downtown Vancouver. Commuters can access the upper levels quickly, hop on the Seabus to downtown or TransLink buses. That lifestyle appeal is a big part of what buyers are paying for, not just the house itself.

That depends on your financial goals, your plans for the property, and how much work or investment your home would need before a future sale. If you are unsure, it helps to compare today’s likely sale value with the cost and risk of holding.

Plan for real estate fees, potential staging costs, preparation work, repairs, mortgage discharge fees, if applicable, and any outgoings tied to the property. Some properties may require more work than others, while other homes just don't make sense to put in the time and money.

Real estate commission is paid from the Seller's proceeds and is shared between the Listing Realtor® and the Buyer's Realtor®.

For more information on this, check out 'CNV & Bill 25' at the bottom of our homepage. You will see which areas are within frequent transit areas allowing larger density.
