First Impressions That Sell
Are you considering the sale of your West Vancouver home in the next two years? If so, let Curb Appeal assist you with the preparation of your property for eventual listing so it has the best opportunity to return you the highest sale price possible.
Property improvements in West Vancouver are not the same as virtually any other municipality in the country. Not only are the property values higher, and therefore the standard of building also much higher, but the properties themselves are highly unique to the area of West Vancouver in which they are located.
West Vancouver shares physical characteristics of North Vancouver up until you reach the Westmount and Altamont neighbourhoods or the Cypress Village exit. West of there, the geology changes, turning into much rockier terrain compared to the softer soil, stone and clay found to the east. In many places this is solid granite. This has an overwhelming affect on the types of homes found and their design, especially in the areas around Caulfeild, Cypress Park, Eagle Harbour, Gleneagles and north to Lions Bay.
That’s not to say building a three story home in Caulfeild is impossible. It’s just that it may require dynamite, something you wouldn’t need to do in Dundarave or Cedardale. The terrain dictates what types of projects might be cost effective, what kind of landscaping will survive or thrive and which materials should be used.
If you are planning on selling your home and wanting to boost the potential sales value by investing into property alterations, it’s important to know what your options are. This takes specialized knowledge of experts that have lived and worked in the area for decades.
West Vancouver Home Improvement Experts
Moreover, the profile of potential purchasers is different in various parts of the city. A buyer in Ambleside may well be seeking out that area specifically for the proximity to local schools and intends on using most of the property for their large family. However, a buyer in the Whitby Estates or Chelsea Park area might be someone who specifically wants a large property for the purpose of entertaining guests. The recommendations for property improvements prior to listing could therefore be vastly different.
Curb Appeal Property Experts are routinely called to inquire about minor kitchen & bathroom remodeling projects in Dundarave and Ambleside. We are also contacted frequently about upgrading outdoor living spaces in the British Properties and Chartwell neighbourhoods. We are asked to do landscaping and exterior makeovers in Caulfeild and Glenmore. And everywhere from Lions Bay to Park Royal our services are happily offered to help with repainting, reflooring and all interior and exterior property improvements.
When trying to improve the selling value of your home, Curb Appeal will consider your home’s unique characteristics including its exact location, design, age and existing condition. We will also identify prospective purchaser profiles to ensure the improvements undertaken appeal to them specifically. From there we will build a targeted plan of action.
Whether your home is a West Coast Style in Sandy Cove, a Split-Level in Dundarave, a modern contemporary build in Altamont or a mid-century design in Ambleside, Curb Appeal Property Experts can give you the best advice on how to elevate your property value for eventual sale.
