How much of a premium would you pay to live directly across from a park?
Is it something that you actively seek, or is a “nice to have?”
After seeing a condo at Chocolate Lofts sell for a premium because it had a slight glimpse of the park, I’m re-evaluating the importance of the park-principal…
And we are merely……stagers?
I’m encouraging my sellers to spend more money on staging these days, and I think the results are apparent.

Don’t throw your junk in my backyard….

For any first time buyer, the idea of renting out the basement for $800 per month to help pay the mortgage sounds like a fantastic idea!
But when you rent to that long-haul truck driver who won’t pay his rent and won’t leave, then you’re in trouble.
The one thing that buyers never consider: the legal ramifications of the basement apartment…
