Paul Albrighton talks to HGTV's Colin & Justin about loft prices in Vancouver

While touring the Home Show at BC Place this weekend, I had a chance to talk with Colin and Justin from HGTV: "Colin and Justin's Home Heist".  I announced how large of fan I was, and then Colin and Justin asked me about price per square foot of lofts in Vancouver.  These entertaining gentlelmen have a great sense of humour and had me laughing in manner of seconds.

And of course an autograph that reads "Sell a lot of lofts"

Should you renovate your condo before selling in today's market?

Many client ask me, weither they should renovate their condo before putting it on the market. Listen to Pauls opinion below. Basically buyers today want a deal and not have to pay extra for a renovated suite, you are better off taking the amount you wish to spend on nice renovations and discount it off the price of your property! There currently are a lot of nicely renovated suites on the market sitting and waiting... Contact Paul Albrighton at paul@albrighton.ca or 604 315 5574 for information about selling your condo or loft in Vancouver's marketplace.

Why you should buy a bigger condo now!

Why should you sell your place and buy a bigger one now? Paul Albrighton tells you his opinion on video below. Sell your current condo for a slight discount, buy something bigger and save the same percentage on a bigger purchase price! Ex: You currently own a condo worth $400,000 and you want to move up for some water views and more square footage. Sell your $400,000 condo at a 5% loss for $380,000 and buy something worth $800,000 for also 5% less and save $40,000 off the purchase price. Where do we get 5% from, this is the average in downturned prices in Downtown Vancouver since Feb. 2008. Contact me at 604 315 5574 to find out what the marketable price of your property is in today's market.
