Furniture and accessory rentals are essential for showcasing vacant properties. Buyers need to see the rooms online with furniture in them to determine sizes visually and know what the room's use is. There is nothing worse than an online photo of an empty room. Buyers do not have time for guessing games. They want to see something to wow them and furniture rental does just that. A wide range of furniture and accessory inventory can be rented through a Stager at very reasonable rates. There are Staging companies that have warehouses full of inventory. As well, it can be professionally delivered and can ensure your vacant listings have warmth and sell the lifestyle buyers are looking for.

Thursday, June 10, 2010 This Week's Staging TipsCategories:Staging Reprinted from the REALTORS Association of Edmonton Weekly Review
Some floor plans make me wonder what builders are thinking when they draw them up. Often there are walls that make no sense, fireplaces on strange angles, extra rooms that are really unnecessary and layouts that simply are not conducive to furniture layout. This makes home staging even more important to try to outline to the buyer how a room can be used. Creative techniques can be implemented to layout the items for the best presentation. Staging shows a buyer what it can be like when they move in, especially if the layout is undesirable. Place furniture in every room suited for the best purpose possible to help a buyer know what to do with it when they move in. Often a property won’t sell when there is confusion about what the layout is all about. Staging takes away the confusion and offers sellers a solution to their layout problems. Jill Gargus-Chouinard

Mike Wednesday, June 2, 2010 News Release: REALTORS® face relaxed housing market with stable pricingCategories:Real Estate News From the REALTORS® Association of Edmonton weekly review:
The housing market was relaxed in May with slightly lower sales than last year and prices generally stable. Despite the sales drop, the current sales figures compare favourably with levels set in 2008. “Financial incentives, changes to mortgage qualifying rules and the threat of increasing mortgage rates caused the local market to peak a little earlier this year,” said Larry Westergard, president of the REALTORS® Association. “Many buyers exercised their options in April leaving the customer base a little leaner in May.” Single family residences in the Edmonton area rose in price by less than one percent and sold on average for $390,583 in May. Condominium prices dipped just two percent to an average of $248,526. Duplex and rowhouse prices of $320,204 were down 2.3% from last month. Overall, the average residential price was up a quarter of a percent to $340,192. There were 3,670 residential listings in May with residential sales of 1,682 properties resulting in a sales-to-listing ratio of 46%. The average time to sell a home was 44 days (the same as April) and inventory at month end was 8,780 residential units (as compared to 8,056 in April). At current sales levels the inventory will last for over five months. “Buyers, sellers and REALTORS® can all relax and enter a sales transaction without pressure,” said Westergard. “That does not mean that you can delay making or accepting an attractive offer because 50-60 homes sell each day and you would hate to see your dream home snapped up by someone just a little more eager to live there.” He emphasized the REALTOR® can be a calming influence in a sale but can also be relied upon to provide expert advice and coaching.
