SPECTACULAR HIGH-END ESTATE $1,499,000 Set on a gorgeous and private 7+ acre property. As you approach the home up the long driveway you will be taken away by the presence of this substantial house and it’s attached four-car garage. The exterior finishing has been done exceedingly well with thick-cut cedar posts and trim along with cedar sofits and impressive stonework. The interior of the home has been done with very high attention to detail and very low attention to the budget! The open floor plan creates a much larger space than the square footage suggests with high 20 foot ceilings and an overhead bridge that gives a dramatic effect to the interior dimensions. The master bedroom is on the main floor and has it’s own patio, a dressing room and an ensuite that will impress the most discerning buyer. There are 4 large bedrooms upstairs as well as a fully equipped media room with a projector and sound system.

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
vermiculite
See the difference!
Vermiculite is a silver-gold to gray-brown shiny mineral that was commonly used as insulation, especially in older homes. Some vermiculite insulation contains asbestos fibres that, when inhaled, can cause severe lung disease. To be safe, if you have vermiculite insulation, do not disturb it. Instead call a professional to determine whether asbestos is present and if so, have it removed. ProPacific Hazmat Services are experts in vermiculite assessment and removal.

~ ~ the pitfalls of overpricing ~ ~ A word about selling vs. listing When it comes to getting the most money for your home with the least headaches in a reasonable amount of time - nothing can stop that process faster than overpricing. It’s the number one reason houses don’t sell.
Joe Buxton
250.739.3300 joebux@telus.net Century 21 Harbour Realty 1-3179 Barons Road Nanaimo, BC, V9T 5W5 1.800.817.7717 Each office independently owned & operated
Timing is everything: Very often a seller asks: “We can always come down later - right?” Historically, when your house goes on the market, the greatest potential for buyer traffic is in the first 35 days. By pricing it high with the intention of dropping the price later, you completely bypass your best buyer candidates. Showing shut out: All agents have an obligation to do what is best for their clients. With inventory high, agents will recommend properties that are in their buyers price range, and that meet current Fair Market Value for the buyer. Benefits the competition: Unfavourably, when a home is overpriced it not only sits on the market, but acts as a selling point for market-priced homes. It’s a cue for buyers to think: ”I can get the same house for less!” Lender trouble: Even if an agent agrees to list your home too high, and even if you were somehow able to find that rare buyer willing to pay more - these are both BIG IF’s? In today’s market, lenders are becoming ever more cautious. They base their loans on accurate appraisals, and appraisers must base their price on comparable properties that have sold. Not intended to solicit listed property.
Time on market: Overpriced properties will simply sit on the market. Extended market time forces the question in a buyers mind of the possible bigger problems looming within the walls of the property. Put yourself in the buyers shoes. What are the first two things a buyer asks when they consider a property? What’s the price and how long has it been on the market? Lower proceeds: When a home starts it’s listing life overpriced, unfortunately it almost always sells for less than market value. With few buyers to choose from, zero leverage because of time on the market, too high an asking price, plus all the carrying costs to maintain the property, most sellers find themselves getting the least from their investment rather than the most. If you’re considering selling, give me a call. I’ll help determine the best possible estimate for you to get the results you want in a reasonable amount of time.
