BLOOMFIELD DRIVE, OAKVILLE $2,449,900

OPEN HOUSE

For many years, holding an open house was the traditional practice when putting your house on the market. But home sellers are starting to ask, "Is it really necessary?" The marketing strategy for new home listings changed dramatically during the pandemic, with much of the information about a home obtained online. Virtual and 360-degree tours became available so buyers could see the homes when open houses were not allowed. Now, with the pandemic largely behind us, buyers are asking to view homes again. Here's what you should consider when deciding whether to have an open house.

Benefits of an open house

Any home seller can tell you how challenging it is to keep a home picture-perfect while listed on the market. Holding an open house can condense many showings into a limited time frame and generate real buzz early on. Imagine the interest generated when you see a packed store selling a new item. Suddenly, everyone wants to go into the store to see what's so exciting. The same applies to your

home. The bustle of a packed open house can motivate buyers to take a look and submit an offer when they might normally be on the fence.

While a great deal of marketing can be done digitally, there's something special about walking into a potential new home and getting that feeling, "This is the one." Digital tours and photos can help buyers research and narrow down a list of interesting homes. However, nothing beats the up-close and personal feel of being in the space you may want to call home.

Drawbacks to consider

One of the main concerns sellers have about open houses is the risk of breakins and theft. An open house allows people to explore your home with less supervision, which raises the risk of someone making notes on your items and returning another time when you are away. An open house can also attract nosy neighbours who are not interested in buying but want to see how you decorate or what renovations you have done.

Buyers may also turn to the internet to research and only book private showings for the houses they are interested in. Digital marketing has made it less necessary to attend open houses, so drumming up enough interest will depend on how well your realtor promotes it.

Make the most out of your open house

Prepare your home as if it's going to be photographed for a magazine. Every room should be spotless and sparkling with neatly made beds, fresh flowers, and zero clutter. Sellers should remove excess furniture and personal items. Ideally, buyers need to envision themselves in your home, which is more easily attained without family photos, children's drawings or a dog bowl in the corner.

To reduce the risk posed by unsavoury characters scoping out your home, remove any valuables and store them in a secure location. If you have multiple floors in your home, ask to have a real estate agent on each floor to monitor visitors.

Some people also choose to lay out appetizers for a more welcoming approach and to create a party-like atmosphere.

Open houses are typically planned for the first weekend after the home has been listed, often between 2 and 4 p.m. Keep times to off-peak hours when most families are likely to be available. Try to limit access to 90 minutes to create a bigger crowd, which generates more interest.

Before deciding whether hosting an open house is for you, consult your realtor and get their advice on what will work best for your home and neighbourhood.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO A NEW HOME

Moving to a new home can be an exciting but overwhelming experience. The process of packing, organizing, and relocating belongings can be stressful if not properly planned. However, with the right tips and tricks, you can simplify the moving process and ensure a smooth transition to your new home. By following these guidelines, you can save time, reduce stress, and start settling into your new home with ease.

CREATE A MOVING TIMELINE

Start by creating a moving timeline that outlines all the tasks you need to accomplish before, during, and after the move. Set specific dates for each task, such as packing, notifying utilities, and hiring movers. Breaking the process into manageable steps will help you stay organized and on track.

DECLUTTER AND DOWNSIZE

Before packing, take the opportunity to declutter and downsize your belongings. Sort through each room, separating items into categories like keep, donate, sell, or discard. This not only reduces the number of items you'll have to move but also helps create a fresh start in your new home.

GATHER PACKING SUPPLIES

Collect all the necessary packing supplies, including sturdy boxes in various sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, and markers. Having these supplies on hand will make the packing process more e cient.

PACK ROOM BY ROOM

To stay organized, pack one room at a time. Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This will make unpacking easier and help movers know where to place each box in your new home.

CREATE AN ESSENTIALS BOX

Pack a separate essentials box with items you'll need immediately upon arriving at your new home. Include toiletries, medications, a change of clothes, bedding, and basic kitchen supplies. This way, you won't have to search through multiple boxes to find essential items on your first night.

NOTIFY IMPORTANT PARTIES

Ensure a seamless transition by notifying important parties of your address change. This includes updating your address with the post o ce, banks, credit card companies, insurance providers, and any subscriptions or memberships you have.

HIRE PROFESSIONAL MOVERS OR ENLIST HELP

Consider hiring professional movers to handle the heavy lifting and transportation of your belongings. Obtain quotes from multiple companies and read reviews to find reputable and reliable movers. If you prefer a DIY approach, enlist the help of family and friends well in advance.

TAKE PHOTOS OF UTILITY METERS

Before leaving your old home, take photos of utility meters, including gas, water, and electricity. This will serve as documentation and ensure you're not charged for services after you've moved out.

PACK AN OVERNIGHT BAG

Pack an overnight bag for each family member with essential items such as clothing, toiletries, and personal items. This will provide immediate access to necessities until you can fully unpack.

UPDATE YOUR NEW HOME'S SECURITY

Once you arrive at your new home, prioritize updating the security. Change the locks on all exterior doors and consider installing a security system for added peace of mind. Moving to a new home can be a smooth and stress-free experience with proper planning and organization. By following these tips and tricks, you can simplify the process, minimize disruptions, and start enjoying your new home sooner. Remember to create a timeline, declutter, pack strategically, and enlist the help of professionals or loved ones.

With a well-executed plan, you can turn your move into an exciting adventure and begin creating new memories in your new home.
