Sellers and home stagers have been given an amazing gift in the midst of the seemingly unstoppable Toronto real estate market.

Best. Gift. Ever. Let’s unwrap it!
Trendsetters Give Toronto Home Sellers Gift of Grey
Flip through any home and style magazine and you are treated to the colours and trends the design world has embraced for a given season. This season, market influencers and trendsetters are passionate about the many shades of grey, a gorgeous neutral that is appearing in the homes, closets and even driveways of Toronto homes.
Grey Walls Work It For Toronto Home Sellers
The savvy seller knows that it is important to depersonalize their home in order to achieve the broadest appeal. It’s important that potential buyers be able to visualize themselves in the house. An effective way to depersonalize is to implement a neutral presentation when home staging.
I always suggest to my clients that if they intend to paint the principle rooms (which is a good idea if it’s been a few years since a paint brush has touched the walls!), to opt for neutral colours.
How great is it that this year grey is trendy and exciting. Sellers (even those who prefer the pop of vibrant colours) can depersonalize without sacrificing style and buyers will appreciate how fresh and up-to-date your home looks. For inspiration, check out the October 2007 issue of Canadian House and Home.
Toronto Buyers Know What They Like
And if the buyer is able to make that critical emotional connection to the house they are then more likely to consider buying, and to make their offer competitive in order to get the house. All of which translates to a maximized sale price for you.
