Preparing Your Home For Sale

Princess Alexandra Retirement Village

For many people, the thought of downsizing and moving to a new house can be pretty daunting, especially if you’ve lived in the family home for the last 20 to 30 years. But if you take the plunge, it can open the door for you to truly expand your life.

There are two things to consider when you’ve decided to sell up – how to present your home so it’s appealing to buyers and packing up your home for the physical move.

Before you jump into renovations to make the place look shiny and new, think carefully about the value they will add to the house and whether you’ll recover that cost in the sale price. Renovations can be costly, stressful and time-consuming, so they’re only worth making if they’ll add significant value to your house sale.

Two beautiful friendly domestic rabbits

Janet from Westshore

Seen approx 10 am Sunday at the car park in Onehunga Road before you enter the reserve. They were so friendly and tame. I hope they haven’t been dumped there. Could they be escapees from the kindergarten? They were content to nibble on grass. Help them please.
