THE PROS OF BUYING NEW
Currently the re-sale condo market is still going strong; there is also no end to the new building developments popping up all over the city. The number one benefit of purchasing a new condo in development is the selection.
Most developers offer potential homeowners the opportunity to have a hand in the design, layout, and interior features of their unit. This also means your choice of fantastic upgrades.
Of course, the standard fixtures are cheaper and do their job just fine. However, sometimes custom upgrades are worth the splurge especially when it comes to the resale market which is something every condo purchaser should keep in mind. In some cases, it’s cheaper to choose upgrades and benefit from the wholesale price developers offer rather than choose to re-model at full price later. It also means the work is done prior to moving in which means you don’t have to live in a construction zone after you’ve moved!
Here are some upgrade options guaranteed to pay off when you decide to enter the resale market:
- Custom design cabinetry
- Pot lights or recessed lighting
- Granite or stone countertops
- Kitchen islands
- Engineered hardwood floors
- Glass tiled backsplashes
- Marble/stone/travertine entranceways
- Jacuzzi or deep soaker tubs
- Luxury spa inspired showerheads/rain showerhead
- Courtyard-style terraces, bricked with interlocking stone
- Built-in sound system with speakers or pre-installed wiring
- High-quality broadloom
