gotta love youtube algorithm. as a new apartment owner remodeling the new home, i am really into this remodeling stuff and those are nice tips, altough not aplicable in my case. anyhow, your other videos are really good too so i had to come back to this one and comment + subscribe
The staging is the real difference. The floor reno looks good but kitchen and bathroom look subpar for a 500K purchase. I remodeled both of my bathrooms on my rental and it made a difference on look and rental interest. Same usually applies to buyers. Wish them best of luck on the sale.
Love that balcony ❤️ I typically hate staging but this was really well done. Often times I find staging makes places feel smaller and more cramped. Nice job overall!
buyer voyeur of market, refusing to pay these inflated prices. i know that aging part of rosslyn and that there are better opportunities at more reasonable or equal prices nearby. pulled up tax assessment info and see that unit hadn't appreciated much in the last decade. was thinking... naaaw. pulled up the closed mls... wow so much over assessed value, congrats!! it is NICE to be a seller right now. buyer, not so much since it is unlikely to pay off especially in a condo
Literally did a side to side comparison and all it is just the floors, trims, paint, color of the light bulbs in the fixture and new outlets/switches. Wild
You can put real wood flooring in condos in New Jersey. I've been looking to buy and I’ve seen both laminated and real wood floors. Maybe that’s true in your state
This is great! How do you feel about updating duct boards in a popcorn ceiling with asbestos? THat is my biggest concern. I need to live in the condo for one year before renting it
I hate popcorn ceilings and would advise everyone get rid of them. One issue is that it’s not great ROI. They’re expensive to remove/smooth and you don’t get a huge increase in value. This condo specifically doesn’t have asbestos but that’s wise to look out for that.
Nice but you first said you were using Pergo Laminate floors then in the end you said yo installed new hard wood floors. Which is it? The enclosed balcony is very nice but I can not believe it is worth $440,000.00.
Absolutely Gorgeous, Stunning!!!💖 I'm shocked!!! Doesn't look like the same place!!! ✨Such a transformation, one of the most stunning, attractive & tasteful restorations I've easily ever seen and applied such smart tact/strategy💡 The glass balcony, to die for!!! 💘 My father, great uncle and a cousin all live in Virginia, it's such a pretty & special state! I'll remember Mister Belvedere if I'm ever looking down there! I wish New England had cities & condo options like that, condo living is where I hope to be. I totally agreed with your consensus that renting makes most sense for singles and saves, owning properties is very expensive, especially houses and you also have to invest your time in taking care of yard work & shoveling, things renters are at their leisure on and I've gotten to a point in life where time is more valuable than money. My enjoyment is more valuable,☺️ because we are only here for so long! People can be naive and say I'm crazy not to buy with mortgage's as low as $200-300 or $400's, but they are always the One's who don't own themselves, likely never will and haven't the slightest realistic clue just how many bills are associated each month with owning, even a condo can have high fee's. I tell them to get themselves out there and THEN come tell me I'm nuts choosing not to buy, once they realize how much a roof costs, plumbing repairs, emergencies, it's all on you and it ends up being quite expensive.😟 This has become easily my favorite channel for real estate 🌹

Amazing transformation with just paint, flooring and light fixtures.
Holy cow that’s the same condo?! Your renovation suggestions were on point!
Thanks Lyndsay! Glad we hit the market before the holidays!
Omg I love that balcony!!! 😍
Ha. You renovated your wardrobe also; grey/purple became ‘I’m serious!’ black on black. Good call!
Matt- fun, concise, informative.
Who do you recommend for renovations?

Thank you!
Rosslyn! But good guess
I agree, I immediately pictured it as my office
And FAKE, hate the mom decor they always use
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO FRIEND. IT WAS VERY HELPFUL.
Paint really does a lot

Thanks! Yeah it’s tough out there for buyers right now
Great video! Thank you.
Since you didn’t renovate the bathrooms or kitchen….what did you change in them? They look much better now
Literally did a side to side comparison and all it is just the floors, trims, paint, color of the light bulbs in the fixture and new outlets/switches. Wild

Very helpful.
Has this sold? Saw it on the market maybe two weeks ago! Really great reno, Matt.
Yes! It has sold. Thanks man!
Sooo 14k for flooring paint and fixtures Jesus
In this economy? Yes lol No bargains to be had unless you’re either stealing or taking things from the dumpster. Even thrift stores are expensive!
Exactly. I’ve seen better for less.
that's great ideas to make it nice and attractive to sale
thanks
Condos don’t allow hardwood floors because they’re noisy when you walk on them
Beautiful
Can you do condo for beginner pls, I'm a new subscriber
Nice but you first said you were using Pergo Laminate floors then in the end you said yo installed new hard wood floors. Which is it? The enclosed balcony is very nice but I can not believe it is worth $440,000.00.
You'd never know that was the same place. Beautiful transformation!!
I have hardwood floors in my condo.
why condo don't allow to install real hardwood floor?
Great!
do u sell propeties like this?
all the time
I thought laminate was not waterproof. Wouldn’t vinyl have been better?
if waterproofing is your main priority, then maybe. some high quality laminate is better than cheap vinyl
If you plan on renting it, LVP makes sense. If it’s just a cheap flip, then whatever’s the cheapest material
this is so stupid. what has happened to homes and the charm behind them... this is just obsessed with money and ROI
the suit is so unnecessary
After closing costs and fees profit disappears
490 for that?
I stopped watching when I heard "we are gonna keep the popcorn ceiling". Its really not that expensive to rid of it ....😅😅😅😅
My thought is… you a damn fool to buy a condo that small for 500k
😂😂
Argh, not grey! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just do white.
you're right! Whites are in and greys are out. I wish you had told us sooner :)

IoHi
Flooring, paint and staging. Nothing of actual importance was done. All a head-fake to sell to some dupes.
