Jusqu'à présent, nous avons eu quelques appels d'intérêt, mais aucune visite. On n'a donc pas trop espoir de vendre dans un avenir rapproché, à moins de baisser notre prix de façon significative. C'est difficile de compétitioner avec tous les autres vendeurs, et surtout avec les constructeurs qui offrent des nouveaux condos avec des mois de loyer gratuit et des nouvelles maisons avec des années sans taxes municipales.
Alors on a décidé de rénover la maison un peu, avec l'espoir d'y être plus confortable, mais aussi, de se démarquer un peu dans la flot de maisons à vendre. Ça avance à pas de tortue évidemment, mais au moins au moins on a l'impression d'aider notre cause un peu...

Remember when I told you we were putting our house for sale? Well, so did several of our neighbours right after we put our card on our front lawn. So much so that at the moment, there are 7 semi-detached for sale on in a 200m radius around our house. All built at the same time, all looking pretty much the same. And if you walk a little further in the neighbourhood, there are dozens more houses for sale. And then in Aylmer, it's a house-for-sale festival. But yet, the builders keep building, and you see house projects and condos going up everywhere.
So far we've had a few calls of interest, but no visit. We are not hopeful to sell anytime soon, unless we get desperate and lower our price way down. It is hard to compete against all of the other people, and most especially, against the builders who are offering new condos with months of free rent or new homes with years of free taxes.
So we decided to renovate the house a little bit in an effort to make it more comfortable for us and maybe, hopefully, make it stand out a bit amongst all the other ones on offer. It's moving at a snail's pace obviously, but at least we feel like we are doing something...
