Project Overview
This Watson home needed to be prepared for sale quickly. The owner had recently moved into aged care and needed the property sold efficiently so she wasn’t managing two sets of costs. Renovation Matters was brought in to coordinate everything from the initial tidy-up to the final styling, ensuring the home hit the market at the right time and presented at its best.
The 3-bed, 1-bath home required a refresh. The goal was simple: deliver a cost-effective, well-managed renovation that increased buyer appeal and maximised the final sale result. Everything was completed on schedule and in close coordination with the real estate agent to ensure a smooth transition straight to auction.
The Result
The owners invested $21,630 into preparing the property for sale.
The uplift was outstanding: more than $100,000 above expectations, pushing the sale comfortably over the $1 million mark.
The home presented beautifully, attracted strong buyer interest and sold at auction with an excellent result for the owner.
