The County of Renfrew stretches from the National Capital Region of Ottawa to the west, along the shores of the beautiful Ottawa River to the northern tip of historic Algonquin Park. Renfrew County is the largest county in Ontario, with more than 900 pristine lakes and four major river systems. From the high-tech world of nuclear research in the northwest, through the farmlands of Cobden and Renfrew, the back-to-nature spirit of Killaloe and Barry’s Bay and the urban commuter town of Arnprior — this county is Canadian diversity at its best. You’ll find nooks and crannies, festivals and shops, brooks and trails — enough to explore for years to come!
Selling Your Home >An Empty House
There are two schools of thought about whether it is better to show a house empty or with the furnishings in it. An empty house is like a blank canvas, and prospective buyers can more easily imagine what their things would look like in it. But buyers could take the fact that the house is vacant as a sign that the sellers are very anxious to sell and, therefore, might entertain a low offer.
Our recommendations are usually based on how the house would look. Personal taste is highly subjective. Unless your furniture looks really wonderful and is neutral in color and conservative in style, it could distract buyers from the most attractive qualities of your home. The fact that your home is vacant could give it a competitive edge when they make their final selection. Will it attract low offers? It might, but if the price is right, it will attract reasonable offers, too.
