Good time to put your home on the market!

People often ask us "When is the best time to put your home on the market?" and there are pros and cons to every season. Larger numbers of Canadians prefer to buy their homes and other real estate holdings in the spring and fall. In Canada, we're big on negotiating our deals around the school year of children. A large portion of sales occur around August and September, just before parents enroll their kids in schools.

But people buy homes at any time of the year. Of course, spring tends to bring out more buyers and there is usually fewer homes listed during the winter, but that means less competition for the buyers and for the seller. We can make your listing appealing to buyers regardless of the weather. We're also Home Stagers and can give you tips on how to make your home and yard very attractive and inviting to potential buyers at any time of the year. If you're considering putting your home on the market but don't feel fall or winter is the right time please give us a call and and we can discuss how we will market your property to its full potential no matter what the season and come up with a plan of  action to get your house sold.

Please call Chris or Barbara, your full service Real Estate Team at 250-614-3727 or 250-960-8614

Financial institutions, insurance companies, lawyer.

Schools.

Friends, relatives and your employers.

Services (e.g. alarm company, lawn care, cleaners).

Pack

Hire movers. Research companies, get referrals from friends and arrange for estimates before making your choice.

Disconnect and clean appliances if you're taking them.
