5 Reasons You Should Sell Your Home in October

Do you want to sell your home? Are you afraid that you have waited too long? Don’t despair. For many home sellers this is the perfect time to sell and get top dollar. Let’s discuss why.

Here are 5 reasons why you should sell now:

1. The market is strong

Based on last year’s numbers, almost 2300 homes and condos will sell before December 31st, 2019, (excluding other areas like Sherwood Park and St Albert). This represents around 20% of ALL homes and condos sold during the entire year.

2. Less competition

October is when many home sellers leave the market. The change in leaf colour, the first frost, the first snow fall. These are stimuli that make many sellers give up until Spring. If you have your home for sale now, you will have…

In my last blog To Move or Not we looked at some general questions you might want to ask yourself.

This time around we encourage you to ask a few more pointed questions to see where this might lead you. Here they are:

1. Have you or your loved one been involved in a fall recently? If you live in the Edmonton area as I do, this is not only a worry it’s a distinct possibility for about 5 months of the year.

2. Are you finding it harder to bathe or use the bathroom facilities?

3. Are you becoming more worried about being alone in the house and having in accident or a health issue of some kind for example a heart attack or perhaps fainting?

4. Are you worried about the onset of mental or physical deficiencies for example:…

Ryan

Situation

Ryan purchased the home privately just a few years ago without the assistance and advice of a REALTOR®. As a result, perhaps he paid more than he should have. Therefore, when it came to selling, Ryan needed the best REALTOR® program he could find for the lowest reasonable fee.

The flat fee program offered by Vital Home Realty offered Ryan all that he was looking for.

Result

We spent some time advising Ryan on home staging and presentation tips. After he had finished the program the home looked amazing. We advertised the home for sale widely and especially on Facebook. We also used directional signage off the busy arterial road that makes its way through Highlands ie 112th Ave.

After a reasonable period of time we found a…

Maya & Petar

Situation

Maya & Petar purchased this home in The Hamptons just a few years ago & due to market pressure at that time, they paid much more than they were comfortable with. A change in family circumstances meant that they needed to sell the home quickly & protect their equity as much as possible. Their first decision was to list with a pure discounter i.e. 2% Realty. Unfortunately for Maya & Petar this did not go well. They reported that the service was very limited & advertising was restricted to just a For Sale sign & an MLS® listing. There were no Open Houses offered, no social media marketing & little in the way of feedback.

Maya & Petar realized they needed a different approach. They wanted to hire a full-service REALTOR®. However, they also…
