The time your home stays on the market depends on a couple of different factors. Two main factors are where your home is located and the conditions of your local housing market.

Other reasons that affect the days on market could be: your listing price, the condition of your home and how your home is marketed. Each home is different so it’s important to understand your local market.

The value of your home is based on the condition of your home and the level of demand in your local area. When determining an appropriate price, it’s best to look at the comparable sales (recent sales of homes similar in size and condition as yours) in your area.

When getting your home ready to list, making some cosmetic repairs before putting it on the market could make it more marketable and more valuable.

Decluttering and organizing your home before listing it, can help potential buyers focus on your home. It is a simple way to get your home ready for the market.

Every Real Estate website has their own broad algorithms on how they come up with their home value, which means that it’s not specific to your home.

Having an agent look at recent closed transactions and current local data for your immediate neighbourhood. gives you the ability to compare what’s special about your home to determine the value.
