Marketing
Your Property
Marketing includes setting a
realistic asking price, preparing and advertising
the property, and showing it to potential buyers.
Your local public library's reference section may have
a copy of the CMHC publication Canadian Housing
Markets and Housing Market Outlook, both
of which provide useful summaries of market activity
and trends; local realtors may be willing to provide
more specific information.
Visit all the other homes for sale in your area and
general price range to get an idea of asking prices
and be as objective as you can when comparing
location, age, size, extras, and general condition.
The links listed below will help - stay tuned as we
continue to look for more...
