The moves I would make before your home hits the market
If you are planning to sell soon, I would treat preparation as part of pricing, not a separate step. In Canmore, AB over the previous 30 days, a typical sale took 40 days and recent offers landed at 99.5% of asking, which tells me the homes that connect are still being rewarded - but buyers are not handing out easy wins.
Last month, 73 new listings entered the Canmore, AB market and 45 homes sold. With 145 active listings in play and 3.22 months of supply, I would assume buyers are comparing your home closely against competing options before deciding whether to act. That puts pressure on the details you can control. Condition, photography, access, and a price that matches the home all matter more when buyers have real alternatives, and I would not leave any of those pieces loose if the goal is to protect your position early. Handle repairs before photos. Remove anything that makes rooms feel smaller or more personal. Launch with a clean pricing plan and a schedule for reviewing showing feedback in the first several days.
