If you want a cleaner plan before you list, recent numbers give you a practical starting point.
If you are deciding whether to put your home on the market now, my answer is yes, but only if you go in with a disciplined plan. In Strathmore, AB, the recent pace still supports a move, yet the homes that win are the ones positioned correctly from day one.
Over the previous 30 days, 30 homes sold in Strathmore, AB, 49 new listings came on, and active supply stood at 102 homes. A typical sale took 56 days, recent offers landed at 97.0% of asking, and the typical overall home value sat at $446,200 last month. For a homeowner, that combination tells me this is not the time to guess on pricing or assume buyers will stretch just because inventory exists. With supply at 3.40 months and new listings outpacing sales, I would treat presentation, pricing, and timing as leverage points you control rather than details you can fix later. Start with your asking price before you touch anything else. Prep the home to remove easy objections. Build your launch around the first few weeks, because I would rather position you well upfront than chase the market after sitting too long.
