A practical plan for timing, access, and buyer feedback
If you are deciding how flexible you need to be with showings, think in terms of momentum the easier you are to see, the easier it is to sell. In Olds, AB, I plan for a market where sales take time and buyers compare.
Here is the constraint I plan around based on the previous 30 days 38 homes were available last month in Olds, AB.

The practical impact is that buyers can skip homes that are hard to access. Last month in Olds, AB, there were 22 new listings and 12 sales, with supply at 3.17 months.
A typical sale took 65 days last month in Olds, AB, and recent offers landed around 97.0% of asking. Some metrics were not reported for this period.
Strategy Make your showing schedule as open as possible in the first two weeks so you capture the motivated buyers quickly. Use buyer feedback to pressure-test your price and presentation early, and adjust before days on market becomes your biggest objection.
Keep your expectations aligned to property type. Detached benchmark pricing was $476,900 last month in Olds, AB, and semi-detached was $375,000.
