Once renowned for its seller-favouring conditions, Toronto’s contemporary real estate market is now far more balanced. Today buyers are enjoying a comparatively high volume of inventory to select from and a lesser degree of competition. While there is still a healthy degree of buyer activity, homeowners who are aiming to accomplish a smooth, lucrative sale must place greater emphasis on ensuring their property stands out among others. 

While there are myriad avenues for how this can be accomplished, including pre-market preparations, selecting a strategically informed asking price is particularly imperative for sellers seeking a high-end result. In this blog post, we will touch on the critical nature of pricing in today’s market.   

In the contemporary market, electing to list your home as-is will ultimately lead to money left on the table. Click here to read our blog about How to Effectively Prepare Your Home For Sale. 

Attracting Greater Interest 

For home sellers in today’s market, carefully selecting the right asking price is of the utmost importance. One of the primary reasons for this is that it dictates who will discover your home. 

Given the continual elevations in lending costs, many buyers today are working with comparatively limited financial resources. With that in mind, most of them are curtailing their property search to a somewhat narrow price range and taking their time to survey and scrutinize every option on the market. 

While some prospective sellers assume that selecting a listing price on the high end is risk-averse as interested buyers will simply submit lower offers, this perspective is misinformed. In reality, overpricing one’s home for the market increases the likelihood that it will be bypassed by personal search filters. As a result, the property reaches fewer buyers who could otherwise potentially convert into offers.

Contextualizing Today’s Market

Although today’s market is different, there is still an active pool of potential buyers. However, given the new economic conditions that these buyers are facing, they will be looking to make an investment with longevity. 

Therefore, sellers still have plenty of opportunities to find success, but they must be willing to elevate their property above their competitors. This includes investing in their sale, taking a thoughtful approach to pre-market preparations, and of course, selecting an asking price that entices buyers – without damaging return potential. 

What Dictates a Property’s Market Value?

In Toronto, property values are ever changing and far from static. While many homeowners may have an estimation of what their property is worth, that number does not always match contemporary trends. Rather, the value of an individual property is determined by the market. 

In other words, a home is ultimately worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it. With that principle in mind, it is absolutely essential that sellers endeavour to present their property at its best if they wish to attract quality offers. Strategic pricing will play a substantive role in this process. 

Home sellers who are looking to achieve a remarkable result on their home sale must partner with a leading Toronto real estate agent. Among other responsibilities, a skilled, knowledgeable agent can provide informed pricing recommendations based on up-to-the-minute insights from the local market, historical data, professional experience, and beyond.
