Alex Samuel • Feb 02, 2024

If you're hoping to sell your house this year in Winnipeg when is the best time to take it to market. But first what happened in the Winnipeg real estate market in January. In January in Winnipeg we saw house sales decrease 2.4% over last year but prices increase 11.8%. In condos we saw sales decrease 35.9% and prices increase 4.5%.  As you can see there has been increase already this year in pricing. This is a direct reflection of the decrease in overall inventory. This is kind of what we expect to see throughout the year which leads us into the next big question when is the best time to take your house to market. Typically we see February and March with the lowest amount of inventory which means that's when you're going to see the greatest demand from buyers that are currently looking. However as I always say timing really doesn't matter which matters most is great marketing and also making sure that your house shows well and is staged properly.

How do you send a buyer running out the door? Number 6, not replacing knob and tube wiring or aluminum wiring. I have seen absolutely beautiful houses that buyers fall in love with but they choose not to put an offer in. The reason is they go into the basement and they find knob and tube wiring or aluminum wiring now it's not a big deal however, the buyer will associate a very high cost to replacing it plus a hassle to get it done. This is why as a homeowner it's important that you take this on get it done before we go to market. This way we don't have that issue plus we can advertise as updated wiring again getting a higher offer price and getting it sold quicker.

How do you send a buyer running out the door? Number four, not doing minor repairs. When buyers walk through your house they look at every single detail. Now everyone has little problems with their house, that's not a problem but these little things do add up in the buyer's mind and they don't make a great impression. The more things you have the more things they start looking for. That's why as Realtors we are really good at knowing what things should be fixed and done before you go to market. One nice thing about the Judy Lindsay Team is we have a free handyman service that can come in and help fix these little things to make sure your house shows really well and is going to get you more money.
