Selling Homes in a Slower Real Estate Market

Like many other places in the world, Kelowna’s real estate market has changed. We have enjoyed a strong Sellers market for the last couple of years and the tide has certainly shifted. Buyers have a lot to choose from and a property needs to not only be well priced, but be in mint condition to attract a buyer.

We have had many people contacting us wondering how to sell properties in this changing market.

Something we have been doing to increase the awareness about the homes we are selling is hosting events at our listings. We are holding a fashion show at one listing. We will have a winery on site to promote their wine, a ladies dress shop will bring their gowns and models will showcase the latest fashions.

We will be inviting people from our target market to enjoy the evening (and to view the gorgeous home). Once inside the home, we hope that people will appreciate the quality and finishing and will consider making it their home.

Another idea we have implemented is that we are hosting a family fun day in a new development we are selling homes in. There will be ice skating, horse drawn sleigh rides, hot chocolate etc. We will have a gift draw for those people who come inside and view the house we are promoting.

We have been really pleased with the interest these events have generated for our listings and we will continue to do things like this to get properties sold.

As the market changes, it’s important that your Realtor stays on top of the market – and keeps you informed and educated.

If we can help in anyway, please give us a call or email.
