Selling a home in London, Ontario this fall looks different than it did even a year ago. Inventory is higher, which means buyers have more options — and they’re being pickier about what they’ll consider. If you want your home to stand out and sell for top dollar, you’ll need the right strategy.
Here are a few key things I’m seeing in the London real estate market right now:
1. Pricing Matters More Than Ever
With more homes on the market, buyers won’t waste time on overpriced listings. A well-priced home generates stronger interest, more showings, and better offers. Overpricing, even slightly, can leave your home sitting on the market.
2. Presentation is Non-Negotiable
In Fall 2025, buyers expect move-in ready. Fresh paint, a tidy yard, and professional photos go a long way. Homes that show well online get more showings in person — and those are the homes buyers compete for.
3. Marketing Beyond the Basics
A “For Sale” sign won’t cut it in a high-inventory market. I focus on professional photos, video tours, targeted social media ads, and MLS exposure. Many buyers still come from outside London, so online marketing is key to capturing their attention.
4. Timing Works in Your Favour
Fall is still a great time to sell in London. Families who didn’t buy in the spring are often looking now, and motivated buyers want to move before winter. The right plan can help your home stand out during this busy season.
