This is an illustrative timeline, not a real client story. It shows how a seller might approach a sale in a slower market.
Week one: price the home against recent transactions for similar units, not against the highest asking price in the building. Agree on a realistic range with the agent before listing.
Weeks two to three: prepare the home. Declutter, repair visible issues, and arrange professional photography. Good presentation helps a home stand out when buyers have more choice.
Weeks four to eight: market and viewings. Respond quickly to enquiries, collect feedback after each viewing, and be prepared to adjust the price if the evidence supports it. Short, honest feedback loops keep the sale on track.
Weeks nine onwards: negotiate and complete. Review each offer on its full terms, including completion timing and conditions. A sale that completes cleanly is worth more than one that looks good on paper but falls through.
