Vulcan sellers are facing more competition than they were a year ago.
With 17 detached homes available in July versus 7 last year, buyers have significantly more properties to compare. That means sellers need to pay closer attention to pricing, condition and presentation.
The positive news is that the benchmark price has not materially declined despite the additional inventory.
However, sellers should not assume that stable town-wide pricing means every property will achieve the same result. Vulcan's small market means lot size, renovations, garages, age, location and overall condition can create substantial differences between individual properties.
Pricing against today's competing listings — not simply against what a neighbour sold for previously — is increasingly important.
