Kitchen & bathroom refreshes
Not full gut renovations — updated fixtures, paint, hardware, and lighting consistently return the most relative to cost.
Paint & decluttering
The highest-ROI work in almost every sale is cosmetic: neutral paint tones and a decluttered, depersonalized space.
Energy efficiency upgrades
Windows and insulation matter more to today's buyers given utility costs, but rarely return their full cost at resale alone.
Common seller questions
In the current balanced-to-buyer's market, selling first is generally lower-risk since it avoids carrying two properties. Bridge financing or a conditional purchase can work depending on your equity position — worth discussing before you list.
Median days on market across the region has been running roughly 12-20 days in 2026, though condition, price accuracy, and neighbourhood all move that number significantly in either direction.
Online tools can't account for interior condition, recent renovations, or hyperlocal demand shifts. They're a reasonable ballpark, not a substitute for an in-person comparative market analysis — which is free to request.
