The Best Tips for Selling Your Home Fast in Edmonton
Tips for Selling Your Home Fast
Selling your home can be a major decision, and in a competitive market like Edmonton, you’ll want to make sure your property stands out and sells quickly — and at the right price. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, here are the best proven tips to help you sell your home fast and move forward with confidence.
1. Price It Right from the Start
Setting the right price is one of the most important factors in selling your home quickly. Overpricing can scare away potential buyers, while underpricing can lead to lost value.
Start by researching comparable properties in your area or getting a free home evaluation through Move Faster. Their experts can help you determine a competitive and accurate listing price that attracts attention and serious offers.
2. Make a Great First Impression
First impressions matter — and your home’s exterior is the first thing buyers notice.
Enhance your curb appeal by:
- Cleaning and painting the front door
- Maintaining your lawn and landscaping
- Adding fresh flowers or greenery
- Replacing worn-out house numbers or lighting fixtures
A clean, well-kept exterior immediately signals to buyers that the home has been cared for.
3. Declutter and Depersonalize
Buyers want to picture themselves living in your home, not feel like they’re walking through someone else’s.
Before listing, take time to:
- Remove personal photos and décor
- Clear countertops and minimize furniture
- Organize closets and storage spaces
This helps create a more spacious, inviting atmosphere that appeals to a broader audience.
4. Stage Your Home Professionally
taging your home can make a big difference in how fast it sells. A professionally staged home can highlight your home’s best features and help potential buyers visualize the lifestyle they could have.
The Move Faster team can guide you on the best staging strategies — from arranging furniture to optimizing lighting and décor.
5. Invest in Professional Photography
High-quality photos are essential in attracting online buyers. Listings with professional photos get significantly more views and inquiries than those without.
Make sure your home is well-lit, clean, and captured from the best angles to make it stand out on Move Faster and other listing platforms.
6. Market Your Home Strategically
To sell your home fast, visibility is key. A solid marketing plan should include:
- MLS listing exposure
- Social media promotions
- Local real estate platforms
- Targeted ads and open houses
With Move Faster, you can count on a strong marketing strategy that reaches qualified buyers quickly.
7. Be Flexible with Showings
The more accessible your home is for showings, the faster it’s likely to sell. Be open to last-minute requests and keep your home clean and ready to impress.
8.Work with Edmonton Experts
Partnering with a trusted local real estate team can save you time, stress, and money. Move Faster understands the Edmonton market inside and out — offering the insights and support you need for a smooth, successful sale.

Selling Fast FAQs

How much value does professional photography add?
It isn’t just about value; it’s about speed. Listings with professional, high-definition photography sell 32% faster than those with amateur photos. In the age of Instagram, your “first showing” happens online. If the photos are dark, the buyer never books the physical tour.
What is the average Days on Market (DOM) in Edmonton?
As of late 2025, the average DOM for a single-family home is approximately 44 days. However, “Hot” listings that are priced correctly typically go pending in 7 to 12 days. If your home has been on the market for 60+ days, it is statistically considered “stale,” and buyers will expect a discount of 3–5%.
Does pricing “low” actually create a bidding war?
It is a proven strategy. Pricing a home 5% below market value can increase buyer traffic by up to 40%. This density of interest creates “Social Proof”—when buyers see other buyers at the open house, they get competitive, often driving the price back up to (or over) market value.
What is the best month to sell a house quickly in Edmonton?
Historically, May and June have the highest sales velocity, with homes selling 15–20% faster than in winter. However, January is a hidden gem: inventory is often at its lowest (less competition), and buyers looking in -20°C weather are highly motivated and serious.
How much does “clutter” cost me?
Data suggests that a decluttered home can sell for 3% to 5% more than a cluttered one. On a $500,000 home, that is a $15,000 to $25,000 difference just for moving boxes into a storage unit.
What is the “10-Showings Rule”?
This is a benchmark we use to diagnose a stall. If you have had 10 showings and 0 offers, the market is telling you that the price is too high for the condition. If you have had 0 showings, the price is likely significantly too high, or the photos are poor.
