If your home's been sitting without offers, you're not alone. Here's how to turn it around.

What to Do If Your Home Isn’t Selling in Ontario

It’s been weeks—maybe even months—and still no solid offers. Showings have slowed, feedback is vague, and the excitement you felt when you listed has turned into frustration.

If this sounds like where you’re at, take a breath. It happens more often than you’d think. And the good news? It’s fixable.

🚩 First, Ask: Is It the Price?

This is almost always the #1 reason homes don’t sell—especially in today’s market. Even a well-staged home with good marketing can struggle if it’s priced above what buyers expect.

If buyers are seeing better value elsewhere, they’re moving on. And in many Ontario markets, especially Brockville and Eastern Ontario, price sensitivity is high.

Signs Your Price May Be Off:

• You had lots of showings early on, but no offers
• Your price is higher than recent solds in your area
• Similar homes are selling, but yours is not

🖼️ Next: Check Your Presentation

Buyers shop online first—if your listing photos don’t wow them, they won’t even book a showing. Once they’re in the door, things like clutter, odors, poor lighting, or deferred maintenance can kill momentum fast.

Quick Fixes That Make a Big Difference:

• Re-stage key areas like the kitchen, living room, and entryway
• Hire a professional photographer (worth every penny)
• Declutter rooms, closets, and surfaces—make space feel open
• Touch up paint, replace burnt bulbs, clean baseboards

📉 Market Timing or External Factors

Sometimes, the issue isn’t you or your house—it’s the market. If you listed in a seasonal lull (like mid-winter), or while interest rates spiked, buyer activity may simply be down.

In those cases, it’s about holding steady, staying visible, and adjusting strategy—not panicking.

📣 Are You Getting Enough Exposure?

Here’s a tough truth: some listings just don’t get the reach they should. If your agent isn’t leveraging online ads, syndicating to top real estate sites, or running targeted social campaigns, buyers might not even know your home exists.

Strong marketing makes a real difference—especially when competition is high. I use a mix of online targeting, local promotion, and smart listing platforms to get more eyes (and the right eyes) on your home.

🧠 Thinking About What Comes Next?

If your listing has expired—or you’re not sure whether to relist—it might be time for a fresh set of eyes. Sometimes all it takes is a new perspective and a different approach to turn things around.

Whether you’re planning to re-enter the market now or later, I’m here to help you put the right strategy in place—one that actually gets results.

♻️ When to Relist—and How to Do It Right

If your listing expires or you choose to pull it from the market, relisting gives you a clean slate. But it needs to be done with a clear plan, not just a repeat of what didn’t work the first time.

Relist Tips:

• Change up the staging or visuals
• Adjust pricing to reflect current activity
• Launch with strong marketing to hit buyers fresh
