There are many situations in our current hot seller's market, where listing slightly or reasonably below market value can be advantageous.

We of course, can discuss specific strategic approach with you at the time of evaluation, but the housing market in Nova Scotia isn't always a completely logical one. For example, if your property is worth roughly $500k and is a sought after property in a hot neighborhood, but you list it for $540 hoping for the best, it may lag to sell with minimal viewings, minimal offers, and it could end up taking months only to sell roughly for the originally identified market value of $500k or less, because after months of sitting on the market buyers incorrectly assume something is wrong with the property (it happens all the time).

But if you take that same property, list it early in the week for $475k, a price that is clearly below market value, instruct agents that you won't be presenting offers to sellers before a set date and time when offers are due roughly one week after listing, in order to give everyone who wants to view it a chance to do so, you dramatically increase the odds that you end up with multiple offers when you finally present, and because the listing price is so far below market value, buyers don't know exactly how much they need to offer in order to be competitive, end up coming in over market in an effort to be the winner, and now all the sudden you have a much greater chance of actually seeing that above market price of $540k than you would if you just actually asked for that much to begin with!

And of course, we don't mind pricing high, we don't mind fielding a thousand inquiries and drawing a line in the sand and holding firm on the price you're looking for. That said, we'll also tell you if we think your asking price is a little high, fairly ambitious, or straight up unrealistic for the market, but we'll say our piece to ensure you have what we think is the best available information (backed by a variety of hard data points such as comparables sold, market trends, global factors, etc.) and still list at the price you want and see how it goes.

New property listed in 104-Truro / Bible Hill, Northern Region

I have listed a new property at 46 South Street in Truro. See details here

Exceptional Opportunity on South Street - Bring Your Vision! Welcome to 46 South Street, a diamond in the rough sitting on a large corner lot in one of Truro’s most sought-after mature neighbourhoods. This property may have seen better days, but it has exceptional bones and the potential to become something truly special for the right buyer. Originally purchased as a fix-and-flip project, the current seller is unable to complete the work due to other commitments - creating an incredible chance for you to step in and finish the job. The interior has already been gutted, saving you time and money on demo, and all-new windows and doors have already been purchased and are included with the sale. Zoned R-2, the property can, by right, be converted into two units. The basement, featuring high ceilings and convenient access through the rear entrance, offers a natural opportunity for a smooth conversion into a self-contained suite. Additionally, there's potential for a third unit in the garage subject to a development agreement from the town (buyer to verify). Whether you're an investor, builder, or someone with vision and a bit of elbow grease, this is a rare chance to create real value in a fast-growing market. Just minutes from groceries, public transit, the hospital, civic centre, Dalhousie University's Agricultural Campus, and all the amenities booming Truro has to offer. Please note: the home is currently un-insurable and unlikely to qualify for traditional financing - this is a project best suited to cash buyers or those with alternative financing. We were told by a mortgage broker that this property may qualify for certain private lender financing options. We have an estimate from a General Contractor based in Dartmouth to complete the renovation and convert this property into two units, including most costs, at a price of roughly $153,000. Don't miss out on this promising redevelopment opportunity - contact your agent today to learn more!
