Speed Matters More Than Most Sellers Expect
Days on market comes down to how well you prepped your home and how well you priced it. If your home sells in the first two weeks, you are almost always going to get the strongest price. Every day past 14 days usually means you are leaving money on the table.
Look at the Days on market column on the left and the Sold vs original column on the right. Getting your listing price wrong costs you money. The data proves it.
| Days on market | Sales | Avg sold vs original |
|---|---|---|
| 0–14 days | 235 | -0.1% |
| 15–30 days | 204 | -2.1% |
| 31–60 days | 153 | -3.8% |
| 60+ days | 98 | -5.5% |

Avg sold vs original-5.5%
Homes that moved in the first two weeks sold at or near their asking price. By the 60-day mark, you are going to end up more than 5.5% below your original ask. That is why day-one pricing matters more than a late price cut.
5.5% on a $600,000 home is $33,000.

The Three Steps Before You List
1. Know your number. Pull recent detached sold comps in your community. Not your tax assessment alone. Start with What Is My Home Worth? or a Home Value Estimate.
2. Price for the first 14 days. The data above shows that is when you keep the most leverage. Read drop your price or price wrong on day one? for what Apr–May sold data shows about cuts vs launch price.
3. Pick your timing on purpose. Not every month is equal. Read list now or wait until fall if you are still deciding when to go live. For the full process, see How Selling Works.
Jason's Take
Selling a home in Calgary is not one playbook. It is comps, condition, and launch price in your specific community. The MLS data says southeast detached sellers who moved fast held near list. The ones who sat past a month gave more up.
If you are getting ready to sell, send me your address. I will walk you through what similar homes actually sold for. No hard sell.
