Pricing is the single biggest lever. A home priced against real comparable sales attracts serious offers in the first weeks on the market, while one priced above the comparables sits, gets stale, and often ends up selling for less than a correct price would have brought from the start.
Condition and presentation are the second lever, and they matter most in an older, established neighbourhood like University Heights. A pre-listing home inspection at $400 to $600 lets you fix or disclose issues before a buyer's inspector finds them during a condition period and reopens negotiations.
For a relocation with a firm deadline, the honest approach is to price for certainty rather than to test the market's ceiling. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
