What should I do first to get my home ready to sell?

The first real step is finding out what the home is actually worth against the Saskatchewan REALTORS Association's current benchmark of $444,700, before spending money on anything, because that number tells you which fixes are worth doing and which ones would not move the price at all.

After that, decluttering and a deep clean do the most for the least cost, since they let a buyer see the space rather than your belongings in it, and that matters more in the first days of showings than almost any other single change.

Minor repairs, a dripping faucet, a cracked outlet cover, a sticking door, matter next, because a buyer's home inspection, typically $400 to $600, will flag them anyway, and fixing them ahead of time reads as a well maintained home rather than a deferred one.

Start with the number, not the project list. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
