Ready to Sell in 2025? Here’s Why Now is the Time to List Your Home

If you’ve been sitting on the fence about selling your home, you’re not alone. With interest rates shifting, market buzz rising, and summer around the corner, homeowners across Peterborough and surrounding areas are asking the same question: “Is now a good time to sell?”

Here’s the straight answer — yes.

The 2025 real estate market is shaping up to be a golden opportunity for sellers. Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or relocating, this season offers the right blend of buyer demand, limited inventory, and solid pricing to get you top dollar.

Let’s break it down and show you why selling now — not later — might be your smartest move this year.

1. Inventory Is Still Low — That’s Great for You

The number of homes available for sale in the Peterborough and Kawarthas region is still well below pre-pandemic levels. While more listings are coming onto the market compared to the last two years, demand continues to outpace supply.

This creates an advantage for sellers. With fewer homes to choose from, buyers are acting fast and offering strong prices, especially for homes that are staged well and priced right.

At Sold by Shearers, we’ve helped homeowners list, show, and sell successfully even in complex markets. We know how to position your home to stand out.

2. Serious Buyers Are Back

Spring and early summer always attract high foot traffic, but 2025 buyers are particularly motivated. Many held off during the economic uncertainty of the past year — now they’re ready to make a move.

Here’s what that means for you:

• Pre-approved buyers ready to move fast

• More showing requests and open house attendance

• Competitive offers — sometimes above asking

If you’re listing with us, we’ll make sure your home is shown to qualified, serious buyers, not just browsers.

3. Pricing Is Stable — But Trends Change Fast

Home values in our area have seen consistent appreciation over the past decade. Even with market adjustments, homes in good condition and desirable neighbourhoods are still commanding top dollar.

But here’s the catch — market timing matters. Rising interest rates or shifts in government policy can cool things down quickly. Listing now ensures you take advantage of today’s seller-friendly window before the market swings.

We’ll run a custom market analysis to help you price your home strategically, based on your goals and local trends.
