Selling your home in Ontario
Selling a home is a sequence of clear steps: understand what your home is worth today, prepare and price it, put it in front of buyers, and work through offers to a closing date. Homsy helps you start with a professional comparative market analysis (CMA) and connects you with a licensed real-estate professional for the rest.
How selling works
The typical path is: get a valuation and pricing plan, prepare the home, list it on MLS® so it reaches active buyers, host showings, review offers, negotiate price and conditions, and complete the sale on closing day. A licensed professional guides each regulated step; Homsy gives you the market information and the starting point.
What your home is worth
Price is set by what comparable homes are actually selling for right now — recent sales, current competition, and your home's specific features. A comparative market analysis (CMA) reviews those comparables to give a defensible price range, rather than a single guessed number. This is a human review, not an automated estimate.
Preparing and pricing
Small preparation — decluttering, cleaning, minor repairs, and good photography — helps a home show at its best. Pricing to the current market, rather than above it, tends to attract more early interest, since most buyers search within price bands and compare against everything else available.
Showings and offers
Once listed, buyers book showings and their representatives submit offers. An offer covers price, closing date, deposit, and conditions (such as financing or a home inspection). You can accept, decline, or counter. Your representative helps you weigh the full offer, not just the number.
What selling costs
Typical seller costs include the real-estate commission, legal fees for closing, and any mortgage discharge or moving costs. These vary by transaction and are agreed up front — ask your representative for a written estimate specific to your sale before you list.
Buying and selling at the same time
If you're moving from one home to another, the order and timing of the two closings matters — sometimes a longer closing, bridge financing, or a sale condition helps line them up. It's worth planning this sequence with a professional before you list.
