Every spring, the same question lands in our inbox: should we list now, or wait until after Pesach? It feels like a calendar problem. It’s really a buyer-behaviour problem — and once you see it that way, the answer gets a lot clearer.
The corridor runs on its own calendar
Toronto’s broader market wakes up in February and peaks in May. But the Bathurst corridor moves to a slightly different rhythm. Families here plan around the school year and the chagim, which means a real surge of motivated buyers in the four to six weeks before Pesach.
The best spring sale isn’t the earliest one. It’s the most prepared one.
What we’d do
For most corridor homes, we aim to be photo-ready two to three weeks before the chag and launch into that motivated buyer pool. A great home, shown well, sells in any month. A rushed one rarely does.
