There are so many things Canadians sell on their own.

Add their houses to the list as well.

New research commissioned by Kijiji Canada indicates that 61 per cent of Canadians would consider selling their home on their own if it was easy and more affordable than using a real estate agent and, in fact, 22 per cent of those who have sold a home in the past have sold a home on their own at least once.

It’s an interesting trend in the real estate market. But the survey also indicates many homeowners are not prepared to do what it takes when going it alone.

Here’s some data from the research:

Nearly three-quarters (72 per cent) of those who believe decluttering is important didn’t actually purge their home of many items before selling.

A large majority (86 per cent) of those who believe conducting renovations is important before selling a home didn’t do any when selling their home.

A large majority (86 per cent) believe staging is important, but 61 per cent of those who think it’s important didn’t do it.

The survey also found that the majority (62 per cent) of Canadians are doing minimal maintenance to prepare their home.

So while more people are thinking of selling their own home they should be aware of what they need to do to be successful.
