Sell Your Home in Taber

Taber has its own rhythm. It's a working farm town where Cornfest takes over the last full weekend of August, and buyers come for space, schools and a shorter commute to the jobs on Highway 3. If you're thinking of selling, 2% Realty can list your Taber home on the MLS® System with full service from local REALTORS®, for a 2% total commission.*

What Taber's housing looks like

According to the 2021 Census, about 72% of occupied homes in Taber are single-detached houses. Apartments make up about 16%, more than in most towns this size, and semi-detached and row homes about 8%. Roughly 73% of households own their home.

Taber's housing stock is mature. About 57% of homes were built before 1981, and about 17% since 2001. Four in ten homes have four or more bedrooms.

What that means when you sell:

• Older homes: buyers will ask about the roof, windows, furnace, electrical and plumbing. Gather receipts for any upgrades before you list, because updates are a big part of the story you can tell.
• Newer homes: they compete with each other on finish and layout. Good photos and the right price matter most.
• Apartments and condos: have your condo documents ready early, since buyers and their lenders will want to review them.
