What that means for your sale:

• Your competition is West Lethbridge. Many buyers compare a Coalhurst home with one in the city. Show them the value: lot size, garage, newer finishes, and a quick drive.
• Newer homes need sharp presentation. When several similar homes are for sale, photos, staging and price decide which one gets the showings.
• Starter homes and duplexes attract first-time buyers. Make it easy for them. Have your utility costs and any warranty details ready.
