Sell Your Home in Nanton

Nanton sits on Highway 2 about 95 km south of Calgary, close enough for city commuters and quiet enough for people leaving the city behind. Known for the Bomber Command Museum of Canada and its antique shops, the town draws a steady stream of visitors, and some of them come back as buyers. 2% Realty lists Nanton homes on the MLS® System with full service from local REALTORS®, for a 2% total commission.*

Who buys in Nanton

Nanton's 2021 median age was 52.8, so many sellers are empty-nesters or retirees, and many buyers are too. Others are younger households who work in High River, Okotoks or south Calgary and want a small-town address on Highway 2.

About 82% of occupied homes were single-detached houses and about 80% of households owned their home. Most listings are detached bungalows and split-levels on regular town lots, with some semi-detached homes and a few apartments.

Selling tips for Nanton

• Market to two audiences. A good listing speaks to Calgary-area buyers comparing commutes and to local buyers moving up or downsizing. We write and target the marketing for both.
• Mention the school project. Families moving to town often ask about schools. Up-to-date facts on the new and modernized schools help them picture life in Nanton.
• Show the low-maintenance side. Main-floor living, a single-car garage and a manageable yard appeal to the many buyers who are downsizing.
