Who buys in Stirling

Stirling is a family market. The median age in 2021 was just 32.4. About 94% of occupied homes were single-detached houses, about 87% of households owned their home and more than half of homes had four or more bedrooms.

That makes the typical buyer a growing family, often moving out from Lethbridge or from Raymond, Magrath and other nearby towns, who wants room inside and out. Newer homes built in the last 20 years compete with older character homes on the original large lots, and both sell to buyers who value space.

Tips for Stirling sellers

• Sell the lot. Stirling's original layout gave many homes unusually large lots. Gardens, shops, play space and RV parking belong in the listing and the photos.
• Talk about the commute. Buyers moving from Lethbridge want to know the drive. About half an hour on Highway 4 is a selling point worth stating.
• Bedroom count matters. If you have a finished basement with legal-size bedroom windows, make sure it's measured and described accurately.
