Sell Your Home in Warner or Coutts

Warner and Coutts sit on Highway 4, the main road between Lethbridge and Interstate 15. Warner is a farming village known for its dinosaur museum and its row of historic grain elevators. Coutts is the border village at Alberta's only 24-hour commercial port of entry to Montana. 2% Realty lists homes in both villages on the MLS® System with full service from local REALTORS®, for a 2% total commission.*

Who buys here

Both villages are mostly single-detached homes on village lots, and both had older populations in 2021, with median ages of 55 in Warner and 59 in Coutts. Sellers are often long-time owners and retirees, and some homes come up as estate sales.

Buyers tend to be people with a reason to be here: border, trucking and customs workers in Coutts, farm and ranch families around Warner, and buyers who want an affordable small-town home and don't mind the drive to Lethbridge. A school that runs to Grade 12 is a big draw for families in Warner.

Tips for selling in a small village

• Price carefully. With few sales each year, we compare your home with recent sales across the County of Warner, Milk River and Stirling.
• Explain the commute. Buyers working at the border or in Lethbridge want to know the drive time and road conditions. We put that in the listing.
• Fix the small things. In a small market, a home that's clean, repaired and well photographed stands out from the rest.
