Planning your sale starts with separating the work before listing from the steps that follow. I'll help you build a workable sequence without treating a reported market statistic as a deadline for your move.
In Oshawa's September 2026 report, median days recorded in the reporting platform were 23. Average days on market stood at 33. Transaction volume was 127. These figures cover all property types and architectural styles, not just homes matching yours.
The report's timing figures are not a closing timetable and should not become your promised moving date. I suggest planning preparation, marketing and closing separately, with room for uncertainty between those stages. That approach keeps the launch decision focused on readiness rather than forcing every task around a townwide figure.
List the repairs, cleaning and photographs needed before launch, then confirm who will complete each task. Set practical times the home can be shown, accounting for notice requirements and your schedule. Review recent sales of similar homes with me for pricing context, and confirm closing requirements with the professionals handling the transaction.
