Selling a dolls house in St Catharines
St Catharines is the largest city in the wine region and sits on the canal that carries shipping around the falls, with a university and a long fruit-growing tradition behind it. The climate here is milder than the rest of the province, which is why the vineyards work at all.
The university clears student housing each spring, and the seasonal agricultural workforce arrives and leaves with the harvest. Tourism-driven short-term rentals add a third stream of household goods being replaced.
Driving is the norm and parking is easy across the city. The canal crossings are the one thing that can add time to a short trip, so agree which side you are meeting on.
St Catharines, in Ontario, has around 140,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Toronto, Ottawa and Brampton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in St Catharines

What lifts the price

- Missing furniture on houses sold as furnished
- Very large houses that are hard to transport
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph every room and the exterior
- Measure it and be honest about how it travels
