The Hidden Costs of Selling a Home (Before You List in 2026)

Описание: Thinking about selling your home in 2026? Before you list, there are hidden costs most homeowners don’t see coming — and they can seriously impact your bottom line if you’re not prepared.

In this video, we break down the real costs of selling a home before it ever hits the market. From repairs, paint, staging, and storage, to legal fees, mortgage penalties, inspections, and moving costs, this is everything sellers need to know before making a move.

Many homeowners focus only on commission and forget about the pre-listing expenses that quietly add up to thousands of dollars. This video helps you avoid surprises, budget properly, and make smart decisions that protect your equity.

In this video, you’ll learn:

✔ The hidden costs of selling a house most sellers overlook
✔ Pre-listing expenses that can reduce your net proceeds
✔ How staging, repairs, and marketing really affect your sale price
✔ Legal fees, mortgage penalties, and closing costs explained
✔ Why skipping preparation can actually cost you more
✔ How to prepare your home strategically for a 2026 sale

If you’re planning to sell a house in Ottawa or anywhere in Ontario in 2026, this video will help you understand what it really costs to sell and how to avoid leaving money on the table.
