Victoria Day isn’t just for fireworks and patio season—it's also one of the best-kept secrets in Canadian real estate. With warm weather returning and people enjoying a long weekend, buyers are out in full force. That means opportunity knocks loudest for home sellers willing to open their doors.

This unofficial kickoff to summer marks a psychological shift: families are looking to settle before school starts, and buyers are motivated to make offers before competition ramps up. It’s the perfect storm for sellers to create buzz—and close fast.

Hosting an open house over Victoria Day weekend lets your home shine. Curb appeal gets a natural boost from blooming gardens and sunny skies. With more foot traffic and casual browsers turning serious, you could generate multiple offers by week’s end.

Add subtle Canadian touches—like red and white planters or a mini flag display—to connect emotionally with buyers celebrating the holiday. And don’t forget: fewer competing listings during the holiday weekend can give your home a standout advantage.

So if you're thinking of selling, Victoria Day weekend might just be your golden ticket to a quick, top-dollar sale.

Wishing everyone a Happy Victoria Day!
