Property type matters
| Property type | Sales | Average price | Median price | Average listing days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | 9 | $721,833 | $730,000 | 25 |
| Semi-detached | 2 | $580,000 | $580,000 | 66 |
| Attached/row/townhouse | 1 | $582,990 | $582,990 | 122 |
September’s sales included nine detached homes, two semi-detached homes and one attached/row/townhouse. No condo sales were reported; price and pace fields for unsold categories are blank rather than zero prices. The 77 active listings included 59 detached, seven semi-detached, seven attached/row/townhouse, two condo townhouses and two condo apartments.
What sale-to-list price and listing days mean
The average sale-to-list price ratio compares average selling and listing prices for reported firm transactions. It is not the ratio to original asking price or the percentage of homes sold below list. Average listing days on market describes sold listings; it excludes preparation and negotiated closing and is not a deadline for your home.
September is already included in year-to-date figures. Active listings are a month-end snapshot. Neither changing averages nor small samples establish a uniform change in each home’s value.

Who might consider your Shelburne home?
Commuters, local move-up buyers, first-time buyers and downsizers may consider a Shelburne home. These are possible audiences to discuss, not measured shares or fixed ages, origins or budgets. Explain the property that is actually for sale.
Commuters considering a move
Explain the route to their actual workplace and typical services nearby. Buyers should check travel at their own commuting times; do not promise a fixed journey.
Dufferin County move-up buyers
Describe the home’s space, layout, parking and services accurately. Compare relevant alternatives rather than assuming all local buyers want a larger home.
Downsizers and later-life movers
Explain stairs, maintenance, ownership costs, accessibility and proximity to services. A quieter setting or lower upkeep will depend on the specific property.
First-time buyers and buyers comparing communities
Provide clear price evidence, ownership costs and property details. Affordability and financing limits vary by household; no single age, location or budget defines Shelburne buyers.
The Town provides municipal water and sewer services; verify the actual connections at the address. For schools, use the Upper Grand District School Board’s directory and school locator to confirm assignment, programs and transportation. Nearby schools, routes and amenities do not establish eligibility, a fixed commute time or a price premium.
Review relevant sold properties
Use available sold-listing information to prepare a discussion about comparable properties and your asking position.
See the Flaherty marketing plan
The Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showing is the core of Kevin’s marketing plan. The system sells homes 52% faster. It combines narration and online presentation to explain a home before buyers decide to visit. Individual results vary; marketing does not financially qualify buyers, guarantee offers or replace due diligence.
How to Get Top Dollar For Your Shelburne House
A backstage look at photography, narration, online showings and the seller marketing plan.
Confirm the actual services, inclusions, charges, launch timing and reporting arrangements in your written brokerage agreement. Review the full Flaherty marketing plan.
The six phases of a Shelburne home sale
Use these six phases as a planning framework. Preparation, offer conditions and closing depend on your property, circumstances and agreement.
Decision and evaluation
Review relevant sales and current competition with Kevin. Identify your timing, mortgage obligations, preparation budget and next-home plans. Discuss the scope of representation and obtain the RECO Information Guide before signing.
Preparation and documentation
Choose necessary repairs and presentation work based on condition, professional advice and available time. Gather permits, service records, available surveys and any relevant inspection reports. Confirm fees and marketing inclusions in writing.
Launch and marketing
Prepare photography, plans, narration and the Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showing. Agree the launch, showing access and buyer-outreach plan, including MLS exposure and 57+ site syndication where included in the written service package.
Offers and negotiation
Compare price, deposit, conditions, financing evidence, inclusions and closing terms. Discuss any offer-review date or pre-emptive offer instructions. Marketing presentation does not financially qualify a buyer or guarantee competing offers.
Conditional period
Follow the actual purchase agreement’s conditions and deadlines. Buyers may arrange financing and inspections. Provide agreed access and documents. A pre-listing report does not prevent a buyer from requesting their own investigation.
Closing and moving
Coordinate with your lawyer and lender on mortgage payout, adjustments and transfer of funds. Confirm vacant possession, agreed inclusions, keys and move-out obligations. Align the sale and any purchase using the actual closing dates.
Before committing to services, review the RECO Information Guide and your proposed agreement.
Which property records and disclosures apply?
Confirm which issues actually apply to the address. Do not assume that every Shelburne property needs rural-system inspections or that an inspection removes disclosure duties or buyer conditions.
| Issue | What to review |
|---|---|
| Septic, if applicable | Confirm the actual servicing. Gather permits, pumping and maintenance records; choose an inspection based on condition and professional advice. A pumping receipt is not full-system certification, and a pre-listing inspection does not remove buyer conditions. |
| Private well, if applicable | Public Health Ontario tests E. coli and total coliforms, not chemical safety or well quantity. Follow sampling directions and obtain appropriate advice on chemicals, treatment and capacity records. Testing requirements depend on the property, buyer and lender. |
| Wood-burning appliances | Obtain a written inspection report from a WETT-certified professional. Confirm the inspection level and timing required by the insurer. WETT certifies people; the document is an inspection report, not an appliance certificate. |
| Survey, title and boundaries | Give available surveys and change records to your lawyer. Survey suitability and title-insurance coverage need property-specific advice; title insurance is not automatically a substitute for a survey. Maps and drone outlines do not establish legal boundaries or access rights. |
| Planning and permissions | Confirm requirements with the Town of Shelburne and relevant authorities before work or development. Use Conservation Ontario’s finder to identify whom to contact; do not assume an authority based on a nearby stream or another town. |
| Fuel tanks, equipment and rentals | Identify tank ownership, service/decommissioning records and any known concerns. Obtain professional environmental advice when relevant. Record fixtures, equipment, rentals, inclusions and exclusions in the purchase agreement. |
Check property requirements with the relevant authority
Public Health Ontario’s well-water testing concerns bacterial indicators, not chemical safety or water quantity. For wood-burning appliances, review WETT’s inspection-report guidance and confirm your insurer’s requirements.
Before changes to land, buildings, drainage or use, contact the Town of Shelburne and relevant authorities. Use Conservation Ontario’s authority finder to identify whom to contact, then confirm jurisdiction for the property.
Discuss known defects and disclosure with your lawyer and brokerage. See RECO’s disclosure guidance. Property information statements are not automatically required; if considered, review their completion and intended use with your advisers.
Price the property, not a list of assumed premiums
Start with recent relevant sales and current alternatives, then compare the home’s condition, land, services, improvements and location. An average, a neighbour’s past result or a fixed dollar adjustment cannot price your property.
Discuss the asking position and review triggers with Kevin. Pricing below a previous sale does not guarantee competition, urgency or offers over asking.
| Property detail | Decision checkpoint |
|---|---|
| Lot size and use | Verify dimensions, permitted uses, easements and maintenance. More land does not produce a fixed premium. |
| Municipal or private services | Confirm the property’s actual connections, available records, condition and future obligations. Do not apply a universal dollar adjustment. |
| Highway and road access | Discuss the buyer’s route, traffic, winter access and road exposure. Proximity can have both benefits and trade-offs. |
| School assignment | Use the school board’s address-specific locator and confirm programs and transportation. Nearby schools do not guarantee eligibility. |
| Garage and parking | Compare usable spaces, dimensions, condition, access and permitted use; avoid a fixed garage premium. |
| Basement and finished space | Verify measurements, permits, ceiling height, condition and any claims about additional dwelling units. |
| Age, condition and updates | Compare the actual building, maintenance and renovations. Age alone does not establish a price adjustment. |
| Open space, privacy and views | Confirm ownership, access and planning status. A present view does not guarantee that neighbouring land will remain unchanged. |
Request a free property-specific home evaluation. For lending, estate, tax or legal purposes, confirm whether the intended recipient requires a purpose-specific appraisal.
Build a clear selling-cost and proceeds plan
Brokerage remuneration is negotiable. Build your budget from the written fee, HST, tax-inclusive quotes, the lender’s payout statement, preparation and moving costs, and the lawyer’s net adjustments.
The figures below use a hypothetical $800,000 sale, not Shelburne’s current average or a provider quote. The illustrative 5% fee is an arithmetic assumption, not a standard rate.
| Item | What to confirm | Illustrative example |
|---|---|---|
| Realtor Commission | Negotiated rate or fee in your agreement; no standard rate is assumed. | $40,000 at an illustrative 5% on $800,000 |
| HST on commission | Ontario’s 13% HST on the commission; separate from any tax on the property sale. | $5,200 |
| Legal fees and disbursements | Obtain a tax-inclusive quote; identify what is excluded. | $2,000 planning allowance |
| Private-system or other professional reports | Use actual quotes only where needed. | $0 in this example |
| Repairs, staging, moving and other costs | Use a combined amount without counting any item twice. | $3,000 planning allowance |
| Mortgage payout and lender charges | Use the lender’s payout statement; separate balance, penalty and discharge charges. | $350,000 balance; $0 extra charges assumed |
| Closing adjustments | Enter the lawyer’s estimated net credit or charge separately. | $0 assumed |
With a $350,000 mortgage balance, $40,000 commission, $5,200 commission HST, $2,000 legal allowance and $3,000 combined other costs, the example leaves $399,800. It assumes no extra lender charges or net closing adjustments. Your figures will differ.
Ontario’s HST guidance lists 13% on real estate commissions. Other property-related tax questions require appropriate tax advice.
Seven selling mistakes to avoid
Using an old sale as today’s valuation
Compare recent relevant sales and current alternatives. A neighbour’s earlier result is context, not a current valuation of your home.
Treating MLS exposure as the entire plan
Ask how photography, narration, plans, online showings, outreach and follow-up fit together. Confirm the actual services and charges in writing.
Assuming records remove all buyer questions
Gather useful documents and identify their limits. Inspections do not eliminate conditions, disclosure duties or the possibility of further investigation.
Spending on presentation without a decision
Prioritize necessary safety/access work and economical maintenance. Discuss optional repairs against actual condition, quotes, timing and competing properties; do not assume a return.
Comparing commission without the full service and cost picture
Brokerage remuneration is negotiable. Compare the written service scope, commission HST and other charges. No commission rate establishes the sale price another brokerage would achieve.
Promising a commute or a buyer profile
Describe verified routes and property features. Let buyers test the commute and confirm schools and services for their circumstances, rather than predicting who will buy.
Waiting for a market prediction to make the decision
Weigh your timing, carrying costs, readiness and relevant competition. Agree review dates and triggers; neither waiting nor launching guarantees a particular price or timeline.
Shelburne net proceeds calculator
Change these hypothetical starting figures to your own plan. The calculator adds 13% HST to the commission, subtracts the entered costs and mortgage charges, and adds your signed net closing adjustment. Use tax-inclusive amounts for other fees and avoid entering the same charge twice.
Compare the result with your next-home and moving plan, then review the assumptions with Kevin.

Ten questions to ask before hiring a Realtor
Use these questions to discuss services, communication and the proposed agreement before selecting representation.
What clients say about Kevin and the team
These client comments relate to Dufferin County experiences; they are not a promise of your Shelburne result.
Kevin's experience and marketing team sold my home over asking price in one day. The house was sold before it even went on MLS. We did not have to go through open houses or multiple viewings. The professional videos his team produces are amazing.
The property was listed and sold with second viewing within two days at more than the asking price. The closing dates of this place and the new purchase matched perfectly. Kevin and his team were the epitome of skill and efficiency.
I couldn't believe how fast my home sold at a time when other homes were sitting on the market. Kevin got mine sold quickly and at a price that was top dollar and even more than I expected. His video narrated VR animated online showing gave my home amazing exposure and reduced unnecessary showings. Kevin was a pleasure to deal with. He was always patient and kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend his innovative approach.

Shelburne real estate questions, answered
How do I choose a Realtor in Shelburne?
Compare relevant pricing evidence, the written marketing services, communication, representation terms and total costs. Kevin Flaherty brings 30+ years of real estate experience, $500M+ sold and Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showings. The system sells homes 52% faster; individual results vary and no price or timeline is guaranteed.
What is the current average house price in Shelburne?
TRREB reported a September 2026 average of $686,624 and median of $705,750 across 12 Shelburne sales. January–September recorded 95 sales, a $643,271 average and $633,000 median. These all-home-type figures are context, not a valuation of one home.
How long does it take to sell a house in Shelburne?
September’s sold listings averaged 40 listing days on market; January–September averaged 44. These measures exclude preparation and negotiated closing. They do not predict how long an unsold property will take. The Flaherty marketing system’s 52% faster claim is not a deadline for your home.
What are the costs of selling a house in Shelburne?
Use your negotiated brokerage fee, 13% Ontario HST on that fee, tax-inclusive legal quotes, any lender charges, preparation and moving costs, and closing adjustments. In the clearly hypothetical $800,000 example on this page, costs before the $350,000 mortgage balance total $50,200, leaving $399,800 with no extra lender charges or adjustments assumed. Your costs will differ.
Do Shelburne homes need a septic inspection before selling?
The Town operates municipal water and sewer systems; verify the actual services at your address. For private septic, gather available permits and maintenance records and discuss appropriate investigation with the relevant professional. A pre-listing report does not certify the full system or prevent a buyer from requesting an inspection condition.
Who might buy a house in Shelburne?
Potential buyers can include commuters, local move-up buyers, first-time buyers and downsizers. The supplied market reports do not measure buyer ages, origins or motivations. Explain the specific home, costs, services and routes rather than assuming one primary buyer profile.
What is the sale-to-list price ratio in Shelburne?
September 2026 recorded a 98% average sale-to-list price ratio; January–September recorded 97%. TRREB defines this using average selling and listing prices for firm transactions. It is not the ratio to original asking price or a measure of what Kevin or any individual seller will achieve.
Is now a good time to sell a Shelburne home?
Consider your timing, carrying costs, readiness and the actual properties competing with yours. September ended with 77 active listings and recorded 12 sales. Those separate inventory and activity measures do not, alone, establish a formal market classification or guarantee demand for one home.
What is the Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showing?
It is Kevin’s narrated, animated online presentation of a home and its features, allowing buyers to explore before visiting. Video Narrated VR Animated Online Showings sell homes 52% faster. Confirm package inclusions and charges in the written brokerage agreement. Presentation does not establish financial qualification or guarantee an individual outcome.
How do I get a free home evaluation in Shelburne?
Request a free, no-obligation evaluation from Kevin. Discuss the property’s condition, land, services, improvements, relevant sales and current competition. A selling-price opinion differs from a purpose-specific appraisal; ask the intended lender or other recipient what they require.
What selling mistakes should I avoid?
Avoid relying on an old sale as today’s valuation, treating MLS as the entire marketing plan, assuming records remove buyer questions, spending without a decision, comparing commission without services and taxes, promising a commute or buyer profile, and relying on market predictions rather than a practical plan.
How should I check schools for a Shelburne property?
The Upper Grand District School Board directory includes Centre Dufferin District High School and local elementary schools including Hyland Heights, Glenbrook and Centennial Hylands. Check the board’s address-specific school locator for eligibility, programs and transportation; proximity does not guarantee assignment or school quality.
How does Highway 10 access affect a sale?
Highway 10 is relevant to some buyers’ routes. Describe actual access and road exposure, and let buyers test travel at their own times. The supplied market reports do not measure a highway-access premium or prove that nearby homes sell faster.
How does selling in Shelburne compare with Orangeville?
September 2026 all-home-type figures were $686,624 average and $705,750 median across 12 Shelburne sales, versus $746,322 average and $740,000 median across 33 Orangeville sales. Different property mixes and local samples limit direct comparison. Compare relevant homes rather than inferring buyer migration or a uniform premium.
Do I need a survey when selling a Shelburne home?
Provide available surveys and details of changes to your lawyer. Whether a new survey is needed, whether an older survey is useful and what title insurance covers are property-specific questions. Do not assume a fixed age limit or that title insurance substitutes for verified boundaries.
What is the best season to sell in Shelburne?
Choose timing around readiness, your next move, carrying costs and relevant competition. The supplied September snapshot does not establish a seasonal ranking. Review appropriate historical local evidence with Kevin before relying on a claim that one season produces better results.
How much is Realtor commission in Shelburne?
Brokerage remuneration is negotiable and set out in your written agreement; there is no fixed standard rate. This page uses 5% on a hypothetical $800,000 sale only to show the calculation: $40,000 commission plus $5,200 HST. Confirm the actual fee, services and other charges.
What if my Shelburne home does not sell?
Review price, condition, documentation, access, presentation, enquiries, showings, offers and current alternatives together. Agree review dates and evidence-based triggers with Kevin. Do not assume one cause or that changing marketing prevents a price reduction.
Can I sell before buying my next home?
Yes, but selling first and buying first carry different timing, financing and accommodation risks. Review your lender’s requirements, the actual closing dates and any interim arrangements with Kevin and your advisers. Neither sequence eliminates all risk.
How do I check a Realtor’s registration?
Kevin Flaherty is a real estate broker with eXp Realty. Before selecting representation, use RECO’s public agent and brokerage search to confirm current registration and review the RECO Information Guide and proposed service agreement.
What is the Flaherty VIP Buyer Program?
The program offers a way to request priority listing information for your next purchase. Ask Kevin about current coverage, listing permissions and availability; do not assume every property can be supplied before MLS or that registration guarantees finding a home sooner.
How do I contact Kevin about a Shelburne sale?
Call or text 226-270-6433, request a free home evaluation, book a phone call through Kevin’s calendar, or arrange a Zoom conversation. Prepare your address, timing, mortgage obligations and any known property questions for the discussion.
Check school assignments with the Upper Grand District School Board. Review representation and registration information through RECO.
