L|S Listings, Open Houses & Recent Sales in St. John's, NL

Our Listings: How Can I See the Homes the L|S Team Has for Sale?

Our listings are the homes that sellers have chosen to list with the L|S team at Keller Williams Platinum Realty in St. John's and the surrounding communities. Listings are held by the brokerage, Keller Williams Platinum Realty, and are marketed on the MLS® System. Homes come on and off the market every day, so rather than keep a list on this page that could go out of date, here is where to find them:

• By email. Sign up for listing alerts and we can set up email alerts so you hear about new MLS® listings that match your search as soon as they're posted.
• On REALTOR.ca. Homes the L|S team lists on the MLS® System are generally displayed on REALTOR.ca, alongside other MLS® listings across Newfoundland and Labrador.
• By phone or email. Call (709) 771-4448 or email info@lsre.ca and we'll tell you which L|S team listings are currently on the MLS® System.

You can also follow L|S Real Estate Group on Facebook and Instagram for news from the team.

Thinking of selling? When you list with the L|S team at Keller Williams Platinum Realty, we help with pricing strategy, marketing and negotiation, from guidance on staging and presentation to listing your home on the MLS® System and marketing it to qualified buyers.

Open Houses: How Do I Find Open Houses in St. John's?

An open house lets you walk through a home for sale without booking an appointment. Here is how to find open houses in St. John's, Mount Pearl, Paradise and the surrounding communities:

• Check the listing on REALTOR.ca. When an open house is scheduled, the date and time usually appear on the MLS® listing.
• Ask us. Call (709) 771-4448 or email info@lsre.ca with the address or MLS® number and we'll check whether an open house is scheduled.
• Get listing alerts. Tell us what you're looking for and we can email you new MLS® listings that match, so you can plan which homes to see.

No open house scheduled? You don't have to wait for one. Your REALTOR® can arrange a private showing of most MLS® listings at a time agreed with the seller, and L|S Real Estate Group offers virtual viewings for buyers relocating to Newfoundland and Labrador from outside the province.

What should I look for at an open house?

• Heating and running costs. Ask how the home is heated and what it typically costs to heat through a Newfoundland winter.
• Age of big-ticket items. The roof, windows, heating system and hot water tank are costly to replace.
• Signs of moisture. Look for water stains, peeling paint, musty smells in the basement and condensation on windows.
• Water and sewer. Ask whether the home is on municipal water and sewer or a private well and septic system, which some rural areas around St. John's use.
• Apartments. If there is a basement apartment, ask whether it is rented and on what terms.
• The neighbourhood. Drive by at different times of day and time your commute to work and school.

An open house is a first look, not a substitute for a professional home inspection, which many buyers make a condition of their offer. Our guide to buying a home in St. John's walks through the full process.

Recent Sales: How Can I Find Recent Sold Prices in St. John's?

Sold prices show what buyers actually paid, which makes them a useful check on asking prices. Public listing sites such as REALTOR.ca focus on homes currently for sale, and this page doesn't list sold prices. A local REALTOR® can share recent comparable sales for a street, neighbourhood or type of home: just ask.

L|S Real Estate Group has helped more than 140 clients through to closing and has earned 70+ five-star Google reviews. Here is how we can help:

• Buying? Send us the address or MLS® number of a home you like and we can pull recent comparable sales to help you judge the asking price before you make an offer.
• Selling, or curious about your home's value? Request a no-obligation home valuation: a comparative market analysis (CMA) prepared by a local REALTOR® from recent comparable sales, active and expired listings, and your home's condition and upgrades. A CMA is not an appraisal, and lenders don't accept it for refinancing; your lender orders an appraisal.
• Settling an estate? Executors can ask for recent comparable sales to help understand what an estate property might sell for. Co-founder Natasha Sutherland is a Certified Executor Advisor (CEA). Learn about selling an estate property; your estate lawyer can advise on the legal steps.

For a quick sense of the market first, our St. John's Area guides include snapshots of current asking prices in each community. Asking prices are not sold prices, so treat them as context rather than a valuation.

How do I get new St. John's listings by email?

Tell us what you're looking for and the L|S agent assigned to you will set up an email listing alert, so you hear about new MLS® listings that match your search as soon as they're posted. We'll follow up to fine-tune the search by area, budget and must-haves. You can unsubscribe at any time, or ask us to change or stop your alert.
