The addresses of homes that just went up for sale near you come from PreMovers.ca as a pre-mover mailing list: pick a radius around your postal code or the postal areas you work in, see the count, and download the list. Updated every week, from $150 per 1,000 homes.
The short version
Put in your postal code and a distance, 5 km or 25 km, and the list is every home inside it that came on the market in the dates you choose. Each record is an address you can mail, checked against Canada Post, with the week the home listed.
Renovation work around a sale comes in two bursts. The seller has repairs, paint and flooring to do before showings, and the buyer has the bigger projects after possession. A renovator who mails the home when it lists is in front of the seller for the first burst and, if the piece is kept, in front of the new owner for the second.
Radius or postal areas. A radius around your own postal code suits a sole trader; postal areas suit a company with a service map. Both are measured on the postal code, so the count is honest about what is inside the line.
New listings, newest first. If you want fewer homes than the count, take the newest. Pre-sale work is booked in the first days of a listing.
Use the home details. A Plus list carries the asking price, bedrooms, bathrooms, floor size and type of home exactly as listed. A kitchen company can skip condos under 700 square feet; a painter can take everything.
Follow the home off the market. The off-market list for the same radius is the buyer-side burst: flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, basements in the first months after possession.
One record per home with the street address, unit, city, province and postal code. With Plus: the date it came on the market, the date it came off if it has, its status, and the home details as listed. No names, phone numbers or emails.
Standard lists are $150 per 1,000 homes, Plus lists with the home details are $250 per 1,000, and the minimum order is $75 (500 homes). One mailing per list, delivered as a CSV.
Mailable homes by province and city, updated every week. Tell us the areas you serve and we send the count and a sample file the same day.
Lists by city and province Get a count →Yes. Enter your postal code and choose the distance; the list is every mailable home inside it that came on the market in the dates you pick. Distances are measured in a straight line from the centre of the postal code.
A Plus list does: house, row or townhouse, apartment, duplex or mobile home, with bedrooms, bathrooms, floor size and the asking price, all exactly as the listing gave them. Homes where a detail is missing are shown as missing, never filled in.
From PreMovers.ca. Pick a province, city, postal area or a radius around your own postal code, see the count, and the list comes as a CSV ready for your printer or Canada Post. Standard lists are $150 per 1,000 homes, Plus lists with the home details are $250 per 1,000, and the minimum order is $75 (500 homes). Online ordering is coming; until it opens, send us your areas and we return the count and a sample file.
Updated every week. A home that goes up for sale this week is in next week's list, with the week it came on the market shown on every record.
The lists carry addresses only, no names, phone numbers or emails, so there is no personal information in them. Mailers address the piece to "The Homeowner" or "Current Resident". Canada's anti-spam law covers email and text messages, not paper mail. Your mail piece itself has to follow the ordinary advertising rules, as any flyer does.
