My answer is Absolutely!!! For those of you who are considering making a purchase, our market offers some incredible deals. We are definitely seeing a buyer’s market out there!
What a change from 2006 when seller’s simply mentioned they were selling and would get multiple offers. I find this very interesting. In a seller’s market, buyers do not hesitate... Monday, November 24, 2008 Good News for Seller's...(kinda)...depends on what price range you are in!Categories:Market Trends,Sellers Whoa - is this a sign of changing times?
Over the past 14 months I have made several comments in my blogs about the infamous list to sell ratios being low. Too low.
The list to sell ratio is a very important figure to watch as it give us an insight to our upcoming markets over the next couple months. A healthy market should be sitting upwards to 60 to 70% historically speaking.
... Monday, November 24, 2008 Consumer Confidence All Time Low....huh? Prove them wrong I say...Talk Positive!Categories:Market Trends,Rants Wow - certainly has been an interesting few weeks in our economy! Interesting to say the least. The media has done a great job in putting the upmost fear into us Canadians with all the economic turmoil stories - this weeks latest catch phrase seems to be "lowest consumer confidence since 1982" or something to that effect.
Well, are you wanting some positive news about our economy? I have some...the... Tuesday, October 28, 2008 Is Calgary's Real Estate Market Stabilizing?Are we seeing signs of our real estate market stabilizing?
This is a very difficult answer to provide with accuracy. I do see signs of our market stabilizing - I also see signs of this trend continuing.
The reason I write to this topic is because of an article in the most recent issue of the Calgary Real Estate News (issue 43 Oct 24, 2008 Pg. A2). The title is "MLS listings down a cross... Monday, August 25, 2008 Are Calgary Home Prices Over-Valued? You tell me...Once Merrel Lynch announced that Western Canada's home prices were over valued we have seen several media reports discussing this topic. My clients and friends often toss this topic of conversation towards me to see what my thoughts are...well here they are :)
Ultimately yes, I do see (specifically Calgary) our home prices as over valued. Why? For a few reasons - most importantly, new home buyers... Monday, August 11, 2008 Current State of Home Prices in Calgary...I was recently asked by Inman News to respond to their 'Question of the Day' for the state of home prices in Calgary - here was my response :)
As expected with a sudden surge in home prices as we saw in Calgary through 2006 and the first quarter of 2007 we are now seeing a correction - which is bringing prices down. Some home owners and potential purchasers have been concerned about how... Friday, April 18, 2008 AAAK....Why is my home STILL on the market???
Interesting fact about our current real estate market here in Calgary. Being a Realtor, obviously I watch what is going on very closely. 60% of home sales for the month of March were under $450,000 so ignore the ‘average’ selling price of $474,000!!! Just over 40% of the homes sold in March were under $400,000 - they key price mark. For all the homes I have currently listed for sale, the only properties...

Monday, October 1, 2007 A Sour 4th Quarter Outlook for Calgary Real Estate Home Seller'sYes, as usual I have long spreads between posts. Finally, I have come to the conclusion that I am just a busy guy and writing is a difficult task for me to complete.
Today I updated the Calgary Real Estate Board Statistics packages dating back a couple of months - again, like the blog - time was a major factor. My apologies to those who were unable to find what they were looking for.
Friday, April 20, 2007 Calgary Real Estate - First quarter of 2007
The first quarter of 2007 has ended with a predicted "average" market. Thankfully, a large number of new mls listings has kept prices in check (somewhat). I say somewhat because some pockets of your market did see some significant jumps - mainly in the $300 to $400K range. March did bring a record number of MLS sales ever - this was kept in check with a record breaking number of MLS listings! Good thing... |
