Should You Sell During the Holidays?

Thank you for visiting my blog! During this time of year many people want to know what's going on in the market; is now a good time to buy or sell? The answer is absolutely.

If you're thinking about selling, now is a good time because there is less competition. Inventory is down 18% and that means you don't have to compete with the dozens of other homes put on the market in the spring. Plus, buyers are serious. If someone is taking the time out of their busy holiday plans, you know they are serious about finding a home.

It's also a great time for buyers because they have less competition as well. Fewer people are looking for homes which makes it easier to make an offer on the home you want.

I wanted to thank you for making 2013 great. I appreciate your business, your referrals and even just using me as your real estate resource. I love talking about real estate, so if you ever just have a questions, please don't hesitate to call! Happy holidays!

Welcome to My Video Real Estate Blog

Welcome to my video blog. It’s important to me to be your real estate resource. Every couple weeks I’m going to send you relevant information on the real estate market and tips on how to buy and sell.

The market has been phenomenal throughout the past year and we can only expect a stronger market in 2014. Net migration is expected to increase causing an effect on home prices and rental rates.

If you have any questions about what’s going on in the real estate market or if you are ready to buy or sell, please give me a call or send me an email. I’d love to help you with all of your real estate needs.

Referrals happen in the real estate field every day. Because of my extensive connections, I can introduce you, a friend or a family member to top agents throughout the country. I will work with these agents to develop the best home-buying strategy for you. This week I am in San Diego for the Mike Ferry One-On-One Retreat, connecting with the top agents in the world. There are agents from Canada, Australia, Italy and England meeting to discuss different marketing strategies and how we can better our selves and our service.

My promise? To get my sellers’ homes sold for the most amount of money in the least amount of time.

Because the real estate market is always evolving, you need to work with real estate agents who are willing to continually educate themselves about the marketplace. That’s what I do, and I recommend only real estate agents who do the same.

So if you or someone you know has a real estate need anywhere in the country, call me at (403) 660-6200. Or, send me an email at james.murphy@shaw.ca. I will be happy to work with you!
