What Can You Expect from 2014?

The New Year is here and you may be wondering what 2014 has in store for the real estate market. Let's first take a look at 2013. The Calgary market ended the year with 22,500 sales and we saw a 5.83% increase in sale prices. Why is that? Because there is less than three months of inventory. This puts increased pressure on prices.

This is important to keep in mind whether you're a buyer or a seller. Buyers need to buy now before prices increase too high. Sellers also need to beware because now is the time to sell. The highest volume of sales occur during January - April.

If you have any questions about the real estate market or know of a friend, coworker or neighbor who is looking to buy or sell, please give me a call today!

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!
