How Much Is Your Home Worth?
The value of your home has changed- What is the current market value of your home?
Selling a Home in the Calgary Real Estate Market
Selling a home in the Calgary market is a balancing act. It is the perfect amount of exposure, presentation, and expertise that goes into the successful marketing of your home. A home can be successfully sold in any market, at any time of the year if it is correctly exposed to the market. We have a proven marketing plan to get your home sold!
The price is right
A home that is correctly priced will appeal to buyers - careful a home that is overpriced will sit on the market and help the competition sell.
We will provide you with a thorough evaluation of your home that takes into account similar homes in the area which have recently sold, current listings and give you an idea of real-time market rates and values. The goal is to make sure you get top dollar for your home’s value in the shortest amount of time without sacrificing our high level of service.
When should you sell?
Most houses traditionally go on the market in spring. The sun is shining, flowers are in bloom and your lawn looks fresh and green but spring is not the only good time to sell your home! Typically, people assume the colder months are the worst time to sell, but it comes down to you and your home.
If you were to put your home up for sale in the fall/ or winter months, it would be marketed amid a smaller amount of real estate inventory versus if you were selling in a sunnier season. This means buyers have fewer properties to choose from and your home will stand out more. The result is a higher demand for your home at an increased selling price. You may face a smaller pool of potential buyers; however, off-season buyers tend to be a little more determined.
If you are curious as to when to sell your home, we can help. During our appointment, we will review community statistics reflective of your price range and property type to help determine market trends that will best enable us to position your home in the marketplace effectively and positively.
