City of Calgary, March 1, 2021 –

With gains in every price range, residential sales activity in February totalled 1,836.

This reflects the best February since 2014.

“Despite continued COVID-19 restrictions, housing activity continues to improve. Much of the strong sales activity is expected to be driven by exceptionally low mortgage rates,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

“Confidence is also likely improving as vaccine rollouts are underway. Additionally, some of the worst fears concerning the energy sector are easing with recent gains in energy prices.”

New listings also improved in February, but the gap between new listings and sales narrowed. This is causing the sales-to-new-listings ratio to rise to 65 per cent, keeping the…

Staging is all about dressing up your home so that it looks its best to buyers.
This can involve anything from rearranging furniture and doing some home
improvements, to painting and redecorating, to even replacing existing
furnishings and other items. The goal is to make key rooms look worthy of a
magazine cover!
But is it worth the effort? Can’t you just clean and tidy and, perhaps, do a little
painting?
Sometimes you can — especially if your home is in high demand and likely to
get multiple offers.
However, in most cases, staging can help sell your property faster and for a
higher price.
In fact, studies done by the home staging industry consistently reveal that
staged homes sell for an average of 5-23% above list price. (That varies, of
course, depending on…

Your front walkway is one of the first sections of real estate a buyer will set
foot on when coming to see your home. So, it makes sense to make that
pathway to your front door as appealing as possible.
The obvious way is to make it as clean and clear as you can. Ensure there
are no obstacles in the way, such as overhanging branches, kid's toys, or
potted plants. What you want is a clear, unobstructed and pleasant walk to
your main entranceway.
If your walkway needs a deeper cleaning, consider a power wash. There are
special detergents available that are designed specifically for stone, asphalt
or cement walkways and other outdoor surfaces.
A deep cleaning isn't a major project. In most cases, the job can be done
within an hour. Yet, the result can be stunning.

When you’re shopping for a home, you may become interested in a property for sale that someone else is also considering. In fact, there may be several
other buyers entertaining the idea of making an offer.
In such a competitive situation, what should you do if you really love that
home?


Obviously, you’ll need to move quickly and make some fast decisions.
Start by making certain the property fits within your price range. The last thing
you want is to have an offer accepted and find out it is beyond your budget.
That’s why it’s a good idea to arrange for financing before you go home
shopping.


Next, you want to make an offer that is so enticing to the sellers that they’ll put your offer at the top of the pile, if not close to it. So, what makes…

City of Calgary, February 1, 2021 –

January sales were the highest they have been for the month since 2014, as housing market momentum from the end of 2020 carried over into the start of 2021.

Sales activity improved across all product types and across all price ranges.

“Discount lending rates are exceptionally low, which is likely attracting all types of buyers back into the market,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

“New listings in the market were also slightly higher than what was available over the past two months, which is providing more options to purchasers.”

January’s new listings were 2,246 relative to the 1,208 sales in the market, causing inventories to edge up over December levels. These types of movements are typical…
