Selling your Calgary Home

Sell your Calgary Real Estate 

As the Calgary economy grows real estate gets hot. If you want to sell your Calgary home contact me for professional advice and tools that will ensure a timely sale at a maximized price. 

No obligation Calgary Home Evalutation

Correctly pricing your home for resale is the most the most important aspect of selling real estate. Don’t rely on a desktop analysis where you send in a few details and receive an email back with a price range. You can get started by filling out the Seller’s Details Form but in order to give you an accurate price I need to see your home and evaluate it in person.
 
Once I receive your details I’ll conduct a desktop analysis, then I’ll meet with you in your home so I can see the features and amenities that make your home unique. Nobody can give you accurate advice for selling your property if they don’t see it! This is a no obligation service where you can get to know me, understand how I would market your home and I can provide you with a true value for your property.

How Diane-Richardson.com markets your home

Next to properly pricing your home the most important thing in real estate sales is marketing (arguably the most important aspect of selling anything). My goal is to market your property quickly and effectively to gain you the best price in the shortest time…here’s how I do that:

Full Time Commitment

I’m a REALTOR®. Working with people to fulfill their property purchase and sales needs is what I do full-time, this is how I earn my living and I’m committed to success. If I don’t get results for my clients I don’t eat it’s that simple.

RE/MAX

Why wouldn’t you list your home for sale with the largest real estate company in the world? Consistently outselling every other real estate brokerage in Calgary, RE/MAX is clearly the market leader in this town and RE/MAX Real Estate (Central) has been the number one RE/MAX office in the world since 1999 (based on closed transactions)

Internet Marketing

More than 90% of real estate shoppers look online for their next home purchase. This means the Internet is where your property needs to be in order to get sold!
 
Using all the technology tools available I make sure your property listing is all over the Internet. This includes but isn’t limited to:
 
www.Diane-Richardson.com
www.firsttimebuyerscalgary.com
www.myPadCalgary.com
www.RemaxCentral.ab.ca (website of the #1 RE/MAX office worldwide since 1999)
www.Remax-Western.ca (RE/MAX Western Canada)
www.Remax.com (RE/MAX International)
 
Your listing will also appear on multiple syndicated real estate websites, online classified ad sites (don’t laugh, these work!), online video sites and social media. ie. Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc.
 
Just listing your real estate for sale on MLS is no longer sufficient to get the exposure it needs to get you a sale for top dollar. Online marketing is now the most important way to sell real estate in North America. I have a fulltime Internet marketer working with me to get your property sold.

Photos

Diane-Richardson is committed to the highest quality marketing possible, that means professional photos that show your property in it’s best light to give your listing an important edge over the competition.
 
I’ll work with you to prepare your home for professional photos. I spend my life going through houses and I know what can make the difference between a place looking average and looking exceptional in property photos. This doesn’t mean you have to put in a new kitchen to make your house look good, there are simple techniques that will help make your house more attractive to potential buyers. 

Exceptional Feature Sheets

Nobody can buy what they don’t remember! Home shoppers typically view 4-7 houses per showing tour, after a while it can get hard to remember which ones made the short list. Using high resolution photos, professional printing I will create a Feature Sheet for your home that highlights all the plusses and makes sure prospective buyers don’t forget what your property offers.  

Communication

Getting the word out that your property is for sale in the right places is important but equally critical is your link to me, your REALTOR®. I will stay in touch by whatever means you prefer, you will be made aware of every bit of activity that relates to your sale. 

Listing and Leaving

Are you planning on listing then going on vacation? Do you need to get to your new job on the other side of the country now? Can’t stick around and wait for your house to sell? No problem, I have the tools and technology to make sure you can deal with any offers that might come in while you’re gone or in transit.

Tightened housing supply curbs sales volume

 
First quarter sales improve in condominium market, while declining in single family sector
Calgary,
April 2, 2013

The inventory of active homes for sale in Calgary are the lowest March levels in more than five years.
The decline in new listings hampered resale sales growth, which declined by more
than two per cent in March compared to March 2012.
New listings in March are five per cent lower than levels recorded in 2012, and five per cent lower afternthe first quarter.
The overall active listings stand at just 4,006 units, up from February’s levels but well
below the number available one year ago.
“Less resale product available to consumers is ultimately limiting sales growth,” said CREB® President Becky Walters. “In addition, resale homes are selling in less time and with continued upward pressure on prices.”
Walters said buyers have grown accustomed to a market when they have more time to make decisions
because there was ample supply. But, as market conditions have tightened, if they are serious about purchasing a resale home, they can no longer significantly delay that decision, she said.
“While market conditions are a far cry from activity witnessed throughout the frenzy in 2006 and 2007,there has been a noticeable cha
nge over what became the norm over the past few years.” Walters said.Single family, year over
year sales growth declined by six per cent in March, a reflection of declining supply. Active inventory totaled 2,713 units, 22 per cent lower than levels recorded in 2012, and the
lowest March inventory level recorded since 2007. The market balance continues to trend into seller’s territory in this segment causing a year over year price increase of nearly nine per cent, for a total of $446,500 in March 2013.
“Tighter rental conditions and continued employment growth has supported housing demand growth,”
said Ann Marie Laurie, CREB®’s chief economist. “However, for those looking for more affordable single family home products, their choices continue to narrow.” She said new single family listings under $500,000 are declining at double digit rates, driving consumers at that price point to either surrounding towns, condominiums or the new home market.The condominium townhouse market is the only category to record a year over year rise in sales activity for the month.
This is in part because the level of new listings improved in March 2013 relative to March
2012.
Condominium year over year apartment sales declined by nearly three per cent in March. However, after the first quarter, sales activity totaled 830 units a 6 per cent increase over the previous year.
Condominium townhouse sales totaled 652 units at the end of the first quarter, a 15 per cent
increase over the previous year.
“The condominium apartment market remains in balance,” said Lurie. “While it has moved to the lower end of the spectrum, it remains better supplied then the single family market and the majority of product available is in an affordable price range.”
The benchmark apartment price totaled $257,700 in March, a six per cent increase over the previous year.
Meanwhile, the condominium townhouse benchmark price experienced a year over year increase of 4 per cent, to $286,800.
“Despite tighter market conditions, it is unlikely that we will have another significant run up in prices,” said Lurie. “Outside of easing economic factors expected this year, consumers have options in the total housing market.”
