The main difference between how the city assesses properties and how realtor's do is the time period in which an assessment of your home is done. For instance when Realtors do a market evaluation of your home to determine current market value they use the most recent market stats and information from current Sold and Active listings. City assessments are done annually which means your assessment stays the same the entire year, while the market constantly changes. In order to determine current market value to find out what your home is really worth
Over the past 2 years, many people have been left wondering why their home has not been selling even though the city assessment of their home was for $450,000 and they surprisingly can not even get $400,000 for their home.
Mind you the spread between the current market value that people are getting for their homes and their assessed values is shrinking . While the city is re-analyzing their annual "snapshot" property assessments and giving people a more in-tune assessment which in fact is a gradual correction from their higher year over year estimates of the past few years.

As Calgary's real estate market continues to see prices rebound!
Hello friends and followers, do I have some news for you!
First off, I'd like thank my clients that have given me the opportunity to help them buy and sell these past few months and I'm sure they are happy with the great deals they got on their homes. Thank you for allowing me to provide you my real estate expertise and the opportunity to serve you, your friends and families in the future.
Now, I also must note that the market has never been this busy leading up to Christmas and the New Year. Thanks to a combination of positive factors over the past few months, the Calgary real estate market has seen lots of activity in a time where the seasonal slow down occurs as people prepare for the holiday season. In fact, I've experienced 3 multiple offer situations in the past 2 weeks, which shows that the market is still hot for the homes out there. In fact, there are some signs reminiscent to the start of the Calgary boom (lower inventory + lots of buyers + multiple offers 2004/2005)
The listing inventory continues to decline, which is great news for sellers! The fewer listings for buyers means more potential buyers for the current homes on the market and possibly the chance of competitive offers if the sellers priced correctly (Find out more Seller Tips here). Buyers, not to worry! There are still great deals out there, but you have to be very quick to react because the best deals sell the fastest (most in less than 1 week on the market)!
Just last weekend I went to see a home that just came out on the market the same day. I wrote an offer that afternoon. I submitted the offer an hour an later and by that time there were already 4 offers on the same place, and 3 more expected to come in before negotiations would take place. We changed our offer to reflect the situation and put in our best offer which was still over list price evidently not enough as the home sold for $70,000 over list price!! WOW! I haven't see that much of a spread in a while.
The moral of the story is that there are many great deals to be had in today's Calgary Real Estate market and the best homes sell quick. But you need the guidance of an experienced Realtor to help you make an educated decision to maximize your real estate investment.
Furthermore, the economy is on the rebound and the outlook for Calgary homes looks good. Currently, we still have some great interest rates, consumer confidence continues to rise, and with lower inventory of homes for sale, I believe we'll continue to see a strong market this winter and an upward trend in the start of 2010 (To see the full CREB monthly stats, click here).
As a buyer, to maximize your chances of getting the best value for your dollar, you need to be prepared to act quickly. As a seller, this improved market place has shown signs that the worst is over, and the prices have stabilized and even increased in many neighbourhoods across the city.
Email me today in order to take advantage of today's marketplace.
PS. If you or someone you know is in the market to buy or sell, please feel free to call me. I offer cash for referrals that turn into a deal. It's a WIN - WIN for everybody!

October Sales solidify signs that the Calgary real estate market has rebounded, and in some cases, we have seen indicators reminicent of the start of the Calgary Sellers Market that stimulated the boom of the 2004-2005 era. I personally have experienced more than a handful of multiple offer situations recently where home prices are selling over asking price once again. Hence the increase in prices for Calgary homes and condos. For up to date information on the Calgary real estate market, or to find out if this is the right time to buy or sell please contact me so I can assess your current real estate situation.
I think that the worst was over since Jan/Feb 2009 because since then, we've seen month over month increases in Avg. sale prices across the city. Add to it the very attractive Low Interest Rates, and we've seen a sustained rebound and recovery in home prices and sales that have yet to go through the seasonal slowdown.
Good news for sellers as they are able to rest assured that the prices are no longer falling... BUT it is important to note that it is still very competitive and if they aren't shown as the best value in the buyers eyes, then they still will have a tough time selling to buyers who are still looking for deals.
It's also very good news for buyers, as their boost in confidence in the Calgary Real Estate Market, and the low interest rates, still make it affordable, especially for first time buyers entering the market.
With the most recent news of the Bank of Canada not raising the prime lending rate and reassuring that it will stay the same well into 2010, will keep the rates lower and allow for both buyers and sellers to benefit from the current situation.
I'd love to hear what you think... feel free to post your thoughts!
