Calgary Real Estate Board Stats for the month of May have been published and here is our summary  of some key areas with a few short comments. 

Calgary Listing Inventory:  As shown below our inventory in Calgary Metro increased by 308 listings this month.   This is very typical to see listings rise as spring arrives.  

Inventory  April  2011 May 2011 Change
Single Family Home 4395 4616 +221
Condo’s 2005 2092 +87
Total 6400 6708 +308
 Calgary Sales: 

Overall Calgary sales for the month of May increased slightly from April.  Single family home sales increased while condo sales decreased ever so slightly.  Interesting enough sales of Inner city homes increased by almost 4%    

Sales April 2011 May 2011 Change
Single Family Home 1217 1313 +96
Condo’s 535 503 -32
Total 1752 1816 +64
 Calgary Real Estate Sales Prices:    Prices for Single Family homes increased by $3,000 this month while condos increased by $8,500.  This makes sense as our inventory is holding steady and sales are remaining steady.  

Sales Prices April Median Prices May Median Prices Change
Single Family Homes $ 420,000 $423,000 +$3,000
Condo’s $260,000 $268,500 +$8,500
  

Absorption Rate:  When looking at Real estate stats it is imperative to look at the absorption rate.

Absorption rate is simply the total inventory divided by the number of sales in the last month.  An absorption rate of between 2.3 to 4.0 months reflects a balanced market while a higher rate reflects a buyer’s market and therefore a lower rate reflects a seller’s market.  From the chart below you can see that we are still in a slight buyers market.

Outstanding example of service excellence

May 9th, 2011

Gord is an outstanding example of service excellence. I was going through a very difficult time and he was cheerful, helpful and extremely calming. I felt very well looked after. He, in my books, went way above and beyond in customer service. His follow through and commitment to job excellence is second to none. He made everything easy and went out of his way to ensure that casino spiele I was happy with what I got. I am happy and I highly recommend his services to anyone. I have the best real estate agent EVER. The home inspector that he arranged for me (Assured Home Inspections) was professional, thorough and completely worth the investment. I figure he saved me about $40 to $50 thousand on the first house I put an offer on and which I did not purchase. On the second house I knew exactly what I was getting into, what needed to be done and pretty much which order it needed to be done in. No surprises, no extras. Not only was the second house cheaper, but it needed way fewer, and way less critical, repairs. Kudos to both!!

During our time working with Brent he regularly emphasized his commitment to customer service, and time after time he delivered.

Patiently helped us find our new home

May 9th, 2011

Gord patiently helped us find our new home and sell our existing place. This was no easy feat for any realtor. With the crazy Calgary market, buying a home was a challenge. My wife and I were looking for something very specific and in a very specific price range. Gord was the perfect combination of caring, patient and aggressive when he needed to be. He patiently analyzed and re-analyzed the quickly changing market for us, Quelle che trovi su questo sito appartengono a questa categoria e sono sicuramente tra le migliori slot machine gratis attualmente in circolazione. drawing up comparisons, but finally and without pressure, left it to us as to whether we should make an offer and for how much. Now we live in a new home and are very happy thanks to him. We happily and confidently recommend him to our friends and colleagues. Keep in touch.

Needing to sell our home we tried doing it ourselves to save money.
