Did you miss out on another Home For Sale in Calgary?

We just had a seller's home go 'UNDER CONTRACT' two days prior to going on the Public MLS System.  Now, this result is commonplace, and by itself wouldn't typically warrant a blog.  However, with some other information I've been tracking I thought I'd take a few minutes to catch you up on the Real Estate situation here in Calgary right now.  

We are in a SELLERS market.  A seller's market is simply defined as 'demand for homes exceeds the supply of homes for sale'.  Due to this seller's market we are currently seeing two major things: 

A) Days on Market - The current days on market in Calgary is 34.61 days (this typically includes 10-14 calendar days to clear conditions.  

With a low days on market number like this it tends to mean that there are many buyers looking at the same homes.  In turn, it means that interested buyers have a lot less time to decide if this is the right home for them.  Sometimes, even needing to make a decision regaring purchasing a home in as little as 15 minutes.  This causes extra stress and makes them weary about making the wrong choice.  

B) Uneducated Offers - This is a reality in a seller's market.  Many buyers are left feeling like they just need to throw money at a house to successfully purchase the property.  Now, this can come with many different feelings.  Some buyers feel remorse, while others are just happy they were able to secure a home (quite often, just before a mortgage approval expires).  

Our team has put THREE systems together to ensure our buyers are in a situation where we can remove their stress.  

1) Our BUY BACK GUARANTEE* - Quite simply this is the best tool in buying a home.  We GUARANTEE your satisfaction, regardless of the market, by offering to buy back your property if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase.

2) Our $5000 Savings GUARANTEE* - If we CAN NOT save you a MINIMUM of $5000 of the listing price of the home you purchase, we will pay you $500 cash upon closing your purchase. 

3) Our Off-Market Homes Program - Once a VIP Buyer has been entered into our system, it's our job to find them a property to purchase.  This doesn't always mean it will be on the Public MLS System.  We will look through For Sale by Owner Homes, Reverse Market to find homes not yet for sale, and even door knock the right homes for our buyers (after all, finding the right home is our job, not yours).
