Victoria Dalgleish Real Estate

April Market Update 🏡

There were 3,491 new listings in April, an 11 per cent gain over last year but only three per cent higher than long-term trends. The rise in new listings compared to sales prevented any further deterioration of the inventory situation. However, with 2,711 units in inventory, levels are 16 per cent below last year and half of what is traditionally seen in April.

SOLD // 7512 Fleetwood Drive SE 🏠

Congratulations to my sellers on the sale of this beautiful bungalow on a massive lot in Fairview SE. We had this property photographed, measured, staged, listed and sold firm in 3 days! Onto a new chapter!

Let’s talk staging & preparing your home🪄🌷

The market is hot 🔥Your home will sell, regardless of how well it’s presented. But you’re leaving money on the table if you aren’t taking the time to ensure it’s showcased as it’s very best! Staging, paint touch ups, cleaning and decluttering make a world of a difference.

Let’s not forget professional photography 📸

According to the National Association of Realtors, 96% of buyer’s agents agree that home staging has an effect on how buyers view the homes, citing that over 50% of Realtors say that buyers are willing to offer more for a staged home.

Hire a professional, prepare your home, take the necessary steps and advice to assure you are achieving the best possible return on your investment.

Thinking of selling? My home evaluation will ensure you are prepared when the right time comes.

March Market Update 🏡

March sales rose to 2,664 units, a 10 per cent year-over-year gain and much higher than long-term trends. while new listings did pick up over last month, 3,172 units were still below what we typically see in March and not enough relative to sales to drive any change in the supply situation. In March, the sales-to-new listings ratio rose to 84 per cent, and the months of supply fell below one month.

Congratulations to my client on the purchase of this fantastic property in West Springs. I can’t wait to pop in throughout the renovations and see the beautiful transformation 🏡✨

Cheers 🥂

March Home Maintenance 🏡

With the weather warming up and Spring break in full swing, put aside some time to check off a few home maintence items while you’re around the house.

🔹 Test your smoke & Co2 detectors twice a year. Replace your detectors every 10 years.

🔹 Wash or replace the front entryway mats. Calgary is slushy & muddy in the spring. Get ready to pack away the winter coats & snow pants…. Just keep them within reach until May long weekend 🫣

🔹 Test your sump pump. With snow beginning to melt dump some water in the pit to test the motor and make sure it starts. If it doesn’t, you can get ahead of the repair prior to snow melting. Have you cleaned your sump pump? It may be overdue for a regular clean.

🔹 Pull out your refrigerators and vacuum the condenser coil (on the back or bottom of the fridge). The coils are responsible for releasing heat to keep the inside of the refrigerator cold.

🔹 If you are someone that rotates your bedding it’s a great time to dry clean/wash the winter down blankets and replace them with lighter bedding.

🔹 Start the post holiday, dry winter dusting and check off the high corners and edges of your baseboard’s.

If you have kids at home this week I’m sure they’d have a blast helping you with a few of these items ;)

✨SOLD✨ 1, 828 Coach Bluff Cres SW

Congratulations to my clients on the sale of this architectural gem located in Coach Hill SW. The open houses felt like house warming parties with multiple offers received at the end of the weekend.

February Market Update 🏡

New listings continued to rise in February, reaching 2,711 units. However, the rise in new listings supported further growth in sales, which increased by nearly 23 per cent compared to last year for a total of 2,135 units. The shift in sales and new listings kept the sales to new listings ratio exceptionally high at 79 per cent ensuring inventories remained near historical lows. Low supply and higher sales caused the months of supple to fall to just over one month, nearly as tight as levels seen during the spring of last year.

International Women’s Day ❤️

January Market Update 🏡

January sales rose to 1,650 units, significant gain over last years levels and long-term trends. The growth was possible thanks to a rise in new listings totalling 2,137 units in January. New listings rose for homes priced above $300,000, but the largest gains occurred for homes priced above $700,000.

The rise in new listings relative to sales did little to change the low inventory situation in the city. With 2,150 units in inventory, levels are near the January record lows set in 2006 and nearly 49 per cent below the long term average for the month.

But first… get pre approved // Non-waivers are flying in YYC. Deals collapsing due to financing. This not only impacts the buyers but greatly impacts the sellers with high hopes as they prep and plan to move only to learn the buyers didn’t have an approval in place. Weeks and momentum lost on the market. Take the time and ensure you are shopping within your budget with a current pre approval, not one you found online or received 2 years ago before you quit your job and bought 3 cars 🫣
