I must tell you; in uncovering these mistakes I found that 8 out of 10 agents in the business today commit these mistakes each and every day.
This may be one of the reasons why there’s a “burn-out” rate of over 75% in our business, and why the “average agent only makes $25,000 - $30,000 a year. But this doesn’t have to be you.
Regardless of whether you’re working with one of the big Real Estate firms or for a small independent company, I guarantee that you are committing most of these mistakes. After you’ve gone through the mistakes and solutions I’m going to reveal to you a simple to use, but extremely powerful tool you can use right away to generate more listings, increase your sales and put money in your pocket!
Mistake #1: You Treat Real Estate As A Job This is one of the prime mistakes most agents make; they treat Real Estate as a job. If you focus on Real Estate as a job then you have no chance of ever becoming a top producer.
-2- You see, a person that treats Real Estate as a job simply goes to work and works long and hard hours trying to make money. The problem is that working long and hard is a sure way not to be successful. Solution: You Must Treat Real Estate As A Business Let’s face reality! Real Estate is a business. And whether you work with a large company or small company, as a professional sales person you are really in business for yourself. And this means that you need to have a system and a plan to generate business success. When you treat Real Estate as a business, your business, you’ll put together a “business plan” – one that includes goals, a budget, systems of generating leads and creating business, checklists you use for your administrative tasks, people you delegate to, systems for getting customer/client feedback, etc. You’ll discover that when you treat Real Estate as a business, getting more customers, increasing your listings and closing more sales happen almost automatically. Mistake #2: You Focus On Promoting Yourself & Building Your Image For the last 10 years people have been telling you to promote yourself and build your image. Does it work? Of course… if you’re willing to spend enough money for a long enough time, and you’re already a top producer. Let me tell you, if you want immediate results now and don’t want to hope and pray that you get results sometime in the future then you must stop trying to promote yourself and build your image. Solution: You Need To Learn How To Use Direct Response Systems of Advertising A major secret to success in everything you do is to ask people to take action and respond to you. Additionally, instead of focusing on yourself, place your attention on the customer or client. When you speak to the public, either through an ad, newsletter or mailing, focus on what they want instead of what you want them to know about you. People want to know “what’s in it for me.” They’re more interested in benefits rather than features; they are attracted to and buy things for their own specific reasons. Once you can address this and give them what they want you’ll not only get their attention but increase your response and get more business. Direct response works immediately for anyone – regardless of your experience in marketing.

-3- Mistake #3: You Give Listing Presentations To Your Sellers Listing presentations typically involve impressing the seller with you and your company. If you do a good presentation you’ll get the listing, but that’s not all you want to accomplish on the listing appointment. Have you ever gotten a listing and later wished you didn’t have it? Or maybe had a listing that made you feel that the seller was working against you instead of working with you? If you answered “Yes” to these questions chances are you didn’t do enough on the listing appointment Solution: You Need To Have Marketing Conversations With Your Sellers A marketing conversation is exactly the opposite of a listing presentation. A listing presentation focuses on getting the listing, but a marketing conversation details what’s needed to get the property sold. Rather than just letting a customer know what you and our company will do to sell the property it’s better to focus on a marketing conversation where you can have a one-to-one discussion on what you and the seller must do to get the property sold quickly and for the best price. Mistake #4: You Try To Sell Your Listings How much time, effort and energy are you spending trying to sell your listings? If you’re like most agents the answer is, “a lot”. How many of your listings will sell because of an ad, flyer or open house you hold? I promise it won’t be a high percentage during your entire career in Real Estate. If you’re spending a lot of time and money trying to sell your listings you’re not using your time very effectively. Stop doing what doesn’t work! Solution: You Need To Market & Position Your Listings To Sell The top listing agents in the country know that they’ll most likely not be the person to actually sell the property, it will probably be another Real Estate agent. Knowing that this is the way the business really works, the top Real Estate agents focus on marketing their listings to other agents and positioning the properties so that the other agents will want to show them. Mistake #5: You Give Poor Service To Your Sellers How would you rate the service you provide your sellers? How do you judge whether you’re giving your sellers good service? Do you know what your sellers consider good service? -4- You can advertise the property, hold open houses, spend lot of money and work very hard and yet your sellers may not feel you’re giving them good service. Solution: You Must Communicate More Effectively With Your Sellers The #1 complaint by sellers about the Real Estate agent that has their listing is a lack of communication. You see, good service is not so much you working hard for your customer, as it is with having good, consistent communication with them. You should be consistently communicating with your sellers before the listing appointment, after the listing is signed … and, after the property is SOLD. Rule of thumb: When in doubt, over-communicate! Mistake #6: You Do Everything Yourself Fact: There is only one of you and only 24-hours in a day and it’s impossible to do it all! If you don’t have help from other people you will either compromise your service to your clients and customers or you’ll probably not have enough clients and customers. You don’t have enough time, skills, talent or energy to do it all. It’s not possible. Solution: You Need To Hire Other People To Help You Here’s the answer to this problem: You must get an assistance. Everyone, even new agents, must hire someone to help them. If you’re to succeed in Real Estate you need to have someone working with you hand-in-hand so that you can have the time and ability to focus on those things that will generate business and sales. After 6 months in the business you should have someone working for you a minimum of 10 hours per week; after 1 year you need someone to work for you at least 20 hours per week, and if you’ve been in the business more than 2-3 years you must have someone working for you full time. Mistake #7: You Wait And Look For Listings & Sales The average agent waits for business to come to them. They wait in the office for a good call while on floor duty/opportunity time or wait for someone to come through an open house. A good agent doesn’t just wait for business to “show up” but also looks for business. We call that prospecting. In truth though, what you need is not to prospect more. You need more prospects. Looking and waiting for prospects is not the primary system used by the top-producing agents in our business. -5- Solution: You Need To Create & Implement Systems That Bring Prospects To You Let me ask you: Can waiting on the floor time/opportunity time or open houses bring you business? Yes. Can knocking and cold –calling bring you business? Of, course. But although the previously mentioned methods can bring you business they also consume all of your valuable time. You are investing your time to get prospects. Here’s an inside secret: Top Producers Don’t Spend Their Time Trying To Get Prospects They INVEST Their Money To Get Prospects! The real secret is that you want to have many different places, whether it’s advertising, mailing systems, networking, etc. in which you are investing money to have prospects calling you directly who are looking to buy or sell. One of the most effective customer and referral generating systems you can employ is a consistent mailing program. Each month you should be communicating directly with your customers and prospects, letting them know that you are thinking of them and that you can be of service to them, their friends and acquaintances. Mistake #8: You Neglect People How good are you at following up with people? How well do you stay in touch with customers and prospects? People don’t buy or sell with the best Real Estate agent; they work with someone who demonstrates that they care about them and are looking out for their interests. The number one way to demonstrate that you care about people is to consistently stay in touch with them. Solution: You Need To Consistently Stay In Touch With People You’ve probably heard that old expression, “when you’re out of sight, you’re out of mind?” Regardless of whether you’re new to the business or are an old pro, you need to create and maintain a mailing list of customers and prospects. Then, consistently stay in touch with them. Staying in contact with your customers and prospects can be as simple as setting a regular mailing program, consisting of postcards, articles, and other information. This will effectively get you more business and generate more referrals. This is why you should be compiling a mailing list. -6- You Are Probably Sitting On A Customer Generating, Sales-Increasing Goldmine! If you have a mailing list, you need to be mailing something to those people a minimum of every month. And if you don’t have a list, now is the time to stop losing sales and money and start putting one together. The importance of a mailing list is to deliver a monthly message to your customers and prospects. It used to be that Real Estate agents mailed a calendar once a year, or sent an occasional newsletter. Unfortunately, the fact is that the majority of agents today rarely if ever contact their customers or prospects or they use tried and ineffective methods that are quickly forgotten or thrown away. Most agents equate staying in touch with their customers and prospects as a hard, tedious job. To many, communicating consistently with people that can give them listings, sales and more money is seen as an extremely difficult job. The problem is that they’ve been faced with ineffective systems and tools that just don’t work. You’ve probably encountered them too - magnets, door hangers, calendars, newsletters - the same stuff that agents have been doing for decades. But it doesn’t have to be that way, because now there’s – A Proven, Powerfully Effective Mailing System That Lets You Easily Communicate With Your Customers, Helps You Increase Your Listings And Allows You To Generate More Sales! The Stay In Touch Follow-Up System How many MORE listings and sales could you make if you could “automatically contact” your customers and prospects each and every month of the year? How much more effective could you be if you had a system that you could use each month like clockwork? The Stay In Touch Follow-up System is your monthly link to customers and prospects. 1,000s of agents across the country use the Stay In Touch System each month to effectively get their message to the people that count the most – their customers and prospects. The Stay In Touch Follow-Up System Is The Most Effective Mailing System In North America! “Shortly after I began my Real Estate career I decided to make a commitment of monthly mailings. By the end of the first full year with mailing out 400 Stay In Touch Postcards every month I sold over two -7- million. I attribute approximately ninety-percent of my business success to the Stay In Touch Postcards and referrals from people that receive my mailings.” - Dan Dirck, Kansas City, MO The Stay In Touch Follow-Up System is more effective than cold calling, canvassing or blind mailing campaigns. You’ll maximize your sales conversion rate with the least wasted effort of any professional sales technique you’ll ever use. The Stay in Touch System gives you an organized, low-maintenance, low-cost way to communicate with every single past and current client, every customer, prospect or “suspect” you’ve ever identified. You’ve Got To STOP Working So Hard And Start Working Smarter It makes every hour you work more profitable by freeing you up from the raw prospecting and letting you spend a greater percentage of your time doing what you do best – closings…on listings, on contracts, on sales. “We are listing property left and right just by using the Stay In Touch Follow-Up System. When sellers call, 95% of the time it was from our Stay In Touch Postcards. We keep increasing our orders of the cards because they work.” - Ron and Libby Burch, Seminole, FL Tested and used for over 17 years, the Stay In Touch Follow-Up System Postcards are seen more, remembered more and liked better by customers than the usual drab newsletters, computer generated sale and listing notices, and hit or miss postcard billboards advertising what you do – NOT what benefits the recipient. You’ll find that the Stay In Touch System will let you increase your referrals, listings, and sales better than anything you’ve ever tried before. The Results You Get Can Be Astonishing! “From the very first mailing I was overwhelmed with the success it brought to me! Because of my Stay In Touch mailing, I have received at least 10 listings that I normally would not have received. By continuing to send these dynamite cards my listings continue to increase!” - Sandra Roker, N. Miami Beach, FL Here’s Your Opportunity To Discover The Customer Generating Power Of The Stay In Touch Follow-Up System
-8- The Stay In Touch System is truly one of the most powerful tools you can have in your professional sales arsenal. This simple, proven, highly effective system lets you communicate with your customers and prospects 365-days a year, delivering your personal message when other systems can’t. Don’t make the mistake: Remember…the most important thing you can do as a Real Estate agent is to stay in touch with your customers and prospects. Consistent communication is the ultimate key to success in your business. Whether you decide to use the Stay In Touch Follow-Up System or not, I urge you to do something to let them know that you are available to help them with their Real Estate needs. You gain business/profits by having customers. You get customers by establishing and maintaining a relationship. Begin now!

Calgary, December 20, 2009 -

housing market is showing signs of a sustained

recovery according to figures released today by

the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®).

The number of single family homes sold in

November 2009 in the city of Calgary were

up 63 per cent from the same time a year ago,

while condominium sales saw an even steeper

increase-up 77 per cent from the same time a

year ago.

"November sales are clearly demonstrating that

the recovery in the Calgary housing market has

staying power," says Bonnie Wegerich, president

of the Calgary Real Estate Board. "We have now

seen seven consecutive months of year-over-year

sales increases for both the single-family and

condo markets. And November sales are in line

with what we would expect this time of year in a

balanced and normalized market."

November 2009 saw 1,095 single family homes

sold in the city of Calgary. This is a decrease of

15 per cent from 1,285 sales in October of this

year. In November 2008 single family home

sales were 670. The number of condominium

sales for the month of November 2009 was 504.

This was a decrease of 16 per cent from the 601

condominium transactions recorded last month.

In November 2008 condominium sales were 284.

"Clearly low borrowing costs are helping to fuel

this recovery," says Wegerich. "Many buyers

want to get in while mortgage rates remain at

record lows. Better employment numbers and

an improving economic outlook are giving the

market an added boost."

"It's the ‘new kids on the block'-the young first

time homebuyers if you will-that continue to

be a bright spot in our housing market. Clearly

this can be seen in the strength of our condo sales

this month and it is helped by the narrowing gap

between the costs of renting when compared to

owning," says Wegerich.

"But interestingly in recent months we have also

seen more move-up buyers enter the market and

useful in establishing trends over time, but does

not indicate actual prices in centres comprised of

"A healthy demand for homes combined with a

steadily decreasing inventory is holding prices

firm," says Wegerich. "Our absorption rate for

single family homes in the city of Calgary is

currently less than 2.5 months."

"Pricing will remain stable and may edge upwards

in some markets-but it is unlikely that we will

see any dramatic jump in prices in the months to

come," adds Wegerich.

Single family listings in the city of Calgary added

for the month of November totaled 1,365, a

decrease of 25 per cent from October 2009 when

1,819 new listings were added, and showing a

decrease of 13 per cent from November 2008,

when 1,567 new listings came to the market.

Condominium new listings in the city of Calgary

added for November 2009 were 705, down 18 per

saw 859 condo listings coming to the market. This

is a decrease of 5 per cent from November 2008,

when new condominium listings added were 741.

The median price of a single family home in the

city of Calgary for November 2009 was $408,000,

showing no significant change from October 2009,

when the median price was $410,000, and up 5 per

was $263,500, and up 5 per cent from November

2008, when the median price was $251,800.

All city of Calgary MLS® statistics include

properties listed and sold only within Calgary's city

limits. The median price is the price that is midway

between the least expensive and most expensive

home sold in an area during a given period of time.

During that time, half the buyers bought homes that

cost more than the median price and half bought

homes for less than the median price.

"We expect sales to taper off as we enter the winter

Chestermere Lake is a manmade irrigation lake. The area now known as Chestermere Lake at one time extended to Sheppard. Around the turn of the century the C.P.R. built a dam at the South end of the lake. Some of the rock used to build the dam came from the Frank Slide. The water that flows from Chestermere Lake runs through about 1400 miles of canal which run as far as Cluny. The Western Irrigation District operates the irrigation system. The lake is 3.5 miles long .5 miles wide and covers 750 acres. The Bow River feeds the lake with mountain, spring and glacier run-off. Chestermere Lake has a complete water change every five days. In comparison, Pine Lake in central Alberta has a complete water change once every 200 years. To prevent ice damage to docks and boat houses in the winter, the water is lowered. Chestermere Lake has never flooded as the water level is well-controlled by shutting off the weir from the Bow River in the event of a big storm.

Many people choose Chestermere Lake over other lake communities in the city because you can actually use a motorboat to waterski or wakeboard. There is also a very active sailing community that operates out of the Calgary Yacht Club located on East Chestermere Drive. Off-lake residents can launch their boats for free as often as they wish. Non-Chestermere residents are charged $40 per launch.

In the winter months residents enjoy taking their winter machines out on the lake. Most homes will have an outdoor skating rink that they share with their neighbours. Chestermere Lake is a favorite spot for ice-fishing with a natural abundance of northern pike, some trout (from the Bow River), white fish and perch.

Chestermere was incorporated as a town on March 1, 1993. Before this time Chestermere was known as Chestermere Lake. Because mere means lake in French the then council decided to drop the lake and be just Chestermere. Developers then began to call the town Lake Chestermere as they wanted people to know that the most important thing about Chestermere was the lake. The correct name remains Chestermere.

We moved to Chestermere in 1991. At that time Chestermere was a summer village of 926 residents. Sixteen years later we have a population of 10,000. Chestermere's attractions include a 750-acre lake and 18-hole golf course. There are bike and walking paths built throughout the community. The newer subdivisions such as Westmere, West Creek and Rainbow Falls all take advantage of the accessibility to water from the irrigation system. From 2-storey waterfalls, meandering creeks and ponds you will find Chestermere offers a unique beauty all of its own. We have great schools both separate and public, a very active recreation centre and just about every service you need right in the town.

Another attraction to Chestermere is that access to the City of Calgary's downtown and S.E.,N.E. industrial areas and the International Airport is easier and faster than from most parts of Calgary itself. Also Chestermere has consistently had much lower taxes than Calgary and the surrounding areas.

There is a good variety of housing available from apartment condos, townhouses and villas ranging from $280,000 and up. Lakefront homes can still be had for under $1,000,000. Most homes in Chestermere are under 6 years old. Please feel free to browse around this site, it has been provided to give you complete and easy access to the homes that Chestermere has to offer.

Reviewing The Atlantic Connection

For years I have praised the Banff Western Connection, the bi-annual conference hosted by the western provinces, as the best little conference in real estate. As you may know, I am the emcee of the upcoming offering, January 29 - 31, 2009. (It's in Banff, in case you missed the conference name!) Any further praise I heap on this jewel of networking, leadership training and education risks being received as self-serving promotion by the pitchman. Did I mention the most romantic setting in North America? Can you arrange to have your in-laws up close and personal with bears in Niagara? I think not. If only my contract was $10 per head!
 
As emcee I promise no impressions of the Queen or Jean Chretien.
 
This babble is by way of lead in to my present location - Halifax - at the Atlantic Connection, a Realtor conference sponsored by the Maritime real estate associations and the third of its iteration. I may have to divide North America into hemispheres in my declarations of best conferences.
 
First of all, getting here from the west is a dream - if you fly at night. Four and a half hours from Calgary on WestJet's direct flight - no Vancouver, no Toronto - just smooth flying over three time zones - four if you caught a WestJet connection from a West Coast gateway. The only hitch came courtesy of the bozos who checked their bags but didn't show up for the flight. I'm guessing they were loaded - along with their luggage. All of us would have volunteered to go below and unload the bags but allowed the pilot to risk a herniated disc.
 
Late September in the Maritimes is a collage of turning leaves and blue skies. The last hurricane detritus passed through several weeks ago but another is due on the day I'm scheduled to leave. It's been a decade or more since I was last here for a conference. CREA, Realty World - it's an alcoholic haze - and the changes, especially to the waterfront and transport infrastructure, are huge. Some things are timeless - the three-lane twin of Vancouver's Lionsgate Bridge, the Angus L Macdonald, is still a traffic clogger. And apparently, they have FSBOs here too.
 
And Elton John. His Red Piano tour is in Slackers for two nights this weekend. Funny - I was in Vegas, Elton was in Vegas. I'm in Halifax, Elton's in - wait a minute, I see what's going on here - do you think it's a trend?
 
The conference theme is The Changing Tide - who better to know than those surrounding the Bay of Fundy? There's a great session on governance for those who haven't been on a non-profit board and a refresher for those who have. Local talent includes comedian Roman Danylo, Eddie Lemoine on the law of attraction and a three-man drum line with rock and roll bagpipes called Squid. Only in the Maritimes!
 
But wait, there's more. A singing Errors and Omissions presentation by Taras Luchak - did you know the Atlantic E & O policy is administered by Manitoba? A bit of a high bar set for the other E&O executive officers across Canada. The 240 registrants loved it. What they don't appear to love, or at least the results are murky at this point, is the form of designated agency they have been operating under in Nova Scotia since January of this year. One interesting note - if you are the sole managing broker in your Nova Scotia office, you cannot absent yourself, for a vacation for example, without designating another broker, often a competitor, to stand in for you.
 
There's always a panel on Realtor success. And inevitably, one or more of them remark on the poor lot of being a broker, that they could never do it, that brokers, comparatively speaking, make no money and endure too much responsibility in return for meager gruel. A market adjustment will change that tune.
 
One of the discussion points for the panelists was the effect of technology and a comment made to the effect that technology is allowing unlicensed ‘pseudo-competitors' to exist. It took me back to Pip Holmes, a past president of FIABCI, the international real estate organization, who said, "So much of what is done today in our business is, because of technology, in the hands of amateurs. It deserves to be in the hands of professionals." He said that in 1985. Hah - you had no idea we had technology a generation ago! But damned if I can remember what the technology was. Too late for fire, too early for the Internet. Might have been the financial calculator replacing amortization tables. Or the Bic pen.  Or BETA.
 
The wrap-up speaker was Peter Mansbridge. He was engaging, charming and funny, telling tales on himself and the media but essentially talking about leadership as the essential element in citizenship. He is amazed, considering the lack of democracy he has seen around the world, by the nearly 40 per cent of Canadians who can't find the time to vote. Hope you did.

Calgary's MLS® market remains steady for the month of July and still presents great opportunities for buyers, according to fi gures released by the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®).

Single family Calgary metro new listings added for the month of July totaled 2,559, a very slight increase of 0.4 per cent from July 2007, when new listing added totaled 2,548 and a decrease of 8.2 per cent from last month, when new listings coming to the market were 2,787. Calgary metro condominium new listings added in July 2008 were 1,183, showing an increase of 5.9 per cent from the 1,117 new condominium listings added in July 2007 and a decrease of 4.1 per cent from last month's condominium listings of 1,234.

Single family Calgary metro sales for the month of July came in at 1,313, showing a decrease of 12.2 per cent from the 1,495 sales in July 2007 and showing a decrease of 8.8 per cent from last month's sales of 1,439. Condominium sales for the month of July were 535, a decrease of 11.3 per cent from the 603 condominium sales recorded in July 2007 and showing a slight decrease of 3.8 percent over the 556 condominiums changing hands in June 2008.

"As we can see, the number of new listings coming to the Calgary market is down just slightly again in July. This may be due in part to the current time of year; home owners are more focused on family holidays during the summer months," remarked CREB® President, Ed Jensen. "The market is presenting a good selection for home buyers, but waiting too long may present less opportunity in the future, as we continue to move into a normal market," Jensen continued. "Buyers who wish to take advantage of the zero down mortgage program will need to hurry as this program, and the 40 year amortization program, are discontinuing shortly. Buyers can get more information about these programs from their REALTOR®." concluded, Jensen.

The median price of a single family Calgary metro home in July 2008 was $408,500, showing a decrease of 6.1 per cent from July 2007, when the median price was $435,000 and down just $500 from last month when the median price was $408,000. All Calgary Metro MLS® statistics include properties listed and sold only within Calgary's City limits. The median price is the price that is midway between the least expensive and most expensive home sold in an area during a given period of time. During that time, half the buyers bought homes that cost more than the median price and half bought homes for less than the median price.

"The single family median price in Calgary has come down over last year. This month alone we have seen 95 single family metro properties sell in the $200,000 to 300,000 price range as opposed to just 42 sales in that same category in July 2007. In addition to that, we had 60 properties that sold for over $1,000,000 in July of 2007 and only 30 this July. It just reinforces the fact that the craze of last year is over and sellers can no longer name their price; sellers must price their properties competitively the fi rst time for a relatively quick sale." explained Jensen.

The average price of a single family Calgary metro home in July 2008 was $456,380, showing a decrease of 9.8 per cent from July 2007, when the average price was $505,920. The average price of a Calgary metro condominium was $296,338, showing a 7 per cent decrease from July 2007 when the average price was $318,582. Average price information can be useful in establishing trends over time, but does not indicate actual prices in centres comprised of widely divergent neighbourhoods or account for price differentials between geographical areas.

Calgary's MLS® market remains steady with a slight increase in metro single family and condominium sales over last month, which may indicate that more homes are being priced to fit the current market conditions.

Single family Calgary metro new listings added for the month of June totaled 2,787, a decrease of 15.9 per cent from June 2007 when new listing added totaled 3,313 and a decrease of 18.8 per cent from last month, when new listings coming to the market were 3,432. Calgary metro condominium new listings added in June 2008 were 1,234, showing a slight decrease of 1.5 per cent from the 1,253 new condominium listings added in June 2007 and a decrease of 19.8 per cent from last month's condominium listings of 1,538.

Single family Calgary metro sales for the month of June came in at 1,439, showing a decrease of 18.1 per cent from the 1,757 sales in June 2007 but showing an increase of 5.2 per cent from last month's sales of 1,368. Condominium sales for the month of June were 556, a decrease of 29.8 per cent from the 792 condominium sales recorded in June 2007 and showing a slight decrease of 3.6 percent over the 577 condominiums changing hands in May 2008.

At this mid-point in the year, Calgary metro single family new listings added year-todate were 19,086, an increase of 7.7 per cent from the 17,723 new listings added during the fi rst half of 2007. Respectively, Condominium new listings added were 8,473 an increase of 23.1 per cent over the 6,884 new condominium listings added at the mid-point in 2007.

Sales year-to-date for Single family Calgary metro were recorded as 7,902, a decrease of 31.4 per cent from the 11,526 sales recorded in 2007. Calgary metro Condominiums changing hands during the fi rst half of 2008 totaled 3,286 a decrease of 36.4 per cent over the 5,170 sales recorded in 2007. If we look at the average price year-to-date, there is very little change in single family and condominium Calgary metro. The Single family average price for the fi rst half of 2008 was $472,163 and in 2007 for the same period, it was $471,218, a difference of just 0.2 per cent. Respectively, the condominium average price was $312,460 this year and $314,851 last year, down just 0.8 per cent.

"The Calgary metro month end inventory number has decreased slightly and the Calgary metro sales numbers have increased over last month. That tells me that perhaps sellers are listening to their REALTORS® and pricing their homes with today's market in mind. We're seeing the sales numbers refl ect that more buyers are fi nding a home that fi ts their family's needs. As we move into the summer months, it's an excellent time for buyers to capitalize on the wide selection of homes, rather than waiting for the fall when things start to pick up again", remarked CREB® President, Ed Jensen.

The median price of a single family Calgary metro home in June 2008 was $408,000 showing a decrease of 7.1 percent over June 2007, when the median price was $439,000 and showing a decrease of 2.6 per cent from last month when the median price was $419,000.

All Calgary Metro MLS® statistics include properties listed and sold only within Calgary's City limits. The median price is the price that is midway between the least expensive and most expensive home sold in an area during a given period of time. During that time, half the buyers bought homes that cost more than the median price and half bought homes for less than the median price.

The average price of a single family Calgary metro home in June 2008 was $473,774, showing a decrease of 4.7 per cent from June 2007, when the average price was $496,890. The average price of a Calgary metro condominium was $315,042, showing a 2.5 per cent decrease from June 2007 when the average price was $323,269. Average price information can be useful in establishing trends over time, but does not indicate actual prices in centres comprised of widely divergent neighbourhoods or account for price differentials between geographical areas.

"Now is not the time to wait until the sale is over and then decide to buy; after you read a headline, the best time to buy has passed," cautioned, CREB® President, Ed Jensen. Home inventories are high; buyers are reaping the benefi ts of selection and are able to negotiate the best sale price and terms. Today's market presents buyers with great purchasing opportunities, according to information released by the Calgary Real Estate Board.

Single family Calgary metro new listings added for the month of May totaled 3,432, a decrease of 6 per cent from May 2007 when new listing added totaled 3,652 and an increase of 1.6 per cent from last month, when new listings coming to the market were 3,377. Calgary metro condominium new listings added in May 2008 were 1,538, showing an increase of 15.5 per cent from the 1,332 new condominium listings added in May 2007 and an increase of 3.0 per cent from last month's condominium listings of 1,493.

Single family Calgary metro sales for the month of May came in at 1,368, showing a decrease of 31.4 per cent from the 1,995 sales recorded in May 2007 and showing an increase of 0.4 per cent from last month's sales of 1,363. Condominium sales for the month of May were 577, a decrease of 35 per cent from the 887 condominium sales recorded in May 2007 and showing a slight decrease of 0.7 percent over the 581 condominiums changing hands in April 2008.

"The conditions today are perfect for buyers. We have a surplus of homes on the market, there are many great mortgage products available to fi t the needs of every buyer, and interest rates have never been better," remarked CREB® President, Ed Jensen. Some buyers are waiting and trying to time the next market shift, which is almost impossible to do, a crystal ball is not a great forecasting tool. New listing numbers dropped slightly in May, sales remain steady and our economy remains very solid. Buying real estate is the best long term investment available to us as consumers; maybe today is the day to make a buying decision. A professional REALTOR® understands what is going on in the market and can help the buyer make an informed buying decision," Jensen concluded. The median price of a single family Calgary metro home in May 2008 was $419,000 showing a decrease of 3.7 percent over May 2007, when the median price was $435,000 and showing a decrease of just 0.2 per cent from last month when the median price was $420,000. All Calgary Metro MLS® statistics include properties listed and sold only within Calgary's City limits. The median is the price that is midway between the least expensive and most expensive home sold in an area during a given period of time. During that time, half the buyers bought homes that cost more than the median price and half bought homes for less than the median price. The average price of a single family Calgary metro home in May 2008 was $479,564, showing a very slight decrease of 1.6 per cent from May 2007, when the average price was $487,523.

‘The perfect storm’ says realtor as over 10,000 homes hit the market

CALGARY HERALD - Calgary’s MLS listings are currently “totally out of whack” surpassing the 10,000 mark in April and growing by the day while at the same time sales are slumping.

Listings are at an all-time high for single-family homes and condominiums and they are being described as “extraordinarily high.”

April MLS sales for single-family homes (1,363) in Calgary metro were the lowest for the month since 2000 while condo activity (581 sales) was the slowest since 2003 - even before the years immediately leading up to the city housing market boom in 2006 and 2007.

“If inventory was a tenth of what it is right now,” overall sales would still be pretty good, said Gary MacLean, a realtor with Re/Max Real Estate Central.

“But we have an inventory that is way out of control.”

MacLean said there are a few reasons for the continuing rise in active listings in the Calgary real estate market.

“You almost look at it like a perfect storm,” said MacLean. “You’ve got cost of living issues. People’s disposable incomes are being eroded quickly by food prices, gasoline, heating, and electricity. The cost of living in this town is going through the roof.

“The other factor is a lot of people got in the market when it was peaked and paid a lot for their house . . . With the cost of living going through the roof, the first thing to go is the house because they’re over-extended. They’re house poor.”

MacLean said recent data showing declines in housing starts and residential building permits also have a ripple effect on the local real estate market, as do speculators.

“Those are the people that went out and bought four, five, six, seven condos in a building that wasn’t going to be built for two years. All of those buildings are now being completed. Those people did not want to be landlords. They were going to buy the condo, hold it until the building came due and put it on the market,” said MacLean. “Well the problem is of course we have the highest number of condos in history for sale.”

At the end of April, the Calgary Real Estate Board was reporting the month-end inventory in Calgary metro for single-family homes at 6,881 listings (2,881 in April 2007) and 3,214 for condos (898 in April 2007). The average MLS sale price for a single-family home in April in the city was $474,564, up 0.07 per cent from a year ago while condos dropped by 5.11 per cent to $312,586.

As of Friday, CREB’s website was reporting active listings for single-family homes in the city were 6,999 with 1,369 sales in the past 30 days.

Total MLS inventory at the end of April under CREB, including towns outside Calgary, acreages and rural land, was 14,480, up more than 155 per cent from the 5,665 at the end of April 2007.

“We’ve never had anything like this . . . It is totally out of whack,” said MacLean, adding the inventory keeps rising every day with sales not keeping pace. “March, April, May are the three best months of the year (for sales). We’re not getting that. It’s actually falling.

“We have a giant inventory and we’re adding to it by hundreds a day. I don’t see anything good coming out of this. It’s a supply and demand scenario and prices rise when supply is low and prices fall when supply is high. And this is as high as it gets.”

The listings are “extraordinarily high,” said Don Campbell, president of the Real Estate Investment Network in Canada. “The pendulum has swung to the exact opposite of what it did over the last couple of years. You go back to that analogy that we finished playing golf like Tiger Woods. Now, we’re going to start playing like Mike Weir. What we’re doing is reinventing our swing.

“It’s not a reason to panic unless you’re trying to sell right now. Trying to sell right now is ridiculous. It would defeat the whole purpose for yourself.”

Campbell said Calgary is still seeing market activity but there are slower sales and higher listings which leads to a buyer’s market.

“The normal course of action over the last five years is that’s there a normal group of people who are listing their properties because they’re moving or just moving up and we’re going to continue to see those people trying to sell while the buyers are sitting back saying ‘you know what, I’m in no hurry. I’m going to sit back and wait’,” said Campbell, the author of two books - Real Estate Investing in Canada, and 51 Success Stories from Canadian Real Estate Investors.

“And what happens it becomes self perpetuating . . . We’re going to see less sales this year. We’re going to see more listings this year. I think there’s fear in the market.”

He said the province’s “economic fundamentals haven’t changed” but the “emotional fundamentals have changed.”

This is the highest level of total active listings we have on record right now, said Lai Sing Louie, senior market analyst in Calgary for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

“It wasn’t that long ago that we had a record high level of housing starts. All those houses are built and it means people are moving in there and selling their existing homes. That’s where the supply’s coming from,” said Louie.

“There are also investors who might not want to when there’s price pressure it’s not a good time to be speculating. That speculative market is probably cleaned out. I would say in terms of people trying to sell if you’re a speculator you’re probably selling. You wouldn’t be adding to the demand by buying in this kind of market right now because prices are wobbly and speculators don’t really like to participate in markets when price trends are not going up.”

Another factor is negative interprovincial migration in recent months so some people are leaving Calgary and selling their houses.

Calgary Real estate Information

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary

Calgary Real Estate News MLS® REPORTS VARIETY IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN MARCH 2008 April 1, 2008 Calgary's MLS® listings for the month and for the fi rst quarter, indicate a wide variety of housing for potential buyers, according to fi gures released by the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®). Single family Calgary metro new listings added for the month of March totaled 3,493, an increase of 11.6 per cent from March 2007 when new listing added totaled 3,131 an increase of 17.2 per cent over last month, when new listings coming to the market were 2,981. At the end of the fi rst quarter, we have seen 9,497 listings new to the market, compared to the 7,661 new listings for the fi rst quarter of 2007, indicating a 24 per cent increase. "We have moved into a market that is currently providing a great variety and choices for the buyer. Not only does the buyer have much better supply to choose from, they can also customize their wants and needs in a home, making for a dream home purchase," remarked CREB® President, Ed Jensen. Single family Calgary metro sales for the month of March came in at 1,418, showing a decrease of 37.6 per cent from the 2,272 sales in March 2007 but showing an increase of 13.3 per cent over last month's sales of 1,252. Looking at the fi rst quarter sales for single family Calgary metro, we see that 3,747 homes have changed hands, compared to the 5,709 sales recorded in the fi rst quarter of 2007, indicating a 34.3 per cent decrease. "Gone are the days of sellers naming their price; sellers have to pay much more attention to what their asking price will be and how they present their home to experience a quick sale," explained Jensen. "Sellers should rely on their REALTOR® for help while deciding on a list price, your REALTOR® has an arsenal of tools at their disposal to analyze the market and fi nd a fair and reasonable price point for the seller." "The average time a home is remaining on the market prior to selling is 40 days, but some are remaining on the market much longer and that may be due to overpricing and the extra inventory we are currently experiencing, one in fi ve homes are selling in today's market, this is a great time for buyers to buy a home," continued, Jensen. Buyers need to know, that in today's complex market, it is more important than ever that they call a realtor to assist them through the details of a purchase. The median price of a single family Calgary metro home in March 2008 was $420,000 showing a very slight decrease of 1.6 percent over March 2007, when the median price was $427,000 and showing a 1.9 per cent decrease from last month when the median price was $428,000. Quarterly, the 2008 single family Calgary metro home median price also came in at $420,000, an increase of 2.5 per cent over the fi rst quarter median price of 409,900, for 2007. All Calgary Metro MLS® statistics include properties listed and sold only within Calgary's City limits. The median price is the price that is midway between the least expensive and most expensive home sold in an area during a given period of time. During that time, half the buyers bought homes that cost more than the median price and half bought homes for less than the median price. Calgary metro condominium new listings added in March 2008 were 1,561, showing an increase of 24.9 per cent from the 1,250 new condominium listings added in March 2007 and a 25.5 per cent increase over the 1,244 new condominium listings brought to market last month. New Condominium listings fi nding their way to the market in the fi rst three months of 2008 totaled 4,208, an increase of 33.9 percent over the 3,143 new listing brought to market in the fi rst quarter of 2007. Condominium sales for the month of March were 565, a decrease of 44.9 per cent over the 1,026 condominium sales in March 2007 and an increase of just 0.5 percent over the 562 condominium sales changing hands in February. Quarterly, condominium sales were 1,577 for this year, a decrease of 40.6 per cent from the 2,656 condominium sales recorded in the fi rst three month of 2007. The average price of a single family Calgary metro home in March 2008 was $474,513, showing a 1.1 per cent decrease from March 2007, when the average price was $479,914. The average price of a Calgary metro condominium was $312,620, showing a 0.1 per cent decrease from March 2007 when the average price was $312,280.
