Mastering Calgary's Fast Real Estate Market: Quick Tip for Buyers & Working with Agents

The Calgary market is a tough place to navigate for those looking to buy a home right now. With high demand and low supply quite often we see homes selling very quickly, with multiple offers and in most cases above the asking price.

Add to that higher interest rates and rising home values and not only is it tougher to qualify, your dollar doesn’t get you as far as it did even 6 months ago.

So, if you plan to buy a home, what can you do to help make the process smoother and increase your chances of success?

Well, you can engage a real estate professional early in the process.

The way I look at it is, why not have someone who is familiar with the market and the buying process in your corner, looking out for your best interests?

When you bring in a real estate professional early, you can work with them to learn about what the market is like in your desired area, understand how much homes are selling for and how quickly, and have someone looking out for coming soon and off-market opportunities, which is really important in today's low inventory market.

Now all this information and detail will help you and your agent pur together a plan.
