Easter Update
Monday, April 21st, 2014
Well, the view out my window this weekend would seem to contradict my previous post’s allusion to the snow being gone and it being time for yard work to commence, but I guess that’s just the way 2014 is playing out, weather-wise. It sure hasn’t cooled our red-hot market, with year-over-year prices jumping a whopping ten percent. The average days-on-market numbers are better than they’ve been in years, which is great for sellers: the quicker a home sells, the more likely it is to be at or over asking price.
In more good news, Calgary, Toronto, and Vancouver were named the three most resilient cities in the world for real estate development, according to a Grosvenor Research report. Our relatively well thought out city planning, and large migration numbers are the main factor for Calgary’s positive showing here.
Easter weekend has passed, and I enjoyed both spending some quality time with my family, and eating a sugar-coma-inducing amount of chocolate. I hope you had similar fun!
