CHECK THE AVERAGE DAYS ON MARKET
If you have a restricted amount if time to sell or that you are in a rush, it will be beneficial to analyze the average days on market (See Team Leading Edge Edmonton Real Estate Market Weekly Update). This info shows the average lenght of time it takes an Edmonton home to sell from beginning to end in the current market cycle.

REVIEW THE TREND LINE
You have to have a good perspective on where the Edmonton real estate market is going; up, down or sideways. A good comprehension of the trend line will tremendously help you determine a fair market value for your home.

OBTAIN ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW FROM A 2ND PARTY
Another great way to establish the fair market value of your home is to seek the help of an Edmonton real estate specialist. A competent Realtor will help you get a Comparative Market Analysis or best known as CMA. This CMA is a report that contains details such as market stats and sold & active comparables. Best part is all of these are FREE!

Bring In More Buyers By Sprucing Up For Spring

Friday, April 17th, 2015

April showers bring May flowers. Spring brings more buyers looking for homes and we’ve collected some useful tips and tricks for maximizing your visibility.

1 - FrontYard#1. Get your garden into tip-top shape. We cannot emphasize this one enough. Clean up the debris and planting some frost resistant plants wouldn’t hurt. Even cheating and getting some silk flowers will add a pop of color and you don’t need to water them.

2 - Flower Pot

Put on your gloves and do some spring cleaning. Both inside and out. Don’t forget the sunshine is now streaming through your windows so any dust or dirt or streaks will show up on them. Wipe down the window sills too and your house will now be in top selling form.

#2. Bye Bye Gloves and Jackets. With Spring being sprung, you most likely won’t be needing those sweaters, boots and bulky winter coats until next winter, so let’s get them out of the closets. Box them up and put them into storage. This will help make your home look even less cluttered.

3 - Winter coats

#3. Brighten up the entryway. The first point of contact your buyers have with your home is the entryway. Even though flowers aren’t in bloom, you can cheat here easily. Place some silk plants in some pretty pots by the doorway. Everyone loves a cheery pop of color after a long grey winter.

4 - Entryway

#4. Bring the outdoors indoor. Spring is so much more than just colors and sunshine; it’s also beautiful fresh flowers blooming. There isn’t quite anything like the fresh burst of aroma radiating from a lilac bush in bloom. It fills you up with a sense of well being. Instead of spraying harsh artificial air fresheners, place some lilacs and other in bloom plants strategically around your home where visitors will notice them. This will also have them stop to enjoy the scent and – of course – more time spent in your home.

5 - Lilac bush

#5. Bring out the bright. While you are packing away your winter wardrobe, tuck away all the warm colors of fall and winter and throw in some bright spring colors. Putting out some new cushions and throws will completely change the feel of a room. If possible, change the curtains to add more cheerful brightness. Add in some bright candles and a table scarf and your entire room will be transformed into a cheerful, bright and happy Spring Themed room.

6 - bright living room

STATS: Walker Single-Family Homes In The Past 30 Days

Friday, April 3rd, 2015

Walker Edmonton Real Estate Market

Here are the Walker Real Estate Stats for Walker Single Family homes in the past 30 days.

As of today there are 34 single family homes for sale
In the past 30 days there were 5 single family homes sold.

That would give us a listings to sales ration of 6.8:1 significantly higher than the 4:1 ration we need for a balance market. This would indicated that there is going to be continued downward pressure on house valuation.

So for now expect house values to be dropping in the Walker area.
