November sales are up slightly from the same time in 2018, posting 13 more sales than November 2018. However, the number of YTD sales in Red Deer overall is lagging by 53 compared with last years YTD at this time. This isn't the best news if you're trying to sell, as more inventory means more competition, likely due to a number of re-listings & homes returning to the market that failed to sell.

Sales & overall buyer activity at the higher price points has been slow, especially over $600,000. Red Deer experienced just two sales in November, both being maturer homes (built in the 70's) & not of new build.

Real Property Reports

Real estate transactions almost always require a current Real Property Report (RPR). An RPR is a legal document an Alberta Land Surveyor prepares. It’s basically a high level drawing of the property, the boundaries, and the buildings and structures on it, so buyers know exactly what they’re buying.

An RPR contains:

• legal description and municipal address of the property
• date of land title search and date RPR was done
• Certificate of Title (land title) number and names of registered owner(s)
• location and description of all buildings and structures (e.g. decks, fences) with dimensions, directions and distances from the property boundaries
• location and dimensions of any visible encroachments (i.e. buildings or

What is a Conditionally Sold Listing?

A property with this status means that someone is currently in the process of buying the home. They've written an offer "Conditional" to typically financing, inspections, etc. Upon receiving an offer, a seller has the option to advertise their property as either Conditional or Active. Due to the number of failed mortgage applications, a seller may choose to remain Active on MLS®, with no indication that they are currently pending a sale. However, there is significant value to a seller in marking their property Conditional (when there is no clause) on the MLS® (Multiple Listing Service).

Clauses

Sometimes there are instances that the home may be sold, but the current buyers have a clause where they would need

October sales are down slightly from the same time in 2018, posting just 6 fewer sales in 2019. However, the number of active listings is up 17.9%. This isn't the best news if you're trying to sell, as more inventory means more competition, likely due to a number of re-listings & homes returning to the market that failed to sell. 

The market differs largely on which price point you're in. Well priced homes that show well are typically selling within 30 days under the $400,000 price point. Sales & overall buyer activity at the higher price points has been slow, especially over $600,000. Red Deer experienced just two sales in October, despite high levels of inventory. We're starting to see a disparity between what buyers want to pay, & what sellers

We believe there’s a step when buying a home that is absolutely critical. In a market with high inventory it’s even more important. Unfortunately, most people totally miss this step we call Market Education. Market Education is about systematically getting out & viewing homes, not for the purpose of buying but rather to educate yourself on the market, establishing a baseline for what your price range affords you, & refining your criteria. This is a step that the vast majority of agents will skip thinking it’s a waste of their time, however experience has taught us, this simple investment of time up front comes with a number of benefits.

1. Number one is confidence – By getting out and viewing homes in a no pressure environment for the purpose of
