Mar. 22, 2017 #422, 195 Kinora Glen Road NW $249,900.


Buyers from past clients always trust me right from the beginning, most of the time . This young couple, coming out of town, is looking for apartment. Of course, I put condo review condition as one of the buyer conditions. I do not feel like using CondoCheck company any more after this deal as long as my buyer can afford lawyer review, and the lawyer we use for another deal charge fair service fee with excellent work.

As buyer agent, I always send condo documents right away to their condo review company upon receipt from seller agent, so CondoCheck can work on them eariler rather than later. Buyer listened to my recommendation by using CondoCheck company. In spite of my reminder to seller agent after sending signed offer, the seller agent, the guy I know won't order disclosure letter on special assessment. When it is close to the final condition day, I reminded condo check company that there are still documents missing for review report. You know what they told me, they will mark in the report that buyers need to get more information. How could there be a final condo review report for buyer to make decision if one of the most important files is missing??? What is the attitude? No one cares! It is buyers' money, not their own money. So we told seller agent there is no deal without disclosure letter on special assessment. That is how we got the rest of few letters and of course wasted few more days. It does not matter how many times I reminded seller agent we need the file. I guess buyers should be so happy looking through all emails back and forth with condoCheck & seller agent thinking they made the right decision by using my service.

No matter how much I do for you Mr. & Ms. buyers, I can never say enough thanks to you for your trust and support of business! Thank you again.

SOLD 西北区 Kincora, 两室两卫公寓,$249,900




2017-3月22日, #422 195 KINCORA GLEN RD NW, C4092594 

又是一对陌生人,来自其它城市,直接投奔我来了。了解了对方真实购买动机,在权衡利弊之后,我们分别看了城市西南、西北两边的公寓。最后在西北区选下这套仍然很新的公寓,还带地下停车。 

整个交易中,因为卖家代理是贷款专员,同时又做经纪人,所以业务衔接上还很生涩,无缘无故平添了很多工作量:(:(。 

再次感谢买家给予的业务机会!

东南新区Mahogany社区新建房源信息

最近替在国内的客户去东南区Mahogany开发商转转看房源,就顺便给你们也分享一下。

前置双车库 double attached garage,
Jayman目前没有地了,得等到四月初才知道新的价格信息。
Excel Homes 面积2000-2400平方尺,价格49.5-55万之间。
Hopewell也有前置车库的房源,这次我都没进去。因为2016年客户建房子时去过,都不知这可开发商怎么搞的,比另外两家报价多了10万的show home,但是就看不出值那么多钱。客户来参观时,再进去。

独栋小房子 detached single family house,
Jayman的价格有35.6万、38万、38.6万、39.7万,以及40万以上。
Hopewell的价格表面看就高些,当然那主要看价格里究竟包括什么。40.4万起价、42.5万、44.6万、44.9万。不过平方Bungalow就便宜,37.9万。

DUPLEX半边的房子,仍然没有管理费。
Hopewell33.7万起价、34.8万、36.1万、37.2万。但是从今天3月15日就开始调高价格,问他们为什么,人家说卖得挺快,需求旺。

Mar. 13, 2017 137 Douglas Glen Gardens SE, $429,900



So proud of helping buyer moved up to double attached house from town house. I have always been dealing with strangers all my Real Estate career starting right from sales rep. at commercial office lease department for developer, then working as a Realtor in Centry 21 in Shanghai, now in RE/MAX Calgary. I really appreciate strangers put their trust in me with one of the biggest expenses decisions in their life. That is why I always try to put my little selfish desire away but to put theirs first :):). This couple is one of those clients. We put an offer on new home in Carrington, but eventually bought one in Douglasdale. 

I wish buyers could have trusted me more on choosing inspector as wife chose his co-worker, yeah a inspector. I always wonder he is a co-worker or a inspector, but he is co-worker & inspector. Anyway, I was not impressed by his job which only make mine a little easier as we negotiate based on inspection report. 

As long as I have done my due diligence, I always feel relief. Thank you so much, Mr. & Ms. buyer.

SOLD 东南区 Douglasdale/Glen 前置双车库,$429,900



2017-3月13日 137 DOUGLAS GLEN GD SE, C4101723,1477平方尺,地下室专修了。 

非常高兴最后终于成功帮助买家购买到卡尔加里的第二套房子。买家就是从众多经纪人当中选择了我这个陌生人,给予了我全部的信任。整个购买流程中有很多的答疑解惑,从最初在预算内选择哪些社区开始,到如何对比户型。买家妻子是为很细腻的女人,总能不断地挑战我的专业水平 :)。在和这对夫妻大交道时,应该说我给予了更多的耐心。毕竟市场不是很好,买家会有很多疑虑。 

在社区最后确定下来以后,其它的就水到渠成了。中间的小插曲是房检,因为对方雇佣的前老外同事,同时也做房检。我刚开始一听就心里打鼓,这人行吗?不是全职房检?anyway,用过之后,告诉买家人后不要再用了,毕竟个人感觉水平一般。 

最后给砍掉$18,400的价格,还得非常感激买家最后给予得推荐信。

SOLD 西北区 Capital Hill 百年老房子,Infill 重建好地,$359,900


2017-01-20, 1406 17 AVE NW, C4090379,一层半老房子,11.4米前脸宽,R-C2 lot,占地面积418平方米。不行去SAIT. 

这套房子,我们标价一直很准确,从来没有缺过看房子的。最初因为一直有租客在里面住的,所以很不好安排看房,错失了最佳的时机。等最后租客搬走了,房子空置以后,又因为卖方的心态较高,再一次错失了时机。结果我们的买家买了邻居刚上市的房子。之间收到了书面的几个cash offer,也有买家的口头offer,我们都没有走到一起。最后,卖方调整了心态,才卖出去的。

SOLD 市中心,两室两卫公寓,带地下停车 $359,900



2017年1月10日, 1053 10 ST SW, c4092034 

买家从卡尔加里那么多经纪人找出我,帮助他们父母购买市中心公寓,因为觉得把这件大事托付给我放心。(中间有其它故事,并不想在这里提。) 

买家自己觉得知道要买什么公寓了,我们就去看了。我其实在去之前就知道,绝大多数买家自己认为可行的那套房子,我99.99%是不会建议买得,因为他们太单纯,没有看过太多的房子、并没有懂得太多的专业信息,从而用来对比选择。 

总之,看过房子了,买家问我对那栋楼的意见,我还真不会说话,也太诚实,因为我原本就不怎么撒谎的一个人儿,成为基督徒以后又更不能说谎话。我就愣愣地回复买家:“这个,我就不能说了”(我心中想,你看怎么样,我就知道你们选得房子,我是不会通过的)。后来,还是于心不忍,毕竟一码归一码,还是得给买家负责。我就告诉他们,我几乎不会建议这套单元,因为下面是繁华马路,楼对面又是无家可归人士收留所,开发商口碑是建中档公寓的,以价格取胜,质量一搬。 

好像我们还真给这栋楼的哪套单元出offer了,是套有景致的单元。因为他们对于价格期待的太狠,和别的买家抢offer的价格,都比正常谈判的要低,所以我们就没有拿下。又给另外一套出offer,价格没谈拢。最后的这套,大家还几乎都满意,就买下了。 

(其实,想给买家们提个醒。经纪人绝对是层次不一样的,有时因为你没有遇到过好的,就认为大家都一样差。祝你们好运!)

二月份房地产市场报告

市场转换中  --- --- 独立屋销售火爆!成为二月市场主力



历经2017年前两个月,卡尔加里的独立屋产品段持续引领二手房市场慢慢向增长市场转换。民宅共成交1,342套,仍然比长线均值低19%!!但是比疲软的过去两年要强。
在销售量慢慢上滑的同时,二月份独立屋库存可售房源持续减缓,导致目前市场供给房源在市场上的月份降到2.4个月份,并没有给价格下滑增加什么压力。本月市场基准价没什么变动$501,900,就比去年同期低1%,但是比今年一月份略微高一点儿
最近啊,能感觉到市场变好的迹象,很多卖方都觉察到市场的微妙变化,开始增添房子能够卖掉的信心。另外一波儿卖方正在紧密观望,看看是不是今年春天的市场将会有超常多的挂牌房源。现在市场上供给不多,卖家仍然需要对于价格定位现实些。
二月份总体来说库存可售房源都有些减缓,慢慢向更加稳定的市场转换。总体供给为3.4 个月,比2016年的5个月降低了很多,同时售出/新挂牌比率去年几乎是二月份中少有的低点39%,今年二月份是55 %。(知道温哥华、多伦多是多少吗?100%甚至更高,温哥华前一次是110%,在售/可售都是10000套以上)
伴随着成交量的增加,新挂牌和库存可售房源的均衡调整,乐观的迹象房地产市场开始转暖。
"房地产市场的转换看来是越来越明显了,然而大家一定要注意这次的转换主要是在独立屋产品段的带动、以及劳动力市场的稳定发展”。"很需要很长时间,其它房屋产品段才能被带动起来,实现价格的真正复苏!最好的消息是:各方面迹象都表明市场在转换”。
