The summertime rush has slowly come to close, leaving in its wake many satisfied buyers, sellers and investors. It was a great season for Calgary real estate. Thankfully the good times do not have to end yet, we’re simply transitioning into another exciting season for the real estate market!

If your home is still on the market, don’t worry: fall is also a great time sell, buy or invest. Here at Team Ken Richter we work tirelessly every year, no matter what the season, to get your home sold at the right time, for the right price.

If you’re feeling anxious about not having sold your home yet, here are two things to consider to help give your home the competitive advantage this autumn:

1). Price: We always give our clients a suggestion on what their listing price should be. Ken Richter’s 35+ years of experience in the market helps make sure you are priced fairly and competitively. We want the seller to come out on top, but you still need to be realistic. If your home has been sitting on the market for longer than the average amount of time, it may be time to have another discussion on how it can be priced more competitively while still protecting your interests.

2). Appeal: While some people have a great imagination for what renovations and fixes could completely transform a property, others don’t. If there are problem areas with the home, it may be worth addressing them now. Have them fixed for the buyer instead of waiting for a buyer who will fix it themselves. Even a fresh coat of paint or a good front yard clean up can make a difference.

There are always things that can be done to help your home get sold, so let’s work together! Contact us today at [email protected] or 403-630-6363.

The most inviting homes rarely come together all at once. Instead, they evolve slowly, layer by layer as each room is refined over time. That’s the idea behind the micro-makeover: a series of small, intentional updates that transform a space without requiring a full-scale renovation. Rather than waiting until you have the big budget, the contractor and months to spare, a micro makeover lets you focus on one project at a time.
