Hi friends! I hope you’re all enjoying your Summer! Here’s your market update for July! ☀️

The market continues to normalize, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers 🙌🏻

🏡 Chestermere:
• 47 homes sold
• 134 new listings (almost 3 new listings for every home sold)
• 318 active listings
• 53 average days on market
• Benchmark price: $706,000
• 6.77 months of supply

Across Calgary, CREB reported that inventory remains above long-term trends, helping ease the tight market we’ve experienced over the last few years. While sales have moderated from record highs, they’re still stronger than historical averages, and home prices have remained resilient, especially for detached homes.

What does this mean?
✔️ Buyers have more inventory, more time to compare homes, and greater negotiating power than they had a year ago.
✔️ Sellers are still achieving strong prices, but strategic pricing and great presentation are more important than ever as buyers have more choices.

With the Bank of Canada holding its overnight rate at 2.25%, borrowing costs have stabilized, which is helping boost buyer confidence. CREB expects market conditions to remain balanced through the rest of the summer, with steady activity and healthy competition for well-priced, move-in-ready homes.

If you’re wondering how these market changes affect your home’s value or your buying power, I’d be happy to have a conversation 😄❤️🏡

Enjoy the rest of your Summer!

☀️ June Market Update | Chestermere & Lakefront Living 🌊🏡

Summer has arrived, Stampede season is here 🤠, and the Chestermere market is staying active!

• 56 homes sold

• Average Days on Market: 51
• Benchmark Price: $705,800

Across Calgary, June sales improved from May, showing buyers are still active despite increased inventory. A more balanced market means buyers have more choice and negotiating power, while sellers who price strategically are still achieving successful sales.

As we head further into July, the combination of beautiful weather, the Calgary Stampede, and motivated buyers makes this a fantastic time to make your move, whether you’re buying your dream home or preparing to sell.

Hope your all enjoying the beautiful weather & your Summer so far! ❤️

Alberta is on the brink of one of the biggest demographic shifts in history and it’s important we talk about it! 🤗

📊 Alberta’s population has now surpassed 5 million, and by 2051, it’s projected to reach nearly 6.9 million. (Alberta.ca⁠)

📊 Today, approximately 1 in 6 Albertans are age 65 or older, and that number will continue to grow as the Baby Boomer generation ages. (CIHI⁠)

What does this mean for real estate?

🏡 More downsizing
🏡 More estate and probate sales
🏡 Greater demand for accessible homes
🏡 More families helping aging parents make important housing decisions

One conversation every family should have is about an Enduring Power of Attorney and Personal Directive. Having these documents in place before they’re needed can make managing finances, healthcare decisions and even the sale of a home much less stressful.

I’ve had the privilege of helping families through many of these life transitions. Real estate isn’t just about buying and selling homes, it’s about helping people navigate life’s biggest changes with knowledge, compassion and a plan.

I wanted to share something that stood out to me from a recent conference I attended, not just about technology, but about something much deeper:

trust.

Right now, there’s a lot of uncertainty around AI and real estate. Many of my clients are asking:
Can AI tell me what my home is worth?
Do I still need a Realtor?
How accurate are online estimates?
And those are fair questions.
Because we are living in a time where technology is moving faster than certainty! And it’s a little scary!

Here are a few important realities to note:

📊 Studies show AI tools and online platforms are now used by 70%+ of consumers when researching major financial decisions
📊 Over 90% of buyers start their home search online
📊 Yet 88–90% of buyers and sellers still choose to work with a real estate professional

And when it comes to accuracy specifically:

📉 Automated home value estimates (like online valuation tools) can vary widely often with a typical error range of around 2–10% depending on the property, data available, and local market conditions
📉 That gap can represent tens of thousands of dollars in either direction in today’s market
Even the most advanced AI systems and valuation models are still limited by one thing:
They only know what is input into the system not what is happening on the ground in real time with real people making the real decisions and influencing the current market.
AI can give you numbers.
But it can’t give you full context.
An online estimate might say your home is worth $850,000.But it doesn’t understand:

✔️ The premium buyers are paying for specific locations like lake access or quiet streets
✔️ The value of renovations, upgrades, or layout flow
✔️ Off-market activity or private deals you never see online
✔️ Real buyer feedback from showings this week
✔️ How negotiation strategy is shifting in real time based on inventory and demand

That’s where the gap is.
And that’s where experience matters.

Do I use AI? Yes, absolutely! I use AI tools and data everyday! But I combine them with real world insight, local knowledge, and lived market experience.

When I help you price or buy a home, I’m looking at:

🔹 Real sold data (not just active listings)
🔹 Current competition and buyer behaviour
🔹 Neighbourhood-specific trends
🔹 Feedback from other agents and showings
🔹 Your personal goals and timing
🔹 What’s happening right now that no algorithm can fully capture.

Because real estate isn’t just data.
It’s timing, strategy, negotiation, and people. And there was one word that kept coming up again and again at this conference, and that was…

Trust.

Not technology. Not AI. Not automation.

Trust.

Online tools are helpful. AI is powerful. And both absolutely have a place.
But they are starting points—not decision makers.
To me, this is the most important truth right now:
AI doesn’t replace Realtors. It highlights the value of a good one.
Because in a world where information is everywhere, what people really need isn’t more data.
It’s clarity. Guidance. And someone they trust to interpret it all properly.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to do for you ❤️
