Homes can be sold under almost any market conditions but when demand is low and supply is high things get tougher for home sellers. As I write this article, the active inventory of residential MLS listings in Saskatoon sits at 1,364 properties. Based on five-year averages, buyers can expect to see roughly 488 new MLS [...]
We’ve done some cool things over the years to set our listings apart from the competition. None have been quite as exciting to me as this custom-made yard sign that is now offered as part of our full-service marketing plan. Compared to past efforts we’ve made to capture and pique the interest of potential buyers [...]
It’s July 1 today. I’m not raising this point because I’m concerned you’ll otherwise miss out on the celebrations of the day. I bring it up because there’s about a ten percent chance that your listing is still being promoted with photos showing snow if it was listed between the first of January and the [...]
They say, “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression” and most of us accept this as true. It’s certainly the case in marketing homes. Your listing is really only “new” once for a very brief time. It is the time during which you have the greatest opportunity to attract the [...]
This commercial for Cullman Liquidation Center came to me by way of Tim Ayres, a Realtor from Sooke British Columbia who wrote in his Twitter stream, “This is easily the best real estate commercial in history.” Thanks for the laugh Tim!
This post makes the “just for fun” category for the featured video’s surprise ending. If you start the video, please see it through to the end. By way of Brendan King’s Twitter stream. As a licensed Asian, I found this particular misunderstanding quite amusing and so did the other Asians in my office, but discriminatory [...]
Maybe I’m getting old, but I’m not sure I get the “Twitter” thing. I first signed up to use this “social media” tool a little more than a year ago. I think I gave it a fair shot (96 tweets and a lot of listening) but it just doesn’t seem to work for me. I’m [...]
This image is a screenshot taken from the Saskatoon MLS system that displays the price history of a listed property. The home seller is clearly confused. He has adjusted his price 16 times including 9 reductions and 7 increases. That’s right. 7 increases. Oddly, the asking price is still higher than it was the day [...]
This is the lead statement in the general comments of a property first offered for sale on February 5, 2008. Act quickly!! Offers will be accepted until February 20th 2008. I have to ask myself, “Why should I act quickly?” It would seem to me that I have at least two weeks to get over [...]
The “smallest house in Toronto,” measuring just 300 square feet is being offered for sale at $173,000. That’s $577 per square foot. Sitting on a narrow lot which measures in at 7.25 feet by 113.67 feet, this little charmer has been completely renovated from top to bottom. It features a living room, a kitchen, a [...]
It may be dirty, ugly and smelly but according to this website (no longer available), it also offers “Great bones, and a great location.” Shocking as it may be, there’s something remarkably refreshing about the truthful approach that this agent has taken to marketing this property. Let’s face it, this is an ugly house and [...]
