Park in Someret with sculpture and gazeboWhen home buyers ask me about the neighbourhoods in Calgary, depending on what their home buying needs are, I usually let them in on one of my favorites... Somerset. 

As it stands today, Friday November 13th, 2009, homes range from $179,900 to $274,900 for condo apartments and townhouses.  Single family home listings start from $374,900 and go up to $499,900.  

The bottom end for single family homes in this community has steadily increased over the past few months.  60 Days ago, the least expensive home sold for $315,000.  Now the lowest priced single family home on the Somerset real estate market is $374,900.  The reason for this... home buyers looking to get into the market are snapping up the most affordable homes.

Somerset Calgary AlbertaWhether you're looking for a starter home or thinking about moving up, Somerset has much to offer.  For starters, it's the first stop on the LRT in south Calgary, so if you work downtown, the first seat on the train could be all yours for the morning rush.  Besides the C-Train, practically every other convenience is right near by.  Schools, shopping, restaurants, the movie theatre, Home Depot plus all of the major grocery stores are within walking distance.   Add to that the South Fish Creek Recreation Association, and there's no excuse for not having something to do... this fantastic complex houses the YMCA, the library, hockey rinks, and the local farmer's market.

Hi Bernice,

Well, I'm sold! Actually I live in the deep SW myself, practically on Fish Creek, and I love all the things you mention about this corner of Calgary. It's a great place for fun, recreation, families, and even commuting! I have kids in post-secondary, and having the train so close by is a real asset for them--no 3rd car necessary.

It's also nice to see the market more balanced out this year. I really like your use of graphs. It's very visual!

Thanks Deena.  I love South West Calgary.  If you don't have to work downtown, there's really no need to go further north than Anderson.  Everthing's down here.  Let me know if you have homes staged in the area.  I'd love to see your work.
