Whether it’s for the proximity to Calgary’s downtown, its incredible choice of recreation, or how it feels like a small town despite being so close to the city, Lake Chestermere is a popular choice among home buyers. In fact, it can sometimes be difficult to find a home in Chestermere, especially out on the lakefront where everyone wants to be.One of the best ways to find great places to live in Chestermere is to have direct access to Calgary’s incredible multiple listing service. The MLS is a vast compilation of real estate listings from brokers across Calgary. It allows real estate buyers to find all available properties without going through the hassle of hopping between brokers. Instead, a buyer can work with a broker they trust to secure any property listed on the MLS.  All  the ho...

  n short the Chestermere real estate market is great until you get to above $650,000 . The $650,000 to $700,000 price range is a bit overstocked. However from $800,000 to 1 Million the supply is scarce. Over 1 million has a large supply but this covers so many different types of homes, from acreages to lakefront that it is difficult for statistics to determine what the absorption will be. We are Chestermere Real Estate Advisors with Engel & Völkers. We have been real estate specialists in Chestermere since 1993. If you want an evaluation on your home please contact us. We will know what special features set your home apart from the others. We can use our marketing tools, such as video, drone video and photos, high quality flyers, and online marketing to set your home apart from others.

Things appear to be levelling out for the Chestermere Real Estate Market in most price ranges.  There is an oversupply of townhouses in the $300,000-$350,000 price range and in homes over the one million dollar range.  Other than that the market is stabilizing, although at lower prices than before.  In fact this is a great oppportunity to jump into the market.  The higher the priced home, the more value it has lost, so if you are upgrading it is a great opportunity to move into your dream home.   Chestermere is a lake community located on Calgary's East border on the TransCanada Highway.  To learn more about the market, the homes, and the people who live in Chestermere  visit our website.  https://www.chestermererealestate.com.Marjorie McKayResident Chestermere Real Estate Advisor403-20...

The Chestermere Real Estate Market is showing signs of stabilization. As a Real Estate Advisor with Engel & Völkers, we specialize in Chestermere. We study the supply and the demand to determine which price ranges are oversupplied, and which price ranges will sell more quickly. Since March we have seen an improvement in the price range $550,000 to $600,000 . In the 90 days ending March 2019 there were 30 unsold listings and only 2 sales.  In the same time period ending November 30, 2019, there were 26 unsold listings and 7 sales. Bringing the months to absorb the unsold listings down to 11 months from 45.Townhouses in the $300-350k range are still oversupplied with 12 on the market and only 1 sold in the past 90 days. This would leave us with 36 months supply. In the same period ending ...

The McKay family has moved our real estate practice to Engel & Voelkers Calgary. After working with another leading franchise in the real estate industry we were very surprised to find out that Engel & Voelkers offers more exposure, access to more and better tools, and an environment that supports us as area specialists. Engel and Voelkers believes in three core values. The first one is competence. We have always believed that an area specialist is your best choice when choosing a real estate agent to represent you. The public expects that when they call an agent about a home in an area, that that agent will know the market, have been in the homes in that market and can help them with their decision. Exclusivity is the second core value of Engel & Voelkers. What impressed us is that E &...

Mortgage Insurance and Leverage in Real Estate. By Marjorie and Doug McKay on Monday, March 14th, 2016 in Buying a Home, Info Articles. No Comments Leverage gives the user a maximum advantage whether it is physically lifting a large object or rapidly building equity in a home. In the case of the home, the high loan-to-value mortgage allows the profits made to be greater than simply the cash invested. A $350,000 home can be purchased on an insured loan with a 5% down payment of $17,500. If the home appreciates at 2% a year, in seven years the equity will grow to $87,999 due to the appreciation and the amortization of the mortgage. That would be a remarkable rate of return. You would have to save $1,466 per month for 60 months to have the same net worth! Without mortgage insurance you wou...

Chestermere housing prices at highest level since 2009.  It makes no sense that housing prices are rising all around the Calgary region and not in Chestermere.  According to the Calgary Real Estate Board prices are at the highest level since 2009, which is a far back as this chart goes.  I suspect that we are getting close or exceeding 2007 levels, but I have not yet found the data to prove this.  The Chestermere market tends to lag behind the Calgary market as prices are rising, but we are certainly part of that market.  With Chestermere boardering Calgary, it is a very viable option for homebuyers trying to avoid higher prices and higher density in Calgary. Chestermere is Calgary's closest neighbour.  With great choices for schools, the recreation provided by a 750 acre lake, it is a ...

Harvey's, Dairy Queen, and a new Vietnamese restaurant are coming to Chestermere.  Lakeside Greens is also doing some renovations to their restaurant and renaming it The Pointe.  After a long shutdown the Landing on East Chestermere Drive will reopen.  There is also a new Starbucks in town with a drivethru window.  It will be great to have more choices when dining out.

If you are in Chestermere during the week at lunch time you should  take in the buffet at the Tandori King. Located West of Safeway in Chestermere Station.  Just 10.99 for a great selectionnof Indian Food.  They do amazing things with vegetables and they always serve warm naan bread with your meal.  The food is good, fresh and the restaurant is very clean. It has changed owners since it originally opened and it has improved greatly with the current owners. In Chestermere we are always saying we want more restaurants. We really need to support the ones we have. This is a nice change from pizza, which seems to be the major choice in Chestemrere. Not many restaurants are open for lunch. So please give them a try. There are lots of regulars that we see when we are in for lunch, so we are n...
