Can the Weather Ruin Your Month?

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Bamber Realty

With all of the cold weather we've been having in Western Canada, it got me thinking about how the weather affects buyers. I suppose for those who are forced to buy, due to a job related move or transfer weather doesn't really make a difference. From experience, however, I know that a snowy day in October or April can lead to a quiet phone or slow open house, especially in the Calgary real estate market. For those who can afford the time, it seems that buyers would rather wait for the sunshine before venturing out house hunting.

 

As always, visit my Calgary Real Estate website for further information regarding the Calgary Real Estate market.

I know what you mean, with the cold weather.  I'm so wrapped up at the computer, I can barely type.

When it's really cold and not everyone wants to get out and buy, I think some buyers will get some really great deals.  It's not a time of year when a lot of people are out shopping (for homes) ...
We actually had a busy Winter last year ... let's see what happens this time around.

You Guys!

Traditionally winter is slow. That's a self full-filling prophecy. Get off your asses and get creative.

How's this for creative . . . advertise free Starbuck's coffee at an open house? Get one of those 10 cup to go packages.

The sun is shining this weekend, thankfully! Good luck.
