Find the right realtor to help you move into your desired neighbourhood.
If you’re thinking about buying a home in Calgary, we suggest you find a realtor that’s familiar with the neighbourhood you’re looking at moving into. The local real estate market in is veering towards a seller’s market right now with limited inventory and prices continuing to rise. If you’re looking at moving to a particular neighbourhood, finding a realtor that knows the community and resident’s may just be the inside edge you need to find your next dream home.
Getting in to your desired community can lead to multiple offer scenarios, especially when looking at mature, inner city communities as these are the places that tend to have limited inventory. Having a realtor that can present your offer in a way that speaks to the seller may just be what it takes to help you win your home. It’s not always the highest price that wins the bid! It can be as simple as showing the seller that the buyers value the character of the neighbourhood that kept them in their home for so many years.
They’ll have intimate information of the cool community gems you need to try, the shops that are a must visit, the parks and community organizations worth checking out and anything else that you can only glean from spending time in the area. For example, Bowness is an in demand, inner city neighbourhood in Calgary with SO MANY amazing aspects. Bowness Park is home to one of the few skating loops in the city, ice skating and cross country skiing in the winter and canoeing, kayaking, paddle boating and biking in the summer. It’s also home to a number of unique shops and restaurants like Yoga in Bowness, Angels (with the best burgers and milkshakes!) and Cadence Coffee and they are host to one of the cities most engaging summer festivals, Tour de Bowness (sponsored by Bow Cycle). And if you have a growing family, Bowness is also home to a number of clubs and activities for everyone, including Soccer, Yoga, Hockey, Music lessons and Pickle Ball!
