FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET – TRULY CUSTOM BUILT This is a rare opportunity to own a home that was custom built by the original owner, a superintendent at a construction company, where every detail and every layout decision was planned ahead with intention and precision. This isn’t a cookie-cutter build—this is a thoughtfully designed home that reflects experience, quality, and long-term vision (NO POLY-B). With approximately 3,000 sq ft of total living space, there’s plenty of room for families to grow, gather, and enjoy. Built in 1998, the home has been exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully upgraded over the years. Major updates include a new furnace (2018), two new hot water tanks (2018), and a new roof (2018) with approximately 25 years of warranty remaining, offering true peace of mind for the next owner. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features a rare and cozy private fireplace - a standout feature that creates a warm, relaxing retreat at the end of the day. The rest of the home follows a smart, efficient, and well-balanced layout, designed for real life, not just looks. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room, making the main floor perfect for entertaining and everyday living alike. Main-floor laundry adds convenience, central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable through the summer, and the large west-facing backyard is ideal for pets, kids, BBQs, and long summer evenings. Located on a safe, quiet circular cul-de-sac in an established and family-friendly neighborhood, this home is just blocks from Lake Chestermere, nearby schools, and the golf course. Enjoy the welcoming community and small-town charm of Chestermere, while being only minutes from Calgary and all major amenities. Adding even more value, select items may be included in the sale, including custom stained-glass cabinetry in the bonus room, garage cabinets, and the pool table in the basement—making this home move-in ready with thoughtful extras already in place. Homes built with this level of care, foresight, and craftsmanship rarely come to market. If you’re looking for quality, space, and location—this one checks every box.

Buyer’s Tips

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 02:56:38 GMT

1. Buy the Lifestyle, Not Just the House

Most buyer regret doesn’t come from the house—it comes from the location and daily life.

Ask yourself:

How long is the commute in real life, not on Google Maps?
Are schools, shopping, parks, and recreation aligned with your stage of life?
How will this area feel 5–10 years from now, not just today?

A perfect house in the wrong neighborhood is still the wrong buy.

2. Get Financially Comfortable — Not Maxed Out

Just because a lender approves you for a number doesn’t mean you should spend it.

I recommend buyers:

Leave room for rate changes, kids, career shifts, and repairs
Budget for property tax increases, utilities, insurance, and maintenance
Plan for the first year costs people forget: window coverings, landscaping, furniture, small fixes

Comfort beats bragging rights every time.

3. Learn to Tell the Difference Between Cosmetic vs Structural

Paint, flooring, fixtures—easy.
Roof, foundation, plumbing, grading—expensive.

A seasoned buyer focuses on:

Roof age
Furnace & hot water tank life
Foundation cracks (type and direction matter)
Drainage and lot grading
Electrical panel capacity

You can change almost everything in a home—except the bones.

4. Don’t Fall in Love Before You Understand the Resale

Even if this is a “forever home,” life happens.

Think like a future buyer:

Does it have functional bedroom/bathroom count?
Is the layout practical or quirky?
Is it over-customized for the area?
Would you hesitate if you saw it listed again?

Smart buyers always buy with one eye on resale.

5. Understand the Micro-Market, Not Just Headlines

Market headlines lie by averaging everything together.

What matters:

This street
This home style
This price bracket
This neighborhood pocket

Two homes 5 minutes apart can behave like completely different markets.

A good agent should show you:

Recent comparable sales
Days on market trends
How much leverage buyers actually have right now

6. Be Strategic in Negotiations (Not Emotional)

I’ve seen more deals lost over ego than money.

Good strategy means:

Knowing when to push and when to protect the deal
Not fighting over small items and losing big concessions
Understanding seller motivation (timeline > price sometimes)

Winning the negotiation isn’t about paying the least—it’s about getting the right terms.

7. Never Skip Due Diligence to “Win”

I’ve watched buyers regret this for decades.

Always protect yourself with:

Home inspection (even in competitive markets)
Condo document review when applicable
Clear financing conditions
Understanding zoning, permits, and future development nearby

A house you win but regret is not a win.

8. Trust Experience Over Noise

Friends, family, social media, and headlines will all give opinions.

But:

Markets change
Rules change
Risk shifts

The buyers who do best listen to someone who’s lived through multiple cycles, not just the current one.

9. The Best Time to Buy Is When It Makes Sense for Your Life

I’ve sold homes in every kind of market.

The happiest buyers:

Bought when they were personally ready
Planned for the long term
Didn’t try to time the market perfectly

Time in the market has always beaten timing the market.

Seller’s Tips

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 19:30:20 GMT

1. Price It for the Market You’re In — Not the One You Remember

One of the biggest mistakes I see sellers make is pricing their home based on a market they remember, not the market we’re actually in. What your neighbor sold for last year — or what homes were getting at the peak — doesn’t matter to today’s buyers. They’re comparing your home to what’s available right now.
When a home is priced correctly for the current market, it creates urgency and competition. When it’s priced for the past, it sits — and sitting costs you leverage. The goal isn’t to test the market. The goal is to be the best option buyers see the moment your home hits the market.

2. First Impressions Are Everything (Online Comes Before In-Person)

Buyers today make decisions fast — and most of them happen before a showing is ever booked. If your home doesn’t stand out online with great photos, clean spaces, and strong presentation, buyers simply move on to the next listing.
First impressions aren’t about being perfect — they’re about being memorable. The goal is to make buyers feel like your home is the obvious choice the moment they see it. When the presentation is right, everything else becomes easier: showings, offers, and negotiations.

3. Fix Small Issues — Don’t Let Buyers Assume Big Problems

Sellers often overlook small issues because they feel insignificant. But buyers don’t know your home — they only know what they can see. When minor repairs are left undone, buyers start assuming there are bigger problems hiding behind the walls.
Spending a few hundred dollars before you list can protect you from losing thousands during negotiations. Clean, well-maintained homes feel safer to buyers — and safe buyers pay more and negotiate less.

4. Don’t Renovate Blindly

One of the most expensive mistakes sellers make is renovating without a plan. Just because something costs a lot doesn’t mean buyers will pay for it. Over-upgrading or choosing bold, personal finishes can actually narrow your buyer pool.
The goal before selling isn’t perfection — it’s appeal. Focus on clean, neutral, and well-maintained. Smart, targeted updates almost always outperform full remodels when it comes to return on investment.

5. Emotion Is the Enemy of a Good Sale

Your home holds memories — but buyers don’t see those. They see square footage, layout, condition, and price. When sellers take feedback personally, they often make decisions that work against them.
The most successful sales happen when sellers stay focused on the end goal, not the comments along the way. Detachment creates clarity — and clarity leads to stronger decisions and better results.

6. Be Ready for the First Week — That’s When the Magic Happens

Your home gets the most exposure and excitement in the first 7 to 10 days. That’s when serious buyers are watching, comparing, and ready to act. If pricing or presentation is off, that momentum disappears fast.
Price reductions later don’t recreate urgency — they raise questions. A well-prepared, properly priced launch puts you in control from day one.

7. Flexibility Often Beats Firmness

Many great deals fall apart over things that don’t actually affect the seller’s bottom line. Possession timing, minor repairs, or small concessions can often unlock a stronger overall outcome.
Being flexible doesn’t mean giving in — it means understanding leverage. The goal is a clean, secure sale, not winning every small battle.

8. Choose an Agent for Strategy, Not Promises

The right agent doesn’t just list your home — they position it. Pricing strategy, launch timing, negotiation planning, and buyer psychology matter far more than flashy promises.
Ask how your home will be positioned against the competition and what the plan is if the market pushes back. Experience shows up in preparation, not slogans.

Detached Home Market Report January 2026

Calgary Detached Home Market Update — January 2026

Detached homes in Calgary are holding steady as we start the year.

While overall market activity has slowed seasonally, detached homes remain the tightest segment, supported by limited supply and consistent demand.

Detached Home Highlights

• Benchmark price: ~$750,000

• Inventory remains below long-term averages

• Months of supply: under 3 months

• Prices largely stable, with softness mainly in areas with new construction

Bottom line: detached homes are still resilient, but buyers are seeing slightly more breathing room than last year.

Thinking of buying or selling a detached home in Calgary this year? Strategy matters more than ever.

Market Report November 2025

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 22:09:01 GMT

🏡 Calgary & Area Housing Market Report — November 2025

Posted: December 1, 2025

November brought another month of shifting conditions across the Calgary real estate market. Higher inventory levels, softer sales activity, and year-over-year price adjustments continue to signal a transition toward more balanced conditions — especially in the multi-family segments. Detached homes remain the most stable category, though performance varies across districts.

Below is a breakdown of what happened across Calgary and surrounding communities in November 2025.

---

📊 Calgary Market Overview

The pace of sales eased again in November, with 1,553 residential transactions, marking a 13% year-over-year decline. At the same time, 2,251 new listings came to market, pushing overall inventory up to 5,581 active listings — nearly 28% higher than last year.

With more supply and slower demand, the months of supply rose to 3.6, the highest level for November in several years. This shift has taken some pressure off prices city-wide.

Total Residential Benchmark Price: $559,000

While this is down from the peak earlier in the year, long-term values remain resilient, supported mostly by detached and semi-detached activity.

---

🏠 Detached Homes

Detached properties continue to lead Calgary’s housing market in stability, though supply gains are softening price growth across certain districts.

Key Numbers – Detached (Calgary)

*Sales:** 823 (↓ 4.5% YoY)

*New Listings:** 1,255

*Inventory:** 2,444

*Months of Supply:** ~3.0

*Benchmark Price:** $733,000 (↓ ~2.1% YoY)

### District-Level Performance – Detached

Some areas are seeing notable resilience, while others face downward adjustments tied to new construction and higher inventory levels.

| --------------- | --------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |

| City Centre | $944,500 | ↓1.1% | Most stable inner-city performance. |

| North West | $767,600 | ↓0.9% | One of the strongest districts. |

| West | $943,000 | ↓1.7% | Healthy demand, moderate supply. |

| South | $705,300 | ↓2.3% | Balanced conditions. |

| South East | $694,500 | ↓3.0% | Supply rising due to new builds. |

| North | $650,400 | ↓4.2% | Higher listings impacting prices. |

| East | $507,000 | ↓4.7% | Weaker demand; more inventory. |

| North East | $571,900 | ↓4.9% | Most year-over-year price pressure. |

Summary: Detached homes remain steady, but district-specific supply levels are shaping price behaviour. West, NW, and City Centre continue to outperform; East and NE face the sharpest corrections.

---

🏘️ Semi-Detached (Duplexes)

Semi-detached homes remain relatively balanced, with modest price adjustments and stable demand.

Key Numbers – Semi-Detached

*Sales:** 166

*Months of Supply:** 3.29

*Benchmark Price:** $671,700

*YoY Change:** ↓0.5%

Semi-detached homes saw one of the smallest year-over-year price declines in the city — evidence that this category continues to offer strong mid-market value.

---

🏡 Row / Townhomes

Row homes experienced the most significant pullback in activity and pricing among the low-density product types.

Key Numbers – Row Homes

*Sales:** 257 (↓22% YoY)

*Months of Supply:** 3.51

*Benchmark Price:** $424,400

*YoY Change:** ↓6.2%

Higher supply and competition between new builds and resales continue to weigh on this segment.

---

🏢 Apartment / Condominiums

Condos remain the softest part of the market as new purpose-built rentals, rising resale listings, and higher investor supply keep conditions firmly balanced.

Key Numbers – Condos

*Sales:** 307 (↓28% YoY)

*Months of Supply:** 5.5

*Benchmark Price:** $309,300

*YoY Change:** ↓7.2%

This is the most buyer-friendly segment in Calgary right now.

---

🌤️ Market Outlook

*Balance Returning:** After several years of tight conditions, Calgary is seeing more balance, driven by rising inventory rather than falling demand.

*Price Trends:** Detached and semi-detached remain stable. Townhomes and condos will likely continue to see modest downward adjustments.

*Supply Factors:** New construction, especially in North, East, and South East districts, is adding meaningful choice for buyers.

*Buyer Advantage:** Motivated sellers + more inventory = more negotiating power for buyers compared with the last two years.

*Seller Strategy:** Pricing and presentation are now essential. The “list high, wait, and expect multiple offers” strategy no longer applies in higher-supply segments.

---

✔️ Final Thoughts

November showed a market finding its footing. Detached homes remain the anchor of stability, while multi-family segments offer opportunities for buyers seeking value. As supply continues to normalize, expect a calmer, more predictable market heading into 2026.

🚲 How My 3R Bicycle Program Reflects My Values as a Realtor

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 22:24:38 GMT

By Phuong Trang – Your Chestermere & Calgary Realtor

For me, real estate has always been about people — not just properties. Every home I help buy or sell represents someone’s next chapter, and I take pride in being part of that journey. The same care and purpose inspired my 3R Bicycle Program, a local initiative that focuses on Recycling, Repairing, and Reusing bikes to give them new life in our community.

When I started this program, I didn’t imagine how much it would connect me to Chestermere and Calgary residents. Over the years, we’ve refurbished and donated hundreds of bicycles — many to workers who needed transportation, and others to families who just wanted to enjoy time outdoors.

That hands-on experience taught me something powerful: every detail matters. Whether I’m tightening a bolt on a bike or preparing a home for sale, the same mindset applies — care, precision, and pride in every step.

As a Realtor who’s lived in Chestermere for over 20 years, I understand the unique character of each neighborhood, the families who live here, and the dreams that drive them. I use that knowledge to guide my clients with honesty, experience, and attention to detail.

The 3R Bicycle Program is more than community service — it’s a reflection of my belief that small efforts can make a big difference. In real estate, those efforts show up in the form of:

* Noticing the little things others might overlook in a home inspection,

* Helping sellers fix minor issues to improve their property value,

* And always taking the time to ensure every client feels supported from start to finish.

I’m proud to serve Chestermere and Calgary — helping my community move forward, one home and one bike at a time.

If you’re planning to buy or sell a home, I’d love to help you reach your goals with the same dedication that drives my work in the community.

*New listings** remained elevated at 3,478, pushing inventory to 6,661 units—the highest August level since 2019

What It All Means — Blog Takeaways

For Buyers:

Greater *choice and negotiation power**, especially for condos and row homes where supply is high and prices are dipping.

*Detached homes** in desirable areas still hold value, offering opportunities for upsizers leveraging equity.

For Sellers:

Longer typical *days on market** and more conditional offers—success rests on competitive pricing, staging, and hyper-local market savvy.

* Sellers in high-demand neighbourhoods (City Centre, West) can still find resilience; those in North East or East should adjust expectations.

Overall Tone:

August’s numbers confirm a Calgary housing market shifting toward *balance**, offering both opportunities and challenges.

Calgary & Area Real Estate Market Report - July 2025

Sun, 03 Aug 2025 16:02:42 GMT

Presented by MetroCity Calgary

The latest housing statistics from the Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB®) show continued shifts in the real estate landscape across Calgary and its surrounding areas. July 2025 brought with it increased inventory, stable pricing, and signs of balance in many segments of the market.

📊 Calgary Market Overview

Sales: 2,191
🔻 Down 18% year-over-year
Inventory: 7,311 active listings
🔺 Up 109% year-over-year — a record high for July
Months of Supply: 3.3
🔼 Indicates a shift toward a more balanced market
Benchmark Price: $583,000
🔺 Up 2% year-over-year

Despite a drop in sales volume, Calgary’s market remains more active than historical norms. Inventory levels have more than doubled compared to last year, offering buyers more choice and reducing upward pressure on prices. That said, benchmark prices held steady and even posted a modest year-over-year gain of 2%, showing ongoing demand — especially in the detached sector.

| Community | Benchmark Price |

| --------------- | --------------- |

| Airdrie | $534,400 |

| Cochrane | $583,200 |

| Okotoks | $619,700 |

| Chestermere | $706,700 |

| Langdon | $692,500 |

| Strathmore | $460,700 |

Suburban markets continue to show relative price stability. While months of supply have increased slightly across the board, benchmark prices have remained resilient — especially in Okotoks, Langdon, and Chestermere, which remain desirable for families seeking more space and value.

🧠 What This Means for You

📌 Buyers:
This is a great time to explore your options. With significantly more homes on the market and more balanced conditions, buyers have room to negotiate — especially in segments with higher inventory like condos and row homes.

📌 Sellers:
While the market isn’t as frenzied as in recent years, homes that are priced well and show well are still moving. Detached homes in prime areas continue to draw attention. If you're considering selling, now is the time to get strategic about pricing and marketing.

5% GST Refund for First-Time Buyers

Wed, 28 May 2025 13:00:07 GMT

🏡 How First-Time Buyers Can Get Their 5% GST Back on New Homes in Canada

If you recently purchased a newly built home in Canada as a first-time buyer, there’s great news you might not be aware of — you may be eligible to get the full 5% GST back on your purchase. That’s potentially thousands of dollars in savings sitting on the table!

💸 What Is the 5% GST Refund for First-Time Buyers?

As part of the federal government’s effort to make housing more affordable, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) has been eliminated for first-time homebuyers purchasing newly built or substantially renovated homes priced at or below $1 million — provided it will be their primary residence.

If you already bought a new home recently, this change may apply to you, and you could qualify for a refund on the GST you paid at closing.

✅ Who Qualifies?

To be eligible for the refund:

You must be a first-time homebuyer
The home must be newly built or substantially renovated
The purchase price must be $1 million or less
You must intend to live in the home as your primary residence

This applies whether the home is a detached house, townhouse, condo, or even a pre-construction property that has recently closed.

🧾 How Much Can You Get Back?

The GST in Canada is 5% of the purchase price. That means on a $600,000 home, you could be entitled to a $30,000 refund — and even more if the price is closer to the $1 million cap.

📌 How to Apply

The refund isn’t automatic — you must apply for it. The process involves submitting the appropriate form through the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), along with documents such as your purchase agreement and proof of residency.

If you need help or want to check your eligibility, send me a message and I’ll provide you with:

🎯 Why This Matters

This refund is a huge win for first-time buyers who may be stretching their budgets just to get into the market. If you’ve already bought and moved in, don’t overlook this opportunity to put money back in your pocket.
