Open House on Saturday, March 7, 2026 1:00PM - 3:00AM

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. Contact your favorite Realtor for a showing.

Buyer’s Tips

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

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.
