Its a great feeling when spring arrives and the snow is gone . In Calgary the season of spring is the best time to buy and sell real estate ! . Why you might ask ? Well the next few months people start think about moving area's or moving cities , Its prime time for Real Estate due to school timing and season changes. The next few months are great for listing and selling because we are all thinking ahead and that means the right place at the right time. Stampede is coming as always and will stop the markets were they stand!. So ( April , May and June ) are perfect to buy and sell. Write off July because we are all at the stampede !!!!. August is the next time for catching the market. So clean out your closet and garages and give us a call for helping you find or sell your dream home.
have a great spring
Calgary has noticed a recent jump in sales in the past 30 days placing the sales at over 1000 units sold over the last 30 days !!! I know that is not huge for Calgary but it is major progress for the good. I am noticing that people who have been sitting on the fence are realizing that interest rates are extremely low an that pricing is back on target for a normal growth. So if you are waiting for the bottom to fall...... It fell !!!!
Its nice to see the market picking up and people moving homes and achieving dreams of home ownership again. Way to go Calgary !!! The banks are realizing they need to follow the lead of the government and let other people make money for a change.... As you all know the major banks of Canada always make major money and seem to still charge a high rate.
Spring is here ( or at least in theory ) Snow is falling :)
So go out doors and enjoy the spring weather , summer is around the corner....
Cheers

Im not sure if you were able to read the Calgary sun on Friday February 20th , but there were 2 great stories about Calgary housing market. The Housing market report released by ( CMHC .. Canada Mortgage and housing Corporation) The federal agency predicts that next year , the energy-rich province will lead the nation as home build bounces from a 3 year slump. Forecast for the year 2010 ( 14.6 % in Alberta and 1.9% nation wide) NO OTHER PROVINCE IS PREDICTED TO POST DOUBLE DIGIT... The main reason behind the CMHC's optimism for Alberta is that within one year, the impact of cash injection into the ailing economies of Canada and the U.S will be felt in the housing sector.. Mortgage rates are very low and pricing is perfect for the buyers. I guess the proof is in the numbers and the current market is showing a large increase from last month. CREB is posting 807 sales within the last 30 days and 4318 active listings , this means the balance is coming close. So buyers get of the fence and make your move before the move is made!. For more info check out the Calgary Sun ( Friday feb 20 ) page 35.

As we are all aware the future of the world economy is uncertain , however if you look back to the 80's you will find the same trend with a new twist ( OIL). if you are in the oil business you understand that demand will not slow for long and that prices will go up ! if were at $150 it will happen again and much higher. This is the prime time to be looking at upgrading or possibly adding property to your investment portfolio real estate will only go higher. looking downtown its not to work the numbers on people vrs condos and realize that with the sudden stops of projects are going to cause the exact same effect that it had 2 years ago ( no product ). The office buildings are moving fast and will fill the downtown core enabling employees to seek for close affordable condos. The same is true for homes however do not purchase a home expecting the same rate of return that has happened 2 -3 years ago , expect normal growth rates of 6-10% and enjoy.
Our core values reflect our commitment to exceptional customer service. We believe that by giving our clients every advantage and opportunity for success in this market we ensure our own success.

It's easy to see why I'm a Realtor, it's in the blood! Raised by parents who've both professionally sold Calgary Real Estate for over 38 years, it's only natural that I'm driven to excel in professional sales and real estate marketing. I've gained a wealth of knowledge from thier backgrounds and am always motivated to succeed for my clients.
Born and raised in Calgary, I've loved this city from day one and have been lucky to see it grow from a small "Cow Town" into the major metro it is today. I started my career in High-Technology Sales and have enjoyed combining this knowledge with the passion I have for Real Estate.
You can count on me to apply my expertise in the high tech world to marketing your property or helping you locate the perfect new home.
I've been selling both new homes and resale homes in Calgary and the surrounding area for over 38 years. Thanks to my clients, I've been a top producer at RE/MAX (Central), the #1 RE/MAX office in the world for the past 11 years.
We had owned our first home for almost 14 years when we decided to buy another home. When we met Todd he was very kind, helpful and was not pushy at all. Because it had been so long since we had purchased a home, Todd basically took us through all of the ins and outs of purchasing a new home and selling our home. Todd went above and beyond what we expected a realtor to do. Todd's knowledge base is incredible and his level of motivation is outstanding. During the whole process Todd kept us up to date and informed with all matters pertaining to the sale and purchase of our home! We would not hesitate to go with Todd again and we are especially thankful for the fact that although he was dealing with a number of other clients during the selling and purchasing of our home, he made us feel like we were his only and most important clients and that really meant a lot to us!
Thank you very much for all your hard work, we are very grateful!

Success begins on the extra mile. Purchasing a home with the help of Todd Terry proved just that! He is extraordinary at what he does. From building relationships, to making that last extra call at the end of the day to just keep us posted, to answering questions or concerns we had, but even with MORE answers than we had requested. Todd finds a way to deliver, polish and improve any request. Most importantly, was that he delivers on his value and promise to a customer and digs even deeper to wow them. He without a doubt wowed us! There are few among us that have crafted a way to serve others to the best of their ability, and to ensure customer satisfaction. Todd is definitely one of the few!
Thank you for helping us find our beautiful home Todd! Cheers!

It has been our pleasure to deal with Kent over the last Ten years and with the recent additions of TR it has just added to the level of service. We have completed both sales and purchases with Kent and TR and never been disappointed, thanks for the great care and personal attention you both always provide.
Nola & Tim ( Valley Ridge clients for 10 plus years)
We have sold/purchased 3 homes through Kent and Todd. All three scenarios have been very smooth and stress free. They are obviously very well connected as we had tremendous numbers of viewings of our sale properties. Most recently Kent and Todd were instrumental in working with us through a challenging opportunity to take possession of an unbelievable home and piece of property without it ever being listed!
We highly recommend Kent and Todd to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home in Calgary.
Dave and Gina Hopper
Our sincere thanks to Kent and Todd Terry whose time, dedication, experience, and professional knowledge led to the very rapid sale of our home. There was barely time to get the 'for sale' sign posted! As first time sellers, this team helped ease concerns and stresses and made this a positive experience in an uncertain market."
Thanks again,
Tammy
I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with Todd Terry as a realtor. Throughout the entire process, Todd was professional and motivated. As a person, he's easy to talk to, personable and very easy to contact. Todd promptly returned all my phone calls and had advertising in place as soon as possible. My home sold in only 4 days. Todd makes it his job to meet YOUR goals rather than his own. I highly recommend Todd to anyone looking for a highly reliable and motivated realtor.
