There is a famous saying: ‘You never get a 2nd chance to make a good 1st impression.’ This report holds true when showing your home to potential buyers. The 1^st few seconds after the prospective buyers open the front door are essential. As they walk in, slip off their shoes and take that first look around, their judgements are quickly formed. This is why it is vital to make sure your home looks great from the vantage point of the front door.

A Few Tips:

Make sure your foyer is well lit
Eliminate anything that may clutter the space, such as coat racks and benches
Place shoes piled by the door in a more discreet site
Situate a small table with fresh flowers by the doorway. Flowers provide a friendly and inviting atmosphere, exactly want to want the prospective buyers to feel
Purchase a new front door mat and use it only for showings
Make sure that any stairs that are visible from the front entryway are freshly vacuumed

Calgary’s MLS market remains steady with a slight increase in metro single family and condominium sales over May, which could indicate that more homes are being priced to fit the current market conditions.

Single family Calgary metro sales for the month of June came in at 1,439, showing an increase of 5.2% from last months sales of 1,368. Condo sales for June were at 556, showing a small decrease of 3.6% over the 577 condos changing hands in May 2008.

“Month end inventory has decreased and sales have increased over the last month, which tells me that the sellers are pricing their homes with today’s market in mind”, remarked CREB President Ed Jensen.

The average price of a single family Calgary metro home in June 2008 was $473,774, showing a decrease of 4.7& from June 2007. The average price of a Calgary metro condo was $315,042, showing a 2.5% decrease from June 2007.
