Home Search FAQs
If you’re ready to start your home search, you can contact us here.
How many homes should I see before making an offer?
There is no magic number. Some buyers find the perfect home on their first day, while others may look at 20 or more. The goal isn’t to see a certain number of homes, but to become educated on the current market. Once you feel you have a strong sense of what your money can buy in your desired neighbourhood, you’ll know the right home when you see it.
What are the biggest red flags to watch for during a showing?
Beyond cosmetic issues, look for major potential problems. Key red flags include signs of water damage (stains on ceilings or in the basement), a strong musty or damp smell, old, ideally evaluated by an official Alberta licensed home inspector for your protection or disorganized. Also, pay attention to the condition of big-ticket items like the roof, windows, and furnace.
Should I be concerned about a house that has been on the market for a long time?
Not necessarily. A long time on the market doesn’t always mean there’s something wrong with the house; it’s often a sign that the property was initially overpriced. If the price has since been corrected, it can represent a great opportunity to purchase a solid home with less competition. It’s a situation that warrants further investigation, not automatic dismissal.
How do I know what a home is really worth?
The true market value of a home is determined by what similar properties in the area have recently sold for. As your Realtor, we provide a detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) for any home you are serious about. This report compares the property to other recent sales, active listings, and expired listings, giving you the hard data needed to make a confident and informed offer.
