The A-Team, RE/MAX First

Breanna and I were shocked to find we were awarded #2 (number two?!) team for the month of October. We're extremely thankful for our clients and other people who refer us so often to help make this happen. Getting to work for (and get to know) so many nice, kind people is something we'll never tire of. In fact, it gets better over time... Thank you also to the management team at our phenomenal brokerage for helping us along the way, especially during the wilder months. -Tom

Thank you to Global News for sharing my input on the current state of the #Calgary #housing market. - Tom https://lnkd.in/g9sZruaY #calgaryhousing #calgaryrealestate

>2024 Market Update --> Calgary Area< Seller's market conditions prevailed across the board in March (and April, month-to-date). Continuing the trend, entry-level housing types and more affordable geographical areas, saw the greatest imbalances and therefore the strongest price gains. Price gains: As we entered spring, sales rose, but the percentage increase in new listings did not keep pace. As a result, price gains for different product types rose on paper by 2-3% in March versus an average of 1-2% per month over the last two years. It is worth noting, that anecdotally, in much of our operations, we are not seeing these kinds of growth rates "on the ground", probably because much of the business we do is not for entry-level products. One stat that we track at the brokerage (RE/MAX First) is showings per listing (per week) because it is a leading indicator of value growth. It is currently showing the third-highest number in the last three calendar years, with the only two higher values being in Feb 2022. In the short run (0-6 months) we anticipate continued rapid run-up of values and rents to continue rising, based on the statistics. That is, as long as we don't see global events e.g. recession, significant rate changes, and/or oil price changes. In the long term, we are watching housing policy and policies around migration patterns, as these greatly impact local family formation. We think we're seeing the continuation of a (slow) rotation of demand into the City Centre, and larger, detached homes. This is usually the next phase of a growth market, as even newer homeowners experience the wealth effect of higher home values. April 22nd we find out if the council will rubber stamp city-wide rezoning, which on the one hand will marginally increase "missing middle" housing (townhomes), but may also have negative externalities. We think a "donut ring" of communities (not central, not distant suburban) would see most new development, due to their lower per sqft land costs and still relatively connected locations. Any questions? Please reach out: We are always looking to help you, or people you know.   Thoughtful | Loyal | Effective                                                                       Tom Albrecht Owner/Associate The A-Team @ RE/MAX First 587.700.7123 info@ateamcalgary.ca https://lnkd.in/ggxsbZRH Breanna Albrecht Owner/Associate The A-Team @ RE/MAX First 587.700.7123 info@ateamcalgary.ca https://lnkd.in/g7eBmgqK #ThoughtfulLoyalEffective #Thoughtful  #Loyal  #Effective

I first met Glenn playing Ultimate Frisbee, and he mentioned he & Stephanie might like to purchase their first family home together for their family in the future. Fast forward a couple of years and we began our home search this Jan, after having prepared properly. I'm really thankful for the warm relationships we've built together, and it's heartwarming to have so much in common with people. Glenn Eberth & Stephanie: Visiting you today at your Lake Bonavista piet-de-terre was especially enjoyable. I look forward to years of friendship. Thanks for being yourselves throughout and for valuing the advice I gave you, in consultation, negotiation, and closing. Thank you for supporting my business & family. Congratulations! - Tom P.S.

It's hard to put into words how it feels when a friend as close as @NikkiTheaker supports me by giving me their business (her and Robbie recently sold and bought with us). Thank you, Nikki, for everything - your friendship, spending time with me, and watching the Flames win!
