New MLS.ca

I have had a few clients give me a call in the last couple days, and complain about how the new www.MLS.ca is a very poor design, and is very hard to search.  I logged on today to find the same result.  I think the new design and layout came in over the last couple weeks or so, as I personally don’t use this site, I’m unaware of the exact date of change.  From my own searches, I was unware of a way to search by community?  This is an important factor in searching for a home.

If you are in this boat, I want to encourage you to check out www.ChamberlainGroup.ca as you are able to do much more, and in depth searching from there of the Calgary and area real estate than the MLS.  You will need to become a member, but once you are in, you can actually get the full address and days on market of properties that are listed, which you are not able to get through the MLS.  I’m not saying this so that you will become a client of ours, but rather so you are able to find what you are looking for if MLS.ca isn’t going to provide it for you.

If you have any questions on our site, please let us know…

Happy Hunting!

Calgary Prices Past vs. Present

We have had some incredible growth in our prices in Calgary, and Alberta in general.  At some points we were making money without even doing anything to our houses, and some months we were getting upwards of $5,000 per month “in our pocket equity”.  Times have changed… we are now seeing prices relax, and decline.  Now, don’t take me wrong, I’m not saying that the increase in Calgary and area is over, by no means, but the market is resting right now… Below is a great graph that puts it all into perspective of how well we have done with the prices in Calgary.

Would love to hear your feedback!
