Chestermere Real Estate Market Statistics March 2023

Chestermere Real Estate Market Statistics March 2023

The real Estate Market in Chestermere March 2023.

There is no such thing as an average house, therefore no such thing as an average price and the average time to sell a home depends on the price range of the home.  This is why we break home sales into price ranges, so that the market can know where the market is for the price range they are interested in.

In the $200,000 to $700,000 there is a shortage of homes for sale.

It is a seller’s market until you get to above the $800,000 range.  It will take longer to sell a home in that range unless it is a lakefront home as there is still a very strong demand for lakefront homes under $1,300,000.    It appears that the market is recognizing what a great value Chestermere lakefront homes are.

62 resale homes sold in Chestermere since mid-December.  20 new homes have sold in this time.

There are 48 active resale listings and 20 new homes listed on MLS.

If you want to know the actual value of your home please contact us.  We will be happy to provide you with a written evaluation of your homes value.  View more here..

Chestermere Real Estate Team

Chestermere Real Estate Team

Our family has been Chestermere realtors since 1993.  That is 30 years of working together!  It has worked so well for us that our son Kevin McKay has joined our Chestermere Real Estate Team.

The secret is that we each have the areas in that we specialize.  Marjorie McKay loves marketing and promoting the listings.  Whether it is on our self-managed website, Facebook, blogging, or internet marketing Marjorie has mastered each of these platforms.  Marjorie has been marketing properties locally and nationally attracting buyers from areas like Toronto, Vancouver, and Northern Alberta.

Doug McKay specializes in acreage and lakefront properties.  He also shines in negotiating, treating your money like it was his own!

Kevin McKay is a licensed drone pilot and a videographer.  He is responsible for all of the images you see on our listings.  Having a drone video, and drone photography show off the exterior of the property, the neighborhood, the yard, and the proximity to parks, schools, and other amenities.  On acreages, it shows the rest of the property.  View our videos here.

Not many realtors are doing video tours of the homes that they list as there is quite a learning curve.  Homes with videos have 70% more views.  Kevin’s videos show what it would be like to walk through the home.  Once you click the start button there is nothing else to do.  Just sit back and enjoy the home.  We also include a floor plan with our listings so buyers can see what the layout is like and how their furnishings would fit.  Because this is all done in-house we have better control to emphasize the special features of a property.  We can also get your property on the market faster. Should the season change, we can redo the photos so the property looks current.

As more and more real estate agents are coming with buyers for the lake, we have found that they do not know what they do not know about Chestermere.  They do not know about lakefront retaining walls, the water depth at different locations, docks, boathouses, and retaining walls.  For this reason, Doug McKay attends the first showing on lakefront properties with agents that are unfamiliar with Chestermere.  View Lakefront listings here.

A lot of agents that are not familiar with acreages are showing acreages.  An acreage property is more than just a house. There is a water system, sewage system, and sometimes access to irrigation, and additional buildings  It also must be zoned for the use that the buyer intends to use it for.  Can they run a business, can they have horses, etc?  View acreage listings here.

One of our acreage sellers said to Doug, “when you show the property you show the barn, the well, the storage shed, the gardens, the second well.  These other realtors just show the house and then they leave.”   After we heard this, we met with realtors showing the property and walked them through the entire property.  This is what we now do with acreages.  It is more work for us, but the properties are being recognized for all of the assets that they possess.  It is all about getting an offer on the property and we work well with other realtors.

When it comes to the offer, we love to negotiate on your behalf. Knowing the market is imperative to successful negotiations.  As Chestermere realtors, we are aware of the competition, and we know if there were extenuating factors that affected the sales price.  We know how many comparable homes are on the market, and what the demand for a certain type of home has been.

While we are passionate about the Chestermere market, we also work in the greater Calgary area and sell many homes there. View homes we have sold here.

We look forward to meeting with you and discussing your goals.  Whether you are buying or selling, or just want to know where you stand with the equity in your home.  Please call us we would love to meet you.

Chestermere Drone Video & Tours Sell!

Chestermere Drone Video & Tours Sell!

Chestermere Drone & Video Tours Sell.

We have been pioneers in marketing our listings in Chestermere with Drone and video tours. Kevin McKay has his drone pilot license, so he can legally run the larger, better-quality drones. He can also edit the videos and blend the inside of the home with the exterior and neighbourhood videos. The purpose of these videos is to honestly represent the home as though the buyers were actually walking through the home.   

Local and National Marketing!

We promote our Drone and Video Tours in the national marketplace, locating buyers that are moving to this area.  If they like what they see they will tell their Buyer’s Agent to show them the home.

We Set Up Our Clients For Success!

 
It is a competitive market out there, and it can change in a heartbeat. With 28 years of experience, we have worked in every kind of market, buyers, sellers, and transitional. There are different strategies that work for each market and the trick is to know which one you are in. It is also important to have all of your ducks in a row so that you are ready to compete in whatever market we are in.
We are committed to helping our clients navigate the real estate market with compassion and competence. Most of our friends started out as clients! So, we are excited to meet you!
 
Photography.

We know the value of good photographs. If you have poor dark photos, people will just move on to the next home. It is also important that the photos represent the home accurately, otherwise, the prospective buyers will be disappointed in the home and the seller will have wasted time getting ready and disappearing for the showing. Kevin uses the right lenses for homes and professionally adjusts the photos to be realistic. We will be there when the photos are taken to make sure that the home is staged well.

Floor Plans.

We have professional measurements and a floor plan drawn up of the entire home.  This is included in the online marketing of the home.  This will give potential buyers an opportunity to evaluate if the floor plan works for their family, as there is no point in the seller cleaning and preparing the home if it is not going to work for the buyer.   We find that it also helps after they buy the home they do have to come back to measure the rooms.

Buyer Representation

Today buyers have the same protection that sellers have had for decades. A Buyers Brokerage Contract spells out the responsibilities and obligations of all parties. Now your agent works for you, and because he knows you are committed to him, he can afford to give you the time you need to find the right home. We are happy to sit down and meet with you, by zoom or in person, so you can get a feel as to whether we are the right agents for you.

We Answer Our Own Phones.

When you dial our main number it goes to all of us.  So a licensed realtor is always available to speak to you.  Call 403-207-1776 to speak to us directly.

Chestermere Then and Now!

Chestermere Then and Now!

.

So Lucky To Have Lived In Chestermere Lake For 30 Years!

One of the first things Doug and I agreed on was that we wanted to live on Chestermere Lake.  There is a huge difference between then and now.  30 years ago, Chestermere was not well-known, or well-respected.  When we told family and friends that we were putting in an offer on Chestermere they tried to talk us out of it.  We found a realtor that worked in the Chestermere market.  He showed us all the properties that were available, and as we drove by our current home, I said how much I liked the look of it.  He said it was for sale, but just off the market to “give it a rest”.  Then we put in an offer, and this has been our home for 31 years.

Chestermere Homes Are A Great Value.

It has always been our belief that Chestermere is a remarkable value when you compare it to homes elsewhere.  A mountain view is nice, but can you swim in it?  The lake communities are well-designed and beautiful, but you cannot run your motorboat on them.  Further, you will pay more for either of these options than you will for a comparable home on the lake.

Chestermere in 1991.

In 1991, Chestermere had 900 residents.  Children K-9 were bussed to Conrich school.  There was one playground on the East side of the lake, that was dilapidated and just sad.  The only store was Porter’s which had food services where you could get breakfast or a burger, you could pick up a few necessities like milk or bread.   The Inn was open and you could boat down for a great pizza.  That was it!  Everything else was in Calgary.  Doctors, Chiropractors, Dentists, daycare, etc.

There were no bike paths, and the roads were so full of potholes, that speeding was not a problem.  If you wanted to get to the West side of the lake from the East side there was no bridge, to walk across, you had to go to the 17 Ave. bridge and drive all the way around.

When we bought our home in 1991 the golf course was just under construction.  With the addition of the golf course and community City of Calgary water was piped in.  This bumped the average lakefront price from about $245,000 to $285,000.  The water in Chestermere had high iron content and turned everything yellow.  It also smelled bad.  This is the main reason that Chestermere did not develop much until after 1992.

For police, we had Constable Klater,  he handled everything from dog control, neighbour disputes.   If you were out driving late, he might stop to chat, just to find out you were driving your babysitter home.  He did not hassle residents, he just made sure you had a reason to be here.

There was only one building inspector, who only worked in Chestermere one day a week.  If he saw any building material in front of your house, he would stop by and see what you were doing.   So, people waited until the day after to start building projects.

The Community Center was the heart of the community.  They managed all extra-curricular activities.  Skating, soccer, baseball, hockey, curling, and youth activities.  The seniors’ group met there, and the playschool was also hosted there.  Plans are underway for a new community center, but the old one still serves the city.

Chestermere Today.

Mostly things have improved so much.   Chestermere has medical services, your choice of Separate or Private schools, roads that won’t wreck your car, playgrounds, bike paths, beaches, restaurants, health clubs, liquor stores, cannabis stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, daycare, a library, and Bus service to Calgary.  The City of Chestermere now does much of the city’s social programming.   Chestermere has a full RCMP detachment.

We now have a choice of separate & public schools.

Chestermere has a population of more than 20,000 people, and it will take you 30 minutes to get downtown instead of 20.

We have made a very rewarding career out of helping people buy and sell homes in Chestermere since 1993.  We believed in the Chestermere area before it became popular.  If you have any questions about living in Chestermere, please call.  We would love to help you.
