The action
Agent Bryon Howard lives and works near this semi-detached house. Knowing the area so well, he had little trouble pointing out its advantages.
“It’s a community that is highly sought after, close to central Calgary and downtown, and has very nice parks and great walking trails,” said Mr. Howard.
“I was premarketing it pretty heavily prior to listing, so a lot of people knew it was coming on the market before viewing it, so they were ready.”
The campaign paid off with three competing offers in three days and a sale slightly over the asking price.
“There were about four comparable attached homes in this neighbourhood, including two brand new ones at a higher price, and one was a little older and significantly overpriced,” Mr. Howard said.
“We didn’t want to be on the market for 90 days.,” he said. “We wanted to price it competitively so we’d get interest.”

The agent’s take
“It’s a contemporary-style property that people desire, and there were some upgrades,” Mr. Howard said.
“What was special about this one is it has a walkout basement because it was on a hill, so it has more light in the basement.”
