When we decided to sell our condo, a friend recommended Stuart Neal of Vital Home Realty because of their flat fee commission. We knew up front what we would pay and could budget accordingly. Stuart was very realistic with us from the beginning on the listing price of our condo, and very helpful in navigating us through the process when looking at alternatives. When negotiations became aggressive and somewhat negative, he told us to remain calm and he would respond in our best interests. Stuart was most professional in all aspects of our sale, and always available for advice and direction. We highly recommend approaching Stuart Neal if you are looking for a realtor.

I found Ambergate Realty to be professional with reasonable fees. They were able to close the deal on my home in a very poor market. Completely satisfied and would deal with this firm again.

Situation

Isabella and Fred are both in their eighties. They built their home and were very attached to it. However, ongoing health and mobility concerns made it increasingly important for them to move into specialist accommodation. The big question in their minds was how they were going to go about selling their house and downsize effectively. They wanted full support from a local realty company, but begrudged paying expensive traditional real estate commissions. One of our former clients Moe Mahendran referred them to us. They soon discovered that the flat fee program offered by Vital Home Realty was an obvious choice.

Result

During our marketing program Vital Home Realty created a good number of showings and several offers. Eventually we…

Situation

Kris and Garth decided to move to the United States to be near elderly parents. Their initial decision was to list with a traditional REALTOR® but that did not work. Next, they tried Kijiji. That failed too.

Kris and Garth started to look around for alternative service providers. They considered Comfree (now Purple Brick) but ruled it out as they wanted a higher level of service and local expertise than was offered by this company. After learning about Vital Home Realty, our FLAT FEE program was the obvious choice.

Result

In 2018 the sales market was tough and this included the Mayliewan community. The Vital Home Realty team got to work and made sure Kris and Garths home was advertised everywhere that mattered. After a reasonable…

The process of downsizing can be an exciting time. It can also be a time for contemplation and worry about what lies ahead. John Tidridge wrote this wonderful poem to describe his initial feelings and thoughts as Maureen and he contemplate the next stage of their lives.

Summary:

December 2018 saw the Edmonton homes sales market slow but values held.

Sales Values:

As home buyers competed for homes in December and against the backdrop of lower supply, sales values rallied. On average, home buyers paid about 3% MORE than did home buyers in December 2017. Average sales prices were just over $367,000 in 2018, compared to approximately $357,000 in 2017.

Numbers Sold:

534 homes were sold in December down by 182 units sold in 2017. This suggests that despite the many very good deals on offer many buyers are sitting on their hands and waiting for a better time. This may be flawed thinking and they are likely to pay the same or more for homes in the mid to long term.

Days on Market:

As might be…
