Hot enough for ya?
It has been a nice summer so far this year. I know that can depend on who you talk to. It WAS raining quite a bit this spring, and then it's been hot, and now the mornings are getting cooler...but still close to plus 30 degrees this weekend. Not bad for late August in Southern Alberta.
We had a slow start to the recreational season for sales this year. The warmer weather sure brought people out though. We have made some sales and have some proud new owners here at Lake McGregor Country Estates. New management has been doing a great job! The grounds are looking good. The kids are even pumped up about the hockey nets that have been set up by the basketball court so they can have some street hockey without having to yell "CAR!".
There are still too many properties for sale out here. Well, too many recreational properties for sale in Southern Alberta period. We have quite a few on the market here, Little Bow Resort has over 30 properties for sale, and the list goes on. Not to say that there are no buyers out there though, because there are. The buyers are like vultures now...circling their prey, looking for the best deal, and then, when they are ready to pounce, they come in with a low offer and see what their prey's next move it. Lately, the prey have been giving in, just to get their property sold. It sure is different from about 3 or 4 years ago when properties were just flying! Then again, it is better than just one year ago.
Is now the time to sell? If you are ready to take your loss right away and price it competitively, then yes. If you are wanting to get that top dollar because someone got it back in 2007, well, you may be waiting for a while, so just come out and enjoy the resort. You won't be going anywhere soon.
