Know your segment and your timeline before you fall in love
If you are trying to decide whether a home is worth touring, the fastest way to avoid wasted time is to pre-qualify it against the segment it really competes in. In Auburn Bay, AB, I use recent benchmarks and the typical sale timeline to keep your short list realistic.
If you only remember one closed data point right now, make it this a typical sale took 36 days last month for total residential in Auburn Bay, AB, and closed prices averaged about 98.1% of asking. Over the same period, there were 62 homes available, 49 new listings, and 23 sales, with supply at 2.70 months. This changes your plan because touring without a segment filter is how buyers get pulled into the wrong price expectations. Some metrics were not reported for this period. What is reported is enough to build a smart touring system buyers had choices 62 active listings, and sellers of well-positioned homes still held close to asking in the final numbers. Filter your tour list by the correct benchmark first detached $762,400, semi-detached $514,500, row $432,500, apartment $322,100, and total residential $603,800 last month in Auburn Bay, AB. Keep your showing schedule tight and be ready to decide, because a typical deal moved through in 36 days last month and the best homes do not sit forever. When you tour, document the condition items that would separate one home from another, since recent closings near 98.1% of asking mean you need real justification before you expect a large discount.
