If you are deciding how selective you can be right now, the latest market pace gives a practical answer.
If you are trying to figure out whether you can take your time shopping in Sundance, AB, I would be careful with that assumption. You do have some choice, but the homes that are aligned with the market are still moving on a short timeline.
Over the previous 30 days, Sundance, AB had 13 new listings, 8 sales, and 11 active homes. Supply came in at 1.38 months, and a typical sale wrapped up in 15 days. That is enough selection for comparison, but not enough excess supply for a relaxed, open-ended search if you are waiting for a clean fit.
The money side reinforces that point. A typical home value last month was $757,200, and recent accepted prices reached 101.1% of asking. My read is simple the market was still rewarding serious, prepared offers on the right homes. In Sundance, AB, that creates pressure for anyone who keeps broad search criteria for too long or expects a lot of room after a strong listing has already attracted attention.
I would tighten your search before the next showing weekend. Cut your target list down to the homes you would realistically write on. Then rank them by condition, layout, and price fit. Do not spend energy on listings that only work if the seller makes a major concession that recent results do not support. Keep your paperwork ready. Set your ceiling early. If a property clearly fits, move with purpose.
