WHAT A YEAR SO FAR….

Who isn’t interested in real estate right now?! In all that is going on in our world, it is very interesting to see where we are at today versus the beginning of the year. After the first quarter of 2021, Airdrie was sitting at an average sale price of $401,934; after the second quarter, $416,703. That is a 14.1 per cent year-overyear increase. Airdrie has not seen that growth since the first quarter of 2013 and has never seen these average prices.

When we look at the number of sales, we look back to our record year in 2014 which was 1,695 sales, and to date we have surpassed that already in 2021. Airdrie continues to appeal to people looking to get out of the city, because of affordability, new flexible schedules at work and the amenities that Airdrie provides, without the big-city feel. Migration from other provinces is also happening this year, which we didn’t see as much in 2020.

The summer months typically slow down with sales, and this year is no different. Families are

taking holidays that are long overdue, and family and friends were getting together more with the ease of restrictions; however, don’t let it fool you. The fall market is upon us, and sales are still happening at record intervals, especially with the detached homes. With interest rates staying low, people who said they wouldn’t ever buy real estate are buying real estate.

What are buyers looking for? More space inside for a home office or home gym, and to be closer to family and friends. Some are also focused on outdoor space to enjoy, whether that is in their own yard or the parks and pathways throughout all our great neighbourhoods.

Looking to change up something in your home? Paint and furniture are two of the easiest items we can do to change our space. And the other fun thing about this time of the year is the fall decor… Pumpkins and hot chocolate, anyone? life MAIN FLOOR Pizza & Pie, Deli, Italian Grocery ,
