Guest Post: Low Inventory, No Problem

Debbi Secondiak with ReMax Medalta Real Estate is providing some tips for navigating a low-inventory market here in Medicine Hat:

If you are looking to buy real estate in Medicine Hat:

- Act Quickly - In a low inventory market, properties can sell faster than usual. Be prepared to act quickly when you find a property that fits your needs & budget.  

- Keep an Open Mind - Less inventory means fewer options. Consider different locations, property types, and features that meet your needs. 

- Be Prepared - Before house shopping, get pre-approved and be secure in your budget. That way when the right home comes along you can write a solid offer with confidence. 

- Don't Get Discouraged - Stay patient, keep looking, and be ready to act when the right home presents itself. 

- Work With a Great Agent - An agent that knows the market, is organized, acts quickly, and may even be able to show you some homes before they hit the market, is a huge asset. 

If you are looking to sell:

- Don't Overprice - In a low inventory market, overpricing your home can deter buyers. Setting your price competitively means you will attract more buyers, giving you the best opportunity to get the most for your home. 

- Don't Wait - Less inventory means less competition. 

- Make Your Property Stand Out - Standing out from the competition is still important in a low inventory market. Buyers want to envision themselves living in your home, but they are easily distracted when homes are dirty, cluttered & in need of repair. 

- Be Prepared - In a low inventory market, your property can sell faster than usual. Be prepared to move quickly once you receive an offer that meets your needs. 

- Work With a Great Agent - An agent with experience in a low inventory market can help you price your home competitively, market your property effectively, and negotiate to get you the most for your home at the best terms.
