| Yes, homes can and do sell during the Calgary Stampede. When people put on their cowboy hats in July to enjoy the “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”, it doesn’t mean that houses won’t sell in Calgary during the Stampede. In fact, it’s an opportunity to reach a broader market when all eyes are on our great city. Professional staging can get the attention you want. Rodeo, fireworks, art, music, food and fun. No wonder the Calgary Stampede is a huge draw for people across the globe. From July 5 to 14, 2013, Calgary will host more than 700,000 guests for the annual event. Just as people are looking forward to the big show, you should be staging your property for maximum impact. Last year around this time, Set Your Stage used its expertise to stage a vacant property in Bridgeland that had already been on the market for almost three months. Anticipating that new mortgage lending rules would make it more difficult for buyers, the goal was to sell as soon as possible. The owners were worried about the Calgary Stampede starting and one of the real estate myths that said it would be impossible to sell during that time. Not true. We staged the property on June 26. It sold July 4. The Calgary Stampede ran from July 4 to July 15. It goes to show that you can sell your house any time of the year. What makes the difference is highlighting the features (like the amazing views of the city from this property) in a way that really speaks to potential buyers. |
