Now that we are entering fourth quarter of 2020, The Year of Covid, we have a clear picture of how the global pandemic has impacted Lethbridge real estate. Happily, we can also now say that Covid-19 hasn’t had the negative impacts we were fearful of in early days. Personally, this is as good a market as I have ever seen in my eight years of selling homes.
Whether you’re buying or selling, there is almost no reason to wait.
Real estate prices remain stable as the inventory in Lethbridge is cleaning up significantly, adding buoyancy to the market overall. In short, it’s a great time to make a move if you own a home. Conversely, if you’re in the market to buy a home, interest rates are remarkably low (2% or less for qualified buyers).
