Technology Update

The Calgary Real Estate Board has just unveiled the new www.CREB.com website as of this morning. It appears to be much more informative and easy to navigate then the old site. Of particular interest and benefit to the public is the readily accessible link to REALTOR® open houses! You can very easily find open houses which match your price criteria and using an easy graphical interface, find any open houses posted by the participating REALTORS®.

The MLS.ca is slowly being phased out, to be replaced with the more intuitive and user friendly www.realtor.ca. The easiest thing of course is still to call your REALTOR and let them do the work for you.

The board has also completely phased out the old grey key-boxes which you’ve seen around for so many years. They have been replaced with the new blue boxes, which support many advanced security features.

Prices have come down substantially over the summer, so it should be a great time to buy. Many sellers are motivated. Don’t hold off too much longer.
