Buff, how long ago did you list?

The average time to sell a house in Calgary is 32 days. Starter houses may sell a little faster but not enough to be vastly different from the average.

I'm listing my house shortly (trying a few private buyers first - not through welist, just word of mouth)... but yes, I think mostly it's the time of year, and the amount of selection that's on the market currently. One other problem is with the variety on the market and the # of listings being more than 6000, there's a lot more "tire kickers" who aren't really seriously looking.

I think as long as your house is clean, well kept, and not falling apart, someone will eventually fall in love with it and put an offer in. You're probalby doing the same tricks that my potential realtor told me to do (about making it appear larger or more open). Just keep at it, I'll be the same way when I list as you are, but patience is a virtue.
