Spring is quickly approaching… at least that’s what I try to tell myself every morning that I see -34 windchill. If you thought winter meant a slow real estate market, think again! Grande Prairie is buzzing with buyer activity—and I’ve got the numbers to prove it. Last week alone, 41 new homes hit the market in the Grande Prairie and County of Grande Prairie, and 17 are already pending. That means buyers aren’t just browsing—they’re jumping on homes as soon as they hit the market. Out of the new listings 24 were under the $400,000 price point with 12 of those already pending within 1-3 days of hitting the market.
If you’ve been thinking about selling but were waiting for “the right time”… friend, this is it.
SELLERS: YOUR BUYERS ARE READY—ARE YOU?
There are a ton of buyers actively searching for homes in the under $400K range, especially ones with a garage (because let’s be honest—nobody wants to brush snow off their car every morning). The demand is there, and with homes selling quickly, you don’t want to wait until spring when the market is flooded with more competition.
Thinking of selling? Let’s talk about what your home could sell for right now.
BUYERS: DON’T JUST SHOW UP—SHOW UP READY
In a competitive market like this, the homes that check all the boxes don’t stick around long. If you’re house hunting, here’s how to put yourself in the best position to land your dream home:
✅ Get Pre-Approved – A pre-approval letter is your golden ticket. It tells sellers you’re serious, financially solid, and ready to go. Without it? You risk losing out to another buyer who comes in prepared.
✅ Move Fast – If a home pops up that fits your wishlist, schedule a showing ASAP. The longer you wait, the more buyers jump in—and the tougher the competition gets.
✅ Work with an Agent Who Knows How to Win – This market isn’t for the faint of heart. You need someone who knows how to write a strong, competitive offer that gets accepted—without overpaying.
The bottom line? Whether you’re buying or selling, now is the time to make your move.
