The action
Earlier this year, agent Bryon Howard was assigned to sell two pieces of land severed from a larger property in a rural area about 35 kilometres south of Calgary’s downtown core. A different agent had previously listed Lot 1 – a 4.08-acre parcel – for five months last year with an asking price in the mid-$500,000s.
Mr. Howard reintroduced it with a lower price of $484,900 and heavily promoted it through public outlets and private contacts.
“People who typically want land, want to get out of the city, but be close to the city, and are probably looking for mountain views and privacy,” Mr. Howard said.
“We didn’t have a whole lot of showings, maybe eight people walked the land, and other people may have drove by.”
A Calgary-based buyer considered the sister lot at the rear, measuring 5.46-acres, but purchased Lot 1 instead for $450,000 about one month after its listing.
“This one is right off the road, the other has panhandle driveway access,” said Mr. Howard.
“Well-priced properties in that area are selling in that 30-day range. We priced it well to sell fairly quickly.”

This lot has a newly paved driveway approach and an environmental reserve on a portion of the land.
Drilled well, gas, power and phone services are available at the property line.
The site does not have architectural controls.
The agent’s take
“It was fully serviced with drilled well, gas, power and even cable at the lot line, which is rare for raw land,” Mr. Howard said.
“Often land like this outside Calgary would have a building commitment where it has to be built within two years, but this land has no building commitment.”
