Sam Pond Real Estate

Sold — and this one was a meaningful one. 🏡

52 Sandarac Circle NW just sold, and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the people behind this sale rather than just celebrate the result.

These clients are friends of mine. They came to me to help sell their sister's home as part of an estate sale — and anyone who's been through that process knows it's not straightforward. There are emotions involved. Decisions that feel heavier than they look on paper. Moments where it stops feeling like real estate and starts feeling like something much more personal.

I'm really grateful they trusted me with it. We got through it together, and I couldn't be prouder of how they handled every step.

If you or someone you know is dealing with an inherited property or estate sale and isn't sure where to start, feel free to reach out. It's one of the things I genuinely love helping people navigate — and I always make time for those conversations.

Congratulations to my friends. Wishing you peace and a little breathing room now that it's done. 🤍

🏡 119 Falshire Terrace NE, Falconridge — UNDER CONTRACT

Here's what most sellers don't realize: pricing a home isn't about what you want — it's about what the market will support right now.

When we listed this 3-bed, 2-bath townhouse in Falconridge, we took a hard look at the data. Buyer activity, comparable sales, days-on-market trends — they all pointed to one number. We made a strategic price adjustment to $300,000, and the market responded. ✅ Under contract.

This is the difference between a home that lingers and one that sells. Understanding where the market is heading — not just where it's been — is how we protect our sellers' time and get results.

If your home is sitting, or you're thinking about making a move and want to know what a data-driven pricing strategy looks like in today's Calgary market — let's have that conversation.

Here's the honest rundown on this home:

✅ 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,096 sq ft across two floors
✅ Bright living room with a large bay window that floods the space with natural light

✅ Unfinished basement ready for your vision (rec room, home office, extra storage)

🏠 COMING SOON — 101, 2221 14 Street SW | Bankview, Calgary

Inner-city homeownership is more achievable than you might think — especially if you're smart about how you structure it.

We're bringing a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit renovated in 2023 to the market in Bankview — and the layout is purpose-built for the buyer who wants to live in the inner city without carrying the full cost alone.

Here's why this one is different:

🔑 1,400+ sq ft — two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dedicated office, and a bonus den. One of the largest and most flexible footprints you'll find at this price point in this neighbourhood

🛏️ Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, separated on opposite ends of the unit — bring a roommate and you're both living comfortably without sharing an ensuite

🍳 Kitchen renovated in 2023 — white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless steel appliances

💼 A dedicated office plus a separate den — work from home properly without giving up your living room, or give your roommate their own space to decompress

🚗 Covered parking directly accessible from the unit level — no scraping your car in January, no walking across an exposed parking lot

🏙️ Steps from 17th Avenue — restaurants, coffee shops, groceries, and transit all within walking distance

💰 The math that matters — this unit rented for $2,300/month as recently as last summer. A roommate contributing $1,100–$1,200/month toward your carrying costs means you could be building equity in the inner city for less than you might expect

This is a below-grade unit in a well-maintained building — we're being upfront about that because the right buyer already knows that's how you find value in this market. The unit itself is bright, clean, and well-finished. Come see it for yourself.

Big news — and a personal one. 🎉

35 Tuscany Estates Crescent NW just sold for full list price — $950,000 — and I couldn't be prouder of how it came together.

These aren't clients — they're friends. Friends of 30+ years. And like any good team, we came in with a plan. They committed to what they needed to do to get the home ready and show-ready. I committed to the pricing strategy, the marketing, and the timing. We both delivered — and the result was exactly what we set out to achieve.

Now they're heading to Newfoundland for retirement, and honestly, it doesn't get much better than that.

If you're thinking about selling in Tuscany or anywhere in Calgary, this is what a real plan looks like. Reach out anytime — no pressure, just a conversation.
