It's summertime, and it's beautiful outside in Calgary, Alberta! 

The summer season is a great time to sell your home. More buyers are searching for properties thanks to the good weather, summer holidays, and a hot real estate market. While this gorgeous season can certainly help sell your home, you still need to make sure you're staging it appropriately.

The Government of Canada writes, "National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year.

In the summertime everything comes to life. The trees start growing their leaves, the flowers start blooming, animals come out of hibernation, and people turn off Netflix and head outside. With the sun out longer and holiday time banked, the summer becomes the perfect time to tackle that big project, have cold drinks on the patio, spend time with the family and, for many people, move.

That's right, while the springtime is when many homes get listed for sale in Calgary, Alberta, possession often happens during the summertime. This is because with such nice weather and more holidays, it is easier for people to move out of their old homes and into their new homes.

As the temperature rises, so can your energy bill. But staying cool doesn't have to come at the cost of your wallet—or the environment. Whether you're trying to reduce your carbon footprint, cut down on monthly expenses, or both, these energy-saving tips will help you keep your cool all summer long without overheating your budget:

Close the Gap: Before you blast the AC, make sure your home is sealed tight. Gaps around windows, doors, and vents let hot air in and cold air out. Use weather stripping or caulking to close leaks and help your cooling system work more efficiently. Don't waste that precious cool air!

Place Fans Wisely: Ceiling fans don’t lower room temperature, but they do create a wind-chill effect that helps you feel cooler. Set your…
