Calgary Bowness Montgomery Real Estate Home News - Blog Archive: September, 2021 | Page #2

September is a month of getting back into routine. Gone are slow summer days of sleeping in, wandering around the park and having a cold drink around the fire. Now is the time for waking up to the alarm, checking off a to-do list and settling back into another season of back to school and work. This transition can be exciting and overwhelming all at once.

Another element to our September? New COVID-19 regulations and restrictions. As Alberta endures a fourth wave, following a wide open summer, it feels like our horizons went from boundless to more restricted than ever before. If you’re feeling disappointed and frustrated, you’re not alone.

We encourage everyone to focus on the positive. Let’s give our attention to what we CAN do, not what we can’t…

This weekend is the September Long Weekend!

Monday is Labour Day, which is a national holiday. You may be wondering, what even is Labour Day?

Very, VERY rare opportunity to purchase 100ft frontage (almost 1/3 of an acre) on beautiful Bow Crescent!!!! Amazing mature treed, 100ft x 127ft south rear-facing, corner lot!!!

Long time ownership by one family. Two deeded separate lots are currently on one title. Current zoning is R-C1 but has the potential to be re-zoned considering the "Main Streets" initiative...... Currently, there is an older story and half character home in need of TLC on the property, but the highest and best use for this property is to subdivide and re-build. Across the street are the Bow river properties backing onto the Bow river that are priced well over one million dollars making this an excellent redevelopment opportunity! Several new homes are under…
