The holidays are upon us! Just because you are selling your home does not mean you cannot decorate for the season. Here are some ways to stage your home for sale during the holidays:

  • Scale Back on The Light Show: "Leave the giant inflatable snowman in storage this year. One man's "merry" is another man's "tacky," so tone down any garish light displays while your home is on the market. (No, your neighbors didn't pay us to say that.) Instead, use simple string lighting to play up your home's architecture or draw attention to the gorgeous fir tree in your front yard" (HGTV).
  • Dress Up The Front Door: "Any home stager worth their salt will tell you first impressions are key — and since the front door is often the first thing a potential buyer will…

Winter is coming...

Next week Calgary is expected to receive its first major snowfall! The first snow of the year always leads to chaos on the roads. Here are some tips for navigating extreme weather conditions:

  • Set Up a Block Heater: "Cold weather can weaken your battery, making it harder to start your vehicle. Keeping your block heater plugged in when temperatures drop below -15°C can make a huge difference" (AMA).
  • Invest in Winter Tires: "Winter or snow tires are specially designed for the low temperatures and snowy and icy conditions we experience in Alberta.

Early winter often goes overlooked as a prime time for purchasing a home in Calgary, Alberta, but savvy buyers know it offers many unique advantages. Here is why you should consider making a move during this quieter season:

  1. Sellers Are Extra Motivated: Sellers with homes on the market in early winter are often more motivated to close a deal quickly—whether due to job relocations, tax purposes, or the desire to move before the holidays. This motivation can translate to better deals and flexibility on closing terms and dates.
  2. Year-End Tax Benefits: Closing on a home before the year’s end allows buyers to take advantage of mortgage interest and property tax deductions when filing taxes. There are also some lucrative tax breaks for selling at…

Remembrance Day is Monday, November 11th.

On the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour, Canadians will stop what they are doing and partake in two minutes of silence to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Why this day? It marks a very important day in Canadian history: November 11th, 1918, when "the Armistice was signed and the Canadians took part in the triumphant entry into Mons, Belgium," marking the end of World War I (veterans.gc.ca). 

Remembrance Day does not only commemorate World War I; it commemorates all wars, big and small, all veterans, past and present, and all Canadians who have been affected by war in any way. It is so important to remember the sacrifice of those who have gone before us to…
