COVID-19 continues to bring business, schools and cities to a standstill as we practice safe social distancing in attempts to flatten the curve of this global pandemic.
This week felt different for many Calgarians as we settled into a temporary new normal. At first being home from our regular daily activities felt like a fun snow day, a welcome chance to catch up on Netflix and sleep in. However, now people are starting to feel the anxiety the comes with knowing this isn't just a two week fix; this could be our reality for a number of months now.

Spring is slowly arriving, pushing through any fresh snow that dares to fall. Blossoms are appearing through the lingering frost and pavement is emerging under ice. Spring seems to happen slowly in Calgary, and then all at once.
The start of a new season always ushers in a boost in the real estate market as people make not only seasonal, but physical transitions. Spring is no exception. In fact, it is one of the most popular times for both buyers and sellers to enter the market. Sellers finish their spring cleaning and put out 'for sale' signs, which prompts buyers to begin seriously searching for a new property, which prompts more 'for sale' signs. It is cyclical, and can be a competitive time in the market, but a lucrative one.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! We could all use a bit o' Irish luck these days. Here are some fun facts about everyone's favourite green holiday:
St. Patrick's Day is an official holiday in Ireland! Banks, schools and businesses all shut down so they can celebrate this fun holiday.
"Though we've come to associate kelly green with the Irish and the holiday, the 5th-century saint's official color was "Saint Patrick's blue," a light shade of sky blue.
