The economy deeply effects the housing market. This may seem obvious; after all, you hear it time and time again. However, it is important to know exactly how and why the economy effects the housing market. This is important because these two things impact the lives of Calgarians and people everywhere deeply; two of our most common basic needs are shelter and financial resources. Let's learn how they interact.

Each month the Calgary Real Estate Board releases the previous month's real estate market statistics. Each report begins with a summary of the major trends that emerged, such as the months of supply and benchmark prices. For those of you who read these, or our summaries of them (which you can find here), you may be familiar with CREB's chief…

Tiny houses are all the rage right now, with people living in little spaces no bigger than the bed of a pick up truck. To save money many people are turning to smaller and smaller properties to live small while they pay of student loans, save up for a new vehicle, put extra money towards their retirement fund, etc. While many people cannot imagine living that way, most who do swear by it.

Living small has a lot of benefits, but you have to do it effectively or it will feel like you’re living in a hoarders closet. You don’t want to feel claustrophobic. So, if you are living in a small space, how can you maximize it to contain everything you need but still feel spacious?

1). Be frugal. Do you need five mixing bowls? No you don’t. Only keep the…

Congratulations! You have made the huge decision to put your property on the market. Like so many other Calgarians with homes for sale, you may be feeling the pressure of selling your home during this buyer's market. Conditions do not make selling a home easy right now, which can be frustrating as a homeowner ready for the next step.

While the amount of time a home spends on the market can be heavily influenced by the market, there are a number of reasons why your home may not be selling as quickly as it could. Typically the solution is simple, so here are some things to evaluate:

***Attention all developers and builders!!*** Massive 50x124ft MC-1 corner lot that is currently approved for up-zoning to align with the city of Calgary's "main streets" to the new M-C1 zoning.

This new zoning would allow higher density and would be ideal for a row or front to back 4-plex. This quiet corner location is perfect for the small developers to capitalize on the low prices in the rapidly changing inner city location. Only a few steps to a medical centre and a short walk to trendy restaurants and cafes, easy access to transportation, one block to the river (this area did not flood and is not in the flood zone), a short commute to downtown and fast access West to the mountains. Currently, there is an older bungalow, rented at $1000/month…
