The Calgary Real Estate Board has released its market statistics update summarizing what happed last month. This is such good information to have, so here are some of the highlights:

  •  "1,857 sales this month."
  • "Year-to-date sales have reached 26,823 and with only two months to go, 2022 will likely post a record year in terms of sales."

Halloween may be Monday, but many people will be celebrating this weekend! If you are one of those people, here are some fun Halloween Party ideas to complete your gathering:

1). Make the theme “Rhymes For No Reason” where people partner up to dress as two words that rhyme together, such as Butcher and Ashton Kutcher, or Fairy and Little House On The Prairie. The more creative the better! Plus, this gives guests lots of options for costumes they can DIY from items they already have. There is no need to drop $200 at Spirit Halloween!

2). If you’re not planning on catering the evening yourself, get everyone to bring a different themed charcuterie board! You can have the standard Crackers, Meat and Cheese, but also options such as a Candy Board,…

Staging your home in the summer, spring and fall is easy(er). The weather is temperate, the days are long with light, and there’s no reason for extra clutter in your home. Staging your home in the winter can be a totally different story. Here are some tips for staging your home in the winter:

1). Keep the holiday décor to a minimum. We are not saying do not decorate at all; in fact, prospective buyers often love to see how magical their future home could be during the holiday season. However, keep it minimalist. Setting up your tree and lights is fantastic, but scale back on all the little holiday knick-knacks and figurines. Staging is about opening up your space, not filling it with even more items.

2). Ensure your entryway is clear. In the…

What a wild ride Calgary Real Estate has been for the past year. Now, more than ever, it is important for all buyers, sellers and investors to stay informed! Knowledge is your greatest asset, and Team Ken Richter is here to support you every step of the way.

The Calgary Real Estate Board has released its monthly market update, capturing the trends observed in September. The big highlight of their report is that as we come to the end of the final quarter, the Calgary real estate market has been leveling back to much more normal conditions. A seller’s market remains, but the type of home people are looking for has shifted. Interest in larger detached homes is easing as buyers seek more affordable options amidst rising interest rates and inflation.

Are you selling your home this fall? Here are some tips:

1). Don’t rely on the market to sell your home for you. While we may be at the tail end of a seller’s market, things are shifting. Gone are the days of every home selling before it’s ever listed for way over asking price. While the market still skews slightly in the seller’s favor, you need to be strategic to set it up for success.

2). Figure out what your home’s selling feature is. Every property has that key, top-of-the-list quality that is it’s best feature. This could be the neighborhood, new appliances, the layout, the zoning for the lot; whatever it is, capitalize on it and highlight it as much as possible.

3). Get staged. Whether you think your home is beautifully decorated and…

Back to school season is in full swing, with many grade schools starting classes as early as August! With the back to school season comes new schedules, activities, processes, people, and so much more. It can be an overwhelming and over-stimulating couple of weeks getting settled into a new routine; so be gracious with yourself and your loved ones as you navigate this transition. We know it’s exhausting, so take care of each other.

One of the ways you can be gentle on yourself and others during this season is to celebrate the start of the school year the best way possible: by ordering take-out and putting on a family-favorite movie. Jen Hatmaker, author and speaker, encourages her readers to make the first Friday of back to school season a pizza…
