When it comes to finding a new home, most buyers put together a wish list. This wish list has two sections: need to have and want to have. For example, for some people a pool in the backyard is a need to have. For others, it would only be a want to have. Different buyers have different needs. These needs are based on preference and what is required for each buyer’s particular lifestyle.

Some people are extremely picky when it comes to what they want out of a new home. Others are more relaxed. Either way, there are a number of home features that can make a property more desirable to potential buyers. The list below is not universal; like we said, everyone is different and will want and need different things out of their home. However, this list is a…

Selling your home is a lot of work. There is lots of purging, cleaning, re-organizing, packing, viewing, moving and setting up to be done. Add kids to the mix, and it is a task for only the strongest of heart. However, know that the task ahead is not impossible. You have extra bodies to coordinate, but it has been done successfully before and can be done successfully again.

Realize that your kids are as much a part of the move as you are. They are going to have to say goodbye to the property and all the memories they made. They might be preparing to leave friends behind. They may not understand why you are moving to begin with. This is a huge deal for everyone involved. 

Get your kids excited about the moving process. Explain to them why you are…

The June 2020 Calgary real estate statistics summary was just released by the Calgary Real Estate Board, also commonly referred to as CREB. Here are some of the highlights from their report:

  • "After three months where COVID-19 weighed heavily on the housing market, sales activity in June continued to trend up from the previous month, totalling 1,747 units."
  •  "monthly sales are nearly two per cent lower than activity recorded last year."
  •  Chief Economist Ann-Marie Lurie says, "recent price declines, easing mortgage rates and early easing of social restrictions are likely contributing to the better-than-expected sales this month.

In 2013 when flooding ravaged our beautiful city, the Calgary Stampede released their new slogan for the year: "come hell or high water." In a lot of ways the onset of Summer 2020 has felt similar to 2013, as COVID-19 continues to impact our city. There is a sense of fragility, weariness, and uncertainty about what is to come. People are wondering how as a city--and a world--we will ever come back from the ways this pandemic has impacted us politically, economically, mentally and physically. However, just like in 2013, Calgarians are standing strong, come hell or high water.

In 2020 we have seen and experienced unimaginable suffering. We have also seen and experienced inspiring heroics and hope. The City of Calgary has pulled together to make sure…
