Since the COVID-19 epidemic, the rise of remote work has dramatically transformed the real estate landscape. Once tethered to specific locations near workplaces, homebuyers and sellers now have a new set of priorities that is reshaping where and how they make real estate decisions.

  1. Location Flexibility: Traditionally, homebuyers focused on living near city centers to cut down on commuting time. With remote work becoming a long-term reality, buyers now prioritize homes in suburban or even rural areas, where they can enjoy more space, privacy, and affordable housing options. This trend has sparked growth in previously overlooked regions, and cities once known as commuter hubs are…

Imagine discovering a true "diamond in the rough." Look no further—you’ve found it! This charming 1904 story-and-a-half home is nestled in one of the most sought-after locations Inglewood has to offer.

Surrounded by three parks, including one directly backing onto the Bow River, and just steps from where the Elbow River flows gracefully into the Bow, this property is also conveniently located across from the Calgary Zoo.

The home retains the charm of its era, featuring high ceilings, original woodwork with large baseboards, a clawfoot tub in the main bathroom, and a vintage kitchen. While the house requires significant TLC to restore it to its original glory, much of the value lies in the…

When it comes to buying an investment property, timing can make all the difference. While many investors focus on the spring or summer markets, fall presents a unique opportunity for savvy buyers to capitalize on several advantages. Here are key reasons why fall is an ideal time to purchase an investment property.

  1. Motivated Sellers: Sellers with homes still on the market in the fall are often more motivated to close a deal before the holiday season or winter. This urgency may translate into price reductions or incentives like covering closing costs. Investors can leverage this motivation to secure a better deal and potentially acquire a property below market value.
  2. Less Competition: By fall, many homebuyers have already completed their…

As the days get shorter and the air becomes crisp, fall brings a unique opportunity to stage your home with a cozy, welcoming ambiance. Whether you’re selling your property or just want to refresh your space, here’s how to stage your home for fall and highlight the season’s best features:
