Outdoor living spaces have become the new heartbeat of homes — even in the winter. They now serve as an extension of the indoors, a place where homeowners can dine, entertain, and relax. So, it’s smart to emphasize the outdoor living potential of your home when you list. Your garden is the first outdoor element potential buyers see. Well-maintained, colourful plants can make a fantastic first impression, so keep the garden lush and appealing. Include a variety of perennial and annual plants that bloom at different times in the season. Consider planting in containers or raised beds for easy maintenance, and use garden ornaments sparingly to keep the focus on the natural beauty of the space. Next, your patio or deck can act as an outdoor living room.…

Savvy Negotiation Helps Win the Deal

 
 
 
Purchasing a home is not the same as buying a product off the shelf. You don’t simply pay the price on the tag and know it’s yours. You can’t just see a home for sale and say, “I’ll take it!”, especially if the market is competitive. You need to make an enticing offer.
That offer, of course, would include the price you propose to pay. That price may or may not be the “price tag” or the asking price. In order for your offer to be successful, it needs other ingredients too. For example, winning offers often include evidence that appropriate financing has been arranged. This gives the…

Dear Reader,

“I feel more comfortable hiring a professional who has been recommended to me,” said just about everyone who’s ever looked for a good accountant, dentist, lawn care company, contractor – you name it. I suspect that’s no surprise to you.

For obvious reasons, people just naturally feel better about contacting a recommended professional than they do a stranger. These days, more than ever before, people are asking for recommendations, from friends, from neighbours, and on social media.

That’s why I work so hard to ensure people in the communities I serve get to know me and how I can help them sell successfully and find their next dream home.

It’s also why I’m dedicated to continually providing value to the prospects I meet and the…

Under current legislation, if a down payment is less than 20%, the longest allowable amortization (the length of time a homeowner has to repay their mortgage) is 25 years. Under the new regulations, first-time homebuyers purchasing newly built homes will be allowed to have 30-year amortization periods on insured mortgages. This change will take effect on August 1, 2024.

Furthermore, effective today the government will raise the amount first-time homebuyers can withdraw from their RRSPs - from $35,000 to $60,000 - to purchase a home.

For any questions, or to discuss any of the above in further detail, don’t hesitate to reach out to the YEGListings Group!

Sales in April rose by seven per cent compared to last year, to 2,881 units. While the pace of growth did ease compared to earlier in the year, sales remain 37 per cent higher than long-term trends for the month. Much of the growth in sales has occurred for relatively more affordable, higher-density products. 

At the same time, there were 3,491 new listings in April, an 11 per cent gain over last year but only three per cent higher than long-term trends. The rise in new listings compared to sales prevented any further deterioration of the inventory situation. However, with 2,711 units in inventory, levels are 16 per cent below last year and half of what is traditionally seen in April.

“While supply levels are still declining, much of…

Cleaning Tips for Instantly Improving Curb Appeal

 
 
 
As you may know, curb appeal refers to how your property looks from the street, where potential buyers first see it. Your home’s curb appeal can have a big impact on the sale of your property.
In fact, it’s not uncommon for a buyer to drive by a listing, rather than stop, because they don’t like what they see.

So, how can you improve your home’s curb appeal quickly? One way is to do some outside cleaning.

Start with the main entryway. Wash down the front door and sweep (or power wash) the front steps. It only takes a few minutes, but you’d be surprised by the impact…
