5 Reasons Why Calgary is Not For You

5 Reasons Why Calgary is Not For You

Calgary is a great city, but it is not for everybody.

As much as we want to invite everyone to move here, there are five reasons why you should not move to Calgary!

Winter Wonderland

There is no denying that Calgary can be a winter wonderland. If you don't like to live in an arctic world, Calgary might not be best for you.

Calgary can have six months of winter, but there is a silver lining with that. Because of the city’s location, it has chinooks (the warm wind coming over from the mountains). The temperature constantly changes and fluctuates, and the weather can be very dry.

If you are not a winter fan and would not likely enjoy winter sports, embrace the outdoors in winter, or you are not…

How to Win in this Crazy 2022 Market

If you have been thinking of making a real estate move but can’t figure out how to win in this crazy Calgary market, this blog is for you!

We gathered the data about all the detached home sales last January. Understanding this data will help you create a winning strategy in making a move within Calgary, Okotoks, Airdrie and Cochrane.

Rockland Park

Rockland Park is one of Calgary's first master plan communities in over a decade in the Northwest. The neighbourhood celebrates connections to the land, nature, history, family, and four seasons of recreation in a breathtaking setting—indeed, a place to connect with nature and each other.

January 2022 Market Update

January 2022 Market Update

January 2022 has been a month that could go down in the record books.

Here's why.

Calgary, for decades, has been a city of great affordability. Prices would always fluctuate with oil and gas markets and have been very up and down. If you are from Calgary or have watched the market, you know this.

January 2022, this may have changed.

Since the last two 'boom' cycles in 2007 & 2014, we haven't seen buyers from other provinces become interested in Calgary or Alberta when it isn't attached to oil & gas. We've always seen the odd investor and investment groups saying buy in Edmonton and Calgary but not the regular home buyer making a life-changing decision to uproot their family and make a move and buying homes without seeing…

Should I Sell My Rental Property?

Should I Sell My Rental Property?

It's early 2022. The market is hot. Now is the best time to sell your rental property in Calgary, and there are five reasons why!

Having rental properties is great, but it can be taxing at times. If you feel like managing and maintaining rental homes is taking a lot of time, and you need to focus on other things in your life, letting go of the property may free up some headspace.

Seller’s Market

It is evident that Calgary, Airdrie, Okotoks, Cochrane, Chestermere, and the surrounding area are now in a seller’s market. A seller's market is a fantastic time to sell your property because there are limited homes for sale in the market.
You could be an accidental landlord because you could not sell your…
