Staging is all about dressing up your home so that it looks its best to buyers.
This can involve anything from rearranging furniture and doing some home
improvements, to painting and redecorating, to even replacing existing
furnishings and other items. The goal is to make key rooms look worthy of a
magazine cover!
But is it worth the effort? Can’t you just clean and tidy and, perhaps, do a little
painting?
Sometimes you can — especially if your home is in high demand and likely to
get multiple offers.
However, in most cases, staging can help sell your property faster and for a
higher price.
In fact, studies done by the home staging industry consistently reveal that
staged homes sell for an average of 5-23% above list price. (That varies, of
course, depending on…

Your front walkway is one of the first sections of real estate a buyer will set
foot on when coming to see your home. So, it makes sense to make that
pathway to your front door as appealing as possible.
The obvious way is to make it as clean and clear as you can. Ensure there
are no obstacles in the way, such as overhanging branches, kid's toys, or
potted plants. What you want is a clear, unobstructed and pleasant walk to
your main entranceway.
If your walkway needs a deeper cleaning, consider a power wash. There are
special detergents available that are designed specifically for stone, asphalt
or cement walkways and other outdoor surfaces.
A deep cleaning isn't a major project. In most cases, the job can be done
within an hour. Yet, the result can be stunning.

When you’re shopping for a home, you may become interested in a property for sale that someone else is also considering. In fact, there may be several
other buyers entertaining the idea of making an offer.
In such a competitive situation, what should you do if you really love that
home?


Obviously, you’ll need to move quickly and make some fast decisions.
Start by making certain the property fits within your price range. The last thing
you want is to have an offer accepted and find out it is beyond your budget.
That’s why it’s a good idea to arrange for financing before you go home
shopping.


Next, you want to make an offer that is so enticing to the sellers that they’ll put your offer at the top of the pile, if not close to it. So, what makes…

City of Calgary, February 1, 2021 –

January sales were the highest they have been for the month since 2014, as housing market momentum from the end of 2020 carried over into the start of 2021.

Sales activity improved across all product types and across all price ranges.

“Discount lending rates are exceptionally low, which is likely attracting all types of buyers back into the market,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

“New listings in the market were also slightly higher than what was available over the past two months, which is providing more options to purchasers.”

January’s new listings were 2,246 relative to the 1,208 sales in the market, causing inventories to edge up over December levels. These types of movements are typical…

Calgary, Jan. 26, 2021 – In 2020, housing markets across the country surprised many with a stronger-than-expected rebound in the second half of the year despite record-high unemployment rates and significant job losses.

Calgary did not hit record-high sales or prices in the third or fourth quarters, but still posted some of the strongest sales relative to the past five years. This was nearly enough to offset the initial losses recorded during the first shutdown caused by the pandemic.

“It is expected some of the momentum recorded at the end of 2020 will continue into 2021, fueled by exceptionally low lending rates and pent-up demand,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB® Chief Economist.

“While sales are expected to rise by nearly five per cent on…
