Sometimes we don't have much choice about selling our home and buying another. Circumstances, such as a job relocation, may have made that choice for us. However, most often the decision to move is discretionary. Sometimes people move simply because they think it's a good idea. They feel that "now" is the right time to find their next dream home. So how do you make that kind of decision? There are, of course, many reasons to make a discretionary move. Usually, those reasons fall into one of two categories: need and want. You may need to find a new home, for example, because you've outgrown your current property. Perhaps you have a growing family and require more space. Maybe you're doing more entertaining and need a larger backyard with a more spacious…

Edmonton In-fill projects are ramping up for the busy 2015 season in Edmonton Real Estate. There will be dozens of new duplexs's that will hit market this spring in Edmonton that will offer a super value over many other forms of duplex's in Edmonton.

These Edmonton duplex properties will have fully finished basements with seperate entrances so that you can rent out the basement, and will make it easier on potential home owners to debt service these properties. Be aware when you are purchasing one of these properties, many of them are actually condo's and will have rules and regulations. The builders do this to save themselves money on bringing utilities into a property (approx 30k).

If you are looking at an Edmonton infill, please contact us first…

Have you ever driven up to a restaurant and your first impression was disappointing?

Perhaps the windows looked dark and gloomy, the façade was worn and unattractive or for some other reason it just didn't look like a tempting place to eat.  It could still be a fantastic restaurant – a real gem. But, your first impression has soured your anticipation. If you still walk through the front door, it will likely be with the expectation of being disappointed.  This scenario often plays out in the real estate market as well.   A buyer drives up to a home for sale and quickly forms an impression based on what he sees "from the curb". That's why you'll hear real estate experts talk about the importance of "curb appeal". It's one of the most important selling…

 "Staging” your home is all about making the space in your home as appealing as possible to buyers. You may already know the basics, such as eliminating clutter. Here are some other tips that are less well known yet very effective:

  • Chandeliers. Surprisingly, these are one of the simplest ways to make a foyer, dining room or living room dramatically more eye-catching. You can buy a good-looking chandelier for a few hundred dollars.
  • New linen. This is something many home sellers don't consider, but should. Replace any worn linen – sheets, coverings, towels, and even oven mitts with new ones. Believe it or not, new linen makes a big impression on buyers.
  • Pedestal sinks. It may not be practical for you to replace a bathroom sink. However, if you…
