Hot off the press!

RE/MAX's Spring Market Trends Report finds that "Slowly recovering oil prices, low interest rates, and US approval of the Keystone XL pipeline project have renewed buyer optimism in Alberta."

In Calgary, "optimistic move-up buyers are driving demand for detached, single-family homes" and the condo market remains flat due to "considerable inventory".

If you'd like more information about a Calgary neighbourhood, please let us know! We're happy to provide personal insight and market statistic!

This allows emergency response officials to concentrate volunteers on high visibility areas while using Aqua Dams to protect large areas from flooding.

A while back, we answered some basic questions about Real Property Reports in Calgary (and updated again in 2014). Because of seemingly constant price hikes for services from the City of Calgary, we've had to again update our information. 

No one is ever happy with the cost of a Real Property Report and the compliance stamp from the City of Calgary; but the fact remains - an updated real property report with compliance is as important as ever to facilitate a successful real estate transaction in Calgary.

In Calgary, a real property report with City of Calgary compliance is an important document that is generally required to be supplied by the seller of a house or bare land condo before title transfer…
