If you’re looking to de-stress, reclaiming your personal space can be a great way to reset your routine and make a fresh start. It’s also a good opportunity to clear out clutter. Even small changes can reduce your stress and help spaces feel easier to live and work in. Here are some ways to get started:

At home
- Start small by decluttering one area at a time, focusing on surfaces you see every day like counters, tables and couches.
- Gather items you rarely use into a box and revisit it after a few months to decide what to keep, donate or sell.
- Reduce paper clutter by switching to paperless billing where possible.
Improve air quality by changing furnace or air conditioning filters as needed and keeping indoor humidity below 50 per cent.

In your car
- Keep a small garbage bag handy to prevent clutter from building up.
- Vacuum seasonally and remove salt or gravel from floor mats.
- Clean dashboards and doors with a cloth and warm water instead of chemical cleaners.
- Avoid air fresheners or deodorizing products that can irritate your airways.

At work
- Keep only the items you use every day on your desk.
- Clear papers and unnecessary items at the end of each day and keep a recycling bin nearby.
- Organize documents into folders and store them in a drawer close to your workspace.
- Adjust your setup for comfort by keeping your monitor at eye level and your keyboard properly positioned.

Small changes can help you refresh your spaces. Find more tips and resources at cooperators.ca.

Did you know that, according to Public Safety Canada, flooding is the most common natural disaster in Canada? It’s also the most costly. There are simple steps you can take to better protect your home when water rises.

Here are some tips from the prevention team at Intact Insurance:
Outside your home: It’s all about managing drainage. Any rain that falls on your home needs to be able to flow away freely. Check the grading around your home and make sure that it slopes downward away from your foundation for at least six feet. Your downspouts also need to empty out the same distance away. Otherwise, water can sit against the foundation and weaken it over time. If it’s safe, clear nearby storm drains of debris, and clean your own eavestroughs regularly.

Inside your home: Indoor flood management comes down to two main things:
- Staying aware: Install flood alarms in your basement, near plumbing pipes or near appliances, and check them regularly to ensure they are in working order. Set up a regular schedule to check your pipes and plumbing fixtures for leaks. One trick is to dry off a set of pipes and put paper towel or printer paper under them for at least 12 hours to check for drips. Make sure to store any valuables in your home, or hazards like oil containers, at least 30 centimetres above the floor.
- Checking your equipment: Consider installing a backwater valve and sump pump if you don’t already have them. Even if you don’t have a basement, floodwater can still accumulate in the crawlspace and damage your foundation. Set up a schedule to clean out your flood drain and backwater valve and test the sump pump twice a year.

By making sure they have the right equipment inside and proper drainage outside, Canadian households can be much better prepared for flooding risk. You can learn more about protecting your home from flood and water damage at keepitintact.ca.

“Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.” – James Cash Penney

Calgary recorded 2,104 home sales in April 2026, down 5.7% from the same time last year.

That slowdown isn't a surprise to most analysts. The urgency that defined Calgary's market over the past few years, fuelled by rapid population growth and tight supply, has eased. Buyers have more options and less pressure to act fast, particularly in the condo and row home segments.

Seasonal spring activity kept things moving, but the broader trend points to a market finding a more sustainable pace after an exceptional run.

Buying or selling this spring? The right strategy looks very different depending on your property type and neighbourhood. Let’s talk to make sure you're positioned for today's market.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Victoria Day long weekend! 🇨🇦

Calgary benchmark prices in April 2026 are down across the board, but not equally.

The detached segment held up best at $745,400 (down just 2.73% year over year), and semi-detached was nearly flat at $690,200 (down 0.29%). Row housing and apartments felt more pressure, with row homes at $422,900 (down 6.95%) and condos hitting $301,400 (down 8.89%).

The pattern is consistent with what analysts are seeing: lower-density properties are weathering the correction far better than the condo market, where record-high completions and softer demand are weighing on values.

If you're a buyer, there are real opportunities right now, especially in condos and row homes. If you're selling, pricing strategy matters more than ever. Let’s connect to discuss how to position yourself correctly in today's segmented market.

In line with seasonal expectations, both sales and inventory levels trended up relative to March’s activity. Despite this typical monthly rise, April sales totalled 2,104 units, six per cent lower than levels reported in 2025.
“Sales were expected to ease this year as our market transitioned away from strong demand that was driven by previously rapid migration growth. Improved supply choice across the entire housing spectrum has reduced the urgency among potential purchasers, helping our market shift away from seller’s market conditions to more balanced conditions,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB®’s Chief Economist. “However, the trend of limited supply choice in the detached market continues, while conditions favour the buyer in the apartment condominium market.”

With 3,829 new listings in April, the sales-to-new-listings ratio remained at 55 per cent, supporting a modest monthly gain in supply. Inventory levels reached 5,973 units, nearly two per cent higher than levels reported last April. Overall, the months of supply remained just below three, representing relatively balanced conditions. However, this ranged from just over two months for detached homes to over four months for apartment-style homes.

The unadjusted total residential benchmark price trended up compared with March, reaching $568,800. The monthly gain was mostly associated with seasonal improvements, which is expected heading into the spring market. Monthly gains were higher in the detached and semi-detached segments. Overall, compared with the previous year, prices remain three per cent lower, with modest year-over-year declines in the detached and semi-detached sector, while declines neared nine per cent for apartment-style units.

So far in 2026, conditions have varied, ranging from seller’s market conditions and price growth for detached homes in some parts of the city to buyer’s market conditions and price adjustments in the apartment condominium sector.

To every mom who has turned a house into a home, happy Mother's Day! 🌷

The true value of a home goes far beyond the listing price. It's built by the people inside it. Wishing all moms a day filled with love and gratitude. 💛
