One of the biggest things I’ve learned working in real estate. ⏬

Is how important it is to stay connected with your clients.

Whether someone is a current client or someone I worked with years ago, I think it’s really important that they still feel remembered, important, and genuinely cared for long after the sale is complete. 🔑

I always try to stay in touch in small meaningful ways — whether it’s my quarterly newsletter mail outs, Christmas cards and little gifts, holiday check-ins, grabbing a coffee, or simply reaching out to see how life is going.

Over the years, I’ve also learned that the people you’ve helped along the way are often sharing their experience working with you with friends, family, neighbours, and coworkers. 🏡

It’s those little personal touches and continued connections that keep you top of mind.

Real estate is such a personal experience and often a big life change, so those relationships truly mean a lot to me. 🥰

Many of my clients have become friends, repeat clients, and part of my community.

Client Review TIME

So grateful to be part of this families journey in 🤍

From the search to finding the right fit, and now seeing it come to life as a refreshed Airbnb.

It’s been such a special journey to be part of.

“It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kathie. She has been patient and supportive in our search for a second home/rental property in Canmore.

In our journey from understanding the market in Canmore, to identifying what would work best for our family, to identifying the right property, Kathie gave us the information we needed and gave us the space and time to explore.

Her responsiveness allowed us to move quickly on the right property. Her diligence and thoroughness made the purchasing process much more manageable.

We wholeheartedly recommend Kathie.” Ewok ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

🏡 Spring buyers are moving fast in Canmore & Banff!

If you’re selling, your home needs to be market-ready—clean, organized, and easy for someone to walk in and instantly feel at home. ✨

You don’t need to spend thousands on renovations—but a little attention goes a long way.

🧹 Deep clean & declutter
🎨 Fresh, neutral touch-up paint
💡 Bright lighting & sparkling windows
🛋️ Clear surfaces & simplified furniture

🌿 Curb appeal matters
First impressions start outside! Tidy walkways, clean windows, and no clutter make your home feel cared for from the very first glance.

💫 Why it matters:

Renovated, refreshed, feel-good spaces create that “I can see myself here” moment—and those are the homes buyers act quickly on.

📊 First Quarter 2026: Canmore Real Estate Update

The Canmore market kicked off 2026 with steady momentum! 💫

🏡 Over 110 properties sold in Q1, including 11 above $2M – the luxury market is holding strong.

💼 Short-term rentals remain very active, with several high-value sales highlighting demand for both investment and lifestyle properties.

2 tourist homes sold over $2.5M + 1 hotel/condo is conditionally sold over $3.25M — wow!

⏱️ Single-family homes under $1.5M? Gone in days, sometimes with multiple offers. You have to keep your eye on these when they hit the market.

🌄 A 1.06-acre hotel development site in Canmore’s Gateway District (360° mountain views!) is under conditional sale for just under $11M — a prime Bow Valley opportunity.

The market is balanced, and spring is bringing fresh opportunities for both buyers and sellers. 🌷

Thinking of buying or selling this spring? Let’s chat — I’d love to help you find your place in Canmore or the Bow Valley. 🏔️

Life lately… ✨

I know I’ve been a little quiet on here, but behind the scenes, it’s been a busy (and exciting!) few weeks.

I recently helped a couple scoop up an amazing short-term rental — right in their price range, with a fantastic view and strong rental potential 🙌

Coming soon… 🏡
A well-loved half duplex with a suite, a fully fenced yard, and just minutes to downtown. Full of charm, potential… and one you’ll want to keep your eye on 👀

I’ve also been showing homes with two of my favourite couples who are ready to upsize here in Canmore.

It’s a fast-moving market right now, but I love helping my clients find the right fit before properties fly off the market.

On top of that, I’m searching for a couple more great investment opportunities for buyers looking to get into the short-term rental market — so if you know of anything, keep me in mind.

It’s been an exciting spring season, and I’m so grateful to be working with such wonderful people and helping them find the right fit — not just a home, but a lifestyle here in the mountains 💛

More to come soon…

After seeing hundreds of homes in Canmore, I’ve learned one thing: not all renovations add value — some quietly cost you when it’s time to sell.

From garage conversions to removing the only bathtub, over-the-top kitchens, unpermitted DIY projects, losing bedrooms, carpet, loud decor and finishes — these are the mistakes I see most often.

A few smart updates can make a huge difference. The wrong ones? They can quietly cost you thousands.

📊 Let’s have a look at what’s happening in the Canmore real estate market as we head into 2026! 🏔️

Canmore continues to be in high demand — one of Canada’s hottest spots for recreational homes, second only to Whistler.

Here’s a snapshot of the market:

🏡 Detached homes – Premium segment, median prices around $1.78M in 2025; highly sought-after and often sell quickly. Up 10% year-over-year.

🏘️ Semi-detached homes – Pricing around $1.4M, offering a more accessible option than detached homes while still providing space and strong buyer interest.

🏘️ Townhouses – A balanced segment with median prices around $1.06M+, ideal for move-up buyers.

📉 Condos – Entry point in the mid-$600Ks; cooling slightly and creating opportunities for first-time buyers, investors, or weekend homes.

🏠 Short-term rentals (STRs) are booming — sales up 60% over five years, values up 76% since 2020, with ~15% of local homes used as STRs (proper zoning and licensing required).

📈 Looking ahead to 2026 – Modest growth is expected, keeping Canmore a highly desirable market. Buyers love Canmore’s community and outdoor lifestyle, not just the views.

💡 Tip from a local – Canmore’s homes move fast. Understanding neighborhoods, zoning, lifestyle fit, and market trends can make all the difference.

💬 Thinking about a mountain getaway or a full-time move? DM me anytime — I’d love to help you find the right property for your lifestyle or investment goals.

One thing I love about living in Canmore that surprised me…�

It’s the community.

Over the years, I’ve realized it’s not just the mountains, the scenery, or the pace of life that make this place special — it’s the people.

Seeing familiar, friendly faces, sharing things in common, and being part of a community that genuinely cares makes living here feel meaningful.

People move to Canmore for the lifestyle — the slower pace, the small-town friendliness, and the chance to live surrounded by beauty.

And being part of that community inspires you to contribute, to care, and to show up for the place you call home.

For anyone I’ve had the privilege of helping move here, I hope they’ve found this little piece of magic too — that same sense of belonging and connection that makes Canmore so special.

That’s what keeps me here, and what makes Canmore feel like more than a beautiful mountain town — it makes it feel like home.
