Jay Kern - CIR Realty REALTOR® | CIR Realty | Central Alberta. Helping families find the lifestyle they're after.

Red Deer • Innisfail • Sylvan Lake • Lacombe • Penhold | 587-802-1500 | linktr.ee/kernrealty I believe that your home is your sanctuary and should be treated as such. Whether you’re buying your first home or seeking that dream retirement residence, the experience should be nothing less than seamless. As a family man and homeowner, I understand that your home is more than just a place to live — it's a place to create lasting memories for you and your loved ones. I help my clients navigate the often challenging waters of the home buying and selling process, with the end result being a wonderful experience. When I’m not busy helping clients, I enjoy spending time with my wife, Roberta, and our family. Together, we enjoy going to the mountains, hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.

A draft-free home isn't just about comfort — it's about knowing your space is working as hard as you are.

Weatherstripping, caulking gaps, and checking seals around windows and doors are the kind of maintenance details that buyers notice. They signal a home that's been cared for.

Mortgage rates are shifting — and it's worth knowing where they sit right now, whether you're thinking about a move or coming up on a renewal.

For a bit of context, the prime rate is a quarter of a percentage point lower than it was a year ago — so if it's been a while since you looked, the picture isn't what it was.

I've put together a snapshot of some current discounted rates worth a look.

$679,000. That is CREA's benchmark price for a typical single-family home in Calgary this August.

Here is the part most people miss: it stopped climbing. Calgary's benchmark peaked in January 2025, and it has been close to flat for the nineteen months since. In the two years before that peak, it rose nineteen percent.

So if that is your budget and you are looking at Red Deer, what does it actually buy?

Not a bigger house. At $650,000 to $720,000, the Red Deer and Calgary homes that sold over the last twelve months were about the same size.

What changes is everything around the house. For the same money, the Red Deer homes were about eleven years newer, on roughly a third more land.

Last night a few of us from CIR Realty traded open houses for aprons at Ronald McDonald House in Red Deer, cooking and serving dinner for the families staying there.

These are families with a child in hospital, often a long way from home. A hot meal they don't have to plan is a small thing, but it's one less thing on a hard day.

Thank you to the Ronald McDonald House team for having us. 💙

📊 How Red Deer home values have changed — the two years through August 2026

These track the same benchmark home over time, so they follow the market rather than whichever homes happened to sell:

🏡 Detached +10.1%
🏘️ Row / Townhouse +18.7%
🏢 Apartment +15.8%
🏠 Semi-Detached +10.9%

Across all home types, values are +11.8% over two years. The past year on its own has been steadier — up modestly over the past year.

Two years tells a truer story than one, and one year tells a truer story than one month. Curious what YOUR home has done? Reply "value" and I'll follow up with a detailed report — or let's book a quick call.

Fall maintenance isn't glamorous — but it's one of the smartest moves you can make before winter hits hard.

Think of it this way: a few hours now checking your basement for cracks, testing your heating system, and trimming back tree branches keeps you ahead of costly repairs later.

Your home's got to carry you through the cold season. Let's make sure it's ready.

Thinking about a move, or want to talk about getting your current place winter-ready? Let's book a quick call.
