Purchasing a new home
Buying a home is a major milestone, and there are several important steps to keep in mind to protect your interests. It starts with understanding the difference between seller’s and buyer’s markets, which can have a big impact on your experience and negotiation power. I always recommend working with licensed agents and having clear service agreements in place. Verifying your builder and any warranties, consulting a lawyer for contracts and title checks, and arranging a thorough home inspection can give you real peace of mind. If you’re considering a condo, remember that there are shared property responsibilities and different warranties to look at. My focus is making sure your home buying process is as smooth and informed as possible, with your goals front and center.

Canada’s Housing Market Eyes 2027 Recovery | Your Go To Realtor for Edmonton & Area!
Looking ahead to the next few years in Canadian real estate, we’re seeing early signs of renewed confidence. Resale activity is picking up, inventories are holding steady, and prices are leveling out—all positive indicators as more buyers find themselves in a stronger financial position, thanks in part to improved affordability and employment trends. Many folks who put their plans on pause are now feeling ready to take the next step, supported by better savings and job security. The outlook for 2026 suggests a slight dip in resales (about 4% to 453,000) and a modest decrease in benchmark prices (around 2% to $794,000), but forecasts show growth returning in 2027 across all provinces—even if the recovery isn’t completely smooth or dramatic. With borrowing costs near their lows and rates expected to hold, there’s reason for cautious optimism—though trade tensions and energy prices are still factors to watch. As your Edmonton realtor, my focus is always on making your buying or selling experience as stress-free as possible, and keeping you informed through every market shift so your goals stay front and center.

Canada Fee Cuts Could Unlock Supply | Your Go To Realtor for Edmonton & Area!
Development fees can have a real impact on what it costs to build new homes in Canada, and recent findings from our national housing agency show just how much these fees affect what actually gets built. For example, cutting development fees could make about 14% more residential projects financially possible. In high-demand cities like Toronto and Vancouver, removing these charges could bump up the number of viable projects by around 10%. Toronto, in particular, could reach half its housing supply targets just through these changes. Looking at the numbers, Calgary’s development fees—roughly $4,000 for a one-bedroom high-rise and $9,000 for a detached home—are a fraction of what’s charged in Vancouver, where fees for similar homes range from $20,000 to $33,000. Of course, these fees do help pay for roads, sewers, and city services, so the goal isn’t to get rid of them entirely. Still, lowering fees on family-sized homes could make it easier for new projects to compete, especially in markets where bigger units are priced higher than comparable resale homes. As someone who’s committed to guiding you through every part of your real estate journey, I keep a close eye on these trends so I can help you make informed decisions in our evolving market.
