The pace of residential sales eased again in September, with 435 properties sold across Central Alberta, compared with 463 in August and 5.0% fewer than September last year. Active listings also declined, totalling 1,511 on October 1, down from 1,567 a month earlier, although still 8.5% higher than last October. Sales have decreased each month since June, while inventory has declined for two consecutive months.

Six of the ten local markets we track were balanced in September: Red Deer, Blackfalds, Lacombe, Sylvan Lake, Ponoka and Rocky Mountain House. Penhold and Innisfail favoured sellers, while Clearwater County and Three Hills favoured buyers. Despite these differing conditions, year-to-date sales remained below last year’s totals in every market except Penhold.

National research provides context for the hesitation among some buyers. The Bank of Canada’s second-quarter consumer survey recorded a decline in both home-buying and selling intentions. The Bank of Canada also found that high living costs, trade uncertainty and concerns about inflation and the Middle East conflict were weighing on household spending decisions. CMHC similarly reported that economic uncertainty, modest income growth and borrowing costs were keeping buyers cautious, with improved affordability alone not enough to bring many back into the market.

🔸This extraordinary estate offers a rare blend of charm, space, privacy, and endless potential. Currently being utilized as a Bed and Breakfast, here may be your opportunity to build from current business.

🔸The home itself is absolutely stunning — bright, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed with wide-open living spaces ideal for entertaining, hosting large gatherings, or even operating a charming bed-and-breakfast-style retreat. The layout lends itself perfectly to hospitality, featuring three spacious bedrooms, each complete with its own private en-suite.

🔸Upstairs, you will find a cozy sitting area with two additional hideaway bedrooms tucked away off the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests or family.

🔸The massive kitchen and dining area is truly the heart of the home, displaying beautiful white cabinetry, an abundance of granite countertops, and plenty of room for cooking, dining, and entertaining.

🔸From the main floor, an impressive winding staircase leads to the upper-level sitting room and additional bedrooms, adding elegance and character to the home.

🔸Outside, the property continues to impress with exceptional outbuildings and breathtaking grounds. There is a 25 x 23 garage, an oversized 29 x 43 garage, and a 40 x 60 Quonset divided into two sections.

A lower credit score doesn't automatically mean homeownership is off the table. 🏡

Mortgage requirements vary by lender and loan program, and there may be ways to strengthen an application even when credit isn't where you'd like it to be.

💰 Build your savings – A larger down payment can reduce the amount you need to borrow and may strengthen your overall financial profile, depending on the loan program.

📈 Work on your credit – Paying bills on time, reducing revolving debt, and avoiding unnecessary new credit can help improve your financial position over time.

🏦 Explore your loan options – Some programs may have more flexible credit requirements than others, including certain government-backed options.

🤝 Consider additional support – Depending on the lender and program, a qualified co-borrower may help strengthen an application.

The most important step is understanding where your finances stand and what options are actually available before assuming you can't qualify.
