Thinking of Underpricing Your Home to Start a Bidding War?

Many homes in the Winnipeg real estate market are selling for tens of thousands of dollars over their list price this spring.

Because of that, some sellers wonder if they should deliberately price their home low to start a bidding war.

But that strategy can sometimes backfire. Underpricing can attract buyers who aren’t qualified to pay the home’s true market value, lead to a lot of unnecessary showings, and in some cases even leave money on the table.

In my newest blog, I explain why accurate pricing based on recent sales data is usually the best strategy when selling your home in Winnipeg.

Winnipeg's winter is here (again), so if your furnace has been making "interesting life choices" lately, it might be trying to tell you something. 😅

I just published a new blog post about how to tell when your furnace needs replacing what your heating options are, and which government and Manitoba hydro rebates and loans can help cover the cost.

If your house is suddenly feeling colder than the last slice of pizza everyone (pretends) they don’t want, it’s time to take a peek. 🍕❄️

Thinking about repairs, upgrades—or possibly moving somewhere with palm trees? I’ve got you.

Yes, people really do sell their homes in winter. And yes — people really do buy them. Even here. Even when your yard is somewhere under a snowbank and the sun clocks out at 4:17PM.

The trick isn’t trying to make the house look like it’s July. It’s simply showing that it’s well cared for, comfortable, and easy to live in during the months that actually matter. I break down how to do that (without turning your life upside down).

Buying or selling a home in Winnipeg built in the 1970s? 🏡 You may come across aluminum wiring—a common issue that can make it harder to secure insurance.

The good news? Aluminum wiring isn’t a dealbreaker! With remedies like pigtailing (an affordable upgrade that can often be done in just a day), homes with aluminum wiring can still be safe, insurable, and marketable.

I just wrote a blog that explains how to identify aluminum wiring, why it’s a concern, and how it can be fixed. If you’re navigating the Winnipeg real estate market, this is a must-read!
