Why sell in the winter? Believe it or not, for most sellers, it can be more enjoyable to have their home on the market in the winter!! You may ask Why?? Well, here are a few benefits:1. Way less lookee Lous - Most people don't LOVE looking at houses in the winter because its so cold and snowy. Those that are actually out there looking, are typically VERY serious buyers. This way, you are only leaving your home for people that are serious about buying NOW!! In the summer, it tends to bring people out that are "just throwing around the idea of buying". Showings are further between, however they are serious buyers.2. Because the market has slowed down, buyers are able to take their time looking at homes and making solid decisions (and not rushed ones) when putting in offers. Buyer's remorse is way less likely to happen in the winter time.3. For Buyers, you're able to see how well the home is insulated. When the weather is cold outside, it can easily translate inside if the home isn't properly insulated. These are the type of issues that will come up on a property inspection at this time of the year.These are just a few benefits of buying and selling now, rather than waiting until Spring.

While at our Remax Convention in Quebec City, we had the pleasure of listening to an Economic Forecast presented by Benjamin Tal, managing director and deputy chief economist of CIBC. Where we are sitting at now with the Bank of Canada rate is sustainable. With all the new Immigrants to Canada this year and the coming years, he predicts that the economy should start looking better come 2024.This being said, things are NOT bad right now. Prime rate is at somewhat at a normal standing when you take a look at past history. The media is putting fear into everyone about the Economy and Housing prices. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to share some of Edmonton's Real Estate Stats. This will show you that yes, things have slowed down (which is a good thing as we COULD NOT sustain what our market was doing earlier this year) but we are back to a normal market which will benefit both buyers and sellers.Today I'm sharing with you the Average Sale Price for Edmonton and Area over the past 5 years. It wouldn't be a bad thing if we returned back to where the average sale price was in 2021.

The Real Estate Market has been a buzz of predictions over the past few months with the rise in the Bank of Canada rate. The media has taken a hold of it and have scared people into thinking our real estate market is going to take a nose dive.
Well, I"m here to provide you with some factual statistics to show that we are at a normal spot when it comes to the average sale price for a single family home at this time of the year in Edmonton and Area.
These are stats straight fromthe Realtors Association of Edmonton covering the Edmonton and Area Real Estate Market.
As you can see, our market took a ridiculous spike in Jan/Feb of this year. It was something our economy couldn't sustain and something needed to be done about it. Hence the rise of Interest Rates and the intentional slow down of the market. Our stats are now at a similar spot for the average sale price for a SFH as they were last year...........and that was a tad higher than in previous years.

Below is a statement from RECA regarding real estate agent services as an essential service (issued March 28, 2020):
The Government of Alberta has deemed real estate agent services, and services that provide access to credit, stocks or other forms of liquidity or finance to individuals, groups or businesses to be essential services. This exempts licensed real estate and mortgage professionals from restrictions during the COVID-19 outbreak, as long as they follow all public health guidelines, including physical distancing measures.
This means brokerages will not need to shut down operations at this time. Albertans rely on these professional services, and brokerages are encouraged to remain open.
"RECA's mandate is first and foremost to protect the public, and it remains our highest priority," said Duane Monea, Administrator of the Real Estate Council of Alberta. "By being deemed an essential service, real estate and mortgage professionals have been given a great responsibility in assisting Albertans during this crisis. I am confident the industry will meet the challenge, and adapt their business practices in order to protect the health and safety of the public."
Firstly, professionals must ensure they explain to their clients the impacts of COVID-19 in their real estate or mortgage transaction, and discuss all options together with their advantages and disadvantages, so their clients can make informed decisions. Professionals can be a reliable source of information on minimizing any health risks involved in trading in real estate or dealing in mortgages at this time. Professionals should point clients to RECA's COVID-19 for Real Estate Consumers' website.
Secondly, professionals must also assess their own risk, and remain vigilant to their health, the health of their clients, and the health of their colleagues. They must take steps to minimize their health risks and stop the spread of COVID-19.
"Real estate and mortgage professionals must follow the direction and guidance of Alberta's Chief Medical Officer of Health to reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19," continued Monea. "Professionals must have honest discussions with their clients about the risks during a real estate transaction or mortgage deal, and must explore alternatives to minimize that risk."
Review the industry-focused COVID-19 and Real Estate webpage for information on discussions with sellers and buyers, along with FAQs and specific information for mortgage brokers, on amending contracts, and for residential and commercial property managers.
"I also want to thank the various trade associations for the work they are doing to reduce risk, in particular the Alberta Real Estate Association in respect to the holding of open houses," said Monea. "Open houses pose an unreasonable risk to real estate professionals and the public."
RECA will continue to update all industry professionals and the public if any further directives from the government will impact the industry, and offer advice on how to continue offering the high level of service the Alberta public expects.
RECA will continue operations as the Government of Alberta has deemed all enforcement and regulatory services as essential.
