IS NOW THE RIGHT TIME TO BUY (OR SELL)? Even amid the current health crisis and the associated uncertainty, there are reasons why homebuyers are chomping at the bit to buy homes.. 1. Mortgage Rates... The biggest reason potential homebuyers are eager to purchase this year is due to current mortgage rates, which are hovering near all-time lows. Today’s low rates are making it more affordable than ever to buy a home, which is a huge incentive for purchasers. 2. Reduced Spending Some people have been able to save a little extra money over the past few months while sheltering in place. One of the upsides of staying at home is that many have been able to work remotely and minimize extra spending on things like commuting expenses, social events and more. For those who fall into this category, they may have a bit more saved up for a down payment and closing costs, making purchasing a home more feasible. 3. Re-evaluating home-spaces Spending time at home has also given buyers a chance to really evaluate their living space, whether renting or as a current homeowner. With time available to craft a wish list of what they really need in their next home, from more square footage to better suited neighbourhood, they’re ready to make it happen. With these 3 factors in play, the demand for housing will keep growing this year, especially over the summer as more communities continue their phased in approach to re-opening. Buyers can take advantage of additional savings and low mortgage rates. And if you’re thinking of selling, know that your home may be in high demand as buyer interest grows and the number of homes for sale continues to dwindle. This may be your moment to list your house and make a move into a new space as well!

MEET JOANNE A little bit about me.. I was born in England and have been living in Canada for the last 30 years, most of those years in beautiful Calgary. I have a background in finance and to fulfill the left side of my brain, I am a qualified Graphic Designer. I took the leap over to real estate after working with Realtors, builders and interior designers in a design capacity and knew that I would be able to utilize my skill set to my clients advantage. The amazing people I'...ve met in this career have made my life so full, I’ve loved every minute of it! I have two beautiful children who are the light of my life, and a husband who has been my rock for 28 years. When I’m not working, you’ll find me with my family, running on the many trails in and around Calgary, sipping wine on a patio with friends or reading a good book. I would be honoured to be part of your home selling/buying journey, and we’ll have fun at the same time, I promise See more
