Well, well, well, the media has now said what I've been saying for the last 6 months - the housing surge in Calgary is mystifying. Energy industry consolidation, a weak job market, and tepid growth will eventually catch up to Calgary. Low interest rates are not what a solid real estate market is founded upon. https://www.theglobeandmail.com//article-calgary-and-edmo/

Conducting showings for your prospective tenants is another critical part of the tenant acquisition process. Save yourself the trouble of multiple appointments and have an open house for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. This is your best opportunity to showcase your lovely property and yourselves to your future tenants. Create an inviting atmosphere by making your property show-worthy; if you need to, bribe your outgoing tenants to clean up their cheetos and toss out thei...r Tinder dates before the open house Also, project yourselves as the ideal landlords - organized, open, and fair - to attract the best people. Lastly, do an open house with a friend or partner to get a second opinion and for safety! I'm just a regular guy who has been investing in Calgary real estate for a few years. Get an unvarnished opinion from me about the state of the market and being a landlord. Building financial resiliency through real estate is easier than you think. #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #yychomeowners

After two postponements, my past CFA exam is set (for now!) in May. Starting Monday, this is my new place to hang out with all of my best friends: yield curve strategies, Sharpe ratios, and portfolio theory. Send some prays and karma my way! Once I get the pass and my reward of a triple Big Mac for a job well done, I look forward to continuing to apply my knowledge to the Calgary real estate market and giving my clients an edge that my peers cannot! #kampsrealty ... #strategicrealestate #cfa #cfalevel3 #cfaexam #cfainstitute #cfaprogram #mcdonalds #auburnbayyyc #yycauburnbay #yycrealtors #yycrealestate See more

If I took all of my kids Lego and melted it down, I could make a sphere the size of the wrecking ball in that Miley Cyrus video. Her amazing talent aside (sarcasm), don't underestimate the generosity of grandparents and aunts and uncles with your young kids. As a young parent, your house will be exploding with all sorts of toys and clothes. Account for this when buying your next home. Major decisions, like buying or selling a house, need an informed opinion. Come see me to ge...t one, not a sales pitch. #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #yycinvestmentproperties #yychomeowners #yycfamily #yycfamilies #yycfamilylife #yycyoungcouple #yycyoungprofessionals #yycyoungfamilies #yycyoungparents #yycliving

Congratulations to Darrell H. for winning the trivia question in my latest Quarterly Newsletter! Eddie Van Halen's guitar "Bumblebee" was buried with Dimebag Darrell from Pantera in 2004. Darrell H won a $50 gift certificate to Big Sky BBQ in Okotoks @big_sky_bbq . Sign up on my Instagram account for your chance to win next time and get some great insights into the local real estate market. My assessment is that Calgary is in the middle of a Slump, with further room to go dow...n in terms of value. Ultra-low interest rates from COVID are propping up home prices right now. However, the future is most uncertain right now. Major decisions, like buying or selling a home, need an informed opinion. Come to me to get one. #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #yychomeowners

The Calgary real estate market continues to defy expectations and show strength in prices, albeit unevenly as affordable detached homes gain whereas apartments downtown and in the suburbs continue to struggle. I discuss these trends, the labour market, and the effect of interest rates in my Quarterly Newsletter being release this week. I present my thoroughly unvarnished and sarcastic thoughts on where I think the real estate market is heading. Sign up by clicking on the web...site link on my Instagram profile. And yes, my views are my own so I can bring you facts and sound decisions! #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #yycnewsletter #yycauburnbay #auburnbayyyc

Monthly stats for Auburn Bay are in and strong price increases in detached continue to attest as to the desirability of this neighbourhood for young families who want a real community with fantastic people. It's why I'm proud to call this place home! #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #yycauburnbay #auburnbayyyc

Mahogany has seen strong price growth since last year, as buyers seek affordability and space due to the pandemic. This trend won't end soon. Mahogany probably has the most family friendly amenities out of any community in Calgary. A young family would be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't at least take a drive through it and looked at the beaches (in summer), the lake, and wetlands. #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #mahoganyyyc #yycmahogany #yycmahoganylake #yycfamily #yycfamilies #yycfamilylife #yycyoungparents #yycyoungfamilies

McKenzie Towne is benefitting from the flight to safety, affordability, and space. Strong price increases year over year mirror the overall Calgary market. McKenzie Towne offers all of the amenities that one could want: High Street, lots of parks, great schools, and easy access to Stoney and Deerfoot. If you want to escape the downtown area, MacT is worth a look. It's where my wife and I first bought when we moved to Calgary and didn't regret it. Fantastic community! #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #mckenzietowne #mckenzietowneyyc #yycmckenzietowne #yycmckenzietownecalgary

January stats for Midnapore indicate strong price increases in detached and semi-detached compared to last year, as COVID has caused buyers to seek affordability and space. Midnapore is one of the best nighbourhoods for families as I lived there for many years! #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #midnapore #midnaporeyyc #yycmidnapore #midnaporelake #yycfamily #yycfamilylife #yycfamilies #yycyoungparents #yycyoungfamilies

Seton is still in its infancy, with most available homes coming from builders whose sales don't hit the real estate board stats, but adjacent neighbourhoods are seeing strong price growth in detached as buyers seek affordability and space. Being one of the best up and coming neighbourhoods in Calgary next to the hospital doesn't hurt either! Phases 108 and 111 are available. #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #yycinvestmentproperties #setonyyc #yycseton

It's almost as though Sundance real estate has never felt the negative effects of COVID, as the benchmark detached price has increased 7.3% since last year. Sundance offers space and affordability, which is what the market wants right now! #kampsrealty #strategicrealestate #yycrealestate #yychomes #reatestatestrategy #realestateinvesting #stateofthemarket #yycrealestatestrategy #yycstateofthemarket #yycinvestmentproperty #yycincomeproperties #yycrentals #incomepropertyyyc #y...ycinvestmentproperties #yychomeowners #sundanceyyc #yycsundance See more
