http:// N E W C O N S T R U C T I O N // Are you considering a new build + buying directly from a builder? You can and should use a Realtor for that purchase too! It is equally, if not MORE important to have buyer representation when building a new home. You are purchasing a product blind, without the luxury of seeing the fully finished product before buying. Often the buying experience goes smoothly and you do have warranty protection but if + when something does go wr...ong, it’s important to have someone in your corner. Important: you do need to engage with me prior to going into a show home or reaching out to the builder as they consider you unrepresented otherwise. Let me do that for you! . . . . . . . . . . #newbuild #showhome #building #builders #newconstruction #buyerbeware #knowyouroptions #realtor #movingyou #yycre #yyc #calgary #calgaryrealestate #yycliving #realestate #househunting #tanyaeklundgroup #yycnow #realestate #luxuryrealestate #realty #forsale #home #newhome #buying #substanceyyc #contentphotography#lindsayskeansphotography #calgaryphotographer #yycphotographer See more

http:// M A R K E T R E P O R T // September sales activity jumped to 1,702 units, the strongest September total since 2014. New listings in September improved over last month, but levels remained comparable to the previous year. The increase in sales relative to new listings did prevent any monthly gains in inventory levels, but supply is still down 12% compared to last year. "The recent rise in new listings, combined with low lending rates and softness in prices, has ...helped support some of the recent upward trend in sales," said CREB chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie. "However, conditions vary significantly based on the price range and property type." The adjustment in supply relative to demand has caused the housing market to move toward more balanced conditions. The current 3.7 months of supply represents the most balanced conditions seen for September in over five years. This has helped support some of the recent monthly gains in prices. Total residential benchmark prices have trended up over the past three months, resulting in September prices that are similar to prices recorded at the same time last year. However, the impact of COVID-19 is still present and affecting YTD sales numbers. Looking for more specific community or property type statistics?

http:// A W K W A R D S P A C E S // What the heck do you do with that wasted space under a staircase? I came across some cute + creative ideas in @hgtvmagazine, like: - make a reading nook with built in bench seating - create a workstation or desk space for the kiddos or your new work from home set up - set up a bar {my favorite idea} with a counter top and some floating shelves of various sizes to maximize the odd space ... - create a pet zone including a cozy dog bed or doggy door - build a playroom {especially for the basement under stair space} where the kids can hideout Which of the above would you choose if you had a space to convert? from @brookewagnerdesign + @ryangarvin . . . . . . . . . . #hgtvmagazine #hgtv #decor #interiordesign #homereno #underthestairs #tuesdaytip #tiptuesday #realtor #movingyou #yycre #realtorlife #yyc #calgary #calgaryrealestate #yycliving #realestate #realtorslife #househunting #tanyaeklundgroup #yycnow #realestate #luxuryrealestate #milliondollarlisting #realty #forsale #home #listing #buying

http:// B O W N E S S // Did you know the community of Bowness was once its own town? The former town was amalgamated into the City of Calgary in 1964. The neighbourhood is bordered by the Bow River to the north and east, 16 Avenue to the south, and Stoney Trail to the west. It has the cutest Main Street that has such an old town feel with really great old store fronts + restaurants. As many residents say . . .

http:// R A D O N // Get ready for a long {but IMPORTANT} Tuesday morning read Radon gas isn’t new, but it is something relatively new to many Canadians. So, what is radon? Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas produced by... the breakdown of the uranium in soil, rocks, and water. It is present in all houses. Left unmitigated, high levels of radon can present significant health risks, so testing is an important element of responsible home ownership. Testing is quite easy + inexpensive BUT it does take a while. It is recommended you test for a minimum of 3 months and it is also suggested the sample be taken during fall/winter months. This makes testing not possible when considering a home purchase, unlike other home conditions. Luckily, modifying a house to lower radon levels is relatively inexpensive, with costs being comparable to other home maintenance expenses, and there are a variety of options available. SO it is something I highly recommend you look at doing when you move into your new home. Healthy + safety first! . . . . . . . . . . #tuesdaytip #tiptuesday #homeownership #healthandsafety #radon #radongas #radoninyourhome #crea #healthcanada #radontesting #realtor #movingyou #yycre #realtorlife #yyc #calgary #calgaryrealestate #yycliving #realestate #realtorslife #househunting #tanyaeklundgroup #yycnow #realestate #luxuryrealestate #realty #forsale #home #newhome #buying See more
