Get in on the action. (403) 603-8260 today. July is not typically the busiest time of the year for home sales, but as it has with just about everything else, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the old ways out the window. The housing market typically starts off the year slow in the colder months, before warming up in the early spring and usually peaking in about May or June. By later in the summer, sales start to slow, and then go into hibernation through the winter before t...he cycle starts up again. But the arrival of COVID-19 in March has seemingly delayed that schedule, as sales in March and April were wiped out because of lockdowns, and that home selling activity is only now returning to the market.

Rural real estate is a hot topic lately - do you have family or friends considering swapping big city for small town? Have them give us a call! CTV Calgary We are living in a society where people want to grow their own gardens again and they want to have chickens and they want to be a little bit more self sustainable," said Allison IsBell of Lively Realty Ltd in Nanton We offer space. Most of our lots here are larger, you can have a garden you can do those things.... There's been a lot of discussion on COVID and how it will change a lot of things," said Anne Marie Laurie, who's an economist with the Alberta Real Estate Association. "This is one of those things that we'll be looking at. Will it have any change in terms of buying patterns? It will take some time to see if that plays out and one of the things we'll be looking at is, are these (rural) areas still growing at a faster pace following COVID? It's just a bit too early to see anything. Read full article: https://calgary.ctvnews.ca//home-sales-surge-in-rural-albe
