[Feb 21' Update]: Sellers' market in February leads to rising prices!

City of Calgary, March 1, 2021 –

With gains in every price range, residential sales activity in February totalled 1,836.

This reflects the best February since 2014.

“Despite continued COVID-19 restrictions, housing activity continues to improve. Much of the strong sales activity is expected to be driven by exceptionally low mortgage rates,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

Front Walkway Improvements that Boost Curb Appeal

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Your front walkway is one of the first sections of real estate a buyer will set foot on when coming to see your home. So, it makes sense to make that pathway to your front door as appealing as possible.

The obvious way is to make it as clean and clear as you can. Ensure there are no obstacles in the way, such as overhanging branches, kid's toys, or potted plants. What you want is a clear, unobstructed and pleasant walk to your main entranceway.

If your walkway needs deeper cleaning, consider a power-wash. There are special detergents available that are designed specifically for stone, asphalt or cement walkways and other outdoor surfaces.

Check out our interview with Bob Dewar below:

1. How many years in the industry as an agent?

5 Simple Strategies For Paying Your Mortgage Off Faster

Looking to pay your mortgage off faster? Shave years (possibly even decades) off your mortgage loan with the help of these five easy-to-follow strategies:

1. Take Advantage of Increased Payment Options 

Upping your monthly payments, even by the smallest increment, can make all the difference in helping you become mortgage-free faster. While your ability to increase your payments will depend on the terms and conditions outlined in your mortgage, many lenders include prepayment privileges in their contracts.

Keep in mind, however, that if you pay more than the prepayment privilege allows, you may be required to pay a prepayment penalty. Your increased payments will also likely apply until the end of your mortgage term.

2. Make Lump-Sum…
