For the first time since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank of Canada (BoC) announced on June 5 a reduction in its overnight interest rate from 5% to 4.75%. What does this mean for homebuyers and homeowners?

While the 0.25% cut won't drastically change things immediately, it's seen as the start of a trend toward lower rates, which will reduce mortgage costs over time.

The BoC's rate influences the interest rates that banks charge for mortgages and loans. This means that people with variable rate mortgages may soon see lower payments as their rates adjust downward.

The impact on your variable rate mortgage depends on its structure:

  • If your payments change with your lender’s prime rate, they may decrease automatically.

Dear Reader,

Have you ever noticed that some TV shows stereotype lawyers, doctors, and even real estate agents like me?

Real estate agents, for example, are often seen hammering in lawn signs, hosting open houses, and making deals.

But, of course, there’s more to the story than that.

Sure, I do a lot of work for my clients during a transaction — helping them find and buy the home of their dreams and, in many cases, helping them sell their current properties, quickly and for the best price.

But there are many less glamorous things I do for clients that don’t make it on a TV show that are still important to you.

I stick with my clients for the long-term, helping them maximize the enjoyment of their homes. I do that by staying in touch…

Many seemingly small things can be a big turn-off to prospective buyers. So, it’s wise to identify and fix these issues when you list.

Here are a few examples.

1. Outdated or Neglected Exterior: Chipping paint, a tired-looking façade, or uninspired landscaping will impact a buyer's all-important first impression. The solution? Fresh paint, power washing, landscape trimming, or even adding new plants.

2. Old or Damaged Appliances: Outdated or broken appliances will get noticed by prospective buyers. The solution? Repair and thoroughly clean them. It might also make sense to invest in new appliances. If you go that route, buy energy-efficient models that look great and they will become a selling point.

3. Unpleasant Odours: We become so…

The Demographia International Housing Affordability report has been the gold standard of people looking at the cost of housing all around the world. Their newly released 2024 report uses a formula that divides the Median House Price by the Median Household Income to rank individual cities. This year, Edmonton was pegged as the most affordable housing market across all of Canada's major markets.

With a median multiple of 3.6, Edmonton was pegged as a "moderately unaffordable" market, whereas Calgary's median multiple of 4.6 was deemed "seriously unaffordable".

Being the least unaffordable housing market in Canada, Edmonton is at least two-thrids more affordable than the most unaffordable market (Vancouver). Furthermore, Edmonton was tied with…
