Having spent over 21 years in Airdrie - I've not only raised my son here, my husband has loved our city as much as I do. We are so very proud to consider Airdrie our home and will never leave.  

As I child I moved around a lot, with different postings my Dad had with the RCMP.  Our family made a home across Canada - finding Airdrie for my own family - and staying in one place has been amazing.

Voted by Airdrie Residence as their favorite Realtor over the years not only made my heart skip a beat but truly made me feel at home.

Our next adventure beings with my son graduating high school and spreading his wings to a higher education.  All the while working in our great city for gas money.

Considering a home in Airdrie and surrounding areas... I'd would welcome your call and...

Recenlty I have buyers "first timer buyers" to "move up"

Its been a very busy market for any homes under the

$350,000.00 price range - and I've shown all of them.

Still what amazes me is some of the condition of the 

homes....  buyers are still very selective and if the home

doesn't show well.  They move onto the next one.

My point...no matter what price range your home is listed in.... you have to 

have a clean, clutter, and smell free home to sell.  

Welcome to our Home...can take on a  whole new meaning...when buyers are running out the door.  

Over the Holidays I recieved a very lovely card from a past client.  Her warms words of thanks and appreciation just set my thoughts to warmth.  What the season was all about.  She has settled in her condo with her beloved companion "Princess" a warm and fuzzy little dog.  I so enjoy hearing from a client.

Ways To Repel Household Pests

 

Ant Traps

Here's an easy, inexpensive way to round up the ants that begin to invade your house each summer.

What You'll Need:
3 cups (750 ml) water
1 cup (220 g) sugar
4 teaspoons borax
3 clean 250 g screw-top jars
Cotton balls
Old-style beer-can opener (that cuts V-notches)

What To Do:
1. In a jug, mix the water, sugar and borax together. Loosely pack the jars half-full of cotton balls and saturate the balls with the solution.
2. Pierce jar lids with the can opener, making 2 or 3 holes just large enough to admit ants.
3. Place the baited jars where ants are active, but make sure jars are out of the reach of pets and children. Attracted by the lethal sugar and boric acid...

For years, Canadian forestry producers have been hit
by a stream of bad news. A strong Canadian dollar,
trade disputes with the Americans over softwood
lumber, mountain pine beetles and forest fires were
unrelenting challenges for the industry, reducing
production and profitability. It also resulted in a good
deal of downsizing and closing older, less efficient
mills. But in 2012, prices for lumber and panelboard in
North America started to rise, lifted by the slow-butsteady
recovery in U.S. homebuilding.

Generations X and Y Will Prove They Believe in Homeownership

Contrary to what many have hypothesized over the last few years, young adults (18-35 year olds) are just as committed to homeownership as previous generations. Recent studies have shown:

• 43% already own a home
• 72% see homeownership as part of their personal American Dream
• 93% of those currently renting plan to buy a home

This, along with the increase in household formations mentioned above, makes us believe that 2013 will be the year that many of these young adults will jump into homeownership

Unfortuately there are many foreclosures properties in Calgary…

While you can buy some foreclosure real estate at below-market prices, it also brings a unique set of circumstances that you may not encounter in a more typical home buying scenario.

Many markets saturated with foreclosed properties, more prospective homebuyers are taking a closer look at these types of properties than ever before. Purchasing a foreclosure isn't just a simple matter of scoring a dirt-cheap bargain, however. What should you worry about--or not--when buying a foreclosed property?

Foreclosures being sold by banks have long been an attractive opportunity for real estate investors. But today many consumers are purchasing them as primary residences.

The big attraction of purchasing a foreclosure is the expectation...

The coming year will see a rise in mortgage rate comparison websites, variable-rate mortgage discounts and non-prime lending, according to The Globe and Mail.

Highlighting likely real estate industry trends for 2013, the newspaper’s Robert McLister predicts that, among other things, the proliferation of digital media will result in more popularity for mortgage rate comparison websites.

Meanwhile, McLister also forecasts that variable-rate mortgages will increase in popularity due to steeper discounts.

Finally, McLister predicts that tighter mortgage restrictions will lead to more borrowers taking out loans from higher-cost non-prime lenders.

“Those borrowers include the self-employed, property investors and anyone who needs secondary financing or refinancing above 80 per cent lo...

Among the highlights in the 2012 Observer:

• The recently introduced Canadian Covered Bond Legal Framework, which will support financial stability by facilitating diversified funding for lenders and strengthening the robustness of the Canadian covered bonds market;
• Annual housing starts and the average mortgage payment as a percentage of personal disposable income per worker are both close to their long-term averages, while debt-service ratios are below or near their long-term averages;

• Housing designed with flexibility in mind is better able to adapt to meet the needs of an aging population and accommodate the accessibility and other needs...
