Calgary, Jan. 26, 2021 – In 2020, housing markets across the country surprised many with a stronger-than-expected rebound in the second half of the year despite record-high unemployment rates and significant job losses.

Calgary did not hit record-high sales or prices in the third or fourth quarters, but still posted some of the strongest sales relative to the past five years. This was nearly enough to offset the initial losses recorded during the first shutdown caused by the pandemic.

“It is expected some of the momentum recorded at the end of 2020 will continue into 2021, fueled by exceptionally low lending rates and pent-up demand,” said Ann-Marie Lurie, CREB® Chief Economist.

“While sales are expected to rise by nearly five per cent on…

When you think about selling your property, do you dwell on the possible work
and stress involved? You're not alone. Many homeowners share the same
concerns.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
In fact, there are plenty of ways to add some fun, anticipation, and even a
sense of adventure to the selling process. Here are just a few ideas:
