Understanding Your Local Housing Market
Buying a home is an important lifestyle and investment decision. By understanding the housing market, you’ll have a better sense of what, where and when to buy.
Obviously, you want to buy at the best price possible. You want your monthly payments to be as affordable as possible. You want your home to increase in value as much as possible.
To make sure all that happens, it’s important to look beyond your individual purchase before you buy. You need to look at larger market conditions. What’s happening around you, for example, house price trends, mortgage interest rates, available resale homes on the market, and new home construction, will all have an influence on your purchase. The more you know the more control you have.
A Realtor is still the best source of information. A Realtor provides helpful information to assist you in determining your precise and unique requirements in a home and for choosing your desired location.

To keep your furnace working at its optimal performance you need to either change or clean your furnace filter on a regular basis. Furnace filters that become clogged with dirt and dust particles don’t clean air efficiently and force your furnace to work harder. Not to mention that dirty filters can increase operating costs and affect the life and efficiency of heating and air conditioning equipment.
Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31 and Calgarians love the scariest night of the year. Halloween symbols – costumes, trick or treating, jack-o’-lanterns, witches, ghosts, goblins and magic – are out in style.
Now’s the time to check your windows for drafts and leaks. Improperly maintained windows can be a big burden on your heating bill. Taking care of them not only helps reduce energy costs, but will keep you and your family warm and comfortable through the winter months ahead.
