Come on out - rain or shine - to the great Lake Chaparral Parade of garage sales!  Happening today from 8:30-4:30, this annual event is always a success and this year has 156 households registered! Get your loonies out and start shopping!  Lake Chapparral is in South East Calgary where Macleod Trail and HWY 22X meet.  See you there!

New changes to protect the homw buyer.  http://www.globaltvcalgary.com/sports/story.html?id=4773955

The Herald announced that Alberta will lead the country next year in the annual percentage growth for MLS sales, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. Sounds good to us! http://www.calgaryherald.com/business/Alberta+sales+country+2012/4751176/story.html

Common misconception: the Calgary Real Estate Market has stalled and sellers are desperate. Buyers should know that the market adjusted a long time ago.  Most listings these days are market appropriate price-wise, so "low-balling" is not going to fly.  Properties are moving, Calgary!

For those thinking of selling their home this Spring, here is an excellent article on how to get your house in top form.  Everything that we tell our sellers to do is in here.  Call Shelagh or Patrick for your free evaluation! 403.777.00077
