I have recently listed my second house in southeast Edmonton in the last 2 months.  This one is in the well established neighborhood of Daly grove.  Its a great 920 sq foot bilevel with a beautiful large southfacing yard and deck.  Many upgrades over the years, including roof, windows, flooring and bath.  If you want to live in an older devolpment in southeast in Edmonton and still be close to everything you need, this is the place for you!

With every listing I do, I try and stress the selling points as to why a house is better than the rest.  In my newest listing: 1715, 64st this is very easy to do as it is very unique.  In a community where many of the duplexs are built to the same specs, this owner decided to spend the extra money on upgrades.  At the time it probably seemed like unnecessary expenses, but when it comes to resale it is these features that are going to sell the house.  There are 3 or 4 comparable properties, but none of them have upgraded cabinets, thicker carpet underlay, triple pane windows, etc….So guess which was is the most appealing? 

In newer communities where owners are picking there layouts from predetermined builder specificationss, there is very little room for individuality and thus the finishing choices are that much more important to obtaining more money and a quicker sale upon resale.

Well spring is here and with it comes my first recreational property listing of the year.  Lake properties have taken the biggest hit over the last 3 years, but with our economy turning a corner now is the time to buy.  I suspect lake properties should see an increase in equity slightly higher than that of the city.

I just listed a beautiful 2000 square foot 2 story home located a block from the water in mulhurst bay at pigeon lake.  Not only does it come with 1.56 acres, its right next to the golf course and boat launch.  It has all the amenities of a municipilality (power, sewer lines and more) but couldnt feel more country.   Located just 45 minutes south of the city.

I have just listed my second investment property this month, and have been getting great feedback thus far.  This one is located in Fulton place – East side of Edmonton right next to Capilano Mall with great downtown access.  The seller is motivated and willing to not only sell it furnished, but will pay for condo fees for an entire year.  It is an interesting building, as the builder owned all units about 4 years ago and has slowly foreclosed on all of them.  That being said, this was one of the last ones, and almost all have been renovated already by the new individual owners.  The building has also been fixed up with brand new windows, boilers and more to come.  It is definitely a fantastic investment opportunity.

Im very excited to announce a new listing in Oxford.  What makes this one really special is the greenspace behind.  The city government just released their updated plan for the year and have indefinitely zoned the land behind as “stormwater management” land meaning it won’t be developed.  The house is only 7 years old, has had one owner and has a completely finished basement as well.  Its a great home for a young family, or a couple looking to have the serenity of nature while still being close to the amenities of the city.

I have just listed my first investment property since starting the new site.   Beautiful renovated 3 bedroom coach home end unit bungalow near West ed.  If you don’t know what a coach home is, basically its a group of about 10 -20 walk up condos that are all identical.  Whats unique about this property is that it is an end unit, meaning not only does it have an extra bedroom, but it also has noone on one side or above, so its the best location in the unit.  Ill be doing an open house there next weekend, so come check it out.
