Hey, did you sell that house? Now there's a question I hear everyday! Surprisingly lately the answer has been yes. First half of Feb (according to the Red Deer Real Estate Board stats) show that sales for the month are already equal to sales for the entire month of January, (62 properties in Jan - 62 in first half of Feb.) This doesn't mean prices are going up, but it does mean that people have confidence enough in the future ... Posted by Richard Pochylko on February 23, 2009		More

This is a great time to buy Real Estate Why is it in a buyers market, buyers are reluctant to buy? And in a sellers market when it was the most difficult time to buy value in Real Estate they were buying like crazy! No one can predict when the market has hit the bottom, but people who buy during a buyers market are smart! They make a decision by asking themselves "has the market dropped enough to make this a good purchase?" The answer to ... Posted by Janice Resch on February 18, 2009		More
Foreclosures - Deal or No Deal? Recently we have seen a few more bank owned and court ordered sales on the market. I went through all of the listings in Red Deer and today there were 9 actives that would fall into this category. Many people that I have talked to lately are under the impression that we have many foreclosures on the market and this simply is not the case. It is not very likely that we will see foreclosure ...

Market Outlook - A New Horizon So, there has been a lot of conflicting information in the media recently from recession talk, financial markets and strength of banks, and the housing market. This has made it very difficult to come up with any kind of game plan in order to prosper in these changing times. I think it is very important that we take a step back and look at the broader picture so that we can position ... Posted by The Walper Team on February 12, 2009		More
A Question of Patriotism? It has been brought to my attention that someone thought I was questioning people's Patriotism by stating "so be a good Canadian and buy a Home"... in my last blog. Well if you're thinking of patriotism in the manner of our soldiers abroad...you are stretching things a bit far, but if you mean "what can I do to help my country"...then maybe you're right. No doubt these are scary economic times. ... Posted by Richard Pochylko on February 10, 2009		More
