Easter Turducken - A Sunday Adventure at Home

October 2011 Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) Statistics

My apologies for the delay pushing the statistics out, due to a back end issue, I have been unable to publish to my blog.

Inner city, more established communities...

Stepping into the Light...unJailBreaking myPhone...going back to iPhone.

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a huge fan of the JailBreak for the iOS.

September 2011 Calgary Real Estate Board Statistics

September shows a 7% increase in sales over the same period in 2010 giving us a slight jump in numbers, however does this reflect in overall pricing increases?  No. 
I have seen some communities slip backwards in pricing however this may simply be – the homes selling are the ones priced right.  That is ultimately a reality.
