People always ask "when is the best time to list my house".  While there isn't a perfect answer to that question, I can give you three reasons why you should consider listing your house now if you are planning to sell this year.

1.) Despite the mounds of snow, the spring market is already heating up.  We are seeing houses come on and off the market very quickly right now and we are seeing mult ...

I recently had a friend of mine (and past client) reach out to me for an update on the condo market in Calgary.  They had been seeing various bits of information in media and wanted to know how to proceed with their condo.  Should they sell it or continue to rent it.  Here is the email I sent to her:
