realtor medicine hat: Planning to Buy This Year?

Buying a House This Year?
If you’re planning on buying and selling in a buyers’ market, an important point to remember is this:
You will sell for less, but also buy for less, so the truly significant number is the difference between the two. Another thought to keep in mind is that it may be wise to sell first - before going house shopping. Any offer accepted on your home can be made subject to a sellers’ condition of finding a home to buy within a specified time frame.

realtor medicine hat: 10 Digit Phone Numbers
- 07/03/08 07:35 AM
Are you ready to remember more numbers when calling within Alberta? As of September 12th, 2008, 10-digit local dialing will replace the current 7 number format.

realtor medicine hat: Ideas for Defining Your Outdoor Space
- 07/03/08 07:22 AM

- Open. Great if you want to enclose your property but don’t want to block it off visually.

- 04/14/08 08:31 AM
With spring in the air and warmer weather fast approaching, I thought it was a great time to talk about lowering our outdoor water usage. Here are some tips that will make a huge impact on both the environment and our pocketbooks!
