Housing moves to sellers market - "After hovering in buyers' territory for much of this summer, home resale markets in Alberta's two largest cities are on the verge of slipping back to a sellers' market, thanks to pronounced drops in new listings."

Real estate a time tested investment - "Well, if you ever wanted to know what it was like to be a yo-yo, with a tight string around your neck and someone else in complete control of your destiny, now you know.

Edmonton-Based Real Estate Agent Review Site Cuts Through Clutter - "What-Customers-Say.com, a newly launched site developed by four Edmontonians, is changing the game for real estate agents and home-sellers by providing a new way to find great agents: with customer ratings and reviews."
