Spring Decluttering Tips for Edmonton & Sherwood Park Homeowners

As the weather warms up in Edmonton and Sherwood Park, it’s the perfect time to hit reset on your home—and your mindset. Whether you’re prepping to sell, hoping to refresh your space, or just want to feel less overwhelmed, spring decluttering is a great place to start.

We've all experienced it—accumulating too much over time. That clutter doesn’t just take up physical space—it can weigh on your energy and productivity too.

Here are a few quick tips to simplify:

  • Start small: one drawer, one shelf, one hour at a time

  • Create clear "keep, donate, toss" piles

  • Don’t go it alone—get help from professionals when needed

Need help finding a reliable cleaner, organizer, or staging expert? I’ve built a trusted local network and would be happy to connect you.

And if decluttering leads to thoughts of upsizing, downsizing, or selling—let’s chat. I’m never too busy for your real estate questions or referrals.

📞 Get in touch today and let’s clear the clutter—physically and financially.

Bank of Canada holds policy rate at 2.75%

The Bank of Canada just held its overnight rate at 2.75%, and that decision comes at a time when both buyers and sellers in Alberta are watching things closely.

For buyers—this means the affordability window remains open. Mortgage rates haven’t spiked, giving you more time to find your perfect property.

Sellers—Edmonton’s market has been resilient. Inventory is moving, especially well-priced and well-presented homes. So if you're thinking of listing, conditions are still strong.

And for investors—keep an eye on how the broader economy reacts to trade uncertainty. Rental demand is solid here, and Edmonton continues to offer cash-flow positive potential.

If you're unsure how to navigate it all, let’s connect and make a smart plan that works for your goals.

Simplify Before You Downsize

The thought of downsizing can be exciting—and daunting. A great place to begin is with decluttering. Start with one small area: that overstuffed drawer, the spare closet, or your car’s glove box. Clearing out one zone at a time can bring clarity, peace, and confidence. If you need help, I have a reliable network of organizers and cleaners I’d be happy to connect you with.

How Tariffs Could Drive Up Housing Costs in Edmonton: What Buyers & Homeowners Need to Know

As Canadians navigate an evolving economic climate—marked by inflation, interest rate uncertainty, and ongoing trade tensions—many are wondering how these forces will impact the Edmonton housing market.

One key factor now entering the conversation is tariffs. Tariffs on imported goods, particularly construction materials, are driving up costs for homebuilders. This means that the price of new builds is likely to increase, which can have a ripple effect on the entire housing market.

For homeowners, these changes could influence mortgage renewal rates as inflationary pressures might push the Bank of Canada to adjust its key rate. For buyers, acting sooner rather than later might be a wise decision, especially with pre-construction opportunities that allow you to lock in today's prices.

Real estate continues to be a reliable investment—even in uncertain times. Demand for housing in Edmonton and Sherwood Park remains strong, and owning property remains one of the most effective ways to build long-term wealth.

 Bank of Canada Rate Cut: What It Means for Home Sellers!

The Bank of Canada has reduced its policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.75%, signaling a shift in the real estate landscape. With inflation hovering near the 2% target and economic growth outpacing expectations at 2.6% in Q4 2024, past rate cuts have already boosted consumer spending and housing activity. However, rising trade tensions and new tariffs from the U.S. could slow future growth, impacting both buyer sentiment and business investment. The labour market remains stable, but signs of slowing job creation suggest that economic momentum may wane in the coming months.

For sellers, this rate cut presents an opportunity to capitalize on motivated buyers who are eager to secure financing before further economic uncertainty affects market confidence. With inflation expected to rise to 2.5% by March, waiting too long could mean missing out on today’s demand and favorable conditions.

For buyers and investors, this shift means lower borrowing costs but also potential price adjustments as the market reacts to economic shifts. Strategic decision-making is key.

🏡 Thinking about listing your home? Now is the time to maximize your sale price while demand remains strong! Let’s discuss how today’s announcement impacts your selling strategy. Call me today!
