Focus On: Glenbrook

Saturday, May 11th, 2013

The growing community of Glenbrook, part of Calgary for nearly 60 years, offers both a glorious mountain view and a mere 8 kilometre commute downtown. Residents enjoy the facilities offered by nearby Optimist Park, a rustic community hall with an outdoor hockey rink, and close access to a variety of stores and services.

Within the boundaries of Glenbrook, there is a full array of public and private school options for kids up to the junior high level; older children must travel a short distance to neighbouring communities.

Median incomes in Glenbrook is a bit below the city’s average, which makes sense given that the majority of its residents are young (a full third are between 25-44) and unmarried. Most of Glenbrook’s real estate offerings is made up of single family dwellings, with an active rental market.

Increased Demand for Calgary Homes

Thursday, March 28th, 2013

This comes as no surprise for me!  The latest CTV news article, Decrease in listings increases demand for Calgary homes, outlines some of the reasons why this year is proving to be a hot one for real estate sales.  There are nearly 20 percent less home listed compared to the same time last year, which is driving prices upwards and days on market downwards.

As our city sprawls out there is also increasing demand for inner-city property.  The Calgary Herald recent posted an article stating that inner-city neighbourhoods saw an increase of 250-260% between 2000-2012.
