10 Reasons Why Edmonton is One of Canada's Top Places to Buy a Home in 2025

Edmonton's real estate market is buzzing. Home resales are nearing all-time highs and strong in-migration is fueling demand. Despite this activity, prices remain accessible, but Canada’s real estate landscape is poised for change.

Aging in Place: Smart, Stylish, and Accessible Design

Smart, Stylish, and Accessible Design

With Canada’s aging population, the demographic landscape is undergoing a significant shift. By 2040, it’s projected that seniors aged 65 and older will make up nearly a quarter of the population, increasing the demand for homes designed with accessibility in mind.
