The real estate market is on fire in Edmonton, with record sales and prices. While we saw record sales in the Edmonton area last year, we were nowhere near as hot as other markets in Canada, and we may be playing a bit of "catch up" now with sales up 85% over last February.

Lower New Listings

Last year, listings took off in March to well above normal levels, which would typically be a…

 Before we dive into our round-up of Edmonton's best community leagues and homeowner associations, let's first break down what each of those is, as well as the cost and services included.

Typically, HOA fees are small - around $100-$200 a year, but they can be higher depending on what is covered. HOA fees commonly cover things like…

This week‘s Liv Cafe had an extra celebratory feeling as we acknowledged our Liv Agents for their incredible work and announced our 2021 Liv Award Winners. Please join us in congratulating all of our winners this year.
