rivervalleyrealty Evan’s tip: Start from a place of reason when making an offer. Lowballing might sound bold, but real confidence comes from strategy and respect. Negotiation works best when it feels like a conversation, not a competition. Don’t forget that: 🏡 A fair offer sets a positive tone. 🏡 Collaboration builds credibility. 🏡 Everyone wins when trust is involved. Smart moves go further than shortcuts, and composure always shows in the best offers. #edmontonrealestate #yegrealtor #yegrealestate

rivervalleyrealty A new build still benefits from an inspection 🕵🏻 Not all builders are the same, and quality can vary. A trusted realtor will guide you toward reputable builders and help you avoid costly surprises. Most new homes also include a walk-through with the site superintendent about two weeks before possession. This is where you identify deficiencies that should be corrected before move-in. On top of that, new home warranties can provide extra reassurance, but the builder’s standards still play the biggest role. An inspection, combined with the right guidance, ensures you have clarity and confidence when investing in a new home. #edmontonrealestate #yegrealtor #yegrealestate #edmontonfamilyhome #stalbertrealtor #edmontonhomesforsale

rivervalleyrealty Buying a home involves more opportunities than just negotiating price 👇🏽 Closing costs, personal property, and even the closing timeline can sometimes be adjusted to fit your needs. A seller-paid home warranty or agreed-upon repairs after inspection may also be on the table 🏘️ Knowing what can be discussed helps you feel prepared and confident throughout the process. With the right guidance, these details can make your move smoother and more comfortable 🌱 📞 (780) 965-1544 #edmontonrealestate #yegrealtor #yegrealestate #edmontonfamilyhome #stalbertrealtor #edmontonhomesforsale

rivervalleyrealty 📊 Your interest rate is shaped by more than one detail. Loan type, program, and term each play a role. The amount you borrow and the down payment you provide also matter. Even the location of the home and your credit score can influence the final number 📝 When you understand how these pieces come together, the process feels clearer and more manageable. If you are preparing for a move, we can connect you with trusted mortgage partners who will guide you through every step 🛋️ #edmontonrealestate #yegrealtor #yegrealestate #edmontonfamilyhome #stalbertrealtor #edmontonhomesforsale

rivervalleyrealty This is why your home hasn’t sold yet ⬇️ The reality is that the market decides value. Even with strong marketing and a dedicated realtor working on your side, if a property sits for weeks without serious interest, price is often the reason. Understanding how buyers respond to your home is key to adjusting strategy and finding the right fit. The market sets the tone, but knowledge and guidance make the process less stressful. 📞 (780) 965-1544 ✉️ ross @rivervalleyrealty.ca 🏡 River Valley Realty | Maxwell Challenge Realty #edmontonrealestate #yegrealtor #yegrealestate #edmontonfamilyhome #stalbertrealtor #edmontonhomesforsale

rivervalleyrealty Buying your first home is an exciting goal, and creating a savings plan early can make the process a lot less stressful. These are a few important things to keep in mind as you begin preparing. 💰 Down payment requirements In Canada, the minimum down payment begins at five percent of the purchase price. Because Edmonton’s average home prices are often lower than in many other major cities, the amount you need to save may feel more within reach. 🏦 First-Time Home Buyer programs Programs such as the First Home Savings Account (FHSA) and the RRSP Home Buyers’ Plan are designed to support first-time buyers. They can help you grow your savings more effectively while also reducing your tax burden. 📊 Closing costs It is important to plan for expenses beyond the down payment. Legal fees, inspections, and land transfer costs usually add up to between two and four percent of the purchase price. 📍 Market research Spend some time exploring Edmonton’s neighbourhoods. Communities such as St. Albert, Downtown, or Windermere vary in both price and lifestyle, and narrowing down where you would like to live will give you a more accurate savings target. 🛠️ Future expenses Homeownership comes with ongoing responsibilities. Monthly costs such as utilities, property taxes, and maintenance should all be part of your long-term budget. Saving for your first home can feel like a big step, but with the right plan and local guidance, we can make it achievable for you 🔑 If you are ready to begin planning, our team would be glad to walk you through the process.

rivervalleyrealty Ever wonder what really drives a home’s value? 🏡 Here are the big four: ✨ Comparable homes in the neighborhood Buyers and appraisers look at what similar homes nearby have recently sold for. ✨ Size and spaciousness of the house Square footage matters, but so does layout. Open, functional spaces often add more value than just extra rooms. ✨ Upgrades and renovations Modern kitchens, updated bathrooms, and finished basements can give your home an edge. ✨ Age and condition of the home and amenities A well-maintained older home can sometimes be worth more than a newer one that needs work. Knowing these factors helps you understand your home’s place in the market and where improvements could add the most value.

rivervalleyrealty Consider this your official prescription👨🏼‍⚕️

rivervalleyrealty 🏙️ Edmonton is becoming a top choice for people who want both opportunity and lifestyle! Housing remains more affordable compared to many other Canadian cities, which makes homeownership realistic for more families and first-time buyers. The city also offers a growing job market, excellent schools, and neighbourhoods that suit every stage of life. Beyond the practical advantages, Edmonton has a strong sense of community. The city is known for its year-round festivals, thriving local businesses, and the beauty of the river valley, the largest urban parkland in North America. It is a place where you can enjoy space, connection, and opportunity all at once. Do you also think Edmonton is the place to be? Let us know in the comments 👇🏼💭

rivervalleyrealty 💡 There are only three reasons a home doesn’t sell: Price. Condition. Exposure. But let’s be real — exposure isn’t the problem anymore. With the MLS and online marketing, every home gets seen. Condition? Everything sells for the right price. 👉 So when a property just won’t move… 90% of the time, it’s the price. The market always tells the truth — even when we don’t want to hear it. #RealEstateTruth #HomeSellingTips #EdmontonRealEstate #RealtorLife #yegrealestate #edmontonrealestate #edmonton #yeg #rivervalleyrealty #maxwellrealty #maxwellchallenge #maxwellrealtycanada #maxwellcanada #realtor #yegrealtor #canada #canadarealestate  #home
