The 2017 version of the Can-Am golf tournment is just around the corner. This is year 18, and i've been involved for 12 years (how time flies!). Every year, on the August long weekend, 12 Canadians do battle with 12 Americans (Ryder Cup style) for the prestigious Can-Am Cup! The tournment alternates year after year, between western Canada locations and the North/West region of the USA. This year, the battle grounds are in Victoria, British Columbia. We play four rounds of golf in 3 days, along with a horse race. This years' tracks include Bear Mountain Resort - Mountain course, Bear Mountain Resort - Valley course, Olympic View Golf Club and Highlands Pacific!
Looking forward to the weekend battle, and expect Canada to bring home the cup! Go Canada Go!!

Fort Saskatchewan has been a relatively strong market this year. If houses are priced right, they will sell in a timely manner. Here are some numbers from the first half of 2017. To date, there have been 283 properties that have sold of which 165 were detached single family homes. The average list price of these houses was $432,546 with average sale price of $423,184. Days on market (DOM) was hovering around 57.
There have been 79 duplexes that have sold thus far in 2017, with an average list price around $330,000 and selling for an average of $323,500. Average days on market for duplexes was 98 (lots of competition drives those DOM up).
Laslty, we had 40 condo's sell in Fort Saskatchewan in the first half. Average list price of $262,000 with average sale price at $252,000. Days on market was approimately 70.
In the last 30 days, we've had 85 properties come onto the market, with 56 sales. More properties being listed than being sold. It continues to be a balanced market, with a slight shift to the buyers market as supply is more than meeting the demand.
If you have any questions about the local market, or are thinking about buying or selling, give me a call. Welcome home.

Happy birthday to the most amazing country in the world. Very proud to be Canadian, and very proud of the people that make this such a great nation!
