If you could live in any type of home, what would it be? A charming bungalow, a grand Victorian, a smart modern loft, or even a beachfront retreat?

Over the past 100 years, architectural styles have evolved alongside the way we live. From open-concept living to smart home technology, every design choice reflects the priorities and preferences of the time — and of the people who live in them.

In this month’s feature, I share a quick timeline of home styles that shaped the last century, plus a few questions to help you reflect on your own goals. Is your current home your forever home? Or are you beginning to imagine a new space that fits the next stage of your life?

If you're considering a move in Edmonton or Sherwood Park — whether soon or someday — I’m here to help you explore the options and find what fits. Let’s talk about what home means to you.

If you're a first-time homebuyer in Edmonton or Sherwood Park, there's great news: the federal government is now waiving the GST on brand-new homes priced under $1 million and offering a reduced rate for homes up to $1.5 million.

That means you could save as much as $50,000 — money that can go toward your down payment, furnishings, or future renovations.

This rebate applies to:
✅ New homes purchased directly from a builder
✅ New construction you build on your own land
✅ Some co-op housing purchases

If you're wondering whether you qualify or how to take advantage of this opportunity, I’d be happy to walk you through your options and run the numbers.

The Edmonton and Sherwood Park real estate markets just experienced a significant shake-up. In May 2025, nearly 5,000 homes hit the market—a 28% jump from April and a 16% increase year-over-year. This spike in inventory has reshaped the dynamics between buyers and sellers.

For buyers, it means more selection and greater negotiation power. For sellers, it’s a signal to sharpen your strategy—because while competition is increasing, home values remain strong. Detached homes, for instance, are up 6% year-over-year, with the average sale price hovering around $580,000. Most properties are still selling within 30 days, showing that demand hasn’t slowed down.

If you're considering a move—whether buying, selling, or investing—now’s the time to get clear, strategic advice.

I’m Rob Coble with RE/MAX Elite. Let’s talk about what this market shift means for your next step.

The Bank of Canada just held its interest rate at 2.75%—a move that’s meant to stabilize the economy, but it also opens a window for confident decisions in real estate.

If you’re a homeowner thinking about upgrading or downsizing, this is a moment to consider. Borrowing conditions are holding steady, and Edmonton’s prices remain attractive compared to other major cities.

Buyers are actively looking—and well-maintained, move-in ready homes are in demand.

And for investors, our city continues to offer strong rental returns and low price-per-door metrics compared to the national average.

If you're looking to make your move this spring, I’d love to help you take that next step with confidence.

As we embrace new chapters of life, a simplified space can make daily living easier and more enjoyable. Whether you’re downsizing, aging-in-place, or just ready for a refresh, focus on one small space to start—maybe the digital clutter on your computer, or the junk drawer. Need help?
