Why 1101 at The Marquis Might Be the Smartest Real Estate Move in Downtown Edmonton

Let’s be honest: buying real estate in Edmonton’s core can feel like a rollercoaster. But every once in a while, something shows up that just makes sense. No overpriced fluff, no wasted space—just solid value, prime location, and serious upside.

That’s exactly what you’ll find at Unit 1101 in The Marquis.

A Downtown Condo That Actually Checks All the Boxes

This isn’t one of those 450 sq ft shoeboxes that leaves you wondering where your furniture—and dignity—will go. With 719 square feet of living space, this 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom unit offers actual breathing room.

It’s perched on the 11th floor with west-facing views of Edmonton’s stunning River Valley—so yeah, sunsets are on the daily menu.

You get:

  • New laminate flooring

  • Updated bathroom

  • Tons of storage

  • Private balcony

  • Secure underground parking

  • And most importantly… low condo fees of just $520.64, including heat, water, and electricity!

It’s Not Just the Condo — It’s the Lifestyle

Step outside and you’re seconds from:

  • The River Valley trail system

  • LRT access

  • Shops, restaurants, coffee spots

  • The Legislature grounds

  • All the vibes that make downtown Edmonton vibrant

Want to ditch your car? You can. Want to keep it? Underground parking is included. It’s the kind of flexibility most downtown units can’t offer.

Amenities That Make Life Easier (and Healthier)

Life at The Marquis means you don’t have to pay extra for gym memberships or wellness perks. Condo owners enjoy:

  • Fitness Room

  • Sauna

  • Billiards room

  • Laundry on every floor

  • Rooftop tennis and basketball courts

Did I mention it’s a quiet, professionally managed concrete building? No creaky floors. No noisy neighbours above you. Just solid construction and smart planning.

Investor-Friendly and First-Time Buyer Gold

If you’re an investor, this one’s a no-brainer. With 20% down on a $129,900 purchase price, your initial investment is around $25,980. At an estimated 4.5% interest rate, your monthly mortgage payment would land near $575. Add $520.64 in condo fees—which already cover heat, water, and electricity—and your total carrying cost sits around $1,095/month.

With average one-bedroom rents in downtown Edmonton sitting at $1,450/month, this unit offers positive cash flow potential from day one.

You’re getting a low-risk, low-maintenance investment in a secure concrete building with strong tenant appeal—steps to the LRT, river valley, and city core. Bonus: the seller owns three additional rented units in the building and is open to selling them as a turnkey portfolio package.

Smart buy. Strong yield. Simple management.

If you’re a first-time buyer, this is your launchpad. You’re getting real space, real ownership, and real value for less than rent in most downtown one-bedrooms.

To put it into perspective:
With a 5% down payment on the $129,900 purchase price, you’d only need about $6,495 up front. With a typical interest rate of 4.5%, your estimated monthly mortgage payment would be around $710. Add in the low condo fees of $520.64—which cover heat, water, and electricity—and your total monthly cost would be approximately $1,230 all in.

That’s turnkey, maintenance-free living in a river valley view condo—for less than renting someone else’s.

⚠️ These figures are for illustration only and are not financial advice. Always consult your lender or mortgage broker for exact qualification and costs based on your personal situation.

Maintenance-Free Living That Makes You Feel Like You’ve Made It

This is what we mean when we say “Live your best maintenance-free life.” No yard work. No surprise utility bills. Just walk in, enjoy the view, and let someone else shovel the snow.

Let’s Be Real

You’re not going to find another downtown condo with this much space, this many perks, and this low of a price without serious compromises. But 1101 at The Marquis delivers—on lifestyle, value, and simplicity.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Let’s go see it. I’ll walk you through it, answer your questions, and help you figure out if this is the right move for you.

Mortgage Rates Are Rising Again. Here’s What Edmonton Buyers & Sellers Should Know

Rate Hikes, Bond Yields & Buying Power

If you’ve been watching mortgage rates in 2025 and wondering, “Wait… didn’t the Bank of Canada just hold rates steady? So why are mortgage rates climbing again?”—you’re not alone.

I’ve been having this conversation daily with buyers, sellers, and people just trying to make sense of what the heck is going on. So I want to break it down in plain language and share what I know—not as a mortgage broker (because I’m not one), but as a REALTOR® who pays attention to what’s happening in Edmonton real estate, and who cares about helping you make informed decisions.

What’s Happening With Rates—And Why It’s Confusing

On July 30, the Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.75%. That’s the rate most people hear about on the news. It influences things like variable-rate mortgages, lines of credit, and the prime rate.

But here’s the part that often gets missed: fixed mortgage rates are not tied to the Bank of Canada’s rate. They’re tied to bond yields—specifically, the 5-year Government of Canada bond yield.

So why are fixed rates going up right now?

Because bond yields have been climbing. Investors are nervous about inflation staying sticky and are betting that rates will remain elevated longer than expected. As bond yields rise, banks raise their fixed mortgage rates to keep pace.

It’s not about panic—it’s about pricing risk.

If You Have a Rate Hold or Pre-Approval Right Now—Please Read This

If you were pre-approved in the last 2–3 months and you’re holding a rate around 4.00%, you’re in a good spot—but the clock is ticking.

Many lenders only guarantee that rate for 90–120 days, and I’ve heard from clients that extending that rate now isn’t always an option—or comes with a higher price.

That means:

  • If your rate hold is expiring in the next 30 days, it’s time to get serious about your timeline.

  • If rates jump to 4.5% or higher (and some already have), your monthly payment or borrowing power could shift meaningfully.

Talk to your lender or broker. Get clear on your expiry date. And make sure your approval still lines up with your goals.

Fixed vs. Variable in Late 2025: There’s Almost No Gap

Traditionally, variable rates were cheaper, and people took them to save money long-term. But right now? The difference is almost gone.

In many cases:

  • Fixed rates are sitting around 4.2%–4.6%

  • Variable rates are 4.0%–4.5%, depending on the lender

So what do you do?
That’s a personal decision. A good mortgage broker can help you compare scenarios, including:

  • Your risk tolerance

  • Your future plans (Are you staying put for 3–5 years?)

  • Whether you’re okay with fluctuations in your payment

What Edmonton Buyers Should Keep in Mind

This is where I bring it home.

As a REALTOR® in Edmonton, I’m not here to tell you when the market will peak or where rates will go—but I can tell you what we’re seeing on the ground:

✅ Well-priced homes under $600K are still moving
✅ Inventory in some neighbourhoods is tight
✅ Buyers with rate holds are trying to secure something before they expire

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, hoping rates drop before you buy: just know that rate increases could reduce your buying power faster than prices fall.

For example, a half-point rate increase could shrink your mortgage qualification by $20,000–$40,000, depending on your income and debt. That might mean fewer options—or needing to compromise on location, size, or condition.

What Sellers in Edmonton Should Know

Higher rates don’t mean people stop buying. But they do mean buyers become more cautious, price-sensitive, and value-driven.

That’s why:

  • Pricing matters more than ever

  • Presentation and marketing matter more than ever

  • Transparency around costs (condo fees, utilities, mechanicals) can help your home stand out

We’re still seeing strong results in Edmonton, especially for:

  • Move-in ready homes in established neighbourhoods

  • Properties with revenue potential (like suites or garden suites)

  • Townhomes and duplexes with manageable condo fees or none at all

What Might Happen Next (And What I’m Watching)

I follow rate forecasts because they matter to my clients, but I don’t pretend to predict the future.

That said, most experts expect:

  • One or two small rate cuts before the end of 2025

  • Bond yields to soften slightly if inflation continues to cool

  • Fixed rates to stabilize or potentially drop a bit by Q4

But none of that is guaranteed. And more importantly—you can’t buy a house in hindsight.

Final Thoughts

If you’re buying or selling in Edmonton, here’s my advice:

🧭 Don’t try to time the market.
📊 Know your numbers.
🔍 Ask questions (no one should ever make you feel bad for asking).
🤝 And work with people who care more about your long-term success than a quick sale.

That’s how I’ve built Iconic YEG. And if you’re thinking about making a move, I’d love to be in your corner.

Let’s make a plan—not a panic.

Here’s What ChatGPT Doesn’t Tell You About Buying a Home in Edmonton.

ChatGPT can help you write an offer. Run comps. Even draft your conditions.

But when it comes to timing, tone, and tension—the things that protect your position and support your decisions?

The secret weapon isn’t the software.
It might still be the person holding the door.

The Role of a REALTOR® Has Changed

Let me be clear: I use AI. I love technology. I’m excited about the ways it can support real estate—because when used well, it helps me serve you faster, more clearly, and more strategically.

But do you know the most valuable thing AI gives me?

Time.
Time to focus on relationships.
Time to protect your interests.
Time to do the human work no app or algorithm can replace.

Because while tech has made real estate faster and flashier, it hasn’t made it simpler.
If anything, it’s made it easier to miss what actually matters.

AI Can Do So Much

You can ask ChatGPT how to write an offer.
You can ask it what conditions to include.
You can even have it build a checklist to fact-check your REALTOR®.

Honestly? Go for it.

But here’s what AI can’t do:

  • It won’t know the seller is grieving the loss of a parent

  • It won’t realize a family with three kids is hoping for a smooth, low-conflict transition before the school year starts

  • It won’t sense that a terse listing agent is actually generous, if approached with warmth

  • It won’t feel hesitation in someone’s voice

  • It won’t pause before pushing, because the moment isn’t right yet

AI doesn’t read the room. I do.

And what I say—or don’t say—to another agent before we submit your offer?

That can shape everything:

  • The price we pay

  • The tone of the negotiation

  • Whether your offer gets accepted at all

This is the difference between real estate as a transaction and real estate as a relationship game.
And trust me: the human part still matters more than ever.

What I Use ChatGPT For

I stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technology. I use AI to help write listing descriptions, brainstorm market strategy, generate reminders, and automate routine tasks—because it makes me faster and frees me to focus on what matters most: you.

But here’s what ChatGPT can’t help me with:

  • Gauging someone’s tone on a negotiation call

  • Knowing when a buyer is panicked, overwhelmed, or overconfident

  • Feeling when a community market is starting to cool—and having the experience to say:

“Now. Now is your moment. Let’s move.”

Because tech is useful.
But trust is earned.
And sometimes, instinct is everything.

When it comes to reading people, navigating emotion, and protecting your outcome in real time?
That’s not automation. That’s intuition, insight, and lived expertise.

The Paradox of Empowered Buyers

We are in the age of access to information.

Buyers today can:

  • Pull their own comps

  • Search every listing in real time

  • Use AI tools, offer estimators, and investment projections

  • Research national housing trends and affordability stats

And that’s great.
I want you informed.
I want you engaged.

But here’s the paradox:

More information doesn’t always lead to better decisions.

Sometimes, it leads to:

  • Rigidity

  • Second-guessing your gut

  • Control that compromises your ability to get what you actually want

If you’ve built a spreadsheet, set a dozen filters, memorized price-per-square-foot down to the decimal, and convinced yourself you know exactly what the market should be doing…

You might actually be holding yourself back.

Information Isn’t Insight

Buyers who believe they “already understand the market” often miss the bigger picture—especially when it comes to hyper-local dynamics.

Yes, condos are a tough sell in Toronto or Vancouver.
But in Edmonton?

2025 is the strongest condo market we’ve had since 2016.

The headlines won’t always tell you that.
Neither will the nightly news.

They’re not going to highlight:

  • The unique buyer energy in Riverdale

  • Why Pleasantview has become one of the most competitive pockets in the city

  • How Glenora is becoming harder to touch under $1M every season

This is what I know. This is what I live and breath everyday.

I track market momentum.
Decode neighbourhood shifts.
Read between the lines of how a listing is written or staged.

That’s why you hire me.

When You Tell Me What to Do, You Might Miss What I Know

I’ve worked with clients who came in absolutely certain:

  • Certain about what they wanted

  • Certain about what I should say to the other agent

  • Certain about how much to offer, how fast to move, and what strategy would “win”

They assumed I was the final boss in some outdated, data-hoarding industry—
An overpaid door-opener they needed to “manage.”

And I get it.
Real estate hasn’t always been a widely respected profession.
It’s even harder now that information is everywhere and people assume they’ll be just fine without guidance.

I hate to break it to you—but you shouldn’t hire me to agree with you.
You should hire me to protect your interests, challenge your assumptions,
and lead you toward outcomes you might not reach on your own.

I’ll bring the confidence to ask:
“Are you open to another perspective?”

Because when you’re emotionally invested, time-starved, and trying to make the “right” decision…

You might not see the full picture.

You haven’t done this hundreds of times.
You haven’t felt the shift in tone that changes a negotiation.
You haven’t stood in enough kitchens during final walkthroughs to know what buyers regret—and what they never think about again.

I have. I do every day.

Real estate isn’t about who knows the most.
It’s about who knows what matters most—in the moment.

Ready to Make Your Move?

You’ve done the research.
You’ve read the headlines.

Now it’s time to stop guessing—and start making confident decisions.

I’ll bring the strategy, the nuance, and the experience this market demands.

Don’t worry—you can still bring your questions.
But I’ll bring the answers, and the direction that Google or ChatGPT can’t.

Everything You Need to Know About Buying a Home in 2025: Rebates, Programs & Why Working With a REALTOR® is Free

Buying your first home isn’t just about paperwork and policies—it’s about that feeling when you walk into your space for the first time. I’ve walked alongside dozens of first-time buyers in Edmonton through the nerves, the unknowns, and the excitement. And trust me—it's not just doable, it's empowering.

If you're thinking about buying a home in 2025—especially in Edmonton—you're in luck. The landscape has shifted dramatically in your favour. Between new federal rebates, updated savings programs, and historically competitive interest rates, this might just be the most financially empowering time in a decade to make your move.

As a local REALTOR® and owner of the Iconic YEG Real Estate team, my job isn’t just to help you find a house. It’s to ensure you understand every opportunity available to you—and that starts with knowing exactly what savings you can tap into.

Let’s break it all down.

The 2025 First-Time Home Buyer’s Landscape in Canada

1. New GST Rebate (Up to $50,000 in Savings)

As of May 27, 2025, first-time home buyers in Canada can now receive a full GST rebate (5%) on new homes priced up to $1 million. That’s a direct saving of up to $50,000. The rebate phases out between $1M and $1.5M and disappears beyond that threshold.

Applies only to new construction
Must be your first home in the past 4 years
Applies to agreements signed on or after May 27, 2025

For buyers in Edmonton exploring new builds, this is a game-changer.

🔍 Pro Tip

💡 All new homes listed on the MLS or Realtor.ca will always show a price that already includes GST.
So when you’re browsing online and see a home priced at $500,000, that already reflects the builder’s GST-inclusive price.

👉 This means the GST rebate gets refunded back to you after closing, but you don’t need to mentally add GST to the sticker price when shopping. What you see is what you pay.

💡 Example: How Much Could You Save?

Let’s say you're buying a brand-new home in Edmonton for $500,000:

  • GST (5%) on $500,000 = $25,000

  • New GST Rebate = $25,000

  • Total Price Without Rebate: $525,000

  • Effective Price You Pay: $500,000

That’s a full $25,000 in tax savings—money that can go directly into your closing costs, furnishings, or future renovations – like finishing that basement!Little-Known Savings Programs That Add Up

💰 Little-Known Savings Programs That Add Up

2. FHSA – First Home Savings Account

  • Tax-deductible contributions (like an RRSP)

  • Tax-free withdrawals for your home (like a TFSA)

  • 2025 update: You can now contribute up to $10,000/year, with a lifetime max of $50,000

This is a great way to fast-track your down payment—tax-free.

3. Home Buyers’ Plan (HBP)

Withdraw up to $60,000 from your RRSP without penalty and pay it back over 15–20 years. You can use this alongside your FHSA for extra down payment power.

4. First-Time Buyer Tax Credit

When you file taxes the year you buy, you can claim a $10,000 non-refundable credit, which puts $1,500 back in your pocket.

5. New 2025 Down Payment Match Program

This new federal initiative offers a 5% match on your down payment—up to $25,000 in free money for qualified first-time buyers under specific income limits. (Pilot program rolling out province-by-province.)

6. Land Transfer & Legal Rebates (Alberta Tip!)

In Alberta, we’re lucky:

  • No land transfer tax

  • No speculation tax

  • Lower closing costs than Ontario or BC

But many buyers don’t know they can save on:

  • CMHC premium refunds (for energy-efficient homes)

  • New home warranties

  • Builder incentives and upgrades (negotiable!)

🏦 Why Edmonton Is Ideal for First-Time Buyers in 2025

  • Affordable new construction inventory under $600K

  • Builder promotions: basement suites, landscaping, appliances

  • No land transfer tax or speculation tax

  • Strong rental market for those wanting to "house hack"

🏧 What’s Up With Interest Rates?

The Bank of Canada has paused rate hikes, and many lenders are now offering:

  • 5-year fixed rates: 4.3% – 4.9%

  • Even lower variable options for strong applicants

While not pandemic-low, these are historically fair—especially when paired with today’s stackable savings tools.

👉 Pro Tip: A mortgage broker will shop the market for you and ensure your lender allows integration of programs like the FHSA and Down Payment Match

👩‍💼 Wait... Is Working With a REALTOR® Really Free?

YES!

When you work with a Buyer's Agent like me:

  • You get full representation and expert guidance—at no cost to you.

  • My commission is paid by the seller (or builder).

  • You gain insider listings, negotiation power, and a roadmap.

Think of it like this: You wouldn’t go to court without a lawyer. So why go into the biggest financial decision of your life without a trained advocate?

✅ The Bottom Line: You Have Options—Let’s Maximize Them

2025 is the year of buyer empowerment. With the right plan, you could access:

  • GST rebate (up to $50,000)

  • FHSA savings ($50,000 tax-free)

  • HBP withdrawal ($60,000 RRSPs)

  • Down payment match (up to $25,000)

  • Tax credits ($1,500)

  • And a free REALTOR® to guide you through it all

Why 1520 80A Street NW Could Be Your Next Chapter

There’s something special about walking into a house that instantly feels like home.
Not just four walls and a roof — but a place where you see your kids coming down the stairs for breakfast, your friends gathered around the dining table for Thanksgiving, and those quiet evenings when the world finally slows down.

That’s the feeling 1520 80A Street NW in Satoo gives you.

The Space That Grows With You

Let’s be honest: so many families start out in smaller homes that they quickly outgrow. Bedrooms get cramped, you run out of storage, and suddenly your dream of hosting the holidays feels impossible.

This is different.
This thoughtfully updated 5-level split gives you over 2,000 sq ft of finished living space, spread out in a way that makes sense for real life. There’s room to gather in the bright living room with its big bay window. There’s a separate formal dining area for those big family meals — plus a huge family room with a cozy stone fireplace for movie nights and board games.

Need a little separation? You’ve got it. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, everyone gets a little corner to call their own. There’s even a private lower level bedroom with its own full bath and extra living area — perfect for a teen hangout, a home office, or overnight guests who need a space to unwind.

The Kitchen That Works As Hard As You Do

In so many homes, the kitchen is an afterthought. But here, it’s been smartly renovated:
Sleek grey cabinetry, timeless subway tile, and modern stainless appliances make everyday meals feel special — whether it’s Monday morning coffee or Friday night pizza with friends.

And because it flows right into the dining area (with patio doors leading out back), it’s a space that keeps everyone connected, no matter what’s on the stove.

A Backyard That Calls You Outside

If you love a yard that feels like a real escape, this one’s for you.
Step outside from your family room’s walk-out and find a big pie-shaped lot with mature trees, fruit trees, fresh fencing, and direct access to greenspace. No backing neighbours peering in — just space to garden, play, or unwind with a glass of wine under the stars.

There’s room for the kids and the dog to run, room for a patio or firepit, and room for your garden dreams to take root.

The Little Things That Matter

You know what makes this place even better? It’s the upgrades you don’t always see in the photos.
A newer furnace and AC mean you can move in and feel confident. The oversized double detached garage gives you space for the toys, tools, and weekend projects. And the massive crawl space means you actually have somewhere to stash the holiday decorations and hockey gear.

It’s practical, it’s comfortable, and it’s ready to welcome you home.

Why Satoo?

This pocket of Mill Woods is one of those neighbourhoods where you see kids riding bikes and neighbours stopping to chat under mature trees. Schools, parks, and playgrounds are a short walk away, and you’re close to all the shopping and amenities you could need.

It’s quiet, established, and feels like a place you want to stay.

Your Next Chapter Starts Here

Finding a house that fits your life now and gives you room to grow into the future is rare. 1520 80A Street NW is one of those homes that feels like it’s ready for your next chapter.

If you’re ready to settle in, spread out, and make new memories, this might just be the one you’ve been waiting for.

A Versatile Character Home with Separate Suites and a Loft

11414 81 Street | Parkdale, Edmonton | $374,900.00

Welcome to 11414 81 Street NW—where timeless charm meets modern potential in one of Edmonton’s most adaptable and inspiring homes. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Parkdale, just minutes from the downtown core, this nearly 2,000 sqft, two-and-a-half-story character residence offers more than space. It offers soul, flexibility, and freedom.

With 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, two fully self-contained living areas, and a massive 300+ sqft bonus loft, this home isn’t just ready for your life—it’s ready to evolve with it. Whether you’re building a multi-generational home, seeking rental potential, or dreaming of a creative live-work sanctuary, this is where that next chapter begins.

A Home With History—Reimagined for Modern Life

This home doesn’t just preserve the best parts of its heritage—it’s been thoughtfully transformed from the inside out:

  • Brand new furnace, hot water tank, electrical, plumbing, roof, and windows

  • BOSCH washer & dryer ($4,500 upgrade)

  • New front door and storm door

  • Fresh paint throughout, inside and out

  • All-new window trims and professionally refreshed landscaping

  • Improved grading to ensure longevity and drainage

And while the infrastructure is modern, the heart remains vintage: exposed brick, barn doors, French doors, and intricate details that invite you to slow down and stay awhile.

Dual Living, Infinite Possibility

What truly sets this home apart is its built-in versatility—two separate, private living areas that give you room to share, rent, host, or retreat.

✨ Main Floor Suite

  • 2 bright and spacious bedrooms

  • 1 full bathroom

  • A fully updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances

  • Oversized windows and soaring 9’7” ceilings for a wide-open feel

Perfect for living, entertaining, or giving loved ones their own beautifully finished space.

✨ Second-Level Suite

  • 2 additional bedrooms

  • 1 full bathroom

  • Another full kitchen and dining area

  • Direct access to the bonus loft above

Whether you’re hosting family, welcoming guests, or setting up a mortgage helper, the layout flows with your life—not against it.

Live in one suite and rent the other. Bring parents home. Give teenagers independence. Or simply enjoy the space.

Exceptional Ceiling Heights You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Character homes aren’t known for their ceiling heights—but this one breaks the mold in the best way.

  • Main floor ceilings: 9’7” (2.92m)

  • Second floor ceilings: 8’2” (2.49m)

These soaring heights create an airy, gallery-like feel throughout the home. Natural light floods in, sightlines stretch from room to room, and every corner feels brighter, bigger, and more breathable.

This isn’t just uncommon. It’s almost unheard of.

The Bonus Loft That Changes Everything

And then—there’s the loft.

Perched above the second floor, this 300+ sqft retreat is a game changer. Recently refreshed with:

  • Oversized new windows

  • Modern pot lighting

  • Warm finishes and clean lines

Use it as your primary bedroom, a yoga or art studio, a reading loft, playroom, home office, or guest suite. It’s the kind of space people fall in love with the moment they see it.

It’s the wildcard. The surprise. The soul of the home.

🌞 Light-Filled Living in Every Corner

This home is designed to feel good. Oversized west-facing windows fill each space with golden-hour glow. The warmth of wood textures and exposed brick bring character without clutter. It’s open, clean, layered, and welcoming.

New homes try to replicate this. But they rarely succeed.

🌿 Outside: Serenity, Storage & Space

  • West-facing backyard ideal for BBQs and evening light

  • Double detached garage plus carport

  • Freshly landscaped front yard

  • Located in a quiet, tree-lined cul-de-sac with minimal traffic

And yet—despite its peaceful setting, you’re close to everything.

📍 Life in Parkdale: The City at Your Door, Calm in Your Bones

There’s something special about this part of Parkdale. Maybe it’s the mix of neighbors—new families, long-time owners, and creative energy. Or maybe it’s how convenience doesn’t come at the cost of quiet.

  • Save-On-Foods is a quick walk away. For real-life moments when you need dog food, bananas, or wine at 8:45 PM.

  • The Commonwealth Rec Centre is right nearby, with a full gym, saltwater pool, fitness classes, and even an indoor track.

  • The LRT station just blocks away connects you to downtown, NAIT, Rogers Place, the U of A, and the airport.

Borden Park is close for dog walks, bike rides, or impromptu picnics. And when the Elks are playing at Commonwealth, you can walk to the game—and walk back home just as easily.

It’s central, but it doesn’t feel chaotic.
It’s connected, but never overwhelming.
It’s the right kind of close.

💘 Who Will Fall in Love With This Home?

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Multi-Generational Families

Two self-contained suites mean connection with privacy. It’s perfect for parents, adult kids, or extended stays.

🩺 Healthcare Heroes & NAIT Professionals

Walk to work. Ditch the traffic. Find peace between shifts or classes.

💼 Live-In Landlords & Investors

Generate income while building equity. Rent one suite or both—either way, this property works.

🎨 Creatives, Entrepreneurs & Remote Workers

Exposed brick, loft vibes, character detailing, and separate zones make this an inspiring space to live and create.

✨ Don’t Let This Be “The One That Got Away”

Listed at $374,900, this home is priced for offers—and attention.
We expect interest to be high. We expect someone to fall in love.

This isn’t just a listing.
It’s a new beginning—waiting for someone bold enough to say yes.

Where Smart Edmonton Buyers Are Investing in 2025: Underrated Neighbourhoods You Haven’t Considered

The 2025 Edmonton real estate market isn’t just hot — it’s evolving beneath the headlines. While many buyers are still focused on southwest suburbs and well-known neighbourhoods, smart local buyers are quietly targeting hidden pockets of value across the city. These up-and-coming communities offer a rare combination of affordability, lifestyle, and long-term appreciation potential. Backed by fresh 2025 sales data, here are the neighbourhoods that deserve your serious attention:

1. Prince Charles & Sherbrooke (North Central)

For years, these north central pockets flew under the radar. But with their proximity to downtown, NAIT, and the future Blatchford redevelopment, Prince Charles and Sherbrooke are gaining serious traction. In 2025 alone, Prince Charles has already seen 15 sales with an average sold price of $326,767, while Sherbrooke posted 11 sales averaging $402,886. Investors are actively acquiring original bungalows and infill lots, attracted by cash flow potential and strategic location.

Why it's rising: Strategic location, growing infill development, city infrastructure investment, and long-term rental demand.

2. Alberta Avenue (Central East)

Alberta Avenue is no longer a secret among local buyers. This year has already seen a remarkable 85 sales, with an average price of $285,675. The area’s character homes, thriving arts scene, walkability, and city-led revitalization projects are attracting first-time buyers, entrepreneurs, and investors alike.

Why it's rising: Unbeatable entry prices, gentrification momentum, downtown proximity, and strong community engagement.

3. Calder & Kensington (Northwest Growth Belt)

As Edmonton expands northwest, communities like Calder and Kensington are catching attention. Calder has already registered 37 sales in 2025, with an average sale price of $336,707. Large lots, mature trees, and easy access to Yellowhead Trail and Anthony Henday make this area a value play for growing families and builders.

Why it's rising: Oversized lots, improving transportation links, and early revitalization alongside infill potential.

4. Homesteader & Belmont (Northeast Value Plays)

Affordability remains a key driver for first-time buyers, and northeast communities like Homesteader and Belmont continue to deliver. Homesteader has logged 21 sales this year averaging $340,690, while Belmont has seen 23 sales at an average of $325,339. Both offer proximity to LRT, shopping hubs, and future healthcare developments.

Why it's rising: Affordable detached homes, public transit access, and new healthcare investments supporting long-term growth.

5. The Orchards (Southeast New Build Hotspot)

The Orchards has exploded in popularity. In 2025 alone, 93 homes have already sold, with an impressive 32 pending sales and 78 active listings. The community’s private clubhouse, schools, family-oriented design, and affordability compared to southwest competitors like Windermere make it one of Edmonton’s fastest growing new build hubs.

Why it's rising: Family-focused master planning, affordable new builds, and strong ongoing developer activity fueling demand.

The Bottom Line:

While southwest Edmonton continues to dominate mainstream attention, many of the strongest appreciation opportunities in 2025 are hiding in plain sight. Smart local buyers are already positioning themselves in these undervalued neighbourhoods, locking in equity while prices remain accessible.

If you’re ready to explore where Edmonton’s next wave of growth is taking shape, don’t wait for the headlines to catch up. Contact the Iconic YEG Real Estate Team of RE/MAX Real Estate today for exclusive data-driven insights, private tours, and early access opportunities.

Why Downsizing Shouldn’t Mean Sacrificing Style—or Space

  • One heated underground stall with a secure storage cage

  • One powered surface stall steps from the main entrance

Whether you’re unloading groceries or heading out for a weekend getaway, this feature alone makes everyday life easier and more efficient.

Listed. Shown. Sold. In One Day.

2029 49 Street in Pollard Meadows

$299,900 → $360,000. Here’s what actually happened.

There’s a lot of talk in real estate about strategy, timing, and “knowing the market.” But what does that really mean?

Let me show you.

We listed 2029 49 Street the morning of May 25th.

By 5PM, the momentum was undeniable:

  • 25 showings

  • 17 offers

  • 14 of them unconditional

By 7PM, my sellers had accepted a firm, unconditional offer for $360,000$60,000 over asking.

No hesitation. No missed steps.
Just clarity, strategy, and a deep understanding of what this market demands.

Sellers: This Is What a Real Launch Looks Like

When I list a home, it’s not about posting and hoping.
It’s about precision—from pricing and presentation to timing and traction.

It’s about creating urgency, not noise.
Pressure, not confusion.
Leverage, not luck.

And when the flood of offers came in, I didn’t just pick the highest one and walk away. I organized every offer by price, deposit, possession, and conditions—then walked my sellers through each scenario so they could make a fully informed decision.

But I didn’t stop there.

I went back to the top contenders and said:
Can you do better?
Can you shorten the timeline?
Can you increase the deposit?
Can you remove any uncertainty?

And guess what? They did.

Because that’s the power of skilled negotiation.
And that’s what your agent should be doing for you.

Buyers: In This Market, You Need a Closer

14 buyers waived conditions to even have a shot.
That’s the kind of pressure you’re walking into.

If you’re buying, you don’t need someone to open doors.
You need someone who understands what’s happening on the other side of the table.

You need an agent who will:

  • Craft offers that stand out

  • Move fast, but never recklessly

  • Guide you with calm, direct advice

  • Protect your interests—even in chaos

Because when the competition is this fierce, experience isn’t optional.
It’s your only edge.

Here’s What This Really Means

I’m not here to overpromise or push people into uncomfortable decisions.
I’m here to build real outcomes—with intention, transparency, and respect.

If you’re thinking about selling, I’ll show you exactly how to create the kind of pressure that delivers.

If you’re trying to buy, I’ll help you navigate the intensity without losing yourself in it.

Orchard Dreams & Mid-Century Soul

Welcome to 5069 48 Avenue, Bon Accord

What if we told you that for under $300,000, you could own a renovated mid-century home on a fully treed, oversized lot, just 12 minutes from CFB Edmonton? And that instead of city noise and postage-stamp yards, you’d get a private orchard, a spacious home with architectural charm, and a lifestyle rooted in peace and space?

Welcome to 5069 48 Avenue in Bon Accord.

Why Bon Accord?

Let’s start with the town. Bon Accord might not have been on your radar—but that’s exactly why it’s such a gem. This quiet, connected community offers more land, less stress, and a sense of calm you just can’t replicate in the city. With quicker-than-you’d-expect access to Edmonton and just a short drive to CFB Edmonton, Bon Accord gives you the space to breathe without giving up convenience.

Whether you're military, remote-working, or simply looking to stretch out and start a new chapter, this location works.

A Mid-Century Home That Still Hits

Originally built in 1964, this 3-level split has been thoughtfully and professionally renovated—preserving the best of its character (vaulted ceilings! sun-filled windows! mid-century bones!) while modernizing all the parts that matter most.

Let’s take a walk through.

Main Floor: Light, Layout & Flow

Step through the front door and you’re immediately greeted with vaulted ceilings and massive south-facing windows that flood the space with natural light. The open-concept main floor features newer laminate flooring throughout, bringing warmth and a clean finish underfoot.

The kitchen is compact but efficient—stainless steel appliances, smart storage, and a layout that makes dinner prep feel like a breeze. Just off the kitchen is a cozy dining nook that keeps you connected to the main living space, perfect for easy entertaining or slow weekend breakfasts.

Upper Level: Bright Bedrooms & Main Bath

The upper level houses two junior bedrooms, each bright and welcoming, with good closet space and easy access to the full 4-piece main bathroom. Whether you’re growing a family, hosting guests, or creating a work-from-home sanctuary, these rooms are flexible and inviting.

Lower Level: The Dreamy Primary Retreat

This is where things get elevated.

The fully finished lower level is home to a stunning, completely renovated primary suite—designed to feel more like a boutique hotel than a basement. You’ll find:

  • A spa-inspired ensuite with double sinks, a luxury glass shower, and his and hers walk-in closets

  • A layout that offers total privacy, quiet, and calm

  • Enough space for a king bed, dresser, and cozy reading corner

If you’ve been craving a grown-up space that’s yours and yours alone, this is it.

Not Just a Backyard — Your Personal Orchard

Let’s talk about the yard, because it’s honestly a showstopper.

The lot is fully fenced, fully landscaped, and fully alive. Mature fruit trees, tall hedges, space for gardens, space for kids, space for dogs, hammocks, bonfires, raised beds—you name it. It backs onto trees, giving you privacy and that deep-breath, birds-chirping feeling the moment you step outside.

Whether you’re a gardener, a dreamer, or just someone who wants more space to live, this yard delivers.

Extras That Make a Difference

This home isn’t just beautiful—it’s smart:

  • Nearly 1,400 sq ft of total finished living space

  • A rare double tandem garage—perfect for tools, toys, workshop dreams, or simply extra storage

  • A sunroom that doubles as a plant haven, reading room, or chill-out zone

  • A large laundry/mudroom that makes sense (finally!)

The Vibe

This is a home for people who want more.
More nature. More calm. More connection to what matters.
Less noise. Less rush. Less pressure to settle.

Whether you’re planting roots, starting over, or simplifying into something better, this property gives you the bones, the beauty, and the space to build a lifestyle—not just live in a house.

Ready to See It?

We thought you might be.
