        <title>Hidden Costs of Buying a Home in Alberta</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
The listing price of a property is only part of the story when it comes to buying a home. Many first-time and even experienced buyers underestimate the additional expenses that come with ownership. These hidden costs can add up quickly, but understanding them before making an offer will help you stay within budget. Real Property Pros works with Alberta homebuyers to prepare for every stage of the process, giving you the tools and guidance you need to avoid financial surprises.


Why Budgeting Beyond the Listing Price Matters


When you focus only on the listing price, you may find yourself caught off guard by the bills that arrive once the deal closes. Budgeting for extra costs ensures you have enough saved to cover the transaction without added stress. It also gives you confidence to move forward on the right property, knowing you will be financially prepared for everything beyond the mortgage payment.


Common Hidden Costs in Alberta Real Estate


Many buyers are aware of down payments and mortgage payments, but these additional costs often get overlooked:






Home inspections and appraisals: Essential for protecting your investment and securing financing.






Closing costs: Legal fees, land transfer fees, title insurance, and disbursements.






GST on new builds: Applicable to new construction, which can significantly impact your purchase price.






Utility hookups and moving expenses: Costs for setting up gas, electricity, water, and hiring movers.






Ongoing expenses: Property taxes, home insurance, and condo fees if applicable.






These items can add thousands of dollars to your upfront costs. Planning for them now ensures that your budget will cover more than just the home’s sticker price.


How to Plan for Hidden Costs


Being proactive is the best way to avoid financial surprises:






Use the mortgage calculator to estimate monthly payments and adjust your budget accordingly.






Set aside an additional savings buffer, often recommended at 1 to 3 percent of the purchase price, to cover unexpected expenses.






Take advantage of first-time buyer programs such as the Home Buyers’ Plan or federal incentives that reduce upfront costs.






A clear plan helps you move forward with confidence and keeps your first months of ownership stress free.


How Real Property Pros Helps Buyers Prepare


Navigating the Alberta market is easier with the right team. Real Property Pros ensures that clients know what to expect during the buying process, including the financial details many overlook. Their services include:






Home evaluation tools that give accurate property values when trading up.






Access to featured listings that fit a realistic budget.






Guidance through negotiations and closing to make sure you are aware of all costs upfront.






By combining expert advice with practical tools, Real Property Pros gives buyers the knowledge to plan for the full picture of homeownership.


Taking the Next Step in Your Home Search


Avoiding hidden costs starts with preparation. From inspections to closing fees, understanding the complete financial picture makes the buying process smoother and more predictable. The team at Real Property Pros can help you prepare, plan, and find the right home in Alberta.

        <title>Next Steps Toward Homeownership in Leduc</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Buying your first home is one of the biggest milestones in life, and choosing the right location can make all the difference. Leduc has quickly become one of Alberta’s most attractive cities for new buyers thanks to its affordability, community atmosphere, and proximity to Edmonton. Real Property Pros is here to help you navigate the process, giving you the tools and guidance you need to make a confident move into homeownership.


Why Choose Leduc for Your First Home


Leduc is a popular choice for first-time buyers because it balances affordability with quality of life. Compared to nearby Edmonton, entry-level homes in Leduc are often more budget friendly while still offering modern layouts and family-friendly designs. The city has excellent schools, parks, and recreational facilities, making it appealing for young families.


Another major advantage is location. Leduc provides easy access to Edmonton via Highway 2 and is only minutes from the airport, giving buyers convenience for both work and travel. Market trends also show steady demand, which can help protect your investment as a new homeowner.


Understanding the Homebuying Process in Alberta


Purchasing your first home can feel overwhelming, but knowing the steps makes it easier:






Pre-approval: Secure financing early to understand your budget.






Home search: Use tools like the home finder to browse listings that match your needs.






Offer and negotiation: A buyer’s agent helps structure offers and guide negotiations.






Home inspection and conditions: Ensure the property meets expectations before finalizing.






Possession: Once financing and conditions are cleared, the keys are yours.






A real estate professional is critical in avoiding common mistakes such as skipping inspections, underestimating closing costs, or rushing into the first available home.


Financial Preparation for First-Time Buyers


Budgeting correctly can make the difference between a smooth purchase and financial stress. In Alberta, first-time buyers should be aware of the following:






Down payment requirements: Minimum of 5 percent for homes under $500,000.






Affordability tools: Use the mortgage calculator to understand your monthly payments before making offers.






Incentives: Programs like the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive and Home Buyers’ Plan can help reduce the upfront cost of ownership.






Taking the time to prepare your finances gives you the confidence to act quickly when the right property comes along.


Exploring Neighbourhoods in Leduc


The city has diverse neighbourhoods that appeal to different lifestyles. Whether you are looking for a quiet family-oriented community, access to parks and schools, or modern homes with open layouts, Leduc has options for every type of buyer.


You can explore detailed neighbourhood stats to compare average prices, recent sales, and community features. These insights can help you identify areas that align with your goals as a first-time homeowner.


How Real Property Pros Helps First-Time Buyers


Real Property Pros is dedicated to making your first home purchase as stress free as possible. With access to featured listings, you can see homes that fit your budget and lifestyle. If you are upgrading from a starter property, the home evaluation tool provides accurate pricing to help you move forward with confidence.


For sellers, the team offers customized marketing strategies that increase visibility and attract buyers. This means more options for first-time purchasers entering the Leduc market. Combining these resources with professional guidance ensures that you have every advantage as a new buyer.


Next Steps Toward Homeownership in Leduc


Starting your journey as a first-time buyer in Leduc does not need to feel complicated. By preparing financially, exploring neighbourhood options, and using the right tools, you can approach the process with clarity. The team at Real Property Pros is ready to help you take the next step.


If you are ready to explore available homes, reach out today through the contact page. Your first home in Leduc may be closer than you think.

        <title>Homefront Highlights Real Estate Update</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Welcome to our Homefront Highlights Update,


Dear Reader,


You may have noticed that in the real estate business, there are two kinds of REALTORS® — those who help you sell your home, collect their commission, and move on, and those who are truly committed to ongoing service to their clients in the years and months between transactions — the latter is the type of REALTOR® I strive to be.


My vision as a REALTOR® is to be friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable so that anytime you have a real estate-related question or need advice, you can feel comfortable reaching out to me and trust the expertise I have to offer.


This e-newsletter is another way I connect with you and offer value between transactions, as it’s filled with homeowner-related information to maximize the value of your home. I’m also a resource if you need contractor recommendations or recommendations for a mortgage broker.


Please, don’t be shy about asking me for real estate-related information or advice at any time. That’s what I’m here for and know that you can always count on me.



Keeping Your Indoor Air Fresh and Clean





Unless you’ve scheduled reminders on your smartphone or have noted them on your calendar, cleaning filters and fans probably isn’t top of mind. Overlooking these items can reduce their effectiveness, which can have adverse effects on your health, and can even be a fire hazard. Here’s a list of filters and fans that you may have in your home and need regular attention.





Furnace filters. Replace approximately every 3 months, and window AC unit filters every 4 to 8 weeks during heavy use.


Dehumidifiers and humidifiers. Some have filters that can be changed, but all models need to be cleaned regularly. 


Air purifier filters typically need to be replaced every 6 to 12 months and cleaned regularly.


Clean dryer lint traps after every use and vents at least once a year.


Clean range filters above stovetops to maintain their effectiveness in removing cooking odours and humidity and prevent a greasy film on walls, ceilings, and countertops.


Clean bathroom exhaust fans to help prevent mould.


Dust all screens to help maintain good air quality.


Depending on the type of vacuum you have, clean or replace the filter regularly.


Replace water filters as required. 





It’s always best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance, as it varies depending on the product, how often you use it, and if you have vulnerable people in your household, like children or people with allergies or respiratory issues.



The Dirt on Reusable Grocery Bags





If you are like many people, you may have acquired tons of reusable shopping bags over time. Here are some tips on how to care for them to prevent illnesses.


Washing reusable grocery bags is another one of those things that may not be top of mind unless you have a habit of it. The importance of regularly washing them cannot be underestimated, however, as they can carry harmful bacteria, such as E. coli, listeria, and salmonella, which can linger on the bag and cross-contaminate unprotected foods. Also, thoroughly dry your bags before storing them to prevent mould and bacteria growth.


Besides washing your bags, separating groceries (e.g., meats, poultry, seafood, and produce) into different bags (for example, by colour or label) can help prevent bacteria from spreading. Also, wrap meats, seafood, and produce in a separate produce bag to help prevent juices from spreading and avoid contamination.


As for storage, it may seem most convenient to store reusable bags in your trunk, however, trunks can be breeding grounds for bacteria because they are often warm environments, and there may be other items in your trunk that can transfer harmful bacteria to your bags. Designating a spot for them by your front door might be a safer option.


So, throw those bags in with your weekly laundry to keep you and your loved ones safe.



 The Dope on Dopamine Décor





If you are yearning for a space that is more vibrant and emotionally uplifting and want to embrace a completely different look, dopamine décor may be for you. It essentially defies “what goes together” in favour of whatever makes you “feel good,” just as the neurotransmitter dopamine does. So, how can you get dopamine décor vibes in your home?




While often associated with bright colours, you could also use a softer shade with funky patterned wallpaper, for example. Or if you are super in love with one colour, drench the whole room in it. Alternatively, have pops of colour with a neutral backdrop.


Embrace textures, for example, by adding attractive accent pillows with the softness of faux fur to the rustic charm of burlap.


Include eclectic shapes, particularly round ones. Research has shown that when we look at angular objects, the amygdala, the part of our brain associated with anxiety, lights up. But with round shapes, the amygdala stays silent.


Choose furniture and lighting from a mix of different eras.


Gallery walls with curated, meaningful art that makes you feel good.


Have one or two focal points per room and keep the other elements simple. Think thoughtful curation over excessive stimulation.


Include functionality. Pretty looking, but annoying, won’t provide a dopamine hit.


Consider bold coloured or patterned tiles in your kitchen or bathroom.




If you think you might like dopamine décor, but are afraid of “messing up,” just start small by purchasing some nifty artwork, some funky accent pillows, or create a wallpapered accent wall and see if it makes you feel good — after all, that’s what dopamine décor is all about.

 “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were big things.”

Welcome to Fall 2025: Embracing Autumn in Canada


Published by Ron Alfred De Guzman | MaxWell Realty Blogs | September 21, 2025





As we mark September 22, 2025, Canada officially welcomes the autumn equinox at approximately 2:19 p.m. EDT. This astronomical milestone brings equal day and night, signaling the start of shorter days, cooler temperatures, and one of the most beautiful seasons in the Great White North. Fall in Canada is a sensory feast. Vibrant maple leaves transform into brilliant reds and golds, harvest festivals celebrate the season's bounty, and cozy evenings by the fire become the norm. From the rolling hills of Ontario to the coastal regions of British Columbia, autumn paints the country in stunning hues that attract visitors from around the world.


Creating Cozy Fall Spaces


Whether you're a homeowner or simply looking to embrace the season, fall offers the perfect opportunity to transform your living space into a warm, inviting sanctuary:


Outdoor Appeal: Rake those colorful leaves, clean gutters, and add seasonal plants like mums, asters, or ornamental kale to your garden beds. A freshly painted front door in warm tones like deep red or mustard yellow creates an welcoming entrance.


Indoor Comfort: Embrace the Danish concept of &quot;hygge&quot; by layering wool blankets, faux fur throws, and chunky knit pillows throughout your living areas. Incorporate trending 2025 colors like terracotta, olive green, and burnt orange for accent pieces. Don't forget to highlight cozy features like fireplaces, which become essential as temperatures drop.


Ambiance: Maintain comfortable temperatures, use soft lighting from table lamps or string lights, and add subtle seasonal scents like cinnamon or apple to create that perfect autumn atmosphere.


Fall Festivities to Look Forward To


Canada's fall calendar is packed with meaningful celebrations:




Thanksgiving (October 13, 2025): A time for family gatherings and gratitude


Halloween (October 31): Festivities and trick-or-treating across neighborhoods


Remembrance Day (November 11): Honoring those who served our country




Preparing for the Season Ahead


As autumn settles in, it's time to prepare for the cooler months:




Service your HVAC system to ensure efficient heating


Clean and inspect fireplaces for safe use


Winterize outdoor spaces and equipment


Check insulation and weather stripping around windows and doors




Embracing Autumn's Opportunities


Fall 2025 presents a unique blend of natural beauty and seasonal transitions. The changing weather makes outdoor activities more comfortable, perfect for hiking through colorful forests or attending local harvest festivals. It's also an ideal time for cozy indoor activities and preparing your home for the winter months ahead.


Whether you're admiring the spectacular foliage in Algonquin Park, enjoying a warm cup of coffee on a crisp morning, or gathering with family for Thanksgiving dinner, this fall season promises to be memorable.


As the leaves continue to change and the air grows crisper, take time to appreciate the beauty and opportunities that autumn in Canada brings. Happy fall, Canada

        <title>Is Beaumont, Alberta A Good Place To Live? An Edmonton-Area Buyer’s Guide</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Is Beaumont, Alberta A Good Place To Live? An Edmonton-Area Buyer’s Guide


 


Thinking about a move to the Edmonton region and wondering if Beaumont should be on your shortlist? You are not alone. Many Edmonton area buyers look at Beaumont for its small city feel, quick commutes, strong schools, and family friendly amenities. As a local REALTOR® who helps clients compare Beaumont, Leduc, and south Edmonton every week, here is a clear, no fluff guide to help you decide.


What Beaumont Is Known For


Beaumont started as a French farming community on a hilltop with St. Vital Church as its landmark. Today, you will still notice French street names, bilingual school options, and a distinct main street with local cafés and


bakeries. The city is known for:


Family-friendly neighbourhoods with lots of playgrounds and pathways


A strong community calendar, including the popular Beaumont Days festival


Quick access to Edmonton, Nisku, and the airport


Newer housing in planned communities, often with attached garages and good yard space


If you want a quieter pace without losing access to city jobs and big box shopping, Beaumont hits a nice balance.


Is Beaumont A Good Place To Live For Families?


Yes. If your wish list includes safe streets, walkable schools, and plenty of recreation, Beaumont stands out. You will find:


Schools: Conseil scolaire Centre-Nord and Black Gold School Division serve the area, with options in French immersion and English. Many neighborhoods feed into nearby K to 9 and high school campuses, which cuts down on daily driving.


Parks and recreation: Four Seasons Park is a local favourite, with ponds, trails, sports fields, and a great place for year round walks. The Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre offers ice surfaces, a field house, aquatics, and community programs that keep kids busy in all seasons.


Community feel: Beaumont Days, Indigenous celebrations, holiday markets, and farmer’s markets make it easy to meet neighbours and get involved.


From experience touring with young families, the frequent feedback is that Beaumont feels close knit and calm, yet never dull for active kids.


Commute Times And Daily Convenience


Beaumont sits just southeast of Edmonton, about 10 to 15 minutes to the Anthony Henday when traffic flows and roughly 15 to 20 minutes to the Edmonton International Airport. Nisku Business Park is usually a 10 to 15 minute drive. South Edmonton Common is within 15 to 20 minutes for major shopping.


Commuting downtown varies by route and time of day. Plan on 30 to 45 minutes in typical conditions. If you work hybrid, many buyers find the tradeoff well worth it for the quieter evenings and simpler parking.


Tip from the field: when we set up showings, I often recommend timing a test drive during your usual commute window. It is the best way to confirm whether the location will fit your routine.


Housing Types And Typical Price Ranges


Beaumont’s housing stock is newer on average than many established Edmonton neighborhoods. You will find:


Single-family homes: Front-drive homes with 3 to 5 bedrooms are common, many built within the past 10 to 15 years. Detached homes with attached garages often appeal to growing families who want a yard.


Duplexes and townhomes: Popular for first-time buyers and downsizers who want lower maintenance and a modern layout at a friendlier price point.


Condos: Smaller inventory than Edmonton, but you can find apartment-style and townhouse-style condos with manageable condo fees.


How does pricing compare? Broadly speaking, Beaumont often sits a touch higher than similar homes in Leduc and a touch lower than many south Edmonton communities with comparable build years. You pay for the newer streetscapes and family amenities, but you are not at the top of the metro price range. If you want a direct comparison for your budget, I am happy to map recent sales across Beaumont, Leduc, and southeast Edmonton so you can see tradeoffs clearly.


Ready to browse current inventory in one place? Start with homes for sale in Beaumont to see what is available right now.


Is Beaumont a Growing City?


Yes. Beaumont has experienced steady population growth over the past decade as more buyers look south of Edmonton for space, value, and community. New neighborhoods continue to add trails, storm ponds, and playgrounds. Growth brings more local services, schools, and shops, which reduces trips into Edmonton for day-to-day errands.


Amenities: Parks and Festivals


Recreation: Beaumont Sport and Recreation Centre, aquatics, arenas, fitness programs, and youth leagues.


Parks and trails: Four Seasons Park, coloniale greenspaces, and multi-use paths that connect neighborhoods for dog walks or bike rides.


Local favorites: Main Street cafés, bakeries, and independent restaurants that add character beyond the big box mix in nearby communities.


Festivals: Beaumont Days is the big one, with a parade, entertainment, and community activities. Summer events in the park and winter light displays keep the calendar full.


When To Buy In Beaumont


Seasonality shows up each year. Inventory usually builds in spring and early summer, which means more choice and more competition. Late summer can bring motivated sellers aiming to close before school starts. Fall and early winter can be strategic if you value negotiating power over selection. Interest rate news and local job trends also affect buyer activity. If you want to time it well, I will set up alerts and watch the days on market and price adjustments for the specific property type you want. That way you are ready when the right listing appears.


How Beaumont Compares To Leduc And Edmonton


Against Leduc: Leduc often offers slightly lower entry pricing and a wider range of condo options, along with quick access to Highway 2 and the EIA. Beaumont leans more residential and neighborhood-focused, with a strong small-city identity.


Against South Edmonton: Edmonton gives you transit, major university and hospital access, and a broader selection of older and newer homes. You will likely pay more per square foot for a comparable newer home in some south communities. Beaumont trades transit access for quiet streets, newer builds, and community feel.


If you are flexible between communities, I can set up a combined search that includes Beaumont, Leduc, and south Edmonton so you see the best options side by side.


Local Insight From Buyer Tours


A few practical notes from recent showings and purchases:


Garage depth matters in winter, especially for trucks and SUVs. Double-check measurements.


Many homes back onto ponds or walking paths. These lots are popular and can command a premium, but they hold resale appeal.


HOA fees in some neighborhoods cover maintenance of community features. They are usually modest, but always confirm inclusions.


Quick access to 50 Street or Highway 625 can save you minutes each day. Test your route from the exact street, not just the postal code.


Final Take: Is Beaumont A Good Place To Live?


If you want a family-friendly city with newer homes, reliable commutes to south Edmonton, Nisku, and the airport, and an active community calendar, Beaumont is an excellent choice. It is growing at a comfortable pace, known for its French heritage and parks, and offers solid value compared to some Edmonton neighborhoods.


If you are ready to explore, I can create a tailored MLS search, schedule a neighborhood tour, and help you compare properties across nearby markets. Start with Beaumont, Alberta, real estate to see current listings, or reach out and I will build a custom search that fits your timeline and budget. If you are also keeping an eye on south Edmonton inventory, a quick scan of Edmonton's new listings can round out your shortlist.

Amanda Crow isn’t just the broker at MaxWell Riverside Realty—she’s been a Fort Saskatchewan resident since 1989 and has been in real estate since 2012. “I love it here. I love the community. And that’s what led to opening my new brokerage,” Amanda shared. Her passion for Fort Saskatchewan drives her vision: a brokerage where clients and agents feel supported. “My phone is always on. I am always available for clients, agents, the general public. I really embody the value of having the client relationships,” she said. Amanda’s promise is clear: “100 support from the day you walk through the door, and I’m always just a phone call away.”


Why MaxWell Riverside Realty Stands Out


After considering multiple franchises, Amanda chose MaxWell Realty for its Canadian roots and innovative approach. “I like the structure of MaxWell. I love that they were Canadian, and I do like that they are very technologically advanced,” she explained. Founded in Alberta in 1999 and headquartered in Edmonton, MaxWell Realty brings over 25 years of expertise to Fort Saskatchewan. This combination of local knowledge and national resources makes MaxWell Riverside Realty a perfect fit for the community’s needs.





 


 


Building a Stronger Community


Fort Saskatchewan’s real estate market is thriving in 2025. With sustained demand and rising prices, MaxWell Riverside Realty’s arrival offers buyers and sellers a trusted partner. “The fresh start part of being the newer office in Fort Saskatchewan and giving the community another option, I think that is what excites me the most,” Amanda noted. MaxWell Riverside Realty is more than a brokerage—it’s a commitment to Fort Saskatchewan’s future. “I feel like being in our own brokerage, we can give back to the community a little more. We can be involved in the community and community events. We can support local nonprofits,” Amanda emphasized. From sponsoring local events to supporting charities, MaxWell Riverside Realty aims to make a lasting impact. 


MaxWell Riverside Realty is here with open doors and warm support. Amanda Crow’s deep roots in Fort Saskatchewan and MaxWell Realty’s 25 years of excellence and trusted systems means you’re in good hands. Stop by their office at 10302A 99 Avenue or give Amanda a call—she’s always ready to chat. In a lively market like Fort Saskatchewan’s, MaxWell Riverside Realty will guide you with care and confidence to make your next move a great one.

        <title>Realtor Near Me? Why Choosing a Local Beaumont Realtor Matters</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Most homeowners and buyers use the phrase “Realtor near me” because they want someone who knows their neighbourhood, understands local trends, and can be available when they need support. A local Realtor brings a level of familiarity and accessibility that out-of-area agents simply can’t match.


Why Local Knowledge Matters in Beaumont Real Estate


The Beaumont housing market has its own pricing trends, buyer demand, and timing factors. A Realtor who lives and works in the area can provide guidance that reflects real-time conditions. Jason offers insight into neighbourhood stats to help clients make informed decisions and position their homes competitively in the market.
