Winnipeg real estate continues to be well balanced compared to pricey, competitive markets like Toronto and Vancouver. Up almost 4% from 2016, the total value of MLS sales in Winnipeg in 2017 was just shy of $4 billion. The actual number of sales was down less than 1% and listings were down 2% compared to the year prior. All in all, it shows that our Winnipeg real estate market is stable and as always we are in search of inventory to serve the growing number of families who are choosing to live and work in Winnipeg and who are relocating from cities like Toronto, which have become unaffordable.
If you’re a young family and feel like you are being priced out of other big cities then we want to give you some great reasons why you should choose Winnipeg for a new home base. This city is brimming with pride and easy-going, friendly people who will make your move to Winnipeg even more worthwhile.

It makes perfect sense given the vast size and diversity of our beautiful province. Manitoba has over 100,000 lakes making it ideal for anyone searching for a lakeside vacation cottage or home for the weekend. There are also gorgeous provincial parks abound to service camping, fishing, hunting, and hiking enthusiasts. If you’re in the market for a vacation home or recreational getaway then we would love to show you some of the up and coming listings on the Winnipeg MLS. If you’re a weekend warrior or just want to show off all the natural beauty in our province to outside visitors then a trip to view the Polar Bears in Churchill is a must. Churchill is one of the most accessible places on the planet to view these majestic beauties. Whatever recreational pursuits you choose whether golfing on one of the 120 public & private courses or spending a day with friends and family at the beach you’re sure to bask in some sunshine while doing it. Manitoba gets up to 16 hours of daylight during peak summer weeks!

RENOWN CULTURAL, SPORTING AND EDUCATIONAL PURSUITS
Festivals, NHL hockey, ballet, and higher education keep Manitobans busy year-round in their downtime. One of the biggest festivals that Winnipeg host each and every year is the popular Folklorama. Folklorama celebrates cultural diversity in our communities and it’s where dozens of different community groups come together to create a special venue wherein residents and tourists can share ethnic food, music, and song. Festivals aren’t just limited to warmer weather. Manitobans aren’t afraid of a little winter and the Festival du Voyageur takes place during February each year in the French Quarter, St. Boniface.
The french quarter is transformed into a winter wonderland where the Voyageur, Métis, and First Nations histories are brought back to life.
Not only through the historical interpretation offered inside reconstructed Fort Gibraltar, but also through the many attractions inside Voyageur Park and at the festival’s various official sites. It’s not one to miss! If festivals aren’t your thing then maybe you’ll want to consider real estate listings in Winnipeg for professional sports! We have a CFL football team, and a National Hockey League team and there are also plenty of opportunities to catch baseball and soccer games during the season.

Celebrating 75 years in 2014 this storied ballet company enriches the human experience by teaching, creating, and performing outstanding dance. If you are a dancer or have an appreciation for the arts you will love having access to these world-renowned dancers in your backyard. Speaking of backyards. The ballet is located in downtown Winnipeg, so finding a home, or condo for sale in this area will assure you are close for a curtain call.

CURATE A PERSONAL TOUR

Winnipeg real estate agents almost never recommend that homeowners remain on site when there is a potential buyer interested in their home for sale. It makes potential buyers feel rushed and uncomfortable. What we do recommend (and this tip is good for any time of the year) is to prepare room by room information for your potential buyers and their agent as they tour your home. Perhaps your Winnipeg home has some ecclectic history or has rare millwork and other custom details that you want to draw attention to in order to command more money for your home sale. Jot a few points on bright cue card sized stationary and fix them to the areas you want to point out. It gives you an opportunity to ensure nothing was missed and it will definitely be memorable for the potential buyers and their agent after they viewed a few places. Just be careful to only point out noteworthy items and upgrades and don’t get carried away; one cue card sized note per room is plenty!
