This is the Bald Prairie Real Estate first time home buyers guide to buying a house in Canada.
My name is Matthew Pfeifer, and this is Bald Prairie Real estate, a Canadian real estate channel. I am a realtor in Regina Saskatchewan working for Royal LePage Regina Realty. In 10 years working as a real estate agent, I have seen both ups and downs in the market. But there is no real estate market that you cannot buy or sell a house in. Often the media tries to present a Canadian real estate market, or they talk about the real estate market in Canada as if there is a national market. The real estate market in Canada is very regionalized, why is why my monthly Canadian real estate market updates cover Vancouver and Toronto but other individual cities like Calgary, Halifax, Montreal and more. Being from Regina I focus on the Regina real estate market. Bald Prairie real estate is about educating you about Canadian real estate. I cover first-time home buyer topics, tips for selling your home, how to buy a house in Canada and monthly Canadian real estate market updates.
