Buying and selling real estate amid COVID-19

It may be a hot real estate market in Southern Alberta, but buying or selling a home amid a pandemic comes with its own challenges.

The COVID-19 pandemic has thrown millions of people’s financial plans off the rails, and that certainly includes home buying.  Even amid economic and health restriction uncertainties, Jeff Reimer with Royal LePage South Country Real Estate says buying and selling is still very active in Southern Alberta.  He lists safety protocols that realtors have in place to make the buying experience as safe as possible.

The homes in highest demand are single-family detached houses in the $250,000 to $350,000 range.
