Hello…this is Bo Kauffmann of Remax in Winnipeg, with your real estate news for… Sunday, April 30th, 2023…

Today is, National Oatmeal cookie day, Nat. Bugs Bunny Day and National Adopt a shelter pet day

Let’s give a shoutout to that last reference, the Shelter-Pet adoption day.

Here in Winnipeg we are privileged to have Western Canada’s largest ‘for-life’ pet shelter in the form of D’Arcy’s Animal Rescue Centre, located at 730 Century St.

In operation for over 22 yrs, D’arcys ARC has saved over 16,000 cats and dogs.

As a registered charity, your donations are tax deductible, so please join me in supporting this wonderful cause.

Winnipegs spring market, although delayed, is starting to heat up. Here are a couple of sales in the past week:

2 story home in River part south was listed at $400K and sold for 61K OVER asking.

A side by side in All Seasons Estates sold for $320K, which was 30K over asking.

A 900 ft bungalow in West Ft Garry sold for 77k over asking

Even homes outside of the city are getting some love: 1300 ft bungalow near Ile Des Chenes on a 1 acre lot sold for 30K over asking.

A common refrain I hear from buyers is: “I’ll never get involved in a bidding war”. Truth bomb: don’t kid yourself. If you go out and LOVE a house, most buyers would put in an offer and voila….you’re in a bidding war, like it or not.

Who is winning these bidding wars? The buyers who are best prepared and ready to go. Call me right now to set up a free home buyer consultation, either in person or via zoom. 204-333-2202
