卡尔加里房屋入冬前的准备

卡尔加里的冬天来得时早时晚,作为屋主,提早做些准备工作是很必要的。下面是十几条小提醒,提早动手,以免太晚了。

检查热气容易逃窜之处,好好给房子保暖

1 – 里里外外检查房子,看看哪些地方有裂痕漏风之处,赶快补上。如果你不确定最佳处理办法,可以排上照片,带着照片去附近的Home Depot问询建议。

2 – 如果你觉得往年冬天室温太低,也许你可以添加一层保温膜。但是你要特别注意,新添加的这层一定保证湿气扩散,要不然湿气累积,墙体会发霉。

3 – 也可以给玻璃上加层塑料薄膜,你可以在RONA或Home Depot 找到Insulator kits,价廉物美。 要是还不够的话,嘿嘿,你可以在塑料薄膜上贴上bubble wrap。

保养锅炉

4 – 要是首次启动锅炉有异味产生,关闭锅炉,找个专家前来查看查看。

5 – 每年找个锅炉专家检测、清洗一次总是有备无患的,这样你的锅炉可以维持更长久。

6 – 按照过滤膜的规格,提前购买几个过滤膜,定期更换/1-2个月换一次即可。太脏的过滤膜,因为热气穿透力差,所以效率低。

清理屋檐槽/eave trough

7 – 小心使用梯子,总之你得站得靠近屋顶,用笤帚或者用手/戴上手套,将屋檐槽内的落叶等垃圾清理干净,要是能用水冲洗得话最好了。

8 – 要是排雨管堵了,积雪在屋檐槽融化后会形成冰溜滴水,对地基、窗户台甚至房屋内部都产生恶劣影响。

9 – 同时排雨管末端也要尽可能远离房屋地基。

防冻措施

10 – 一定要知道房屋水源总控制阀在哪里,预防紧急情况发生。要是你离家有段时间,把室温设置提高一点。同时,查看保险公司条例,看看多久房屋得有人前来查看,要不然万一因天气有关导致的保险,保险公司可能会拒绝索赔。

11 – 如果有空调的话,得将水放干。要是空调有水阀的话,请关闭。同时关闭任何连接室外的水阀屋内开关,打开室外阀门,将水放干。

12 – 要是房屋室外有暴露的水管设施,最好包上保温膜,防止冻裂。

防冬设备

13 – 更新破损雪铲、笤帚,准备冰刀清理人行道、车库前的积冰还是有必要的。      注意:购买高质量的雪铲,缓解腰部疲劳、轻松铲雪还是值得的。

14 – 储备几袋沙子、化冰用品,可以撒在门前人行步道上。

15 – 要是你得在户外停车的话,可以考虑买个汽车发动器/starter。

准备最差的状况

16 – 在目前绝大部分社区使用供电能源的情况下,适当储备打火机、火柴、蜡烛,预防短期停电还是有必要的。也可以考虑安装用电后备装置,防止丢失重要的、没来得及储存的电子文档或者其它敏感电子设备。

17 – 将供电/水、供气服务商联系电话记到方便地方,以备急用。

18 – 储备些不宜腐烂的食物、用水,还有急救箱/first-aid kit,毯子。至少有个紧急疏散的计划,如果特殊情况发生。

Top 3 Reasons to Buy a Home in Aspen Woods Calgary

Aspen Woods is an upscale community located in the southwest corner of Calgary and is one of the preferred residential areas for Calgarians.

Here are the top three reasons people choose to buy a home in Aspen Woods:

#1 – High-Quality Homes

The builders in Aspen Woods are all high-end home developers, including:

  • Crystal Creek Homes

  • ALBI Homes

  • Duri Homes

  • West View Builders Group

  • Truman Homes

  • Elegant Homes

These award-winning luxury home builders are known for their high-quality craftsmanship and excellent after-sales service.

Most homes in Aspen Woods sit on large lots, offering more private space and promoting a comfortable lifestyle. The community itself also features natural ravines, forested pathways, parks, and open recreational spaces.

The combination of generous home lots and abundant community amenities makes Aspen Woods highly attractive to luxury home buyers.

Aspen Woods offers a perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. While it is set apart from the hustle and bustle, downtown Calgary is only a 15 to 30-minute drive away, depending on the route and traffic. Compared to other "suburban" communities, this is a significant advantage.

  • Stunning views of the Foothills and Rocky Mountains from home

  • A wealth of nearby shopping and entertainment options

  • Easy access to nature and mountain getaways

  • Plenty of outdoor recreational opportunities within the community

A new police survey says most Calgarians believe this is a safe city to live in.

The results of the 2012 Calgary Police Commission Citizen Survey say more people share that attitude than in previous years.

In 2008, when Calgary topped the nation for gang related murders, most people surveyed were nervous about gang activity in the city.

In 2012, Calgarians' biggest concerns in their neighbourhood seem to be home break and enters.

42 percent of Calgarians 'somewhat agree', Calgary is a safe place to live.

The biggest improvement: 52 percent of citizens 'strongly agree' the city is safe.

That's up nearly 30 percent since four years ago.

2012年9月份卡尔加里房地产市场报告

尽管全国地产不断调整,卡尔加里房地产持续价量齐升!

                                                          ---二手房市场持续缓慢稳定恢复

 Calgary, 十月一日, 2012 –   卡尔加里本月民宅销售持续上涨,比去年同期涨11%。城市界内,前九个月共成交17,018套,比2011年多15%。

大家总谈及全国房地产市场放缓,然而,卡尔加里销售量、成交价格持续改善,没有往回调整的迹象。同时呢,几年来第一次,卡尔加里的秋季市场不同以往、表现特别。

独立屋市场成交量又提高了,尽管新挂牌量持续稳定降低。不过九月份新挂牌还是比八月份强了一点儿,目前市场供给进入均衡状态。

九月份独立屋市场基准价为 $432,900,比去年同期高8%。过去三个月以来,价格表现稳中有升,根本没把夏天度假淡季放在眼里。

截至9月底为止,共管公寓共售出2,762 单元,比2011年涨10%。随着新挂牌量的下降、需求的上升,总体库存的降低已经开始促使价格往上走。九月份公寓市场基准价为 $249,300, 比去年同期涨4%。另外,去年同期价格走势是下降的。

前三个季度排屋共售出2,061套,比去年同期涨 14%。目前市场基准价为$277,700,比去年 同期小涨2%。

近期市场的活跃表现带动了二手房市场回归到长线均线水平,价格复苏。2011年底市场表现大大低于平常年份的销售状况,那时关于全球经济前景的担忧甚多。同时,也有关于美国经济再度下滑、及加拿大国内经济放缓的担忧。

尽管对经济前景不太乐观,但是和去年相比,消费者还是对平原省份房地产保持信心。另外,卡尔加里失业率继续走低,薪金也往上调,全职就业机会涨幅远远超出全国平均水平。
