2027 PRIMARY RESIDENCE DECLARATION

The annual declaration confirms whether your property qualifies for the primary residential tax subclass.

A few things to know:

• Your property must be someone’s primary residence for at least 183 cumulative days during the calendar year, including 60 consecutive days.
• This can include a home you live in yourself or a property rented to someone who uses it as their full-time primary residence.
• If you don’t submit your declaration by the deadline, your property will automatically be placed in the higher residential tax subclass.

BUYING OR SELLING IN CANMORE IN 2027?

There’s another important change worth knowing.

Beginning in 2027, buyers will inherit the property’s existing tax classification from the previous owner.

If the seller declared the property as a primary residence, it will qualify for the lower residential tax rate in 2027.

If the seller didn’t declare or declared it as non-primary, the higher rate will apply.

This makes understanding the property’s existing tax classification and how taxes are adjusted at closing particularly important.

IMPORTANT DEADLINE
December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM.

Your mailed letter includes the tax roll number and access code needed to complete your online declaration.

No extensions are planned.

For further clarification, contact the Town of Canmore directly or speak with your local real estate lawyer.

It’s a good reminder that when buying real estate in Canmore, understanding the true cost of ownership sometimes means looking beyond the purchase price.

It’s a common assumption that once the snow flies and the holidays approach, the real estate market in Canmore and Banff comes to a standstill.

But that’s not necessarily the case!

In fact, winter can present some really interesting opportunities for buyers.

This time of year, we often start to see longer days on market, more price improvements and sellers offering incentives to attract buyers.

As we get closer to Christmas, buyer activity often starts to ease, which may mean less competition, more room to negotiate and potentially more favourable pricing and terms.

With fewer buyers actively searching, you may have more time to explore your options, find the right property and negotiate a deal that works for you.

You may even be able to secure an early spring possession date, giving you time to plan your move and settle in when the warmer weather arrives.

So, if moving into a new home in Canmore or Banff next spring is on your mind, don’t wait until spring to start looking!

Now is a great time to get familiar with the late-fall market, explore neighbourhoods, narrow down your search and connect with your local lender so you’re ready when the right property comes along.

You never know, it could be just around the corner!

Don’t sleep on the winter market. Sometimes the best opportunities come along when everyone else is hibernating! 😉

OCTOBER, YOU DID NOT DISAPPOINT. 🍂✨

What a month! ➡️

I made the most of those beautiful fall days, getting out for walks, enjoying the sunshine and soaking up all those gorgeous colours while they lasted.

Little did I know how quickly we’d be trading them for snow! 😂

We also celebrated a pretty big milestone at Mountain Juice Café — 25 YEARS! 🥹❤️

It was such a special weekend, and I’m so grateful to everyone who stopped by to help us celebrate.

There’s been Thanksgiving, dinner parties with friends, good food, lots of laughs and much-needed time with the people who make life fun.

In between all that, I’ve been tackling the fall cleaning, getting organized and preparing my home for winter.

Just the usual Canmore fall activities!

Turns out winter wasn’t waiting for me to finish. 😂

On the real estate front, I look forward to seeing you around town, at open houses or at the RE/MAX office downtown.

If you’re thinking about your real estate plans or goals for 2027, I’m always happy to chat!

And now something to look forward to… Mexico in January! ☀️ I truly can’t wait.

Feeling grateful for this beautiful place I call home, the wonderful people in my life and a month full of so many good things. 🤎💛🧡

I may be a day early.

I couldn’t wait to celebrate International Daughters Day.

Today I’m celebrating two very special women who have had such a huge influence on my life.

My mom and my grandma.

I honestly don’t know where I would be without them.

They have given me so much love, guidance, wisdom and support throughout my life, and so much of who I am today is because of them.

My grandma may no longer be here, but I still feel her presence in my life every single day.

I think of her often, hear her words in my head and find myself remembering the little things she taught me. Her influence is still very much a part of who I am.

Both of these women taught me to work hard, believe in myself, take chances and go after what I want in life.

They taught me that if you want something, you can work for it and create a life that makes you so happy.

I’m so grateful for the extremely close relationship I have with my mom, and for all the years and memories I was lucky enough to share with my grandma.

The conversations, the laughs, the advice, the support and simply knowing they were always there.

I truly wouldn’t be the person I am today without these two women.

I’m incredibly proud to be their daughter and granddaughter, and I will always carry the things they’ve taught me. ♥️

🍂 Happy First Day of Fall! 🍂

Fall has always been my favourite time of year.

There’s just something about the cooler days, changing colours and getting back into a regular routine after a busy summer in Canmore.

It’s been a particularly busy fall for me already!

I’ve been working with my clients, getting ready for some exciting things, including my buyers taking possession of their new place in Spring Creek this week. Yay! 🎉

And, of course, I’ve been busy planning for Mountain Juice Café’s 25th Anniversary!

We’re celebrating the first weekend of October, and I would absolutely love to see you there on October 3rd & 4th.

Now that summer is winding down, I’m looking forward to seeing many of you around town, at the RE/MAX Alpine Realty office, or while I’m out hosting open houses.

And if we haven’t caught up in a while, reach out anytime!

I’d love to grab a coffee and catch up after the summer. ☕️

Watch for my October newsletter hitting your inbox soon!

Here’s to a beautiful fall in Canmore! 🍁

And I really hope to see you October 3rd & 4th at Mountain Juice Café! 💛

Lately, I’ve been feeling quite nostalgic.

Looking back at the years I’ve spent in Canmore, I’ve been thinking about how much life has happened here.

Swipe through to see some of my favourite memories. ❤️

This year I’m celebrating 25 years of Mountain Juice Café. Along the way, I also started working in real estate.

Two very different paths, but in many ways, quite similar. Both have given me the opportunity to work closely with people and build so many meaningful relationships that I hold very close to my heart.

Mountain Juice has given me 25 years of familiar & new faces, friendships, conversations, memories and connections.

Real estate has brought another kind of connection.

I’ve had the privilege of getting to know some amazing people and families, hearing their stories, helping them through important chapters of their lives, and being trusted with some of the biggest decisions they’ll ever make.

It’s been incredibly rewarding.

So much of my business has grown through relationships.

Referrals, introductions, past clients, friends and family, and people trusting me enough to recommend me to someone they care about.

When I look through these old photos, I don’t just see how things have changed. I see people, special friendships, memories and chapters of my life.

And when I think about the past 25 years, it’s the people who stand out the most.

I feel incredibly grateful for everyone who has been part of my life here.

I wouldn’t change a thing. ❤️

How has it been 25 years?

It feels like just yesterday. ❤️

This October, Mountain Juice Cafe turns 25 years old!

Swipe through to see how it all began ➡️

25 years ago, I took a leap of faith and opened a little juice bar in Canmore.

I created the menu from scratch, developed the recipes, sourced the products and learned as I went.

I never could have imagined how much that little leap of faith would become such a meaningful part of my life.

Mountain Juice Cafe has been so much more than a business. It’s brought me incredible friendships, special connections within our community and so many wonderful memories.

And of course, I wouldn’t be here without PJ.

Our in-house legend and the heartbeat of the cafe.

He’s always behind the glass, blending, pouring and visiting with our local smoothie enthusiasts. ❤️

But most of all, we never, ever would have made it 25 years without the support of the Canmore community.

To each and every one of you who has walked through our doors, brought in family and friends, supported us over the years or simply cheered us on, thank you.

Come help us celebrate October 3rd & 4th!

There’ll be cupcakes, smoothies, fresh pressed juices and coffees for you to enjoy.

As a little thank-you, we’ll be giving away a couple of amazing gift baskets filled with donations from some of our favourite local Canmore businesses.

They’re pretty incredible, you won’t want to miss out! ❤️

One of the biggest things I’ve learned working in real estate. ⏬

Is how important it is to stay connected with your clients.

Whether someone is a current client or someone I worked with years ago, I think it’s really important that they still feel remembered, important, and genuinely cared for long after the sale is complete. 🔑

I always try to stay in touch in small meaningful ways — whether it’s my quarterly newsletter mail outs, Christmas cards and little gifts, holiday check-ins, grabbing a coffee, or simply reaching out to see how life is going.

Over the years, I’ve also learned that the people you’ve helped along the way are often sharing their experience working with you with friends, family, neighbours, and coworkers. 🏡

It’s those little personal touches and continued connections that keep you top of mind.

Real estate is such a personal experience and often a big life change, so those relationships truly mean a lot to me. 🥰

Many of my clients have become friends, repeat clients, and part of my community.
