Dear Friends and Partners,
My family and I were enjoying a BBQ two Sundays ago. The weather was perfect, the grass was staring to green and the smell of grilled squid and beef sirloin filled our backyard. My son was having a great time running around and was clearly excited by the cooking action. I asked him a question..
Me: "Why do you like BBQ's?"
My son: "Because they're hot and you get fired up and die."
His answer was pretty awesome and we all busted a gut laughing and we realized that sometimes the message gets through, but garbled. I had explained how BBQs work and the dangers of playing near one. I also shared the benefits of the cooking style and why we like to cook outside. He got the main message and put his own spin on it, as we often do.
So, what's the message in the Edmonton market? The real estate market is heating up and lots of properties are coming on but not all with good value. I have been screening 20+ a week and viewing anywhere from 3-5.
There may be some sizzle and there is definitely a lot of fat. You have to sift through the wieners to find the fillet, without getting burned.
Get out there and buy selectively with low rates, a healthy economic outlook and good value - you have an excellent opportunity to build or add to your portfolio now.

Alberta's Economic Boom is Back
Province Leads Country in Growth in 2011
By Mario Toneguzzi, Calgary Herald, April 27, 2012
CALGARY — Alberta topped all Canadian provinces in 2011 with the strongest economic performance, according to Statistics Canada.
The federal agency reported Friday that real domestic product advanced 5.2 per cent in 2011 after a 3.3 per cent increase in 2010.
It was the highest economic growth rate in Alberta since 6.2 per cent in 2006.
Douglas Porter, deputy chief economist with BMO Capital Markets, said the growth rate for 2011 was above and beyond what BMO estimated.
“It’s not a complete shock given some of the other indicators we’ve seen recently. The province is leading the rest of the country by a country-mile in terms of job growth recently and we’re seeing an echo of that in retail sales as well,” he said. “What’s driving it? Simply put is the strength in oil prices and the rapid rise in production in the province and alongside of that we’re seeing large population inflows into the province.”
Is it safe to say the boom is back? GRAB THIS STORY

Ewart: Business As Usual For Oilpatch After Tory Win
By Stephen Ewart, Calgary Herald. April 25, 2012
With a divisive election campaign over in Alberta, it's time to get back to business as usual for the oil and gas industry.
The four-decade-old Progressive Conservative dynasty was able to survive a staunch challenge from the political right and endured Monday as Premier Alison Redford delivered a 12th consecutive majority government for her party.
Despite some election night drama - Energy Minister Ted Morton lost his seat - it is essentially status quo for the oilpatch. FOLLOW THIS ARTICLE
