THE BEST REASONS TO RENT
HASSLE-FREE LIVING
When you rent, you’ll never have to call a plumber, electrician or handyman again! Renting frees you from the cost and hassle of all home maintenance and repairs. Empty-nesters can happily shed house-related chores and move closer to entertainment, restaurants and shopping, while young professionals can enjoy a simpler lifestyle and shorter commute.
AFFORDABILITY
By renting, you’ll be able to afford to live in an area that might otherwise be out of your price range. And, unless you’re planning on staying in a house for more than five years, you risk losing money if you buy a home. Mortgages are amortized so you’re paying mostly interest in the first few years. Add in property tax, insurance, maintenance costs and the fees associated with selling the house and five years of renting can be significantly less than owning.
THE REWARDS OF RENTING
Renting gives you the freedom to invest your savings in stocks, mutual funds, a small business,
your education, or a vacation, instead of a home.
LOCK IN UTILITY COSTS
In most cases, you will not have to incur bills when you rent. In many apartments the cost of utilities are included in your rent. Because of fluctuating market prices, utility rates can rise dramatically. As a renter, you will not have to bear these cost increases directly.
Active adult living bungalows
Blumberg Village, where the charm of bungalow-style living meets modern convenience! Nestled within this vibrant community are four distinct buildings housing a total of 61 cozy homes, each exuding character and warmth.
Picture yourself strolling down the well-maintained paved streets, flanked by lush greenery and the inviting hum of a bustling neighbourhood, convenience is just a turn of the tap away.
But what truly sets Blumberg Village apart is its thoughtful design. A central walking path beckons residents to explore, winding its way through meticulously crafted ‘Prairie Style’ landscapes that evoke a sense of tranquillity and serenity.
Welcome to Blumberg Village, where every step reveals a new delight, and every moment feels like coming home.

MOVE ON ADVICE |
by SARA DUCK
Did you know June through August is the most popular time to move? If you’re planning a house move soon, take note of these top tips from Aaron Parker of Parker’s Moving.
TIP 1: PLAN EARLY
It’s essential to begin planning your move as soon as possible, especially if you have a lot of stuff to move or are relocating long-distance. Take some time to prepare a list of all the things that need to be done before your moving day, and make sure you stick to a schedule. This will help prevent last-minute stress and ensure everything is done on time.
TIP 2: DECLUTTER BEFORE PACKING
Before packing, declutter your home and get rid of anything you no longer need or use. Not only will this make packing and unpacking easier, but it will also save you time and money when it comes to moving. Sell or donate items you no longer need or dispose of them if necessary.
TIP 3: LABEL BOXES AND KEEP AN INVENTORY
To make the process as organized as possible, label all your boxes clearly and create an inventory list. This way, you can quickly locate specific items when unpacking, and you’ll have a clear idea of what has already been packed. Keep this list with you and check off items as they are loaded onto the truck and also when everything is unloaded, to ensure nothing gets left behind.
TIP 4: HIRE PROFESSIONAL MOVERS
It’s okay to save money packing and moving your items yourself, but hiring professional movers can be more efficient and less stressful, especially if you have a lot of heavy furniture. Not only do professional movers have the necessary experience and equipment, but they also offer additional services such as insurance, packing, unpacking and storage.
TIP 5: STAY ORGANIZED AND KEEP CALM
Moving can be a busy and chaotic experience, but remaining organized and calm can make all the difference. Try to stay on top of your schedule and tasks, delegate responsibilities to family members or friends if necessary, and take breaks when needed. Remember, a successful move is all about careful planning and proper execution.
