On this week's Real Estate in Edmonton, REALTOR® Devin Gray and professional broadcaster Tracie Gray separate fact from fiction and reveal what you need to know before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

We're tackling five common myths:

🏡 Myth #1: You need 20% down. Discover how some qualified buyers can purchase a $400,000 home with just $20,000 down instead of $80,000.

💳 Myth #2: You need perfect credit. Find out why a less-than-perfect credit score doesn't automatically mean homeownership is out of reach.

💰 Myth #3: Renting is always cheaper. Devin breaks down the real costs of renting versus buying in Edmonton—and why the answer might surprise you.

📉 Myth #4: You should wait for lower interest rates. Could waiting for a better mortgage rate actually mean paying more for your home?

🔍 Myth #5: A beautiful home doesn't need an inspection. This one could cost you TENS OF THOUSANDS! Devin and Tracie share personal experiences with hidden home problems, including basement flooding, missing insulation, and the potential insurance headaches of Poly-B plumbing.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, currently renting, or thinking about making a move in Edmonton, this episode could change how you approach your next real estate decision.

The biggest mistake isn't always buying at the wrong time. It's buying—or not buying—based on the wrong information.

🎙️ Listen now, and find out which home-buying myths you can finally stop believing.

Could Edmonton's changing 8-plex zoning rules affect your home's value, your neighbourhood, or your next real estate investment?

Edmonton's controversial infill housing debate has taken a dramatic turn! With the Alberta provincial government stepping in and ordering changes to Edmonton's residential zoning regulations, homeowners, buyers, sellers, and real estate investors are wondering what happens next.

In this week's episode of Real Estate in Edmonton, REALTOR® and real estate investor Devin Gray and professional broadcaster Tracie Gray break down one of the biggest housing debates in Edmonton and explain what these potential changes could mean for YOU.

From established neighbourhoods and property values to new investment opportunities, we're separating the facts from the uncertainty and helping you understand Edmonton's changing real estate landscape.

🏡 In This Episode:

• Edmonton's 8-Plex Controversy: Why are eight-unit infill developments creating so much debate in established neighbourhoods?
• Alberta Government Intervention: What happened on October 8, and why has the province ordered Edmonton to reconsider its zoning regulations?
• Are 8-Plexes Being Banned? What the provincial directive actually means and why the situation is still evolving.
• Edmonton Property Values: Could changes to infill development affect what your home is worth?
• Buying a Home in Edmonton: Why understanding zoning and potential development on neighbouring lots matters before you buy.
• Real Estate Investing in Edmonton: What investors and developers should consider if their planned eight-plex becomes a six-plex or four-plex.
• What's Next for Edmonton Zoning? Important timelines, potential changes, and what to watch for.

🎤 Plus, a Little Real Life!

Before diving into Edmonton's housing debate, Tracie shares her experience broadcasting live in support of the Stollery Children's Hospital Foundation's Mighty Millions Lottery, including the incredible $2.5 million show home!

Devin also shares highlights from Invested 2026, a three-day real estate investing event hosted by Trust Your Talent at Edmonton's JW Marriott. From inspiring success stories to celebrating investors achieving financial freedom, it's a reminder of what's possible with education, planning, and the right investment strategy.

💬 We Want to Hear From You!

Should Edmonton encourage more housing in established neighbourhoods, or has infill development gone too far, too fast?

Are you an Edmonton homeowner concerned about neighbourhood changes? A buyer wondering what could be built next door? Or an investor reconsidering an infill development?

We'd love to hear your perspective!
