January 8, 2010

Well, the New Year has begun and once again we look back and ask 'where has the time gone?'.  Ten years ago we were dealing with Y2K and what might have happened with that.  Since then we've had a huge real estate market boom that started in 2005 and lasted until late 2008.  With the economic crisis that affected everyone worldwide we thought values would plummet and it would be years until we recoved.  But things didn't go the way we thought they might - at least not in Victoria - so the market is strong as is most facets of our little world.

The big questions in Victoria right now are - do we build a new bridge or save the old one, what do we do with all the rabbits at UVic, and pretty soon it will be flower count time!  We have to count our blessings! 

Now that the holidays are over the market is picking up a bit again.  We went through a very slow period of listings - can't blame home owners for not wanting to be listed over the holidays.  A very frustrating situation for buyers though, as they still wanted get bought and moving on with the lives.  Please check out my current active listings and if you are interested in buying or selling, give me a call.

I wish everyone well for 2010 and great success in whatever you undertake.
