prince george real estate: Canadians voice your concern and have a say in next Federal Budget - 12/13/08 12:16 PM
Here is a great chance for Canadians to voice there concern and have input to the next Federal Budget. As for Real Estate here in Canada may I suggest one idea you add in the 'Other' comments.
Ask the Federal Gov't to add in the budget that Canadians who invest in Real Estate and sell their investments that they can 'Roll Over' or suspend paying Capital Gains as long as they invest in another Real Estate investment. This would be big for investors to move their Capital Gains (Profit) to the next Real Estate investment without paying tax yet.

prince george real estate: Should you down size? - 11/26/08 10:28 PM
A great many moves in our lives are to larger residences to accommodate growing families. Or, perhaps our financial development allows us to move up to a larger home with more features and amenities. There is no stress involved in trying to reduce our life's stuff to fit into a smaller place. If anything, we just need to shop for some more furniture for the new larger place.There is the other side of this coin, however. Perhaps there have been economic setbacks, and we can no longer afford a large home. We need to downsize to something less expensive, and with … (0 comments)

prince george real estate: Can't trust what you read or hear in the news! - 11/17/08 10:50 PM
As every day, week go by I find the news media becoming more inaccurate with their facts and I don't see a real good reason why. For the record in Prince George the MLS stats for single family homes on the market here as of Oct.30, 2008 is 487 homes! Not the 800 to 1000 you will hear out there. Prince George is in a great position to recover ahead of most other places in BC or in Canada for that matter. Unlike the bigger centers Prince George builders never over built and most of the previous sales and future will … (0 comments)

prince george real estate: A great way to take the hassle out of renting a home. - 02/21/08 10:35 AM
A great way to take the hassle out of renting a home.
Have you or your clients ever tried to rent out a home? Well if you have then most of the time, it is a lot of wasted time having prospective tenants call you and arrange a time for you to meet, you show up and they are not there. Why because they drove by and decided they did not like the location or something else and because they do not know you they have no problem just not showing up and leaving you sitting there wondering if they are coming. … (2 comments)

Who says life in the Prince George Real Estate market is not exciting. I had meant to post this last year when I got the picture but ended up getting busy and forgot I even had this photo.
My neighbor in Aug.2007 in his back yard took this picture. Yup, his dog heard some noise and by the time he got to the door, his dog had treed a momma bear and her cub.
After he took the picture, he called in his dog and they gave the bears time to come down and move on back up the hill.
Oh ya...this was a telephoto lens so these … (3 comments)
