How To Price Your Nanaimo Home to sell

New sellers often think that it’s better to start high and see what happens.  This is almost always a big mistake.  If you price your home wrong you will lose a lot of potential qualified buyers, and even if you lower the asking price of you home, they will not come back.
How do you know how to price your home?
Most people have a pretty good idea of the … (0 comments)

Are Baby Boomers Attracted By Housing In Nanaimo?
Will homes in Nanaimo be attractive to the baby boom generation?
Nanaimo is certainly attractive to baby boomers.  That’s one of the reasons that we moved here, and maybe why you have – or are considering – moving to Nanaimo as well.

2012 cruise ship schedule for Nanaimo - 05/13/12 03:36 PM
2012 cruise ship schedule for Nanaimo
The 2012 Nanaimo cruise ship season will see several ships visiting Nanaimo this summer and fall.   The ships will be docking at Nanaimo’s brand new cruise ship terminal.  This will mean that passengers will not have to be tendered into shore.
The terminal opened in early May 2011. The first ship to dock there was the Norwegian Pearl.  Apparently the dock was a breeze for the captain to manoeuvre in and out of.  Once passengers came ashore they were loaded onto regional transit buses and taken on a five-point guided tour of the city.
