hamilton home review: Hamilton Councillor out of line on MacMaster - 04/30/09 01:10 PM
Councillor Bob Bratina blew it recently when he stated, with disgust, that the university is "an unwieldy leviathan ruining everything around it," and a "huge nuisance".
MacMaster University-with more than 19,000 full-time undergraduate students, almost 3,000 grad students and more than 7,500 employees--has a huge positive impact on our city with its ability to attract bright minds, research money and prestige.
Bratina made the comment at a council meeting that concerned a proposed zoining change so a developer can build a 10-storey apartment building to house 600 students between Rifle Range and Ewen roads, south of Main St. West.

hamilton home review: Timing, price, and location: it's sold! - 02/03/09 11:15 PM

House #1 A 20-room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. per month. In natural gas alone, this property co nsumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house … (2 comments)

hamilton home review: Ranking Real Estate sites in Canada - 04/11/08 12:10 PM
As this is our first entry we thought we'd say hello with some interesting stats concerning the most popular websites in Canada and their relevance to real estate.
MLS.ca is the 57th most popular site of all websites in the country. That's pretty good but not great. As the MLS is supposed to be the monopoly for anyone looking for listed houses anywhere in Canada, you'd think it would rank higher.
Here's some that did rank higher:
Kijiji.ca, Canada's biggest classified ad site ranked #17. Oddly enough, it is also one of the most popular sites for private sellers to advertise homes. Some agents are catching … (1 comments)
