This weekend marks the 12th Annual 70 Mile Yard Sale in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada. Many interested buyers from PEI, other parts of Canada, etc., journey to southeastern Prince Edward Island to find the yard sale items that best meets their needs.
The 70 mile yard sale in PEI is tremendous for local businesses such as restaurants, gas bars, B&B's, cottages, stores, etc. No doubt their sales will soar this weekend.
It's also a great time to get out and meet old and new friends, have a chat, and enjoy the fellowship of the event. For a PEI Real Estate agent it is a good chance to network with potential buyers from all over the region and beyond.
17th Annual Abegweit Pow-Wow took place from the Panmure Island Cultural Grounds in Panmure Island, Prince Edward Island, Canada. The Pow-Wow reunites Aboriginal peoples from across Canada. Jimmy Augustine from Elsipogtog, New Brunswick was the Master of Ceremonies for the great event.
A Pow-Wow is a rejoicing of life through a feast and dance to the "Heart Beat of Mother Earth" represented in the Sacred Drum. The drummers are the Stoney Bear Singers from Eskasoni, Nova Scotia. The Pow-Wow includes: traditional teachings, Aboriginal art, booths with great crafts, bingo, and tickets with a chance to win many monetary prizes.
The Pow-Wow ended on Sunday evening with the Mi'kmaq Feast that is open to the visiting public. Included on the menu was famous PEI lobster, mussels, salmon, strawberry cake dessert, tea, etc. The line ups were long but the wait was worth the very enjoyable meal, and fellowship with the Aboriginal people of Canada.
The Pow-Wow location in Panmure Island, PEI is great because the excellent sand beach is close by for enjoyable swimming and to cool off from the warm August weather in beautiful Prince Edward Island.
The Aboriginal people have a very rich culture and tradition; the Pow-Wow is a great expression of this culture and is a great way to educate the general public.
Is Twitter a valuable tool for a PEI Real Estate agent in Prince Edward Island, Canada, or, for that matter, an agent anywhere in the world? That is the "big question".
On Twitter you are exposed to millions of tweeters that are potential real estate buyers or sellers. The challenge is to form a relationship with some of them and eventually key in on your business of interest - real estate. These many tweeters are common folk, but there are also many celebrities or high profile business people that could be potential investors.
Twitter has people that you follow and people that follow you. You can reply to those you follow, but you can send a direct message to your followers. The key is to have many followers. CNN has over 1 million followers, and many celebrities, etc have many hundreds of thousands of followers. So the challenge for the common real estate agent is to build the follower list to a high number.
How valid are the Twitter tweeters? You may think you are talking to some big business man or celebrity, when, in fact, you are never quite sure as to the person's authenticity.
Twitter raises an interesting question though: where else in the communications world could you potentially be talking to a giant celebrity or well know investor? Twitter has a wonderful potential for a real estate transaction but, again, there is no guarantee. One thing is for sure: you are "rubbing shoulders" with the well known of the world.

We don't think of wild life as a property enhancement; we think rather: "is it near water?" or "does it have curb appeal?", etc.
Recently I was taking some pictures of a beautiful Private 27 acre waterfront property in Murray Harbour, Prince Edward Island, Canada. I walked down the scenic back road toward the water, and saw a rabbit running across the road in front of me. It did something for my liking of the property. The rabbit or rabbits will add to the natural charm of the property for any of the future buyers, especially if they appreciate wildlife.
At the end of my picture taking, I noticed a Pheasant had landed in a group of trees. (The above picture was the result of that magnificent occurance.)
There you go, a property where the rabbits and pheasnts are thrown in for free to the future investor - can't beat that deal!

The country of Canada is made up of 10 provinces and 3 territories. It doesn't have the biggest economy in the world, but, in my humble view, it is the greatest country.
Some facts on Canada:
- Canada doesn't have the greatest army in the world, but it is powerful because it is the largest supplier of crude oil to the United States of America.
- It has a government run, universal health care for all of its citizens.
- Canada has the most stable banking system in the world.
- Canada is a strong believer in the Rights of Minorities.
- Canada and the United States have the biggest and healthiest trade relationship of any countries in the world.
I reside in Prince Edward Island - the smallest province of Canada which is known for its PEI potatoes, Anne of Green Gables, tasty lobster, white sand ocean beaches, and its friendly people.

Canada's banks are the best in the world, and the housing market on Prince Edward Island is very stable. This makes Prince Edward Island Real Estate an excellent investment in these turbulent times.
Central Mortgage & Housing (CMHC) reports that Prince Edward Islandwaterfront properties remain very attractive to investors. In the year 2000, the average price of a recreational property in PEI was $48,360. In contrast, by the end of 2007, the value had increased to $120,620., an increase of nearly 150%. Going along with the higher prices, was also an increased level of sales of properties. In 2000 the number of recreational properties sold in PEI was 76, by the end of 2007, the number of recreational property units sold was an astonishing 131 units. One reason for this increase is from former residents of Prince Edward Island who have left the province and gained money to come back and purchase waterfront cottages, etc.
Recently a lot of Prince Edward Islanders have gone to the oil rich province of Alberta to work for good wages. These same islanders will eventually be buying PEI Real Estate and probably retire in PEI.
