This course is held at the No. 1 Fire Hall on Broadway Street, for more information and to register please visit Port Coquitlam's website.
On a positive Real Estate note, today CREA (The Canadian Real Estate Association) just released today information that national homes sales edged up slightly on a month to month basis last month from March to April of this year. They are also reporting that from April 2012 to April 2013 the national average sale price rose 1.3%. “National sales activity is stable and the market remains balanced,” said CREA President Laura Leyser. “That said, trends for sales and listings and for the balance between the two can be and often are very different between and within local housing markets, and between property types and neighbourhoods. These trends are important factors in determining pricing. Your local REALTOR® is your best resource for understanding how the housing market is shaping up where you live or might like to.” For the full report please visit CREA’s website.
I hope you have a chance to get out and have some fun this long weekend! Enjoy the extra day off work and if you are traveling please be safe out there on the roads! I however am always on call, so if you have any questions about the latest CREA report feel free to contact me (markbrennan@hotmail.ca or www.mbrennan.ca) I would be happy to provide you with more information!
