Update in Alberta

Recession? Perhaps, but it is all part of the ride we take as business owners. So how we handle it is really the question. Do we give up? Do we spend more? Do we ride it out and see what happens? There are many theories to support each one of those concepts, yet I believe that we have to listen to our hearts on this and in my case, I pray. I seek the Lord's direction and He always shows me the way.  May I suggest that you do the same? Perhaps it's been a while since you spoke to Him and He would love to hear from you.

The market here is up from what it was but nowhere near where it should be. I hear from Agents every day, that they are either very busy or not at all. So it makes me wonder if it's the strong who survive? Maybe success is a state of mind?

Yes it is and don't lose the faith in yourself. Know that things will be better. We rely on AB ppl and they are coming out but not in the droves they had been in the past. This is the time to stay focused and persevere!

Hi Jill. I am in Ontario which has just gone into the status of being one of the "have not" provinces in Canada. Personally, though, I think most people are still doing well, and I really find business is picking up after a slow winter.

Maybe I am optimistic because I am not listing home for sale by sellers who have run into difficulty, though I am sure there are many of them around.

Quite the opposite. I sold a recreation property this month and we had lots of interest and a quick sale even though the price was fairly high for this area.
