GOOD NEWS (for a change!): The Fed. Gov't adjusted mortgage rules to protect & strengthen our housing market; Bank of Can. says "major reversal in house prices is unlikely in the near term"; IMF declares "Can. 1 of only 2 major-market countries where home prices are undervalued" and "turbulence in the housing sector won't lead to macroecomonic instability as in the US"; MPAC in '09 will have to prove the high assessment on your property if you challenge them (not vice-versa as it has been); Clarksburg is $5M closer to municipal water & sewer servicing (call or e us for details).

LOCAL MLS® STAT'S: While the Georgian Triangle shows a slowing listing to sales ratio due to the plethora of choice for buyers today ('07 was 38%, '08 is 31% so far), the overall average residential sale price is still up 1.26% and 864 residential properties have sold, only 10% less than Jan-June '07.
