Balanced conditions set to return to most Canadian housing markets in 2012, while residential values expected to once again set new records, says RE/MAX Mississauga, ON (December 6, 2011) - Canadian residential real estate defied conventional logic and outperformed expectations in 2011, posting another solid year of housing activity virtually across the board. The trend is expected to carry forward into 2012 as Canadians continue to demonstrate their faith in homeownership, despite concerns over the European debt crisis and its impact on the global economy, according to a report released by RE/MAX. The RE/MAX Housing Market Outlook 2012 examined trends and developments in 26 major markets across the country. Eighty-eight per cent (23/26) anticipated average price increases by year-end 2...

Back in January 2010, I wrote a review about a new Sandwich Cafe , The Hot Roast Company, that opened in Gananoque.  It was fantastic then and it is even more fantastic now!!! It occurred to me that I hadn't written about it in awhile and I will apologize in advance, for the photo that follows! You see, they have expanded their menu and, in the past week, I have eaten there twice and have had the same item - OMG Yum!!! With my husband I ordered a Roast Pork Pannini and before I even thought about a photo, I had devoured my delectible meal.  You wouldn't even have known a Roast Turkey and Cranberry Pannini had ever graced my husband's plate, it was so clean and EMPTY! I went back again 2 days later with a friend who DARED to ask the question, "Is it REAL meat or deli meat?"  I practicall...

Gananoque, On If you have never attended a holiday Pantomime in the British tradition, you have no idea how much fun you are missing!!!!   Inter-active fun from the stage to the audience - no room for the shy or reserved. From Wikipedia : "Traditionally performed at Christmas, with family audiences, British pantomime is now a popular form of theatre, incorporating song, dance, buffoonery, slapstick, cross-dressing, in-jokes, topical references, audience participation, and mild sexual innuendo. Audience participation is a huge part of the Panto, including calls of "He's behind you!" (or "Look behind you!"), and "Oh, yes it is!" and "Oh, no it isn't!" The audience is always encouraged to boo the villain and "awwwww" the poor victims, such as the rejected dame, who usually fancies the pri...

I did my first shift yesterday (actually a double shift of 11 - 1 and then 3 - 5) yesterday for The Salvation Army kettle drive here in Gananoque. I feel guilty each time I have a shift because my spot is inside at our Provincially-run Liquor Store!  They have a nice spot for me, with a chair, right behind the checkout and before the exit. Others who volunteer their time have to stand outside in the cold, at the Grocery Store !!! It is quite an eye opener for me to see how a steady the stream of customers can be at 11 am but also an equal surprise to see the generosity of these same shoppers.  The majority would give $5 but many gave $10, $20 and even some $50s.  Each person thanked me as if I was The Salvation Army myself and it was quite humbling to say the least. Some wanted to chat,...

Gananoque, On There is lots of discussion with regard to what is happening in our local Real Estate Market. People are asking how this year compares to last year in our Gananoque Residential Home Sales Market. It seems everyone has an opinion on what is going on! Let me provide you with the Facts - Stats from our MLS (as at the end of October 2011)   In The Town of Gananoque: Listings Year to date 2010:  170 Homes Listings Year to date 2011:  168 homes  Sales Year to date 2010: 71 homesSales Year to date 2011: 75 homes Average Sales Price YTD 2010:   $211,957 Average Sales Price YTD 2011: $201,850 So now you know! This is how 2011 compares to last year.  In my opinion, the lower Average Sales Price is due to the lessor amount of high end properties selling this year. (We do have buyers ...
