Elizabeth St. Cyr stated: "Just like the commercial says, it truly is "the most wonderful time of the year"...that is when the children are back to school, and us adults return to organized, scheduled normality...Just when we finally feel like summer has arrived in its truest form, it appears that it's soon to be over. The start of the school year typically signifies the end of summer and the onset of fall...Roll on Indian Summer...I truly think we deserve it after the "summer" we have just experienced...if I dare even call it summer. It's been a bit of an odd market too this year. When it's normally busy it's been quiet, and conversley when we expected quiet it was busy. No complaints here, at least there is still activity despite what the economists are saying. Things will pick up again in the next week or two as people set back into their routine. So don't think of this as the quiet time of the year, it really isn't - perhaps a tad quieter than the spring market - but definitely still a good time to consider selling or buying a property. But for the next day or two the focus is on the kids and school. Enjoy!

"Things will pick up again in the next week or two as people set back into their routine." Well said Elizabeth - things definitely will pick-up with school being back in and people returning to their "normal" routines! This past weekend, we had an influx of 4 buyers all at the same time - a good beginning to the FALL MARKET!! Thankfully, Canada's and Altantic Canada's real estate markets remain healthy and consistent (unlike our southern neighbours).
I look forward to a strong fall with good weather! Call our office today to get ready...
