UKRAINE TO SELL ITS ONLY SUBMARINE
The only
submarine owned by Ukraine's navy will be put up for sale. Ukrainian
Defense Minister Anatoliy Grytsenko said the vessel has been
undergoing a major overhaul for the past 10 years, but the work will
probably be completed at the end of 2007. The vessel will be
exhibited around the world to attract potential buyers. Proceeds
from the sale, estimated at 50 million to 70 million U.S, will be
invested in streamlining the country's naval force.
Originally
owned by the Soviet Union, it has belonged to Ukraine's navy since
1997. It went into operation 35 years ago, covering a total distance
of 13,000 sea miles. It cruised in many maritime spaces, traveling
to as far as the Arctic Pole,
Cuba and the Barents Sea. Source: Xinhua

REAL ESTATE UPDATE
Ottawa Real
Estate Board reported that single-family homes sales have increased
by four per cent over last year at this time. Condominiums are
selling quite well with the average time on the market being just 31
days. If you are one of the many Canadians who are wondering where
our real estate market may be heading, here are a few facts that you
might want to know.
First, remember
that real estate is a cyclical business. There are several signs
that we may be about to enter a new cycle according to many industry
experts. Very low interest rates have been in place for a few years
now and this has already attracted many people out of the rental
market. To a large extent, pent-up demand for housing has now been
satisfied as renters wanting to step up into home ownership have
already made their move. Further proof of this situation is the fact
that rental vacancy rates are now on the rise in many urban centers
across the country.
Second,
interest rates have begun to inch upwards. The Bank of Canada
recently raised is Bank rate by a quarter of a percentage point and
has hinted that another modest rate may be coming. As mortgage rates
start to rise, homes will tend to become less affordable for
prospective buyers.
Eventually, there being fewer
buyers in the market. This in turn may result in fewer homes being
sold, which would gradually create an increase in the inventory of
homes available or sale. It also means what has been a sellers
market will start to cycle into a moe buyer environment. That’s good
news for buyers, because there’s more to choose from and perhaps
even a little less competition for available listings. Buyers should
not be too confident of capitalizing on this shift. Smartly priced
homes in desirable locations will continue to be snapped up quickly.
Home values are still projected to climb in the coming year, just at
a more modest pace.
A larger
inventory of listings tends to extend the length of time a property
is on the market before it sells. That may not come as good news if
you’re a seller. However, while it may take your home a little
longer to sell than in the height of the boom, the good news is that
homes will continue to command good prices. Just be prepared to give
it time!
INVESTMENT PROPERTIES:
All
buildings from 2 units plus are selling quite well, and are
commanding fair market value.
Examples:
Britannia
area: 2 units $ 235,00-342,000, CentreTown: 2-5 units
$218,000-567,000, Sandy Hill: 2-3 units $ 475,000-660,000,Glebe: 2
units $ 443,000-527,000
Throughout my career as a
Coldwell Banker® real estate professional, I’ve found that
the one thing that every customer wants is great service. Whether
you are a buyer or seller; regardless of location, style, and price
range, that’s the one common denominator that every customer
demands, and rightfully so !
