From one extreme to the other...

Since January 1, 2013, business has been busy. There have been a few commercial properties moving and that is promising. We have also had people looking at houses, but not much as far a anyone making offers. At least until this past Monday. We had three offers go through our office on Monday, and I received another one yesterday! Is it because of my super duper fantastic sales ability? Ummm...anything but that. Not all of the offers were mine, but it certainly is nice to see some activity. And I think that when the buying public sees a few more SOLD signs out there, this may help get some off of the fence and more eager to make a move. Mind you, we still have some properties that have been on the market for quite some time and that is frustrating, not only to me, but to the main party - the Sellers. I hope that we can bring them some good news sooner than later. I am working on it!

Vulcan at the Home and Garden Show

The Town of Vulcan has a booth at the Calgary Home and Garden Show this weekend. The goal is to get the general public more aware of what the Town has to offer, and perhaps get some people/businesses to consider setting up in our town. We have good health care facilities here, a really nice 18 hole golf course, outdoor swimming pool, walking path, great schools, along with many other activities. We are also close to two lakes which are very popular with the recreational enthusiasts - Lake McGregor and Little Bow. The average price of a home sold in 2012 was just under $200,000, and we have lots to build on which are adjacent to the "back 18" of the golf course for as low as $45,000! Vulcan is located between two large centres, Calgary and Lethbridge, on Highway 23, and we have lots of choices for commercial properties for lease or purchase. AND, we have the name VULCAN. How many other communities around North America would absolutely love to have a name so recognizable! Indeed, Vulcan is a great place to "Live long and prosper!"
