Watch out for revolving postal strikes! Vernon is on the picket lines at 11:30 pm tonight for 24 hours. Make sure you call all your utility and credit card companies. They are not forgiving and still expect interest and penalties. Business can be done on-line so set up your accounts so you can pay on-line so you don’t incur extra charges.

It is finally looking up to be a fantastic weekend in the Sunny Okanagan. I will be hiking, enjoying a local vintage, taking in a sunset and selling houses. I have appointments with clients coming in from out of town looking for a home with a pool. It has the makings of being a perfect summer weekend!

April’s real estate market dipped compared to sales reported in April of 2010. Housing sales slowed down after a busy start to the 2011 year to reflect a more balanced market.
The Kelowna Real Estate Market is still recovering albeit at a slow and steady pace. Nothing like the brisk years of 2006 and 2007.

News from Japan’s nuclear regulator this morning stated that there is a possibility that the failed nuclear plant’s reactor core may be cracked and leaking radiation. Cattle farmers in the region have been ordered to keep livestock from grazing on potentially contaminated pastures. In Europe, a renegotiation of the recent financing accord from the EU has somewhat deflated the European Union’s idea for a comprehensive anti-crisis strategy. Germany’s concerns over carrying the weight of debt strickened nations were heard and Angela Merkel’s demand to pare the startup capital for the emergency aid mechanism was heeded, lowering the fund’s paid in capital from 40 billion to 16 billion euros.
