It’s Not Too Late To Donate – Run/Walk so that children in Uganda can too!!

Run4Another

hosted by One 4 Another is here!

Would you like to help us get kids up and running in Uganda? This year’s Run4Another Walk/Run was held Saturday May 11 @ 9:45 am at Bechtel Park in Waterloo. We had a fantastic time. Approx 290 runner/walkers came out.

The Baverstock Team’s 2019 Team goal is $1,800.00. If you wish to donate, click here. It’s not too late. We would love to surpass our goal!

One 4 Another provides surgeries for children in Uganda. Top fundraisers are matched with a child on their waiting list.

How far does the money you donate actually go?

$50 = all transportation costs during child’s recovery

$100 = all medical tests, meds, transportation, crutches, braces for a child’s recovery

$250 = hernia surgery

$250 = clubfoot treatment (infant)

$500 = clubfoot surgery (for child)

$800 = osteomyelitis surgery (severe bone infection)

$1000 = double clubfoot surgery (older child)

$1000 = complex birth defect surgery (i.e. imperforated anus)

This is a fun event with the proceeds going to a worthwhile cause. For more information about One 4 Another International, visit their website.

Welcome Spring with a bright entry

Your front door is the focal point of your home’s exterior, so what better way to welcome spring than with a new look for your entrance. Your home can put on a bright new face with some inexpensive improvements, such as a repainted front door, urns and planters with a show of colour, a new welcome mat and perhaps even an upgrade to your exterior lighting.

Improving your home’s curb appeal is an important factor in resale value. Prospective buyers looking at your listing often make their decision to buy in the first few moments. To learn more about how to show off your home to its best advantage, contact your Coldwell Banker professional.

Home sales and prices to rise in 2020

Canada’s real estate market is expected to edge higher next year, according to the latest industry forecast. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) predicts national MLS® home sales will rise by 2% in 2020, to reach 459,400 units.

Prices are also expected to edge slightly higher next year, to reach a national average of $490,800.

Of course, this national overview is the ‘big picture’. Home prices can vary between communities, within neighbourhoods, or even on the same street. For a closer look at sales and prices in your area, contact your local Coldwell Banker real estate professional.

Thoughts on timing the market

Buying a home can be a very complex process. Some buyers think the best strategy is to try to time the market, but this can be an unwise approach.

Your housing investment shouldn’t be looked at in the same way as you’d choose stocks or bonds. Housing values typically appreciate over time, so it’s best to look at it as a long term investment. Buying for lifestyle reasons, as opposed to trying to realize a quick profit, will help ensure that you’re viewing home ownership in the right context.

Instead of trying to time the market, waiting for a perceived window – and potentially missing out on the perfect home – buyers should focus on their own lifestyle needs and buy when the time is truly right for them and their family.
