African Proverb

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.

It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.

Every morning a lion wakes up.

It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a loin or a gazelle.

When the suns comes up, you better start running.

All About Condos – Part 1

John Morrison — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:46:21 +0000

A “condominium” typically refers to a form of legal ownership, as opposed to a style of construction. Condominiums are most often thought of as high-rise residential buildings, but this form of ownership can also apply to townhouse complexes, individual houses and low-rise residential buildings.

Condominiums are also known as strata in British Columbia or syndicates of co-ownership in Quebec.

Condominiums consist of two parts. The first part is a collection of private dwellings called “units”. Each unit is owned by and registered in the name of the purchaser of the unit. The second part consists of the common elements of the building that may include lobbies, hallways, elevators, recreational facilities, walkways, gardens, etc. Common elements may also include structural elements and mechanical and electrical services. The ownership of these common elements is shared amongst the individual unit owners, as is the cost for their operation, maintenance and ongoing replacement.

Listing Your Home in March

It looks like people who got their home on the market before the spring real estate season have been rewarded.

Homes have been selling fairly quickly and at a good price. This may last another couple of weeks before the number of homes on the market increases significantly and thus balancing the supply and demand for homes.
