Don’t know about you but I just can’t take the heat!!!  It’s been so cold for so long that we’re just not used to it and this big Newfie coat isn’t helping.  Mama started trimming it back with the clippers a few weeks ago and I wasn’t being very cooperative but let me tell you I will be a very good boy and stand very still if she’ll just just back some of this thick fur!  Nicholas has no problem with his fine coat.  TG we’ve got the AC cranked and I’m laying right on the largest vent in the house!!!  I’m usually the kind of guy who shares but not in this weather.  I can’t wait for Mama to take me to New River this weekend so that I can jump right in.  She says it’s so hot she may jump right in behind me!  It won’t be the first time.  Now Papa, that’s a different story.  He puts his toe in the cold water and runs for the beach!  Nicholas isn’t much better, getting in to his knees but with this heat I’m sure he’ll jump in too.  We’ve been seeing on the news how there have now been two great white sharks seen in the water of the Bay of Fundy!!!  Mama worries about me, she says I’d be the ‘full meal deal’!  So I stay very close to shore, going just over my head so that I can swim freely.  We may even get Papa in the bay to his knees this weekend!

The market continues to boom!  Homes sales more brisk than Mama has seen in ten years!  Plenty of relocators coming in from Ontario and the west with the bulk of Mama and Charlie’s buyers coming in from BC this year.  With the exorbitant prices and small lots of BC, these buyers think they’ve died and gone straight to Heaven when they see what their hard earned dollar can get them here in New Brunswick!  If you’ve been thinking about selling, now is the time.  Call Mama and Charlie with any real estate questions you may have or ask for a free market analyses.

Congratulations to our seller of York Point, Suite 104 on the sale of their waterfront condo.  This was an exclusive listing in need of some updates which will be carried out by the excited local buyer.   We wish the buyer many years of happy memories in their new unit with one of the best views on the Harbour Front!

Suite 104, York Point is SOLD!

We’re excited about our new Global Luxury Listing at 1 Malabeam Lane, Sagamore Point, Rothesay.  Nested on two full lush acres surrounded by mature trees on a quiet cul de sac this executive home has it all!  Wine cellar, huge granite eat-in custom kitchen with upscale stainless steel appliances and deck access, three fireplaces, great room with cathedral ceiling, main floor master, rec room complete with wet bar,  pool table and more!  Moor your boat in the protected cove and launch your dingy or kayak off your own private shore.  If you appreciate privacy, you’re going to love all this property has to offer.  This installation of a brand new six foot berm across the back and sides of the property assures no risk of flooding in spring freshet!  Offered at $548,000 MLS # NB028280. Live the lifestyle many only dream of!

 

 

Congratulations to Mama who celebrated 15 Years in Real Estate yesterday on July 4th!  She says if she were American there’d be fireworks.  Mama has worked with thousands of wonderful buyers and sellers in this time frame and takes great pride in helping sellers move on with new lifestyle plans as the buyers move into their dream homes!  She looks forward to many more years in a profession her father always wanted her in!  When she went into interior design in 1985 her father said, “Forget the decorating, you should be in real estate”!  She loved design and enjoyed it for many years not realizing until the first day she was licensed in real estate that it would have been his birthday and had his wish!  He passed away young at 61 years old in 1992 but she always thought he was looking down on her that day smiling on the fate that his wish had begun!

Hope you have a great weekend.  Don’t forget plenty of sun screen if you’re out and about and please do not take leave children or furry friends in the car in this  hot weather!!!  Have a great one!
