This being our first ever winter, we can’t believe what went on outside our windows yesterday!!! We’ve seen some snowfall this winter but nothing like the high winds, blowing snow & drifts we experienced yesterday and all last night! Our driveway, and those of our neighbours here in Rothesay, are still not cleared. We have a juicy barbequed chicken on hold at Cochran’s, just waiting for our driveway to get cleared. We love chicken, at least we know we’re going to have a yummy supper.

Our hearts go out to contractors working on home construction this time of year. Difficult enough any winter but with a storm like this, it’s a nightmare! Good luck guys and gals.

Mama and Cody are happy to be working with new buyers from out of country. Looking for something outside of Fredericton, towards Moncton, for commutes between the two cities. Looking for some acreage with the house (minimum roughly five acres) and a 3-5 bedroom house. It’s okay if the house needs some updating. Give Mama a call if you know of anything like this.

Getting super tired of the cold and snow already and this is only early February. Both snow and cold are new to us and along with everyone else we know, we don’t like it! Good thing we are indoor cats!!! We both did sneak out one day, but only got about 10 feet when we stopped dead in our tracks, realizing what we just ran out into. Whoa, what a nightmare. Mama picked us up quickly and we didn’t try that stunt again.

We are happy to see that the mortgage rates have lowered this winter and you can now lock in a 5-year terms at 3.99%. It’s getting increasingly difficult for buyers to get not only the home of their dreams but just finding a home in general. There is so little on the market. Be sure to look after your credit rating and if you’re thinking about buying a house, don’t finance anything else in the meanwhile or it will seriously affect your ability to get a mortgage. For example; a car, appliances, TV, etc. Get the mortgage first and then you can go ahead with smaller items.

Hope you are staying warm and safe on the icy roads!
