Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch Relay - Moncton event

Larry Estabrooks, Moncton Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Moncton, NB

A community celebration took place at the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships stadium (under construction) on the Université de Moncton campus. Festivites began before I arrived just after 6 p.m. with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic flame arriving around 7 p.m.

This is the first time the stadium has been used. It is still under construction. In addition to the 2010 IAAF World Junior Championships to be held here next summer, a CFL game is sheduled to be held here in 2010.

Here are two short videos of the some highlights.

My Moncton Housing Market Report for May 2009

Larry Estabrooks, Moncton Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Moncton, NB

The total number year-to-date of residential sales within the City of Moncton reported to the GMREB is down by 28.5%. This number stands out when compared to the City of Dieppe (-8%) and the Town of Riverview (-17.5%). The overall number for the three municipalities is down 22.7%. Learn how to take advantage of the current real estate market on my blog - www.blogMoncton.com.

Because a significant percentage of residential sales in Moncton are new construction housing, I prepared a chart for existing and a chart for new.

April 2009 Moncton Housing Market Report

Larry Estabrooks, Moncton Real Estate: Real Estate Agent in Moncton, NB

Now that Winter has melted away the Moncton housing market should be warming up. But that is not the case so far in 2009.

Both new and existing residential unit sales reported on the Greater Moncton Real Estate Board MLS® are down. If fact residential unit sales are at the lowest year-to-date level in the last 5 years.

Also single detached and multiple new housings starts reported by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation for the Moncton Census Metropolitan Area indicate lower numbers in both categories.
