WHY I would go to see BILL CLINTON speak in Moncton, New Brunswick, CANADA??

Ann-Marie Clements Luxury Homes Realtor Saint John, Quispamsis, & Grand Bay: Real Estate Agent in Saint John, NB

This is one person I always wanted to meet and now I have that opportunity!!!

Former President William Jefferson Clinton is coming to Moncton, New Brunswick, CANADA. He will be speaking to mostly Canadian citizens (even a few former American citizens like myself) about the World Economy. He speech is titled: "Focus on Global Economy". Currently, 75% of the tickets are already sold and will probably be sold by November 25th, when he does his speech at the Moncton Coliseum Complex in Moncton, New Brunswick.

I believe that Clinton is very, very knowledgeable about world economics. In 1968, he originally received his undergraduate degree in International Affairs, at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. During his freshman & sophomore years at Georgetown, he was elected Student President. During his junior & senior years he worked as an intern for Senator J. William Fulbright, the Arkansas Democrat who chaired the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

From there, he won a Rhodes Scholar Scholarhip to Oxford University in England. As a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, he studied Government. He then went to Yale University Law School and graduated in 1973.

After graduating from Yale, he joined the faculty of the University of Arkansas School of Law, where he taught until 1976.

Being the Governor of Arkansas and becoming the U.S. President for 8 economically productive years. When he left the presidency, he also had other accomplishments that are listed here:

1) In 2004, he wrote his autobiography called, "My Life".

2) In 2005, after the devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean that destroyed several countries, he was appointed by the United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, to serve as a Special Envoy for Relief Efforts.

3) In 2007, he wrote "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World". Where he encouraged readers to become involved in various worthy causes.

Even though, he might have had some questionable "moral issues", I believe he will be a DYNAMIC SPEAKER when he speaks in Moncton on November 25th, from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Come join us and get enlightened from his speech!!! My older daughter & myself will be there...

Metro Moncton housing more affordable than Fredericton or Saint John

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

Live for less in the metro Moncton area.

Average housing prices are not jumping in the metro Moncton area. I've prepared the tables below to show sales in the metro area ONLY (City of Moncton, City of Dieppe and Town of Riverview), as reported in the Moncton Real Estate Board Multiple Listing Service® database.

These statistics point to a metro area residential market that so far is almost identical to last year.
Unit sales are down a mere 1.7% year to date.
Average sale price, average sale to list percentage and average list duration are all nearly the same year over year.
New construction sales represent over 20% of the residential metro market.

The location and some details for Casino New Brunswick, a destination casino, hotel and multi-use entertainment and convention centre to be built in the Magnetic Hill area of the City of Moncton were released today by the Province of New Brunswick and Sonco Gaming New Brunswick Limited Partnership.

The casino complex will be comprised of three completely separate and distinct buildings - a hotel, the Palladium (a multifunction entertainment and convention centre), and the casino - all integrated into one linear design. The buildings will be connected by an interior corridor that allows internal access to all three buildings.

New Moncton Casino Will Effect Property Values, but how?

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

The Province of New Brunswick recently approved a bid that will result in the construction of what will be the only casino in the Province.

The reportedly $90,000,000 destination casino and 128 room hotel will be built on a 70 acre parcel of land located a few hundred feet outside of Moncton city limits and adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway. In addition to being our first casino, a development of this scale outside of the downtown area is unprecedented in our real estate market. In the immediate area of the casino parcel several smaller parcels of vacant land and some residences are currently for sale.

Based on your real estate experience, what effect do you expect the new development will have on property values in the immediate area of a new casino complex?

New Brunswick Municipal Elections 2008

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

Once every four years New Brunswick citizens residing in municipalities and local service districts of various sizes exercise their right to vote by choosing local leaders. These leaders enact zoning bylaws, set rates for property taxes and enact local legislation, all of which affect property owners. Of course there are often other issues, but municipal spending is the one that impacts property owners directly.

In our general area about 65% of all households own the property in which they live. So what would one expect to be a reasonable percentage of eligible voters who took the time to vote? It varies widely, as you can see below.
