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.

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.

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.

I'm doing another OPEN HOUSE this Sunday, March 15th, from two to four in the afternoon at 26 Firwood Crescent in Grove Hamlet subdivision. If you're in the market for a four upstairs bedrooms home and $184,900 is in your price range then you owe it to yourself to visit this property. This is a sale of an already foreclosed property by the mortgage insurer and could very well be great buy for you. Find more details or take a 360 degree virtual tour on the web at http://26Firwood.info.

Stop in for a visit or to just talk real estate.
