I am a huge fan of saving money and the environment. I've come up with a few simple steps you can take to save energy around the home.

1. Decide what you're taking from the fridge before you open it, try not to leave the door open any longer than you have to.
2. Defrost meat and other items in your fridge, not on the counter. The frozen item will absorb the warmth in the fridge and keep the fridge from working harder to keep things cool.
   
3. Let food cool before you place it in the fridge or freezer. The fridge has to work hard to take away the heat, and will use more energy.
4. Use cold water when possible (when cleaning purhcase a green cleaner that can be used with cold or luke warm water).
5. Use caulking around windows to stop drafts. You can also use heavy blinds to create a warm layer of air between the window.
6. Purchase a digital thermostat. Program it to turn down the temperature a few degrees at night and an extra few temperatures in the rooms you don't use at night. You can also program them to start turning up the heat a half hour before you get up.
7. Wear a sweater when its cool, or have a nice warm cup of hot chocolate (or a Peppermint Soy Latte at Starbucks).
8. When purchasing appliances, ask your sales associate for energy efficient products.
9. Replace light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs, and turn off lights that you aren't using.
10. When upgrading your hot water heater, purchase an instant hot water heater. This will fire on to produce hot water, but doesn't store a tank of hot water 24/7.
11. Talk to your local hydro company to see what kinds of programs may be available to help you make your home more energy efficient. In New Brunswick visit www.efficiencynb.ca.

The key thing here is top of mind awareness. The more you practice energy efficiency the easier it becomes! I look forward to your ideas and tips on saving energy.

The fast moving market of Saint John, New Brunswick has slowed down a bit for the last few weeks of August. Most people are trying to squeeze in as much as they can these last few weeks of summer, including back to school shopping.

The Saint John market is clearly still in a sellers market, with the low listing inventory we have right now. This has significantly lowered the average time on market, and many homes are selling as soon as they come on the market.

Due to such low inventory, it's important that buyers move quickly once they decide to make a move. It's important that they sign up to recieve listings in their email so they can get a one up on their competition. It's also extremely important that as a buyer, you have an agent that answers their phone when you call and is ready to move along with you.

I anticipate that the market will pick up this fall once kids are back in school and more listings are available.

Last but not least, 100% financing is almost gone! If you are depending on 100% financing, now is the time to make your move. If you miss the boat, please contact your mortgage specialist to find out what your options are.

If you're thinking about making a move, or need to talk to a mortgage specialist don't hesitate to contact me and I'll make sure you're in good hands, no matter where you're located.

Thanks for reading, and have a great time before fall is here.
