As I write this post on the last weekend of summer, the signs of of my favourite New Brunswick season are abundant. The leaves on the maples have started to turn, the Canada geese are starting to gather in larger flocks, the last crop of hay will soon be cut followed by the harvesting of the cow corn. Fresh catches from the sea (crab, lobster, mackerel, scallops) are widely available, and the farmer's markets are loaded with local products.
Autumn in New Brunsick is a delight to one's sense of nature in a changing season. In Autumn you will experience some warm, sunny days and some frosty nights. Even some white precipitation in late Autumn.
This is the Season You'll Fall for New Brunswick! Gotta love it.
In New Brunswick, Canada you can live the rural lifestyle and still be less than a half hour drive from an urban area. I help buyers find rural properties that fit their needs. And I maintain a website devoted exclusively to rural properties for sale in New Brunswick, Canada - www.rural4sale.com
Buyers will find properties for sale in all price ranges like this secluded bungalow overlooking a brook and comes with 63 acres of wooded land. Find more pictures and video on www.rural4sale.com
From my perspective it's looking like this year could be a late blooming summer for residential real estate sales in the metro Moncton area. The sales to listings ratio for July was over 70% in the metro area. There are some good deals to be had by savvy home-buyers who have their own agent representing them. I represented four buyer clients in making smart buys in July.
Today I composed my Canada Day Metro Moncton Real Estate Market Report, hung out the flag, did a little weeding in my front perennial patch, and made appointments to show a couple of houses tomorrow.
Now a lot of people in the greater Moncton area are hoping the clouds that have blocked the sun all day won't release any rain tonight to spoil the fireworks . The highlight of my Canada Day will be going to an outdoor performance by a local rock 'n' rolk group at 7:30 this evening- The GTO Band . Video to follow.
RAIN, RAIN , STAY AWAY
