Ennismore Minor Hockey IP Experience-Brad Sinclair Flat Rate Realty

Last night was a bitter sweet night for my son. It was the last time he will be on the ice for this year's hockey season. Even though Lacrosse is right around the corner my son has fallen deeply in love with the sport of hockey.

At the beginning of the year Lucas was just starting his skating skills and still had a hard time standing up once he had fallen. The IP program started off with a skills and drills practice that took the kids and taught them the basics of skating.The men running the program were all local fathers that took their time with the kids. With my son they quickly identified a few issues with his skating and holding of the stick and corrected them.

For skills and drills the ice was usually spit into 5 sections and different skills were introduced and worked on. Above was foot work skills with soccer ball.

Skating skills

Ennismore is a busy arena so we also practiced at the Omemee Arena

The kids were split to make 4 even teams. This made the perfect league to play against each other. This was picture day practice. Lots of excited kids all in the same colour jersey.

By the end of the year you could not believe how quickly these kids were skating end to end, shooting and playing goal. It was truly exciting and amazing. All the credit goes to the coaches and players.

We had just a time and I would like to thank the coaches, coordinators and executive for providing such a great experience for my child.

Peterborough and Area Real Estate Market Update March 2017-What You need to know. Brad Sinclair Flat Rate Realty

Peterborough and Area Real Estate Market Update March 2017-What You need to know.

I am coming to the realization that this market we experienced in 2016 is going to continue into 2017 according to the market indicators that I can study. Sellers are going to enjoy the quick sales with record values and Buyers are going to loose out on homes they are desperately trying to buy. I will go on the record right now that this is not an enjoyable time for any Realtor especially if they are dominantly a Buyers Agent.

In February our listing numbers were down again even from 2015. We had 255 listings compared to 366 in 2016 and 386 in 2015. March will be the real tell tale of what we will see for 2017. Anything less than 575 listings is going to be a disaster for Buyers.

Units sold are down from 2016 and up from 2015. I believe the only reason for the lower number of units sold it there was no inventory to sell. 

There was 47 expired listing on the market. Keep in mind the numbers shown includes Residential, multifamily, vacant property and commercial. Most of the 47 listings fall in the commercial side.

I have a 2 min video reviewing some of the crazy prices people are paying for houses. It is interesting watch.
