July 2012 - Ottawa trade professionals we recommend


July 2012 - Hammer Home News

As our world is becoming paperless, use trees to build our homes
 

What a month folks, I must say moving is not my favorite past time. It has been a crazy roller coaster of renovations, packing, settling and re-establishing my family and I into our new home and new life.  So far, we have yet to look back.

Fortunately, along this incredibly interesting path of moving and renovations we met some amazing professionals in their line of expertise.

In this  issue I want to present my “Preferred Professionals Program.” This list of folks are individuals I had the personal opportunity to work with and enjoy not only their professionalism and expertise but their highest regard for quality customer satisfaction.  If you choose any of these individuals, I am confident you will not be disappointed (but if you are let me know, I will call them myself ;)

Jan Bryan: Did Ottawa squeeze housing at the wrong time?
By Jan Bryan, The Gazette - July 16, 2012

Did the Harper government blunder into overstimulating a housing market that it’s now in the process of squeezing at just the wrong time?

The question springs to mind now that new numbers show Canada’s housing market showed signs of significant softness in June, with sales falling 4.4 per cent below their year-earlier level – the first such drop in a year – as the national average home price edged down by nearly one per cent.
