Hi 

Well we are half way through the year with a slow start to our market place but we are now experiencing one of our most active winters in a long time.  We are experiencing higher than normal buyer enquiry therefore selling our limited supply of homes well (Due to sellers not believing winter is a good time to sell)

The market has improved between 3-5% and we are expecting to finish the year with more gains, this is due to low interest rates, confidence in the employment sector and the activity created by the buy back scheme

Stay warm and chat to you in August when I am another year older and perhaps wiser?

Health and Fitness

Positive or Negative – the choice is yours!

Life presents us with choices every day – get up or stay in bed? Train or don’t train? Eat clean or get take away?

These are all very simple examples – obviously we also deal with much more complex decisions and choices each and every day.

When we approach and view an issue, we have a choice with how we look at it – we can choose to look at things in a positive light, or we can take a negative slant on things.

These days, we almost subconsciously view things with a negative viewpoint. We are constantly bombarded with.....
