Welcome to our November 2013 e-Newsletter!
Winter is (un)officially here. With temperatures below zero, getting away to a tropical paradise is especially attractive. If you're looking for a place that doesn't see snow (or just want to dream), check out the article below in the Globe.
You also may be interested to learn that some home renos are tax deductions - if they're for health reasons. Scroll down for more on that, the upcoming Food & Wine Expo, proposed changes to the Condo act and 8 listings!
As always, I thank you for your past and future business and any referrals you may have are greatly appreciated.

Want a tropical paradise? Here are five hot property markets
|
Buried treasure can be found in the Caribbean, and you don't need a pirate ship to find it. The treasure comes in the form of affordable real estate in five sub-tropical markets primed for growth. These areas are all poised to experience an economic boom in 2013 and beyond, and that has put wind in the sails of North American baby boomers. Each market has an inventory of move-in-ready properties that are suitable for retirement and investment purposes. They are also relatively inexpensive.
