New Years Eve Pick – The Lodges at Deer Valley Condo is Offered for a Steal!

Dec 30, 2012 — Scott Maizlish, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

As New Years Eve kicks off, I wanted to let you in on a deal I just came across. The owner of this Lodges at Deer Valley condominium is looking for an offer and may be ready to negotiate on the 2 bedroom, 3 bath unit’s list price of $599,000. A gorgeous unit located on ground level, this condo allows easy access to Park City’s free shuttle system and Lower Deer Valley’s ski lifts. That said, with a private hallway connecting the unit to the lobby, it flows like a single family home and offers a secluded feel.

Hogmanay is upon us...Happy New Year!

Dec 29, 2012 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Did the Scots invent New Year's Eve? Well, I'm sure not. It is true, though, that Hogmanay, the Celtic tradition in Scotland, has had a wide-ranging impact.   Don't we all sing or hum Auld Lang Syne. on New Year's Eve? Christmas traditions are kept, of course, but the premier feast/family get-together, for a Scot, is definitely New Year's Eve. It's a time of remembering and also a time of looking forward. The guise of the old is removed (that means Christmas trees & decorations), the house is cleaned & made ready for the New Year, and food, drink, a fire in the hearth, & family & friends gathered are all in place...all together, & ready to go! Not a bad action statement. The "first foot" is an important part of the festivities. A dark man, bearing a gift for the house, should be the first person to visit after the New Year is counted in. Then, it's music, & stories, & dances, & memories, & a questing forward into the new, with enthusiasm...didn't the Scottish bard, Robert Burns, say it best with his poem, Auld Lang Syne? Yes...light & action...dancing forward, with memory as a partner. Sounds like an event to me.... New Year's Eve awaits.

Prime time to buy real estate? I think so!

Dec 28, 2012 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Here we are, in that holiday moment between Christmas & New Year's. This is one of those archetypal moments between a down & an up market trend. The societal shifts delivered by the Internet revolution are well underway. The low interest rates, the genuinely good land opportunities with motivated sellers of same, the protected investment aspect of a purchase on a Gulf Island (call me for details), and the desire for protected investment/safe haven options...these elements all conspire to make this the optimum moment to be a buyer in our kind of area. More info? Call me! Salt Spring Island & the Gulf Islands offer an opportunity to enjoy a yesteryear lifestyle on the doorstep of major cityscapes. The best of all worlds? I think so. To discover what this means for you, & how to optimize your decisions, please contact me. It's important to me that you do well. Look forward to your call.liread33@gmail.com Thank you!

Stellar oceanview home, on Salt Spring Island!

Dec 28, 2012 — Liane ("Li") Read, Sea to Sky Real Estate

Almost 7 acres of sunny privacy, with amazing panoramic views, dramatic executive home...a WOW! Superb new home, on 6+ acres, in an area of fine homes, and with a soaring panoramic vista. Ocean, islands, mountain viewscapes and excellent all day/year round sun exposure (sunrises and sunsets, here!). Close to both Ganges and Fulford Villages, and to lakes, to beach accesses, and to park hiking/walking trails, and to golf, marinas, all services, and yet in its own wonderfully serene and private environment. Custom designed and construction by one of Salt Spring's premier builders, the attention to detail here, and the fineness of the finishes, are superlative. Master bed sitting room, with expansive decking off (hot tub with a view!), a dream ensuite (this shower is exceptional), and large walk in closet, is in its own private "wing".

This year we wanted to render homage to the foundations that work in our surroundings. We feel that they are currently playing an essential role in our society, deploying the efforts of large numbers of anonymous people to make up for the role that was formerly played by the Government. We are sure that without their contribution this society of ours would be even more polarised, and would be unable to provide a response to such pressing needs and requirements.

Christmas traditions...same message: peace & joy.
