New Glasgow, Pictou and environs have the best restaurants on the North Shore. NG has the feel of Richmond-upon-Thames with a river about the same size running through it. It is a town of great future potential with it's coasts, Pictou Landing, Little Harbour and Kings Head attracting big spenders.

I know the owners of the River John house. They owned an Art Store in Tatamagouche and are moving to Halifax as X is an actor and is the baddie in the latest Tom Selleck movie. They bought the house because it is full of original architecture and were in the process of renovating.

Oh, I see the GBP's plummetted to 2.03 higher at the moment than the monthly averages back to October 2007.

Isn't "New Glasgow, Pictou and environs" the definition of the North Shore?

Why would you compare daily rates to monthly averages?

The exchange was 2.06 on Oct. 18th 2008, 2.05 on August 8th, 2.04 on July 28th, March 20th, 25th, 26th & 27th. Hard to see the evidence for 2.27 within two weeks.

Actually, the pound to C$ rate is pretty random in the first place, given the negligible mutual dependency of the two economies. It's the US$ which is making a move against everything except the yen at the moment. Don't ask me why though, I suppose cneldred might know, (or think he does).

Not quite the 2.27 that you predicted then

Thanks for feeling for me, I feel for you too, let's get married.

You have $30m + inventory in Six months - sorry thats a little hard to believe for a new agent ..that would equate to commission income potential of over $600k even at 2% of listing which would make you one of the top individual agents in the GTA if you were doing business here. Can you prove it by providing MLS numbers so we can see your listings - might even generate a buyer for you

How about a list of completed sales?

Every post of yours is advertising......it doesn't work though as you come across as an untrustworthy <<insert word of choice>>.....

How come his website gives prices in C$, US$ and £?

Why, I wonder, would a Canadian realtor advertise prices in pounds?

Still a far cry from $2.27. Also depends what market you look at. The cheque rate (what you get) and the interbank rate are totally different. Right now (10.30) you'd be hard pressed to get more than $1.98.
