Today I read an interesting article describing changes that are soon to occur on Facebook. Looks like we will be able to "like" various web pages-outside of Facebook. This brings up some interesting issues re: privacy. According to the article if I was to be reading something about Real Estate on the Web, I could "like" it. Then others would see that I "liked" it with my picture and I guess the thumb's up sign that they currently use. Certainly, we have to consider whether we want EVERYONE in the world knowing what we like and dislike. I believe that there will be new privacy settings. I might have been skeptical about the validity of these changes, but the article I read was on cnn.com - a pretty reputable source. To read the article yourself, click here.
Until next time,

Catching up...
It has been a long while since I have last posted. VERY busy spring in terms of work and life in general. I suppose kids keep you busy! Went to Orlando the end of the month for my daughter's cheer leading competition - they won 1st in their division so it was very exciting! While away, another listing of mine sold within a week of being listed. Very excited for D and J! Once I returned, I had purchasers who bought and others who are considering putting an offer in. At the same time, I am busy recruiting another REALTOR® to join Terri (my client care manager) and myself. This way, when someone is away there will be total continuity for my clients.
At any rate, you are probably saying "enough about Jamie, what is happening in the market?" Well, I just came across a very interesting article about Mortgages. The banks have begun to raise the rates a bit, so the article discusses some of the impact. To read the article, click here.
In terms of the Barrie market... According to the Barrie and District Real Estate Board, this past March has been the BEST March on record. There were 50% more sales as compared to last March and there was the largest "month over month" increase in the past 10 yrs! The avg sale price of a home in Barrie reached just over $274,000 for the first quarter which is 8% higher than the same period last year. To read the full article, click here.
Think I've written enough for one day. Hope to keep in touch sooner!
Until next time! Jamie
