The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-08-25, Page 11Taxation of Personal Invest- ment nvestment Income - in conjune- tion with the June 28 budget. None of these programs would have had an effect on home buying in the second quarter. ' A dramatic drop in prices was not a factor in the slight purchasing spurt during the second quarter as average prices of homes sold through the Multiple Listing Service ( MLS) declined by only 1.4 .per cent from the first quarter to $74,522. "As far as prices are con- cerned, we may be at' the bottom or close to it in Many of the busier markets in Canada," Buxton, of Edmon- ton, commented. This is already evident in three provinces where an up- ward trend has', occurred. Prices climbed by an average of $4,369 in Saskat- chewan to $60,169; by $2,548 in Ontario to $74,505 and in Prince Edward Island by $2,559 to $42,908. While prices drifted down in the two most westerly pro- vinces they still had the highest average prices in L,arrada at $97,990 in Alberta and $97,371 in British Colum- bia. The most dramatic drops were in New Brunswick where prices fell by $9,034 to an average $45,838, and in neighbouring Nova Scotia where the decline was $6,105 for an average price of $51,439. Halifax retained the distine tion of having the highest priced housing in Atlantic Canada at $58,667, well below the national average. Highest average home prices were in Victoria, B:C. at $114,074. In general, the large metropolitan areas are the most expensive in which to live. Homes were purchas- ed at much lower prices than the national average in the smaller centres. If more families than formerly were encountering difficulties in meeting their mortgage payments and placing their homes on the market before being foreclosed, it was not evident from the CREA survey. In fact there were 2.4 per cent fewer homes placed on the market during the second quarter this year than in the same periodin 1982.

Real estate survey shows home purchases down Purchases of existing (resale) homes in the second quarter of this year were 18 per cent below the same quarter last year, giving fur- ther evidence of the coun- try's economic slowdown, according to a just - completed survey by The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). While purchases increased between the first and second quarters' by 4.3 per cent, CREA President Ray Bux- ton uzton noted the second quarter is usually one of accelerated home buying anyway. So is the latter pit of the third quarter. • "House purchases are still reflecting a pretty sluggish economy," he said. However, he was op- timistic there would be an upswing in the third quarter this year because of various government programs, in- cluding the $3,000 grant from the federal government; the reduced mortgage interest program of the Saskat- chewan government, bring- ing interest rates down to 13'4 per cent, and rumored proposals for a similar pro- gram in Alberta. On the horizon is the federal program to reduce mortgage interest rates na- tionally through an indexing plan announced in a White Paper - I'nflation and the Mr. and Mrs. Dave Scholl are residing at 308 Eldon Street, Goderich: a Judy Watt, Goderich, friend of the bride; Mrs. Charlotte Scholl of R.R. 3, Monkton, aunt of the groom;ro Mrs. Edna Diehl, holmesville, friend of the wedding couple; Mrs. Roxie Adams, Goderich, aunt of the bride; and Mrs. Ferne McClure of Seaforth, aunt of the bride, honored the bride with showers at their homes prior to her wedding.

CNE Agriculture grows to meetinterest What does the average city -dweller think of when somebody mentions the .CNE? CNE Agriculture of- ficials are betting that it's not their department, and that's really gotten their goat, solo speak. So for the past few years, instead of brooding behinel the midway, they've beer' doing something about it. Although • CNE Agriculture, the foundation of the Ex, is flocked annually by farmers and country - loving folk from across On- tario, it has grown out of necessity to meet the .:in- terest of Toronto's urban sector. In a sense, a mother competing with her offspring for a share of the attention. And it has been working. For example, the annual "Ferret Prod'Ex" area of the Coliseum's East Annex pro- vides a wine and beer garden and freshly prepared food by Ontario's Marketing Boards. This event alone has at- tracted thousands, to the building, which pncoinciden- tally also houses everything 'from horse and livestock shows to the "Miss CNE Pageant".• The strategy is obviously sound, since attendance in the building has been greater each year. The push continues.
