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

McClure of Seaforth, aunt of
the bride, honored the bride
with showers at their homes
prior to her wedding. A com-
munity shower was also held
at Auburn United Church. ,
The wedding couple, prior
to their vyedding, were also
honored by former Clinton
Junior Farmers with a
barbecue at Ball's Grove.

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.
