PropertySold.ca Website Receives Over 2.5 Million Visitors in 2009

  February 2, 2010 – 7:27 pm

A word about website statistics. Be wary of any website that advertises "hits". Hits are not visitors. If one webpage is loaded this can literally generate 100's of hits. The true measure of how many people have visited a website is the "Unique Visitors" count. Websites that advertise their hit count instead of their visitor count should be avoided. We proudly present our 2009 traffic statistics showing us with a Google Analytics validated 2.58 million visitors for 2009. With our move to new faster servers and our upgrade plans for the main website we look forward to serving you even better in 2010.

Real Estate Activity is picking up Canadawide

  February 2, 2010 – 2:09 pm

We have had a fast correction in real estate in Canada. No evidence that we are going to have the collapse currently going on in the United States. Canada is currently running at record low interest rates so everyone needs to pay attention to interest rate announcements before contemplating a new home purchase. Happy house hunting in 2010.

How to get the lowest possible interest rate on your mortgage.

  June 27, 2009 – 11:54 pm

In the wake of the global financial crisis, Canada’s government has slashed interest rates to historical lows in an effort to stimulate the local economy and keep Canadians borrowing. This has created nearly ideal conditions for homeowners and new homebuyers to secure excellent rates on their mortgages. Currently, the Bank of Canada has set its prime rate at .25 percent, or a quarter of a basis point, and says it will keep it there (barring unforeseen complications with inflation) through to next year. This puts the bank prime rate at 2.25 per cent, the lowest ever seen. While the days of offering mortgage rates below prime are clearly over, banks are still offering some extremely good deals on variable and short-term rates.
