Are you starting to think about changing your environment? Do you have aging parents who have been talking about selling the family home because it is too much for them to care for? Perhaps they are considering moving to an apartment, a Condominium or an assisted living facility. This is often an emotional time for many.

Age & Opportunity Manitoba is putting on a Seniors Housing and Lifestyles Expo on Friday May 4th, 2012. The event is being held at the Victoria Inn, 1808 Wellington Ave in Winnipeg from 10am until 3pm. In years past there was a charge to attend this event, however this year Age & Opportunity is proud to offer free admission.

The program for the day includes a trade show, and free hearing tests. There are 6 sessions throughout the day:

1) Dr Richard Milgrom "Location, location, location, Housing Older Adults in Communities'

2) Susan Everton "Mature Driver Info Session"

3) Understanding Hoarding (part 1)

4) Nancy Folliott "There is no place like Home"

5) Understanding Hoarding (part 2)

6) Silvia Visintin "Facing Challenges - Today's Rental Market"

In between the sessions there will be greetings from Minister Rondeau; a comedian - Ruth Wiebe; and Belly Dancers of West End Center.

I am very excited to be taking part in this event for the first time! If you or someone you know is attending the event please feel free to stop by my display booth and enter to win our draw!

In 2002 WinnipegREALTORSreached $1 billion in real estate sales. In 2007 it reached $2 billion. In 2011 it has now reached $3 billion in Mls Sales. In 2007 the number of sales it took to reach $2 billion is roughly the same number of sales to reach $3 billion.

What does 2011 WinnipegREALTORS president Ralph Fyfe have to say about the new milestone for Winnipeg? "Winnipeggers feel like the have arrived. Our city is back on the map as a place to be in Canada. There is so much excitement around being in the NHL again, our new airport, IKEA, a Canadian Museum for Human Rights and the like. As a result, more people are moving here than ever before and that is translating into all this new development and sales activity in our city with increased value attached to it." said Fyfe.

"As an investment, real estate in Winnipeg is a relative haven of stability compared to other alternatives." said Fyfe. He added, "Let's not forget the vast majority of our MLS sales still remain lifestyle-driven and far from speculative in nature," added Fyfe.

Immigration continues to be huge driving force in our local market.
