Financial Post · Wednesday, Jun. 30, 2010

OTTAWA — Home prices in some of Canada’s biggest cities rose 0.8% in April, according the latest Teranet-National Bank house-price index released Wednesday.

That followed a 0.3% rise for March, and marked the 12th straight month that prices have risen.

“At the national level, April continues the best string of consecutive monthly price increases since September 2006,” Marc Pinsonneault, economist with National Bank Financial, wrote in a report. “Home prices are now 2.9% above their recession peak, a situation that contrasts with the one prevailing in the U.S., where prices are down 30% from their peak.”

The index takes into account price trends in six urban areas. Prices in Halifax were up 1.9% for the month, Montreal and Ottawa home prices were ahead 1.1%, Toronto was up 0.6%, and Calgary and Vancouver were both ahead 0.8%.

It marked the first time in five months all local areas saw monthly gains. Calgary, however, remains the only area among the six still short of its pre-recession high, which it achieved in August 2007.

For the year, the national composite home price index was up 12.9%.

At our Oakville Networking meeting a few weeks ago there was mention of a very interesting short video that has some amazing statistics about our ever changing world. If you go to this page on my website you will see 2 of them. I highly recommend checking them out, only a couple minutes but well worth it. I believe the original version done a few years ago is called “shift happens” and also goes by “did you know”. You can also find other versions if you search on YouTube, but be careful because there are a few that aren’t accurate. These 2 are my current favorite version.

The next Essential Message Teleseminar - Wednesday, March 25th, 2010 - 3 pm EST

As I have mentioned Michel Neray of The Essential Message before, many of you probably already know that he is my business coach. I love attending his teleseminars because I always pick up a nugget I can use.

As an affiliate member of The Essential Message, I would like to invite you to join me for the next teleseminar,
Coaching The Corner Office – Increase your fees 500% by helping Fortune 500 Executives Keep Their Job.

Michel will be speaking with Marie Guthrie, Founder of Career & Life Tracks Coaching and I am interested to find out how she was able to increase her fees 500%!

Sign up before March 17th for the Early Bird rate $17.77

Before 2009, Marie Guthrie earned a decent living from a combination of corporate consulting, leadership & team coaching, and private executive clients in career crisis. Like most coaches, all of her business came from referrals of highly satisfied clients.  But with more coaches entering the market, she found that even corporate paid work was becoming commoditized.

Marie has over 20 years experience as a senior executive in the very exclusive world of the Fortune 50. (That’s not a typo!) She is an innovative business leader, professional coach and productivity consultant known for building employee capabilities needed to achieve personal and business goals. 

Please join me, Cheryl Scoffield, Executive Sales Support, for this Essential Message teleseminar on March 25th.
