Is Graffiti Street Art or Pure Vandalism?

Christine Watson of Marquette Turner Luxury Homes writes: Recently one of Sydney’s Councils budgeted $536,460 for graffiti removal, believing the best way to fight graffiti is to remove it quickly.  Tougher laws are being introduced to try and reduce the amount of graffiti sweeping our suburbs.  People now found carrying pens, paint or spray cans face and $1,100 fine or three month’s jail.  On the spot fines can now be issued to retailers who sell spray paint to people under the age of 18.

Canadian Real Estate Improving

Canadian Real Estate Improving

Michael Marquette of Marquette Turner Luxury Homes writes: The Canadian property market has continued to recover well since the second quarter of 2009. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association the average price of a property sold through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) rose by 11.3%. The recovery in prices has continued throughout 2009 due to lower housing prices, lower interest rates, Government incentives and built up demand.

The Main Reasons that People Move House

The Main Reasons that People Move House

Michael Marquette of Marquette Turner Luxury Homes writes: In a recent survey RP Data looked at the main factors which caused people to decide to move between properties. There were some fascinating results which give an excellent insight into what things both buyers and renters are looking for. The main reason for moving was tenants purchasing their own home, followed by people wanting a bigger or better home. These two factors contributed to almost one third of all moves and were followed by lifestyle reasons, family reasons and employment reasons. These three factors were attributed to 36% of all moves.
