Stimulate Home Sales Activity Further declines in mortgage mortgage rates during December continued to bring purchasers of resale homes to the marketplace, marketplace, according to the latest Royal LePage Mortgage Market Bulletin. However, Royal LePage points out that activity traditionally traditionally is slow at this time of the year. The Christmas season usually brings with it a decline in sales as families turn to more traditional activities, notes Don Hewitt, residential mortgage spokesman for Royal LePage. "In spite of this, the first half of December was quite active and we are seeing increased interest as we enter the new year." A period of interest rate stability is what purchasers are looking for now, says Hewitt. "Many potential purchasers remain at the sidelines waiting waiting to see if mortgage rates will decline further. "We are expecting present mortgage rate levels to remain steady for the next few weeks. However, this of course depends on the situation in the United States and how the Federal Reserve Board responds to economic changes in that country." Five-year mortgage terms, after declining six consecutive months, now generally stand at 12 1 /- percent, exactly where they stood one year ago. The Canadian Mortgage Market Bulletin is based on information from Royal LePage's residential and commercial managers across the country who are in daily contact with the Canadian money market.

Painting Funds Réintroduction of Turkeys "Ontario Homecoming" is the title of the original painting painting commissioned by the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters to commemorate the réintroduction of wild turkeys to the province.
