The Year Of The Dragon

The Year of the Dragon - the most powerful Chinese Zodiac sign - starts on Sunday.  Millions of families will come together to feast and celebrate as the dragon breathes life into the New Year.

It's the Year of The Water Dragon - the mystical creature that stirs excitement for it's strength, luck, intensity and vitality.  It's also a sign of authority.

Not only is it called Chinese New Year, it is also called the Lunar New Year or Spring Festival and is celebrated by Asian populations worldwide.

It is a 15-day marathon of spending time with the family, of feasting and of giving thanks.  There are different customs but most families will gather on New Year's Eve to clean the house, feast on dumplings, and set off fireworks to usher in the New Moon.  The homes are cleaned and decorated with blossoming flowers that symbolize new life, and tangerines and candy trays that bring good fortune and happiness in the year to come.

Gung Hay Fat Choy to all!!!  It's going to be a great festival and if you get a chance, please join in and see what it's all about.  The Toronto Harbourfront Centre, Scarborough Civic Centre, Chinese Cultural Centre in Scarborough...there's so much and a lot of it is free.

After doing some searching, here are some DO's and DON'Ts:
-DO clean your house before New Year's Eve to rid of the previous year's bad luck
-DON'T sweep your house on New Year's Day (you could be sweeping away good fortune)
- DON'T wash your hair on New Year's Day
- DO wear reds and yellows (colours of good fortune)
-DON'T curse
- DON'T use scissors or knives on New Year's Day (this could cut off good fortune)
- DO settle your debts before the new year
- DO eat whole fish (abundance), chicken (prosperity), and dumplings (health and fortune)
- DON'T cut noodles
- DON'T cry on New Year's Day.

Well, enjoy and have a wonder celebration !!!

My First Raptor Game of The Season

Well, I finally went to my first Raptor game the other night. I took a few hours off and my hubby and I went on a date!! I knew what I was getting into as the Toronto Raptors do not have a great record this year, and most nay-sayers are predicting even a worse season than when they started.

I was more disappointed with the condition of the centre. Hubby is very fortunate to score a couple of seats at least to one game a season. (In previous years, one of the kids went with him). I remember going and the place at least looked clean. I looked at the condition of the seats and they are well worn and torn. There was garbage on the floors - peanut shells, empty cups, etc. I was under the assumption that this place got, at the very least, swept after every game. I guess when you assume.... The number of fans was not great. Taking a walk at half time used to be a chore. But, you would bump into people you don't see very often. Most are fans of the game, as we are. This time, however, we walked freely. There were NO lines for beer drinkers (I don't think it's because there were no drinkers there).

The Raptors lost :( That's okay. We did enjoy a lively attempt at a comeback in the fourth quarter. We left with about 45 seconds remaining in the game. We didn't want to fight the 'BIG' crowds leaving.

I'm looking forward to the next game.

Bank of Canada Says...

The last couple of days I've been getting a lot of updates about the slowdown of the housing market and interest rates. I read the Toronto Star every morning and I have done so for years. My my hubbie got me into it. Guess what I saw, big headlines about "NO BUBBLE BREWING" by Tony Wong. The article goes on to explain why - Canadians have binged on low interest rates, pushing up prices to levels that are now moderately overvalued. Average housing prices are about 11% overvalued, but the market is not experiencing a bubble and is unlikely to suffer a US style collapse. After doubling in the past decade, prices are now adjusting lower in response to less demand and higher household debt."

I was very glad to hear this. I have been seeing extremely low inventory numbers in the past few weeks. My buyers are asking about listings. Some sell quickly, some sit on the market for a longer period of time.

Now, I would like to share Kristian Harris' article from the Globe and Mail. Also very interesting. Enjoy the read:

Carney Remains Positive About Housing

Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney is still concerned that home prices could
drop more sharply than expected and exacerbate the growing debt burden of many
households –but he doesn’t see it as very likely.

Speaking to the House of Commons finance committee Tuesday, Mr. Carney said the
slowdown in housing is unfolding as the central bank expected it would, given the
tighter mortgage rules brought in by the Finance Department earlier this year and the
fact more Canadians are retrenching after spending and borrowing with abandon amid
record-low interest rates.

Still, he warned, a quicker, less measured drop is a possibility. Should that happen, it would almost certainly mean Canada would see slower economic growth than Mr. Carney’s latest forecasts, which included downgrades for five consecutive quarters.

“One of the important downside risks to our projection is the possibility that there is a more abrupt correction in the housing market than we’re anticipating,” Mr. Carney told lawmakers at the panel hearing in Ottawa. “We’re not forecasting an abrupt correction, but it is a possibility, given two factors: the speed with which house prices rose and, secondly, the absolute weight of debt in the economy that is tied to housing.”

The Bank of Canada’s benchmark interest rate could remain at the current 1 per cent
for several months, as policy makers wait for the crucial U.S. economy to start
improving before raising borrowing costs on this side of the border.

Raising Canadian rates while the U.S. Federal Reserve is still on hold could send
investors who want higher yields to currencies like the loonie, making life harder for exporters.

Mr. Carney told the parliamentary panel that if sudden moves in Canada’s exchange
rate with the U.S. dollar or ``persistent strength’ ’in the loonie got to the point that they posed a serious risk to the economy, he and the federal government ``maintain considerable options’ ’to get the situation under control ``if that is necessary.”
