For more information on our award, please Click Here         Homeopathic Cold and Flu Prevention by Dr. Ray Lendvai our KurSpa Naturopathic Physician Fall has arrived and the colder weather means cold and flu season is not far away. This is the time of year that the flu shot is heavily promoted. Many people including some health care professionals question the effectiveness of the regular flu vaccination and an increasing number of people object to being injected with this viral cocktail especially when many health care workers are refusing to take it. The purpose of this article is to inform people that there is a safe and effective homeopathic alternative to the regular flu shot. The homeopathic flu prevention program consists of an injectable antiviral homeopathic medicine followed by 2 oral medicines taken once a week for 5 weeks. The homeopathic flu prevention program is designed for people who are not able to take the regular flu vaccination due to allergies or are looking for a more natural alternative. The homeopathic flu preparation is administered by injection or can be given orally for children and others that are averse to needles. Once the homeopathic antiviral medicine is given it activates the immune system and provides protection against cold and flu viruses usually for the duration of the season. Additional suggestions to prevent colds and flu: Take a good quality multivitamin/mineral daily. Take extra vitamin C, I usually recommend 1000mg/day. Take a daily dose of garlic, if you do not like the thought of eating fresh garlic, I recommend a product called Garlitrin. Take 1 tablet/day during the fall and winter. Drink fresh ginger root tea regularly in the fall and winter. To prepare ginger tea use peeled fresh ginger root grate 1 teaspoon of the root per cup of water and boil the root for ten minutes. You can drink 1-3 cups per day. Ginger is also an excellent circulatory and digestive tonic. Keep well and enjoy the winter season, Dr. Ray Lendvai   New Year’s Eve at Sparkling Hill Resort Make this New Year’s Eve one to remember by celebrating with us at Sparkling Hill Resort.

Shuswap and North Okanagan Home Sales Slow.

November 25, 2012

This week I got together with some local Realtors here in Mexico and was introduced to a Resort Development property nearby where I am statying. More on that in another upcoming post.

Meanwhile - back at home:

A slight decline in transactions reported this week 90 compared to 93 transactions last week. and yet the average sale price was up to $412,562 from$361,679 . This is a result of an increase in sales in the Central Okanagan, and a decrease in other, traditionally less expensive properties in the areas of the North Okanagan and Shuswap sectors. - making Central Okanagan a larger percentage of overall properties sold regionally.

 

Okanagan Shuswap Residential MLS Properties Sold (90) Nov. 19 - 25
List Price	Sold Price	DOM	Beds	Total Baths	Finished Floor Area
Min	$30,000	$23,000	12	1
Max	$4,750,000	$3,950,000	977	6	9	5468
Avg	$444,690	$412,562	154	3	3	1880
Sum	$40,022,075	$37,130,616

 

 Compared to:

 

Okanagan Shuswap Residential MLS Properties Sold (93) Nov. 12-18, 12
		List Price	Sold Price	DOM	Beds	Total Baths	Finished Floor Area
	Min	$17,500	$15,000	14	1	1
	Max	$995,000	$935,000	912	5	5	4450
	Avg	$378,303	$361,679	130	3	2	1857
	Sum	$35,182,150	$33,636,139

 

 

Properties reported as sold were comprised of the following types:

Land: - Lots and Acreages 7 sold, up from 6 sold, 

Manufactured Homes: - 6 sold, up from 2 sold,  

Recreational: - 0 sold

Single Family Homes:- 50 sold, down from64 sold, 

Apartments:-  16 sold, up from 10 sold, 

Townhomes:- 11 sold, unchanged 

 Look at WHAT sold in order to determine what is really going on in the 3 zones of Okanagan Shuswap Real Estate.

In the Central Okanagan the results bucked the regional downward trend, with 65 sales reported compared to 56 the week prior. Average sale price came in at $472,284 ( more than $200,000 above the average in the North Okanagan and Shuswap regions. Home sales numbers were unchaged at 38 single family dwellings - but the number of Apartments, Land and Manufactured homes sold doubled from the week prior. Total sales volume rose from$22,578639 to $30,698,455

In the North Okanagan, Vernon BC Real Estate Area reported sales volume dropped this week to 16 from 24 last week, and the average sale price reported plummeted to $260,416! The biggest reason for this was the drop in the percentage of single family homes in the mix (almost 2/3 rds less than last week. Total sales value dropped to $4,166,661 from $7,585,000.

Total sales in the Shuswap Revelstoke real estate zone dropped from 13 reported the week prior to 9 this week. Single family homes were the most impacted sector, with 30% fewer sales reported. Average sale price this week came in at $251,722 down from $267,115.

We have reports available on all the properties sold. Contact us for more details.

All data from the OMBREB Database. Totals include variables in any given due to previous month’s collapsed sales and deleted listings. e & eo
