Winding Up 2012 Weekly Reports

December 30, 2012

 

Here it is - our last weekly report on the local real estate market for 2012. Naturally, with the holidays observed by most - the volume of sales dropped by almost 2/3's of the previous week. This slowdown will likely stabilize after next week - into a normal winter level as people get back to the reality of life in the New Year.

 Average sale price across the region was pretty stable at $343,610 compared to $347,775,  last week. With the total volume reported on only 23 sales transactions,  overall Value was down about $16 Million dollars. The Central Okanagan far outpaced the North Okanagan and Shuswap  with 18 sales, compared to 4 and 1 respectively.

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.
