I was thinking today how lucky we are to live in Victoria. The temperature is mild with the sun popping out every so often and the birds are singing! Compare this with most other areas of Canada and the Northern United States where there is still snow on the ground and below zero temperatures. Even the economy is not as bad as some other areas.

The fact that we have a Naval Base and are the capital city of British Columbia helps dramatically with our economy. Commercial building vacancy space is very low and has encouraged the development of new construction in the Greater Victoria area.

So, even though property sales are quite slow and there is doom and gloom every day on the news, we must not loose site of the fact that we are living in the best place in the world!
