21st Anniversary Wolle Christmas Classic
Food Bank Drive

(In support of The Food Bank of Waterloo Region)

 Saturday, December 6th, 2014

Royal LePage Wolle Realty invites you to share the spirit of the holidays by participating in our Christmas Food Bank Classic.  We will be sending invitations out soon for tickets, but for now we are reaching out for donations.

This year is the 21st anniversary of our event and we would like to make it our best year ever!

Once again, this year’s Christmas Food Bank Classic will collect FOOD and CASH donations for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.  In the past 20 years, we have collected over 20,000 pounds of food and raised $83,000 for The Food Bank. Our utmost gratitude goes out to all our sponsors for their continued support.

Sadly, not everyone will be able to enjoy the holidays, as most of us will.  Each year, more than 85,000 emergency food hampers are distributed throughout Waterloo Region.  Approximately 46% of food hamper recipients are single parent and two-parent families.  About 15% of households have a part-time or full-time job.  24% are receiving Ontario Disability Support.  37% are children under the age of 18.  Putting food on the table will be just one of the many challenges they face not just during the holiday, but every day.

On December 6th we will collect food donations in lieu of admission for a private cinematic movie screening for our clients and their families which will feature a very special visit from Santa Claus, face painters and goodie bags for the kids.

But we would like to do better! That is why we NEED your help. Your corporate donation will help us make an even better difference!

Please join us in helping The Food Bank by making a generous donation of food or cash. A donation of $100 will provide 300 meals.  Donations can be made in person  at our office, mailed to our office at the address below or  below to donate online (please mark a special occasion  as Wolle Christmas Classic)   Please make your cheque payable to The Food Bank of Waterloo Region.  A tax receipt will be issued by The Food Bank for your generous donation. We will recognize all corporate donors on the day of the event and in local publications.  Donations will be accepted up to December 5th.

Our wish is for everyone to have a happy holiday!

At this special time of year, we would like to thank you for joining us in making a difference.

There were are total of 478 home sales through the Multiple Listing System (MLS®) of the Kitchener-Waterloo Association of REALTORS® (KWAR) in September compared to 448 during the same period in 2012, an increase of 6.7 percent. Year-to-date 5,132 homes were sold, which is the highest number of units sold to the end of the third quarter since 2007’s record breaking year when sales had reached 5,443 to the end of September.

Single detached homes in September sold for an average price of $354,507 an increase of 1.8 percent compared to last year. The average sale price for a condominium was $221,810 a decrease of 1.4 percent compared to September of last year. The average sale price of all residential sales through the KWAR’s MLS® System increased 2.0 percent to $314,278 compared to September 2012.

“We’re continuing to see strong residential activity in the Region,” said Dietmar Sommerfeld, President of KWAR. “This reinforces the diversity of our economy and the appeal of the Region as a place to live and work.”

Residential sales in September included 310 single detached homes (up 6.9% from last September), 46 semi-detached (up 17.9%), 33 townhomes (up 13.8%) and 83 condominium units (down 2.4%). Dollar volumes for September and year-to-date sales were both at all-time highs with increases of 9.0 percent and 8.3 percent respectively.

The average price of all residential properties sold year-to-date was $324,837 representing a 4.2 percent increase. Single Detached homes increased 3.7 percent to the end of September, bringing up the year-to-date average price to $368,002.

The KWAR cautions that average sale price information can be useful in establishing long term trends, but should not be used as an indicator that specific properties have increased or decreased in value. The average sale price is calculated based on the total dollar volume of all properties sold. Those requiring specific information on property values should contact a local REALTOR®.
