Local Real Estate Agent Supports the Mayors Christmas Appeal
It’s definitely an age thing…. you know…. as you get older the years just seem to fly and here we are again at the Christmas end of the year. Remember when you were sixteen and waiting to turn seventeen to get your drivers license?? It seemed like a five year wait the time went so slow. Not any more unfortunately.
The last 12 months in real estate on the Gold Coast has been challenging again and it will be great when we can finally shake this market flu called the G.F.C. The Gold Coast market place is like a race horse at the starting gate on Melbourne Cup day. It just wants to get out, break free and run fast but the Global Financial Crisis is just pulling at the bridle and holding it back for another day.

Local Christmas Lights on Display
This time of the year some of our local residents decorate their homes in an amazing display of Christmas lights. The sheer effort and expense that some people go to is incredible.
The Gold Coast City Council will be operating a nightly bus tour of the Gold Coast Christmas Lights competition entrants from Thursday the 10th of December right up to Christmas eve but if you want conduct your own private tour of the local Christmas lights on offer here is a list to get you started.
This list combines entrants and winners in the 2008 and 2009 Gold Coast Christmas Lights competitions and displays we have noticed ourselves.
Check back often as we will update this list with any notable displays we find ourselves plus the local 2009 finalists when they are announced. If you know of a local Christmas Lights display worth adding to the list then let me know at glenn@nfn.com.au.
