Jaco, Costa Rica ¨C 8/13/08 ¨C More and more people are taking fitness into consideration when choosing their vacation destinations and the industry is responding to their wishes. The Sonesta Jaco Resort in beautiful Costa Rica provides a good example of a resort being built with fitness in mind.

The jaco beach hotel incorporates fitness equipment, pools, and healthy eating options into the resort design. The commitment to fitness is also evident from the resort¡¯s location: Jaco Beach.

Jaco Beach has been a popular surfing spot for decades. The surf is regular, predictable, and manageable for the neophyte, yet challenging enough for the expert. Swimmers will enjoy Jaco as well, as the sheltering effect of Jaco Bay prevents wild currents or excessive riptides. The gentle slope of the beach makes it safe for young children to participate in watersports. Rentals are available for any watersport equipment you may need.

For those who prefer to pursue fitness on dry land, nature trails provide low-impact exercise with great views of Costa Rica¡¯s natural beauty. Hiking trails provide a better workout with access to the same fantastic scenery, and mountain biking trails are available with ratings from novice to expert. Inexpensive bicycle rentals are available to those wishing to take on the trails, or just cruise around town.

Even those who aren¡¯t dedicated athletes will find themselves interested in walking ¡®just a bit further¡¯ down the beach, enjoying the fresh air of a crisp ocean breeze. Another way to get in some painless exercise is to have a stroll through Jaco¡¯s many shops, particularly those selling arts and crafts.

Outside of Jaco proper are a great golf-course, other world-class beaches, and virtually any sporting activity one can think of.

The fresh sea-breeze, abundant sunshine, and many available activities make the Sonesta Jaco Resort the perfect place to plan an active, fitness-minded vacation around any time of year. Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to return from vacation relaxed and energized?

The jaco beach resort will have it¡¯s grand opening in January 2009, when it will open it¡¯s doors to fitness lovers from around the world. Learn more about the Sonesta Jaco Resort at www.SonestaJaco.com.

Toronto Real Estate Board Reports:
Greater Toronto Home Resales at 1,500 in Mid December ¡ª down 50%.

Greater Toronto Realtors reported 1,487 resale transactions during the first half of December, down from 2,868 sales recorded in the same period a year ago, the Toronto Real Estate Agent Board President Maureen O'Neill announced today.

The average price of a home in the Greater Toronto Area is currently $360,652. This compares to an average of $404,707 recorded during the first half of December 2007 and to an average of $343,048 recorded during the same period in 2006.

"Keeping today's market statistics in perspective, MLS® statistics confirm that over the last 10 years the price of homes has increased in value. What this means for the consumer is that real estate continues to hold its value and is a solid choice for long-term investments," said Ms. O'Neill.

In the 416 area, 619 transactions were recorded during the first half of this month, from 1,402 sales that took place during the same timeframe a year ago.

The average price in the 416 area is currently $382,759, from an average of $450,731 a year ago, and $367,650 recorded in the first half of December 2006.

In the 905 region 868 homes changed hands in the first two weeks of this month, from 1,466 transactions that took place in the first half of December 2007.

The 905 region's current average price is $344,887 from an average of $360,691 recorded during the same timeframe a year ago and $325,477 recorded at mid-December 2006.

"The recent C.D. Howe land transfer tax study confirms Realtors concerns that the second LTT imposed on homebuyers in the City of Toronto has indeed contributed to the economic conditions in the GTA," added Ms. O'Neill.

There are currently 24,708 listings on the TorontoMLS system, from 17,027 a year ago. The average number of days a home now remains on the market is 43, as compared to 33 days a year ago. Sellers are achieving 96 per cent of their listing price, as compared to 98 per cent a year ago.

"Location, price and your own personal financial and family situation all play an important role when considering a purchase," said Ms. O'Neill. "Realtors can provide you with information about neighbourhoods, school districts and realistic pricing because of their vast knowledge of the local community."

This mid month release does not provide a year in review analysis. A summary of activity for all of 2008 including the month of December will be provided in the January 2009 Market Watch Report.]]> http://www.thermotechboilers.com/index.php?entry=entry081219-160051 No Author Fri, 19 Dec 2008 21:00:51 GMT http://www.thermotechboilers.com/comments.php?y=08&m=12&entry=entry081219-160051 http://www.thermotechboilers.com/index.php?entry=entry081217-162845
