A Time to Refect

The utter devastation of the hostage situation in Sydney last week was a moment when the entire country felt helpless and yet we were glued to the television to see how the entire scenario was to be played out.  Everyone had an opinion on what should happen, but ultimately it really didn't matter what we thought or said. However, you certainly have to give credit to the police; not only did they evacuate one of the world’s top cities within minutes of the event, but their ability to manage the siege was an unbelievable and amazing feat.  Everyone had a job to do and even though two people heroically lost their lives in this unimaginable event, it showed that people are resilient and strong.  This type of individual will not divide us, but will strengthen us to become more determined to stick together.

As we sympathise with the devastation these families are experiencing, we also remember others who have also lost loves ones throughout the year.  It’s a time to reflect, give thanks and hug our family and friends a little tighter.  

We look forward to 2015 with great optimism as our local market shows some signs of improvement, not in the number of listings, but properties sold, and to be honest we all want homes sold.

Now that our phones are back up and running after the hail storm, our office is available to take your call  over the festive season.

From everyone at 2^nd Avenue Realty, we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.
