Ennismore Journal: James A Gifford Causeway Widening, Plowing match, Thinking of Buying a Cottage in the Kawartha's
Chemong Causeway with a 2018 start
County council has recognized the James A Gifford Causeway is in need of major work to prevent future failure. Using funding for the Public Works Assets and Engineered Structures Reserve the county has stepped up the tendering of this project in 2018. Originally this project was projected to start in 2020 but a recent windstorm in May of this year pushed Council to step up the project to prevent catastrophic road failure. Did you know: The James A Gifford Causeway sees 10,000 vehicles cross Chemong Lake every single day?
Plowing Match
This year's Peterborough County Plowing Match is taking place September 28th and 29th at Dave Edgerton's farm located at 11 Lindsay Rd in Selwyn Township. You will find machinery, demo's and full displays from farming vendors. Of coarse don't forget about the plowing match!
Thinking of Buying a Cottage in the Kawartha's
Thinking of buying a cottage on one of our beautiful lakes? Lots of things to consider. Top of the list is purchase price or price range. Know what you are comfortable paying.Remember: Location, Location, Location. The Kawarthas offer fantastic access and less traffic to the GTA then the Muskoka area. No HWY 400. The 115 is quick and light access. The 407 is getting closer and closer to being completed to give even better access.
What kind of Cottage Life do you envision for you and your family? Some look for the "neighbourhood" style of cottage with residential style properties living close to Peterborough. Others look for the "woods" experience of Catchacoma Lakes area. Maybe a mixture of both like Buckhorn Lake or North Pigeon Lake?
How much privacy are you looking for? What kind of Lake do you want? What are your interests? Is fishing key? How about boating? ATVing or Snowmobiling? Swimming?
What is the best fit?
That is where I, Brad Sinclair, Realtor® and sales representative with Royal LePage Frank comes in! I know the area to match you with the best situation. Why would you drive around aimlessly guessing about an area with an out of town agent? (happens all the time, makes no sense)
Get the service you deserve so that you will not get accidently sold that cottage that looks great one season and horrible the next. Check out www.gowaterfront.ca for details!

The Ennismore Journal: Why Brad Sinclair is running for Ennismore Council Seat and what I am committing to you
“Good leaders-as opposed to good politicians-are willing to sacrifice personal gain for the good of the community”
-Unknown
People and councils need change. A different perspective. You need change for growth. Past councils have done a wonderful job for our community. They have done the best of their abilities. To move forward and grow change must always happen. The very definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I have a clear understanding of the role of governance, inter-municipal relations, social and economic development, bylaws, budgets, municipal departments and more. I would come at these roles as a councillor representing Ennismore as more of a business and social perspective. My thoughts would be what is best for Ennismore and Selwyn as a whole with every decision.
Social media will play a large part in my role as a Selwyn Councillor representing Ennismore. Social medial plays a huge role in the success of my business and I would apply the same principles to my role as a councillor. This will create discussion on the issues and create a dialog of what is happening in the chambers of council with the people of the community. This will give everyone a voice and KNOW what the issues of the day is.
I am not going to tell you that there is going to be a huge change if I get elected. Using a baseball analogy, you can not go in to politics thinking that you will be hitting home runs meeting after meeting. I will be aiming for singles for Ennismore advancing the runners looking to score. Using this analogy I have been successful in my business, family life and marriage.
I am running to serve this community. I want to provide good leadership, to plan and build for the future. I want to make a contribution of ideas, philosophies and passion for this community. My family and I are willing to make the sacrifice of time to make a better future for Ennismore. This will benefit my children, your children and their children.
I want to be part of the team of amazing people that are running for council. As part of the council I will inform myself of the issues. I will debate. I will carefully consider the information, opinions and positions of my fellow Councillors and administration. I will vote for what I feel is best for our community and I will accept the decision of the group.
My promise: I will not avoid the hard conversation, I will not avoid the hard topics or avoid the difficulties Ennismore residence are facing. I have never backed down from doing what is right no matter how hard the issue is. I believe in my heart that failure is showing up with a reason not a result. I will always strive for results for this community.
Who is Brad Sinclair? I am easily researched on Social Media. I am a local Realtor®. I have been raised in Ennismore and currently raising my family of 3 children here too. I have a beautiful wife named Susan. Your concerns for your family are the same as my concerns. Call me, I would love to chat. 705-927-6236

The Ennismore Journal: Hey Brad! How is the market?
Hey Brad! How is the market?
When I get this question people are looking for very short answers. They don't want stats. They don't want a long explanation of why the market is doing what it is doing. When I give those answers their eyes glaze over and you can see they wished they did not ask! People want one or two word answers then carry on. Good, Great, Ok and Bad seems to be the classifications.
The real estate market is like any market and their professionals. Boring to a point. People would like to have an idea because they own a home or maybe buying in the future. So, I want to give you some boring stats that I find interesting.
The County of Peterborough is currently carrying 325 residential listings with an average price of $715,201.
The City of Peterborough is currently carrying 149 residential listings with an average price of $465,756.
The County of Peterborough is currently carrying 23 farm listings with an average price of $1,022,791.
The County of Peterborough is currently carrying 109 vacant land listings with an average price of $322094.
The City of Peterborough is currently carrying 5 vacant land listings with an average price of $567,940.
The City of Peterborough is currently carrying 8 multi-family listings with an average price of $567,940.
The balance of these listings stats are both City of Peterborough and County of Peterborough residential properties.
Listings Year to Date: -13.83%
Unit Sales: -28.59%
Average Sale Price: +5.43%
Average Days on the Market: 31 Days
This was short and sweet so I did not make it too boring. If you need more detail or would like to see what your home is worth, please give me a call.
