Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- The Bank of Canada said the economy will recover from a recession this year more quickly than in the past as credit markets and exports rebound, a view that economists said may be too optimistic.

The central bank slashed its economic growth forecast for the first quarter, saying output will shrink at a 4.8 percent annualized pace after predicting in October that it would be unchanged. Gross domestic product will shrink at a 1 percent rate in the second quarter before growing 3.8 percent next year, almost double the median pace in a Bloomberg survey of economists.

“The projected return to balance of the Canadian economy is faster than either of the recoveries following the 1981-82 and 1990-92 recessions,” the Ottawa-based central bank said today in an update to its October Monetary Policy Report. “Canadian credit conditions remain better than those in other major countries” and “exports are also expected to recover next year,” the bank said.  Read More

Using Online Marketing to Reduce Fees?

---

Approximately 90% of all sales are the result of a Seller's Realtor and a Buyer's Realtor working together using the MLS system. Research also shows that most Buyers are finding properties online. For these reasons Scott Williams has decided to focus his marketing dollars cost effectively on the MLS and internet.

Scott Williams also believes that the amount of work required by a Seller's's Realtor to effectively market on MLS is relatively standard. Other then experience and negotiating skills, all Seller's agents are required to provide the same standard contracts, paper work and agency duties. 

By refraining from wasting money on ineffective marketing Scott is able to offer a $3450.00 flat listing fee. This alone will save you thousands. You, the seller choose the amount of commission to be offered to the Buyer's Agent. To provide the maximum exposure, and attract as many Buyer's Agents as possible, Scott recommends a Buyer's Agent commission that is competitive with the rates offered by other listings.
