For many, purchasing a new home, or selling their current home, or possibly both, are a big part of their new year goals. Here is a quick read to help you get the ball rolling.

For one of my neighbours, the taking-down of the multi-coloured Christmas tree display in his back-yard signals the end of the holiday season. For most, the unwanted gifts have been returned, the Christmas tree has been taken down, and the hardening remains of the Christmas baking have been eaten. For many who are in the habit of forming New Year’s resolutions, this is the time of year when goals are refreshed, or new ones are made with the roadmap of the year ahead in mind.
