Previousiy, people ai'ways wanted to put their bouse up for sale in thespring. The rationale was that the bouse showed better - the grass was green and a garden made 'a house more attractive. The -second most popular ,time was the faîl for much the samfe reasons. Winter and summer were periods of slow ac- tivity. But times- change. Meeting The September gener- ai meeting of the Oshawa-Wbitby New- comers' Club will be beld on Tuesday, Sept- ember 14 at 8 p.m. at Christ Memoriai Angli- can Church, Mary and There no longer seems to, be any best time of the year to seli.

But, today the fastest growîng segment ofthe housing market is made UP of transferees, peo- pie changing houses for job-related reasons. Large corporations are the main force behind thèse transfers and they hardly pay* attention to the changing seasons when moving-personnel. This bas resulted in a steady stream of buyers and sellers throughout the year, and a levelling of the peaks and troughs in real estate sales.
