The pins are a fund-raising idea which came from the London and St. Thomas Real Estate. Estate. Board. The ODREB picked the local Hostel Services as the recipients of the proceeds from the pins because Hostel Services is committed to providing providing a wide range of residential and community support services. The aspect of these pins ties in with Ontario Home Week for 1993 with the theme "Home ownership... ownership... feel the pride". The ODREB membership and guests at the meeting meeting bought the colourful ceramic-like pins to show their pride in home ownership, and to help out a very needy cause. The pins sold for $10 each, of that $1.50 goes to Mission Services of London in London, Ontario, and Wise Investment is Real Estate By Dorothy Hartford If you expect to become wealthy from bank savings, dream on. The effects effects of inflation and income taxes sabotage any potential real growth in the common savings account. Real estate, on the other hand, provides a good opportunity to accumulate wealth for the future. Almost everything everything else you buy today - automobiles, automobiles, appliances, furniture - starts to depreciate once you buy it. But real estate has historically outperformed the rate of inflation. Sure, during bad economic times, house prices may fluctuate. But most well-located properties will appreciate appreciate in value over the long term. And even though the house you find today may seem to have an outlandish outlandish price tag, the cost will likely be much higher in the future. You've heard it before: "I could have bought this house 10 years ago for half what it costs now." Where investment in real estate is concerned, it's never too late. For most people, owning their own home is the single biggest investment investment ofa lifetime. For many retirees, a paid-off home can mean a comfortable retirement. retirement. In Canada and the U.S., 63 per cent and 64 per cent of all households (respectively) own their own home (according to the 1991 Canada Census Census and 1987 American Housing Survey). Survey). And with today's low mortgage rates, more and more home buyers are seizing the opportunity to enter the housing market. $3.50 is donated to the local Hostel Services in Oshawa. Blair Buchanan, ODREB Director and Chairperson of the Community Affairs Committee says that when he saw the pins at a conference, he thought the idea was wonderful. "You can't buy a unique piece of costume costume jewellery anywhere for only $10. The benefit with the selection of the pins that we have, is that you can find more than one that you like, and many suit both men and women. The link between the pins and Ontario Home Week is quite unique. Home- owners feel the pride of home ownership ownership and buy a pin, and this in turn, helps Hostel Services with their residential residential and community support services," services," says Buchanan. The ODREB ordered 300 pins from the London and St. Thomas Real Estate Board, and there is still some available.
