Open House on 6 Klondyke Road, NL, with Price Reduction
If you follow MLS listings in Newfoundland then you know there’s lots of great options out there. This newly renovated home in Outer Cove is definitely one of the better choices, which is why I’m happy to be hosting an open home there this coming Sunday, March 23, from 2-4pm.
We have recently reduced the price of this home by $20,000, so the listing price is now $339,000. With new siding, windows, doors and roof outdoors and new PVC piping, electrical and HVAC system throughout, this home has a lot to offer. 3 bedrooms are great for a big family, as is the 1.5 acre lot and 5 car parking. Close to Kelly Park and only 5 minutes to the Outer Ring Road.
For the full listing for this Newfoundland real estate, please see here. I’m also always happy to take your call at 682-0744. I hope to see you this Sunday, in this great home in Outer Cove.

Merry Christmas from Mark Glynn Homes
I’d like to take a break from my real estate blogging to wish all my family, friends, and clients the very merriest and brightest of Christmases. I hope everyone is having the holiday they’ve been dreaming of.

Spreading 12 Days of Holiday Cheer with Hanlon Realty
Today was the last day of what has been a really fun way that the staff and real estate agents at Hanlon Realty have come together to help spread holiday cheer. It was our 12 Days of Christmas Pay It Forward event. We pooled our resources, and every day for 12 Days donated $500 to a deserving Newfoundland charity. It was my favourite take on the 12 Days theme yet.
Today’s final recipient is the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or S.P.C.A., which has been operating in Newfoundland since 1888. This organization promotes responsible pet ownership and provides financial assistance for spay and neuter procedures, and of course they rescue injured, homeless, neglected and abused animals, caring for them at their Lady Dunfield Memorial Animal Shelter on RCAF Road. Please consider adopting a rescued animal the next time you’re looking for a pet.
If you’re interested in our charities, in terms of making your own donation or volunteering, please follow the links below. We’ve learned that all these great organization do incredibly worthwhile work in our communities.
Our Pay It Forward Charities:
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – helping animals in need daily.
The Gathering Place – providing meals, advocacy, literacy education, and assistance with activities of daily living for men and women in the community.
Community Food Sharing Association – the pivotal agency for food distribution to the needy in our province.
Bridges to Hope – never turning an individual away, offering a food pantry, toy-lending library, community kitchen and Christmas Hamper program.
Macmorran Community Centre – non-profit offering support and resources to members of the surrounding community, including after-school programs, career and employment programs, rental and gym space, public computer and internet access, fitness programs and an outreach house.
Salvation Army Wiseman Centre – 20-bed facility that provides temporary emergency housing and support to socially displaced homeless individuals.
Naomi Centre – emergency shelter that offers safe and supportive temporary housing for young women between the ages of 16 and 30.
Marguerite’s Place – affordable, fully accessible programming and supportive housing in a women-centered environment.
The Soup Kitchen at George Street United Church – offering a “hot breakfast” every Monday morning for the winter months and providing a hot, nutritious meal to 130 people weekly, this organization has fed over 30,000 people since it opened in 2002.
Virginia Park Elementary Kids Eat Smart Breakfast Program – serves a balanced, nutritious breakfast Monday to Friday.
Holy Cross Junior High Eat Smart Breakfast Program – providing a warm welcome, and breakfast, for on average one third of the student body every school day.
Planned Parenthood Newfoundland and Labrador – a community-based, non-profit organization working to provide knowledge and resources in an atmosphere of support and respect, so everyone in the province can make informed choices about sexual health.
When you see a list this long, and see all the crucial work these organizations do, it becomes clear how much need there is on our community. We are so blessed, and especially this time of year it’s good to stop and think about ways to help those less fortunate than us. At Hanlon Realty we hope that our 12 Days of Paying It Forward has helped us spread the joy of giving. God bless the many dedicated volunteers and staff who make these organizations do so much for so many.
As always, if you have any questions about Newfoundland real estate, then I hope you’ll call me at 682-0744. And I hope that you and your family will have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
