Dori Lionello is taking over the Munday name!

Married in Oahu 2013

Hi Friends I am now a happily married Lionello. Late last month, on January 27, I married my best friend Paul Lionello. Paul was born and raised right here in Penticton and we plan on living in this gorgeous piece of paradise forever.

We both have businesses that are local in nature and the winter slows down for both of us. Paul, and his brothers, operate their family campground – Wright’s Beach Camp. And, as you all know, I love being a Realtor in the Peach City, my hometown. Our family and friends joined us for a day we will never forget. We had never been to Hawaii and we decided that the winter allowed both of our careers to take off for this event. We chose Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu as our destination to fulfill our desire to be married.

We are both so lucky to have our family and closest friends in attendance. We had 33 beautiful people join us for an elegant, rainy, fun-filled day of laughter and tears. We all enjoyed the most amazing on-site chef as we splashed in mud puddles, got my dress as dirty as could be and united two local families.

Now, the party is over. It is back to work! I am making the change from Dori Munday to Dori Lionello. My new email is going to be really easy for all of you. dori@royallepage.ca

Heritage Hills Home Wanted

Quite often I work closely with buyers and we just can’t seem to find a fit with the currently listed homes on the MLS system. This is when I seek help from those in my office at our staff meetings. I also inquire with realtors from other offices and, now without having found the right home for some of my buyers, I would like to use my blog and associated social media!
We have looked at many listed homes and we have looked at several homes that are not listed yet. But, we still need to find the right home.
We narrowed down their desired home to be in the Heritage Hills or Lakeshore Highlands area. Do you have the home? Do you know someone who does and they are thinking of selling?
Please feel free to contact me via email / text / cell phone. I would be delighted to hear from you!

Sunnybrook Drive – Private half acre family home

205 Sunnybrook Drive - NOW $524,900

I grew up in this neighbourhood and I can tell you first hand it is a great place for a childhood.
I always imagined raising my family in this neighbourhood because of all the memories. The school bus has multiple stops in this family neighbourhood.
Lakeshore Highlands is the home of Sunnybrook Drive and was created in the 1980′s. All the parcels are a minimum half acre and all the homes vary in style. Each piece of property is unique and the majority of the Lakeshore Highland residences take advantage of unobstructed views of Skaha Lake. This is the area you drive through to get to Heritage Hills! Heritage Hills was not in existence when I was growing up. By that, I mean the original Lakeshore Highland homes are spread further apart and offer much more privacy and don’t have the steep driveways. Obviously, they are not as high up the mountain.

There is so much to this home. View listing here.

Market Update for Penticton and Area

Well, we all know that Vancouver has been on fire! Asian buyers coming in and buying lots of condos. In the Okanagan, we are not realizing that spin off. We tend to follow the trends of the big city yet, last year, that didn’t come to fruition.  I recently read a report from the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) saying that Vancouver realized fewer sales this February compared to last year. Our local board numbers are, however, up year over year compared to last. (Take that Vancouver!!)

BCREA news release

I just could never live in the city anyways. I do, however, read the reports and visit my brother in Yaletown here and there… (he is getting married in JUNE!!!!)

Foreclosure Info

Foreclosure info:

Recently, there are now about 174 homes in foreclosure in the central Okanagan (Kelowna). This is a 10-fold increase from one year ago. Most foreclosures that we come across as real estate agents are the result of divorces or speculators who bought during the 2006-2007- market peak. (source: Ozzie Jurock)
