HEADS UP CLEARVIEW - The president of the Brampton Real Estate Board examined real estate listings and sales figures for the Melancthon-Amaranth area, home to 133 turbines in what is Ontario's first and largest industrial wind farm. "Homes inside the windmill zones were selling for less and taking longer to sell than the homes outside the windmill zones," said Luxemburger. On average, from 2007 to 2010, he says properties adjacent to turbines sold for between 20 and 40 per cent less than comparable properties that were out of sight from the windmills. |
