    Expansion of the local oil sector can be great for the local economy and the local real estate market. Expansion of the Alberta oil sands has had a huge positive effect on the Calgary Real Estate market, for instance. I hope that development of your oil resources benefits Newfoundland as much as the development of the oil sands has benefited Alberta. Good luck!
