* F  o- M0 c3 z+ V! s' {现状是：价位低的房子（Townhouse）走得比较快，但是高价位35万以上的房子几乎无人敢问津了。这说明了什么？很简单，市场的购买力已经非常有限了，剩下的那些没买房的人真的已经买不起房子了



三十万算不 ...

$ p  M" v7 d, U* W

在这里说话得注意精确度，以爱城的平均收入水平，35万以上的房子应该算中高价位，不是无人问津，是少有人问津，而且走得很慢很慢。这几天爱城市政府在投票决定阿省是否要有rental control。安省就有控制房租涨价的各项具体措施。另外，为了不使爱城变成FORT MCMURRY的翻版，省政府在45天以后会宣布一项解决爱城高房价的具体措施。以上信息是本人这两天听本地新闻所得，请大家核实后取阅。

The house prices are ridiculously high now, they will drop in 1-5 years for sure. It is too risky to buy a house now, you may end losing a lot of money. Now those construction workers make tons of money, if you buy a house, you are donating money to them. If you have too much money, you can do that, if not, you need to think about it carefully.

! s* f* L- J' k; A( V2 a3 KRenting is a much better option for you, it is cheaper. Try to save money now and wait for a couple of years, if prices drop significantly, then you can buy. Otherwise you may want to move other cities.

$ O7 u, ?, ]; f1 R9 U, ~+ t6 N  A/ UThere is no difference in terms of life quality between renting a house or owning a house. A house is just a place for you to live no matter you own it or rent it. The benefit to own a house is you can build equity from it. After 100% price increase in the recent years, I don't expect to get 10% increase annualy.

+ E6 a% H3 y+ Q0 o* p! F6 z# v" T
I lived in Michener Park before and bought a house last summer. Just try to give you a rough idea how
much you may spend per month on roughly $250K Mortgage:

+ B3 O. A5 T' ^! |+ U( ?Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C

. {7 }0 f: @7 u3 P! fOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
Furniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
Garden & Lawn tools: roughly $200 last summer. need to buy much more this summer
My neighbour said it cost her roughly $300 per summer for flower bed.

I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.

9 B, L% w" M9 @7 E8 v$ fIn a word, you will have much more unexpected expesnes once you have a house. It is similar as buying a
$ s" i0 i' @; w car instead of taking a bus. But you will also have much more fun to enjoy.

如果只住两年左右不要买房了
房价即使涨也有限了
& p6 f/ {1 F9 h: x买卖房子也是很烦心的事
我也不觉得你买个house生活质量能提高多少
你现在住michener park吧？那个地方位置多好啊
7 V1 d6 f" u, ]) n2 m, N; k: x买个房子麻烦事多着呢
水电用的不随心所欲，暖气烧得也让人心疼
我还真没见过有中国人家烧得比michener park暖和的

是呀。而且Michener Park可能是老年中国人最集中的地方。老人在这儿不孤单。
