George Bamber, owner of a Calgary-based Century 21 said it’s a sign of a city maturing and becoming more like Vancouver or Toronto where downtown is a place where people live and work.“You just get more real estate for your money outside of downtown,” he said. # V* S. V( F5 c: c/ t

不是真的吧。我朋友在纽约,他说他买不起房子,他住公寓,房租一个月2800美刀,不过据说很奢侈。比起来,爱民顿还是很便宜的,不过可能占工资的比例就比较高。我朋友两口子年收入税后将近30万。

这房子是new york Manhattan最便宜的two bedroom了, 其他的都上了50万. 要注意这个condo是co-op, 也就是说房子没有卖的权利, 要通过condo board调查买家,经过的同意才能卖.
