Can you blame him? I wouldn't be comfortable at all buying regardless of my income/downpayment/etc. It's a big gamble and burden to carry right now.

Just checked Oakville, there are a lot of decent detached homes for less than a mil maybe I am not looking in the right areas but the market seems "reasonable" unless bidding wars.

That to solds thing hasn't been working for ages now.

This one is perfect imo, buy it, live in it, feel out the market for a couple of years while stacking and then tear down and build.

Use the Chinese site man!

There is always something. But I think Jeffos is looking for a home that is like in the show million dollar listing lol

Takes a few days for the sold listings to come up. But at least you can see about 3 months back.

They are not foreigners tho, A NEW STUDY SAID SO

This can't be stated loud enough

I guess I'm missing the point but I don't see how you say this. Outside of the mcmasions, people upgrade based on need. What you need as a single person vs married vs kids will relate to size of house. Long gone are the days where people can buy their first house as their forever house.

True but what they could afford was a real house with costs proportionate to wages with land that could be expanded on if needed. Now you get a box in the sky or house sharing walls on both sides with a 10'x10' spit of land in the back.

For sure the house I grew up in was a forever home for them. 3 bedroom, 1.5bath big front and back yards, close to schools. I couldn't raise a family in the first house I bought, we'd all drive ourselves fucking crazy in that kind of space, lol.

and now our behaviour/expectations/"wants & needs" are completely out of touch with reality, but society reinforces that it's "ok" to want and need more and more. WE DESERVE IT! WE WORKED FOR IT! lol

Some things back then were easier, others were harder, no point in comparing. Only thing we can look at is the now, and now our behaviour/expectations/"wants & needs" are completely out of touch with reality, but society reinforces that it's "ok" to want and need more and more.

The couple paid $10,000 and assumed a small mortgage to buy the semi-detached Victorian in 1965.

Steven Atsaves of Royal LePage Grange Hall Realty listed the house with an asking price of $699,000 and a description of the property as a “renovator’s dream find.”

The asking price is low compared with the sale price of other Victorian semis on the street, he says, in recognition of the updates the house is likely to need. He figures the buyers will spend $200,000 or more to renovate.

The kitchen and bathroom are rundown and the fixtures are vintage. Radiators provide the heat. He didn’t bother with fresh paint and staging, he says, because new owners will likely gut the interior.

“It needs everything,” he says.

The first day the property arrived on the market, potential buyers were streaming through. Cowan Avenue has many stately houses that were divided into rooms and apartments in previous decades, but many of the houses have been renovated in recent years as the area has experienced a resurgence.

Jeff ain't about East York though

Her "forever home" ended up being a semi...how many people would "settle" for that now? Shouldn't she have moved 56 times by now to get to her "dream home" or "forever home".

meanwhile these days, dumb fucks are like:

A FUCKING SEMI? UNACCEPTABLE, I DEMAND DETACHED, 3K SQUARE FEET, YARD, PRIVACY, UNICORNS RUNNING THROUGH THE NIGHT, AND NO NUKE PILLS!!! WE DESERVE IT!!

I have no issues with moving, but people chasing "forever" and "dream" homes are out to fucking lunch. That shit doesn't exist, anything can be your dream home, just have to accept that society is fucking retarded.
