We live in Brampton right now, i work in vaughan, wife works downtown, daughter goes to grandmas in North York. I am tired of the driving and my wife finally agrees with me.
Any area that would make it easy is millon $ homes. Bugdet is like 700k tops.
Somthing in the duffrin, finch, bathurst, sheapered block would be perfect, but waaay out price range.
1.2M what the fuck http://beta.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?PropertyId=14220223
And 669 for this really?
http://beta.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?PropertyId=14276833
Anything thats not in the north end of Vaughan is crazy priced
Anyone live in this area?
http://beta.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?PropertyId=14238614
I see alot of big houses being built. I know that area used to be a bit shady
Or this area?
http://beta.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?PropertyId=14281967
West Woodbridge area?
http://beta.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?PropertyId=14216974
Any areas along Finch ave that are nice?
Not really looking at those houses, those are just to give you an idea of the area. If i can find a good area i can just keep watching for somthing to pop up.
Wife leaves from the downsview subway station, baby goes to Keele and finch, i go to Wonderland essentially.

I am in the same boat my man. We live in Markham and we love our area and neighborhood. However we both work downtown. I never minded the commute. We wold drive down together and when the wife was on mat leave I would take the GO train.
But now with two little ones and dropping them off to two different locations, its really taking a toll on us.
BUT EVEN THEN, I'm willing to put up with it. But its the time we get home that is the killer. How am I going to put them in any extra curricular activities or help with homework or any after school stuff? And even now, I don't get to enjoy my kids. Get home, feed them, bath them, put them to bed. And then wake them up super early to start over.
We're looking at going south into the city. Preferably East York. I want my wife to be able to get home at a decent time and be there for the kids. My wife works for the City (at City Hall) and is a lifer. She's not going anywhere (by choice at least). I may relocate out of downtown, but if we're living in EY she can be home by 4:30pm. I won't even tell you what time we get home these days.
I'd share some stories of what we're seeing for sale in EY, but you've seen the other threads. ITS ABSO-FUCKIN-LUTELY RIDICULOUS!!

Just clicked on the OP's links.  Geez, I wish I was looking at those homes/prices. Shall I reference that bungalow for $720k in EY from the other thread?

As far as the moving, you are SOL unless you significantly downsize (your house is pretty big now) and get something old/original. Otherwise for 700k you don't have many options. If you up your budget to 800k though do open up a few decent pockets.
All I can say is I wouldn't want to be you right now. I'd consider other options, change jobs/work schedules/something much easier than saddling yourself with more debt especially in this market.

It really is all about time! It's 12 hours days right now, 6am-6pm. The driving doesnt bother me, but i hate waking my daughter up so early, hell i hate waking up so early!
This city pisses me off, you either have to travel or pay through the nose for a house. And becuase our shitty transit system barley goes anywhere it;s almost useless!!

lol rob yeah man i dunno how you do (did) it. like i mentioned, only a matter of time before cracking re. the driving/etc. lol. wanna buy our place in RHill? :P - prob too small for you though. good luck man, pricing is fuckin retarrrrrrded out there right now. anything along 404 or 400 corridor is way overpriced, and even shit out to like 9th line going east is getting more pricey.  i'd suggest newmarket as SOME prices are over the moon right now, if you can find a place (usually older, but some newish stuff can be had). otherwise, if you want in the city ie. Finch/Sheppard/etc. you'll have an older shack for 600-750k for sure. else, it's a small townhome or townhome condo ugh. get ready to get a storage garage for your toys
hmm newmarket might be alright, lets see whats there
na if we move, 2 car garage or no dice lol If if i have to sell my toys to make the payments decent, i will get more

What's the point of moving from Brampton to Newmarket, you will incur costs to move yet not be closer to work, your wife isn't closer to work, and you aren't closer to your parents?

I hear you about the kids. We normally are having dinner by 6 (wife starts cooking by 5, or we have order in or left overs), homework starts by 6:30, bath and bedtime by 8 - 8:30. Really and truly, the only time to chill with the kids is the weekend.
It definitely wasn't this hectic growing up, my parents would actually come home for lunch

While I agree, it goes back to the wife situation. I'm not an advocate of picking up and moving so you can be close to work, because jobs come and go. but my wife who has been at the City for over 10 years, is a lifer. She's not going anywhere. And its HER that I want to be close to home, for the kids' sake. I think those with a wife and kids can understand that.

People are so one dimensional when it comes to commuting, as if moving is THE ONLY option to a better work life balance.
In some cases that is the only solution, in most it isn't.

Why don't you move back closer to your parents, that area isn't much even though a lot of ghetto around it but you will get in the city, new subway line up there, close to vaughan, close to parents, etc.

Market is at a peak, fuck that noise
is it really? Haven't people been saying that for the last what 3-4 years?
I hear you about the kids. We normally are having dinner by 6 (wife starts cooking by 5, or we have order in or left overs), homework starts by 6:30, bath and bedtime by 8 - 8:30. Really and truly, the only time to chill with the kids is the weekend. It definitely wasn't this hectic growing up, my parents would actually come home for lunch Start cooking by 5? Eat by 6pm? Oh how I envy you.
hahah seriously lol. I cook enough meat for the week on Sunday night, and we make sides to go with it when we get home at 6 during the week.

I guess it all depends on your outlook for the market. If we're on our way to a longer-term run up to NYC/LA/Vancouver prices then there's no better time to buy than now. But if it's going to head down significantly, and for an extended period of time, at some point you can end up in a lot of trouble.
Of course your ability to service said debt is far more important.

Wife works from home. She could make more money at another company, but thats the sacrifice we make for the sake of the kids.
