我在房版的首贴－－悬赏请教：继续租房还是买房？买什么样的房？

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

提供本地新闻，这个消息对大家还是很有参考意义的，如果政府控制价格，市场会有新的变动。

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.

" q0 o! x: n+ X% d3 R+ 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.

If the goverment put controls over the market, it will for sure reduce the risk of market crash, that means the price will keep going up--slowly, but up, for a while yet.

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:
  p6 F5 H0 E( }" H  A  f
Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
2 G, k9 u$ }- ~4 D% i; OUtility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C

Other expenses you may consider once you have a house:
Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
+ u* t% E. k# D- b5 k/ Q3 xFurniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
' n: @8 f! t, w4 n5 W; g& tGarden & Lawn tools: roughly $200 last summer. need to buy much more this summer
% [' L! {" D3 P7 ~# C, w. x1 j, M* tMy 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.

In a word, you will have much more unexpected expesnes once you have a house. It is similar as buying a
$ K! r% g& c/ z4 p car instead of taking a bus. But you will also have much more fun to enjoy.
