1 `* R2 ?0 `* {/ [3 i1 h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

4 @) Y; A6 h$ h$ N; A, X  C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。

在家闲着

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.

Renting 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.

There 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.

+ Q3 B/ a( @$ Z* _* j7 ~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.

FYI

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:

3 n& U4 ~# {% c. l* _; f4 f( jMortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
" x5 ^8 ]$ E$ d" n; w& _Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
3 O: K/ H' T4 I; g
Other expenses you may consider once you have a house:
8 t, I4 Q# u( {4 b7 YClosing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
3 B+ y% B* U# n, f( B. l& `% XFurniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
! D7 D3 o8 ?* M& R# D4 iGarden & 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.

" Y# K* T" a  ^3 \! ^" n5 t( `I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.
6 r( a; c5 H! l0 H; O& R
  t  C: R- v- YIn a word, you will have much more unexpected expesnes once you have a house. It is similar as buying a
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
$ [$ _5 y: Z6 s3 t) D0 `房价即使涨也有限了
买卖房子也是很烦心的事
4 n, o: U7 w5 u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
