! l* [  P0 t5 I6 |) p4 s; e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

三十万算不 ...

4 ^: Y! J. }6 i. R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。

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.

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.

/ e0 ?2 v  o% w( SThere 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.

" t. }* z7 E( P5 A8 sLZ, buy it now, but your need to do a lot of research in this market, safe bet would be: find a fix-upper in a good area.

FYI
" {1 J( A2 f  H$ x0 \. `
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:

9 j" V7 z" o: [( y; N( q4 SMortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
5 b' r' a! H" p& C6 T6 G0 G' y
7 D/ d7 d. ^9 I* E  [$ EOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
! ^) g6 Y: a: p, p& O& m+ |. M6 ]Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
Furniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
% y9 q2 n# o9 ?. U$ uGarden & 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.
  ]" M6 v2 f6 D# M+ |" {- N
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

是呀。而且Michener Park可能是老年中国人最集中的地方。老人在这儿不孤单。
