People who live in downtown business districts in Canada’s largest cities generally pay less per-square foot than people in cities around the world and enjoy shorter daily commutes to work, according to a recent survey done on first-time home buyers by CENTURY 21. 2 Q$ B" Z& t9 l2 A( t: {6 U

George Bamber, owner of a Calgary-based Century 21 said it’s a sign of a city maturing and becoming more like Vancouver or Toronto where downtown is a place where people live and work.“You just get more real estate for your money outside of downtown,” he said.

不是真的吧。我朋友在纽约,他说他买不起房子,他住公寓,房租一个月2800美刀,不过据说很奢侈。比起来,爱民顿还是很便宜的,不过可能占工资的比例就比较高。我朋友两口子年收入税后将近30万。

也就是说edmonton的房子和东经,new york基本一样. new york的中心two bedroom房子没有个50万买不到, twowhouse起码上80万...edmonton还没有到这个价吧?

这房子是new york Manhattan最便宜的two bedroom了, 其他的都上了50万. 要注意这个condo是co-op, 也就是说房子没有卖的权利, 要通过condo board调查买家,经过的同意才能卖.  J' z' t- |7 f0 j+ i
