4 U( i" a( V: F0 M! {* 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 ...

& d' ]# Y2 |& U! C  Q. I
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.

( `; `& P1 d8 _4 p* J4 nRenting 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.

. m1 O( F; t2 I$ x" F( C5 BEspecially if your husband lose his job and you have to pay $2400 for your house monthly, you will be under tremendous pressure.

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.

( N* `& `" F9 [6 dIf 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.

LZ, 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.

  a$ G& i. _) Z# b4 U$ j) SI 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:

* R- ~1 J* B3 o4 |' eMortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
! g% o8 e0 z/ s. Z4 r- L3 r
7 a( \; u1 X& E  n" _7 y1 S4 G; Y  vOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
4 Z% }1 [' Z: |3 uFurniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
Garden & 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.

I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.
$ e) _1 J( w0 }+ I
In 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.
