* h7 r# {' a, V2 F- L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

7 t( I2 Y# z/ h1 W4 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。

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.

/ v0 C( ^" E: n. X6 n, pRenting 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.

9 Q2 l1 ]3 X, A9 u1 a( N# `6 REspecially if your husband lose his job and you have to pay $2400 for your house monthly, you will be under tremendous pressure.

, @' j1 ?8 H8 {# J2 U4 t, vThere 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.

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.

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:

7 P' n; H0 l8 h( U4 ]" QMortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C

/ A/ D  t; m& S8 uOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
( O9 h' v1 l7 j$ dFurniture 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
# w8 b4 s3 d& t; kMy neighbour said it cost her roughly $300 per summer for flower bed.
: Y4 A3 l# H" J- n
1 @" A- y2 V' n: T# D4 _- ^I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.
- V  e. o) ]- m$ R" p
. k# p3 |7 Q; d3 x6 r" KIn 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 n9 O. ^/ M6 P" N$ s$ j) C( F房价即使涨也有限了
买卖房子也是很烦心的事
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
5 O9 ~! _% P  T7 R买个房子麻烦事多着呢
水电用的不随心所欲，暖气烧得也让人心疼
我还真没见过有中国人家烧得比michener park暖和的

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。
