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 ...

5 Y* `! @/ i) k+ y' O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.

: Q. e% x0 v4 Q; u" \/ q8 w+ gEspecially if your husband lose his job and you have to pay $2400 for your house monthly, you will be under tremendous pressure.

6 W' H3 z4 W( M7 bThere 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.

FYI

7 X- P% c: v) W0 s! HI 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:
4 q- I- P& e5 r+ Z
Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
( G3 ^" @; S7 u8 N) x- b- a$ H' k/ BUtility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C

Other expenses you may consider once you have a house:
3 v$ E8 q9 {; t; t# IClosing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
0 K% l" L  |  A7 _! T0 S2 ?Furniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
. h9 y9 d, n& Y5 bGarden & Lawn tools: roughly $200 last summer. need to buy much more this summer
7 N. U% S/ Q  E# UMy neighbour said it cost her roughly $300 per summer for flower bed.
0 s1 w) G2 Q) V. p
# n- }$ }6 `" k+ w/ EI 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

如果只住两年左右不要买房了
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
$ T: r0 x7 Z- r: u5 X1 ?" ^你现在住michener park吧？那个地方位置多好啊
买个房子麻烦事多着呢
8 |3 O8 O% D) V% m3 ?$ ?水电用的不随心所欲，暖气烧得也让人心疼
