We are heading over to CB next weekend to look at land around the Bras D'or. There is going to be a ton of capital projects going on in all 3 counties and not is the time to buy before things go nuts. Probably the last place you can buy quality water frontage for $100k
I said to the wife a few weeks ago that we need to start looking soon too. We’ve. Always planned moving back when we retire and the prices are starting to jump in the industrial CB area now grrr
A tale of an Okanagan house Listing live @ 1pm Monday Call @1:30 for a showing at 4pm Prospective buyer showing 4-5pm Accepted unconditional offer for full asking price @ 9pm from 4pm showing Back to Calgary we go.
that would be the dream. although i would like a summer/cottage home closer to HFX in other news; apparently theres going to be a new rule passing soon that will let you see what the bids/offers in on homes are as to slow down the overbidding wars happening
So far the ban on blind bidding is just proposed but the real estate associations are fighting it pretty hard.
It doesn’t matter, the market isn’t slowing here. If it’s 4 walls and half a roof within 25 minutes of the city it will sell for 350k+
House down the road went up for sale today. Neighbor said they are asking over 500K for it but I can't find any listing online yet. It's a 250K home tops
IMO, everything the government is doing, whether it’s federal or provincial, to slow the market down, is misguided and won’t help. I’m facing a new tax on our cottage in Nova Scotia as an out of province house owner - the assumption from the PC’s is that this will get more properties on the market. From what I’ve heard, it will only be the super expensive properties that your average homebuyer can’t afford and none of them are in Halifax where the need is highest.
I think the non-res ownership rate is misguided and stakeholders weren't appropriately consulted. It will do absolutely nothing but piss people off.
Saw a place in bear river going for $450,000. Sure it's nice but I've never heard of that price down there!
I want them to address the issue of foreigners just buying up stuff here, whether it be homes or businesses. I don't like the idea of our country being owned by foreign entities. You should have to live here at least half the year or something if you're not a Canadian and want to own property.
Damnit, the house I wanted in Seattle just sold. I couldn't convince my wife we were moving here. It's right next to my office so we could have had free parking and WiFi! https://www.seattlepi.com/realestat...erral&utm_source=t.co&utm_campaign=socialflow
going to look at a property tomorrow. new family home for us. in cole harbour though, i really don't want to leave the harbour view behind but we need a bigger place for our growing family.
yes! Apparently they are thinking it might reach 600K .. it's wild. I feel like I could sell my house for a million dollars right now simply because it's waterfrontage. Fuck having to buy another house now though lol
Yeah... it'll be a couple years before I even begin to consider it; shit's just too crazy. I bought a 2 level semi in the Armcrest area in 2017 and the idea was to invest the equity plus market value increase within 5-10 years into getting the actual forever home after that. I mean.. sure I can sell it for 200-250% of the price I bought it for, but to get what I actually want probably means I'd have to buy a plot of land 10-15 minutes outside of a smaller town and build on it (somewhere that I can still get internet that isn't DSL or fixed wireless). We'll see how things scale later this decade I guess.. This is what happens when property gets treated as investments rather than homes. If it was like this 5 years ago I'd have never been able to buy a home.
I have no intentions on selling right now but I'd love for one of the other lakefront houses to sell just to see what they'd fetch lol
put several offers in on places today, going to look at a few more properties this afternoon. but i doubt we'll get an accepted offer, we're not being aggressive enough
Its pretty gross. I bought my house for $220000 five and a half years back. Most houses in the neighborhood hovered between $196000 and $325000 when i was buying. The $196k ones were usually bedrooms in basement, Kitchen and living room on 1st floor types, while mine is a 3 level semi with a finished basement. The $325000 houses were the ones on the lake or much nicer with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and finished basements and bigger yards. Now im seeing houses like mine sell for $425000 and the previously 196k ones selling for $325000. its just insane.
If you are not a citizen, you should not be able to buy at all. but BC has shown most initiatives they put into place are merely inconveniences to rich foreign entities. Student's backed by rich parents and loophole city. And foreign entities are still able to use corporation loopholes. Which none of our government parties want to address since they do it too.
