    X2 Condos (Great Gulf Homes/Lifetime Developments) - Real Estate -

    I would say overall positive experience (around less than an hour for me) Schnoober; since anyway I'm not a high maintained customer. As long as you have a color sense what you like I think it won't be a hard job; however the lady did mention the couple before us got into an argument what to...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    It ties back to the immigration law and new comers. High earners from China are flooding the immigrant pool recently..just because 1) the regulation of the r/e policy there 2) more and more unstable society The example I had months ago for the buyer in Vancouver, actually the family...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    In 2009 for an investing property I was asked for 30 to 35% down plus appraisal so I think Eug means is there a real change from rule tightening. It seemed some of the lenders might have always asked for 30 to 35%. So does anyone remember how long the loosen period existed ie Zero down or 5%...

    Why do you buy pre-construction real estate?

    Here is my story: 2004 I bought a pre-con in Toronto with 5% down while owning a house in Scarborough. Thinking when it would be ready I could move in or rent it out depending on my financial status. Back then condo price was pretty good because people had less interests in condos. It has...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    the article containing the charts - not too related to the previous discussion so that I did not post The summary on the 2005 stats for median household net worth The All-Canadian Wealth Test "Average household net worth is pulled up by the 20% of households who control 69% of all the...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Polkaroo, I doubt if you have read PC's previous post that being "cleaned up" from here. I fully support this forum being free of opinions, comments, different views, almost anything in relating to the topic...but I have zero tolerance of 1) personal attack e.g. to say someone is mental 2) swear...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Dave - I agree with what you have concluded above for what happened in US. However I am more interested in the impact of the US phenomena on the rest of the countries...e.g. China, India, or maybe Canada? I've read an interesting article just for sharing. Printing money causes the wrong kind...

    PC - I have to admit I was bothered by the disappeared comment you had previously..so if you are tired, no one makes you speak here.

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    My take-away, people are still optimistic therefore potential sellers have withdrawn from the market if the selling price is not what being expected by them initially...and they can afford the waiting time (due to the low interest rate I assume). Being optimistic here, maybe there are group of...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Stocks Finish Higher Despite Poor Jobs Report ..still mixed messages - Stocks have now risen for three straight sessions, lending a strong start to December. The Dow rose 2.6% over the week while the S&P 500 added 3%. The somewhat muted reaction of the markets to the adverse jobs report was...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    ...well I am not a broker (R/E agent) - though completely agree with CG's comment on the high maintenance fee associated with older condos. That's certainly something for at least a kind reminder for a new buyer. The maintenance fee certainly is a key factor in the decision making process for...

    Baby, we got a bubble!?

    Interested, I think the article about Vancouver has answered your question already. "..Yu is careful to add a caveat, though. Vancouver is popular as a lifestyle destination for those who can afford it—not as a place to make a living. More ambitious immigrants, Asian and otherwise, are more...
