我在房版的首贴－－悬赏请教：继续租房还是买房？买什么样的房？

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

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.

Especially 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.

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.

FYI

I lived in Michener Park before and bought a house last summer. Just try to give you a rough idea how
% e& P; H& W, `: }& r2 Cmuch you may spend per month on roughly $250K Mortgage:

Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
  c9 b! y7 b, g' s: QUtility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
0 i& j4 x0 Q" s( j$ g) R6 u. k
5 k  n" ~! u& z0 b1 N# h% GOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
: Y* x7 y; l! g+ F! S- @Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
% T, u; r* d# ?2 c+ u1 ?1 ^Furniture 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
$ F2 t; y3 W1 `( P; \5 ~8 r2 [+ KMy neighbour said it cost her roughly $300 per summer for flower bed.
& v# y+ v8 o" E& D( _
I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.

8 F9 ?; J! h' \- x3 O, ^; dIn 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.
