2 ^5 Y. {$ z' G) \/ D6 l! G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.
* j0 F: ^/ H8 k* N9 m1 t
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.

* C) Q  P, a% U) v5 REspecially if your husband lose his job and you have to pay $2400 for your house monthly, you will be under tremendous pressure.
  |. A: u* ~# x( G7 q6 z, n
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
" y4 r" L' v: v2 D) @  l7 U- pmuch you may spend per month on roughly $250K Mortgage:

Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C

& D1 U. O, B( v# GOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
. p" m( H- |( u3 s3 r* UClosing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
: v" V; Z9 Z$ I$ W: FFurniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
2 s3 f  Q. Q/ |Garden & Lawn tools: roughly $200 last summer. need to buy much more this summer
/ W- L9 H5 ]+ N* nMy neighbour said it cost her roughly $300 per summer for flower bed.
7 L  ]$ v" y# T
I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.

! ~+ x0 w0 X* X( {+ \. C% A7 r* LIn 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.
