There is a new listing in Riverbend that's miles better. I will post the link, if I decide not to take the dive after viewing.

With the same amount of money, you can buy a 1800 sqft brand new 2-storey house in Riverbend.

This house:
1 v3 M: C0 L* ~! I+ oGolf course +$30k
Bi-level -$30k
Not brand new -$30k
1500 sqft -$20k

It should list at most $517k - $50k = $467k.

静夜的玫瑰

咱们探讨一下也挺有意思，
1、这个房子是1619.97 sqft bi-level，而你比较的是1800尺2 story，现在的新房相信主层一般小于900尺，面积主要在楼上的bolus room，所以所谓1800尺其实是挺小的。
$ D  W0 Z! f# }+ U2、bilevel地下室高窗，没有地下室的憋屈感觉，完全可以利用，而1800尺的地下室没有窗子，面积不会超过900尺，只可以做储藏室。
3、另外这个小区在西边属于不错的区，新房也远没有你说的riverbend那么处处林立，像个新房工厂，感觉不是很好。那个区的好房子，好地段都不是50万可以考虑的。不知你同意否。
4、我自己住在西边Donsdale，所以对西区比较有感情，感觉西南的riverbend，ruthford等地开发的比较过度，太多新房，环境已经远没有几年前那么好了。lot狭小，而且大部分中国人都挤在那里。几年后就可以看出不同，前院，后院光秃秃，不舍得投资美化。
# g5 L  B( t* _" }# h5、另外新房就一定好吗？两三年内生活像在工地上，啥设施也没有，最近一两年建了那么多新房，不见得比我们10年内的房子那么质量好吧？没有研究，瞎想的。
6、对bilevel没有研究，为什么要-30k呢？说说理由，我还想换bilevel呢。

Bi-level is the cheapest kind of all, mainly due to the inflated floor area numbers.

# T; f3 J, q8 _! xAs for the appearance of the community, I do agree with you that some new ones in Riverbend doesn't look great. But the listing you posted doesn't have much curb appeal either. There are dozen of nice-looking 10~20 years old listing in Riverbend. 40 ft frontage, stucco. They are perfectly move-in ready, and could be better if you can renovate yourself.

Since I am determined to wait for at least another 6 months, I will share this listing with you. Have a look and then tell me is that west end house attractive any more?

I drove by and had a good look at it yesterday. It's very nice. The only thing strange is that there is a hole on the living room window. What could cause that?

Thanks for sharing. It looks like a very nice home.  But I am determined to wait for at least another 12 months, I think the house prices are still too high now.

Drive by and you will know it's cul-de-sac and almost no traffic to the side of this house. The main road is the one that the driveway leads to.

yes, it is good neighborhood, but my is may smallest one in that area.

静夜的玫瑰

calm down pls. I don't advertise for anybody , just share what I like. Luise Estate and Wedgewood are really good community as well as my donsdale, I like them all. and about the bi-level , I can't agree you more, yes , you don't have basement , but you have another "main floor". this is just my opinion. about your 70% as useful, by the way , what u decide to use it for? it is so dark and creepy even daytime, I just use it for video and exercise。that why I like bi-level.
$ {" {, z0 v2 k3 ]4 v8 K4 o& zand the" cheapest kind" is what you think or some professional guy tell you?
or you may pls check which area the house price drop most? I heard from someone , but not very sure, so check it by yourself better, cause I know some area the price is not drop that much , it is very stable.

Yes, this is the No.1 deal in Riverbend now. Why don't you view the house in person before making judgment?
BTW, I think corner lot is good. Especially with this one, wrought iron fence on the side, very nice.

呵呵，咱们俩一样，我也是见一个爱一个，最近一年来看了很多房子，一直吵吵要用房子涨价的部分去投资再买房子，结果在老公的力压下没有敢轻举妄动，结果到了7 月份，老公可得意了，说，看看，如果听你的买了第二个房子，现在就该你每天晚上睡不好觉了。我还是痴心不改，周末经常出动去看房子，尤其最近，经常看到一些很不错的房子，然后就觉得自己的钱袋太瘪了。你的townhouse也不错啊，如果不想太操心，就先住着吧。如果觉得经济可以接受，先卖了townhouse，然后再买singlehouse 我觉得不错。townhouse 好像没有跌价太多，因为是很多first home buyer的首选，有些新区的投资房有人着急卖可以买到不错的房子。

静夜的玫瑰

it is very nice for living. but if it is for investment, think it one more time: is it good for the future to sell? corner lot and side way, not everyone like it though. and by the way, if a area is over investment, you can buy house very cheap right now, but when you want to sell it , it is cheap too.

还有涨价的，昨天我去了一个builder那里，他们把所有将建的duplex的价格调整为375k起，这一起，基本随便搞搞也就要了400k，和现在市面上的很多singlehouse的价格差不多，而且也就1200多sqft。看来他们也是还没有睡醒的？！
