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

' g: z1 `; J  b在这里说话得注意精确度，以爱城的平均收入水平，35万以上的房子应该算中高价位，不是无人问津，是少有人问津，而且走得很慢很慢。这几天爱城市政府在投票决定阿省是否要有rental control。安省就有控制房租涨价的各项具体措施。另外，为了不使爱城变成FORT MCMURRY的翻版，省政府在45天以后会宣布一项解决爱城高房价的具体措施。以上信息是本人这两天听本地新闻所得，请大家核实后取阅。

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。

在家闲着

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.

! P. T4 {! M+ d2 Y6 h6 HRenting 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.
' S" ^; D) M! e$ Q/ T' W( G
Especially if your husband lose his job and you have to pay $2400 for your house monthly, you will be under tremendous pressure.

8 e+ Q" M5 y+ G$ K" r6 FThere 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.

3 J: `+ ]: P# c+ `& QLZ, buy it now, but your need to do a lot of research in this market, safe bet would be: find a fix-upper in a good area.

) _! M  Y7 v% MI lived in Michener Park before and bought a house last summer. Just try to give you a rough idea how
8 n# h( p* [: U' `. ]much you may spend per month on roughly $250K Mortgage:
( p0 ^3 w& y4 i3 R1 `: t
Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
9 t( ]( @- N$ j+ X% X( `Utility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
5 T7 `! O* n0 L$ h: p
Other expenses you may consider once you have a house:
3 H; N, v. C  D% ]" z7 nClosing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
) i, e+ {9 Y: m' d/ `Furniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
0 R1 g; {7 ^0 }4 u1 R7 cGarden & Lawn tools: roughly $200 last summer. need to buy much more this summer
My neighbour said it cost her roughly $300 per summer for flower bed.
2 R! H# R  A# X% Q: e6 c! q; o
I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.

In a word, you will have much more unexpected expesnes once you have a house. It is similar as buying a

如果只住两年左右不要买房了
房价即使涨也有限了
买卖房子也是很烦心的事
我也不觉得你买个house生活质量能提高多少
你现在住michener park吧？那个地方位置多好啊
: W2 Q# S% p9 [8 Q买个房子麻烦事多着呢
水电用的不随心所欲，暖气烧得也让人心疼
: W! I0 ?- U8 h" `% J+ Y" R3 I我还真没见过有中国人家烧得比michener park暖和的

5 d+ V9 z0 L1 E7 b3 k2 r是呀。而且Michener Park可能是老年中国人最集中的地方。老人在这儿不孤单。
