Real Estate Out of this World

Ladskater · Mar 16, 2004

Wow! I wonder if real estate on the moon would be cheaper! I am looking at houses, but might as well forget it! Unless I want a mortgage for the next 20 years! The cost of a house in the Lower mainland is unbelievable!!!! I looked at a house the other day the price was - $500,000.00 and that was in Surrey!!!!!!

I guess I better start looking at condos and townhouses!

Lad-real estate prices have gone crazy! I know So. California has and it looks like Canada could be just as bad. Thank goodness I bought a house last year, because I wouldn't be able to afford to buy my house today :eek:

The value of my house in NJ has doubled since it was purchased 12 years ago. I'd like to sell it because there's more property and more house than I really need, but I can't stand the thought of getting 1/2 the space for the same amount that we paid for this property originally.

My friends sold their house last year for 50% more than what they paid for it - only 2 years earlier! :eek:

Good luck looking Lad - you've just started, something will come up!!

Here is a townhouse I am interested in. It looks quite nice.

I hear that. The house my parents' bought in the early 80's for $40K is now estimated at $125K :eek:

All they did was renovate the kitchen.

Me? I'm just annoyed that my rent went up to $650/month. Grrr...

On the other hand :love:

@ Ladskater's townhouse.

Lad-that townhouse looks like a nice one to me.

$125K

They don't price them like that in So. California. I have lived in my house for 10 months and already it has gone up another $150K :eek:

I looked it up again and it's gone! Houses are going like hot cakes here! One has to be fast. The market is moving at an unreal pace. It makes it difficult to look while working. I think it's going to take me a long time to find something.

:sheesh:

Lad-it might be helpful for you to have a realtor keep a eye out for you.
