My lucky day! Just in time to host the Golden Skate hospitality party at the 2010 Olympics!

And, for Mathman, it would be more affordable, since the price is listed in Canadian dollars!

Does the Canadian government regulate how much property is owned by non-citizens the way Switzerland does?

Mathman there's a way around if they have a rule about buy property. Give Lad the money and she can buy it for you :chorus:

For that amount of square footage, that kitchen is pretty lame.

This is what $18 million US Dollars buys you in La Jolla, CA. I've been inside, it's a cool house. If you click on the 3rd photo of the dining room, that floor actually turns around.

Location, location, location.

Should I take my $18,000,000, move to Vancouver and get a 7700 square-foot condo, or to California and get 10,000 square feet on the beach?

Or...

Should I stay home, buy a 12,000 square foot mansion, and save $17,000,000 dollars.

decisions, decisions.

Here's the most expensive home in my area. A bit of a difference, I'd say!

Mathman unless you are planning to attend the Olympics and you love rain, and don't mind horrendous traffic problems and high prices for just about everything...stay home and save the $17,000,000 dollars!!!!!

PS - The sun is actually making an appearance today. I've forgotten what it looks like.

Dutch yours would be worth it, I miss the midwest.

And they couldn't be bothered to post any interior photos because....?

Probably because, around here, those outbuildings would be WAY more of a draw!

They are there- look at the "photos" tab. Personally I hate the kitchen. A bright lime green floor? And I hate the long narrow "galley" style. Yuck. And I hope the glass windows are one-way in the bathroom, or the neighbours would get a nice show at night!

Gorgeous views though!

I already commented on that property and the lame kitchen (see post #5 above). The property that had no interior photos was the one Dutchherder posted (post #7).

Wow....those are some expensive properties. Here in NJ...the houses cost a fortune and you need about 1 million dollars to pay the property taxes!!!

These are just condos in downtown Vancouver. Real Estate in West Vancouver and Vancouver Island is "out of this world." A lot of movie stars and entertainment stars from the states own property in and around Vancouver and on the Island.

I cannot believe that house is still on the market... MM, you should depart the suburbs and move to the Boston Edison district... and then have a party because I've always wanted to see the inside of that house... I'll even bring the peach cobbler!

 

[Mathman]

I already live in Detroit. The suburbs? What do you take me for, a deserter?

BTW my wife's grandparents owned one of those fine old houses in Boston-Edison (on W. Chicago). It was originally the home of the Chatham bakery people (later Chatham Supermarkets, before they were bought out by Krogers). The old industrial ovens where they baked their bread were still in the basement, and still in working order.

Expensive Homes

well, if you have 52 million in change, you can get this one instead! (and please let me know if you do, I would LOVE a tour :yes

this home was featured in the LA Times early this year. Although most of the homes in that area are easily millions each. I used to pass that area a lot, and it was nice to see all the pretty houses.
