QUOTE(Gnappster @ Nov 29 2006, 11:38 AM) Well when there aren't many girls posting it throws a wrench in the whole RMM juggernaut. Me I have been busy selling my house and buying a new one so haven't had much time to post, even at work. Wow you're selling house? For interest sake what is the interest rate over in Canada and the USA? Also, Did you see the site 3d was getting redirected to? ebake.com? I told you I wasn't just high when that happened to me before

QUOTE(ddd35 @ Nov 29 2006, 02:49 PM) well good luck to ya on that , were in negotiations to sell one farm and buy another . I hate realtors .... Well our realtor is a friend of mine so I don't hate him too much haha. Plus he is awesome and gone above and beyond what he needs to do. He has even cut us deals with contractors he knows and helped us pick out hardwoon and stuff for the renos we're doing when we move in. But to our credit, he listed our house and went to Mexico for 10 days the day after. He didn't think our house would have sold while he was gone, cuz we were asking more than the maximum he wanted to list it for. But it sold in 4 days, so he didn't have to do a lot of work to sell it. QUOTE(bondiguy @ Nov 29 2006, 10:35 PM) Wow you're selling house? For interest sake what is the interest rate over in Canada and the USA? Well real estate is booming in Canada right now, and interest rates are pretty low, at least for Canada. So it was a good time to sell cuz we made about double on our house in the 5 years we've been there and got a good deal on a newer house before prices really skyrocket. We got 5.2% rate for our new mortgage which is about as good as you can get unless you work for the bank or something. I'd also like to know what they are in other countries.

It is pretty fucking expensive place to live thats for sure. I could live in another major city in another state and be kicking arse. Official Interest rates I believe are 6.75% touche

QUOTE(Gnappster @ Dec 1 2006, 11:27 AM) Well probably nobody cares BUT, western Canada is booming, especially Alberta. I think maybe Vegas is the only place in North America growing faster than Calgary Alberta, and Edmonton isn't far behind. It's oil country there and the province is so freaking rich they give out cheques a few times a year for 4 or 5 hundred dollars cuz they don't know what to do with all the coin. Lots of people from Saskatchewan move there for high paying jobs but as a result house prices are stupidly high. And British Columbia, which is farthest west is always expensive cuz it is one of the nicest places in the country if not the world to live. So here we to the immediate east of Alberta and people are starting to trickle back from Alberta cuz it's so much cheaper here to live. Houses cost about a third as much. But as a result our economy is starting to rise but much more gradually. That's why it's good to get into a good house now. Interest rates are low and your house is guaranteed to increase in value as our population starts to grow again. Alberta's economy has grown so fast it's due to crash hard at some point whereas ours is more gradual and is "supposed"to remain more stable. That is all. Sounds similar to Sydney. It's bubble has burst somewhat but places like Queensland to the North and Western Australia (to the West haha) are growing at amazing rates. Whats the median house price for your neck of the woods?

It varies widely across the country, but right where I live, you can afford a house and still make a good living so it works out and it is attracting a lot of people back to these parts. Vancouver, BC $518,000 Toronto, Ont $342,000 Calgary, Alb $358,000 Ottawa, Ont $255,000 Montreal, Que $224,000 Halifax, NS $199,000 Fredericton, NB $135,000 Regina, Sask $137,000 You basically need to be a rich fucker to afford a house in Vancouver. And my friend in Calgary built a brand new house for just 200,000 2.5 years ago and he could probably get close to 350,000 now, how crazy is that! Our average is 137,000. Our new house which we are adding hardwood flooring, recarpetting the basement adding a jet tub in the basement and a bunch of other stuff comes to 160,000. 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, heated garage, wood fireplace in a good area, so it's pretty damned affordable. And everthing finally went through today and we move in in 2 weeks so I'm pretty stoked.

QUOTE(Gnappster @ Dec 1 2006, 05:47 PM) I am IN the city. altho our city is only 200,000 people. how much do you pay out there? and spotted (I couldn't help myself) Well it varies across Sydney and depending on how close you are to the beaches, ocean etc. Apartments in Bondi (one bedroom, studio apartments) fetch $350-$400k... if you're looking for houses in that area you are pusing a million big ones for a 3 or 4 bedroom depending on the house. In the Burbs you are looking at $400k for a 3 bedroom house minimum. All Aus dollars. I think 1 Aus Dollar buys 75c US
