# @* K. h- y% N" }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

" W( D; H# g; f, v" H7 B4 Z' p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。

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.

Renting 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.

: A% @- P- [8 F$ lThere 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.

; f9 a* B7 v3 _$ JIf 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.

LZ, 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.

FYI

I lived in Michener Park before and bought a house last summer. Just try to give you a rough idea how
+ r7 c! a/ T, \) n0 vmuch you may spend per month on roughly $250K Mortgage:

Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
8 ^: K9 v9 c  q7 |! X. x" WUtility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
, k/ o- o3 o! j' t* O# l2 z! I
& x/ |6 i/ Z8 C: U4 w: sOther expenses you may consider once you have a house:
Closing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
Furniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
3 ~+ N$ B" @! c- i8 i. m* NGarden & 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.

I am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.

0 z1 K# T# a/ W1 K5 k$ wIn a word, you will have much more unexpected expesnes once you have a house. It is similar as buying a
