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

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。

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.

% I4 U/ G/ H' M1 y0 ?& B* U0 F1 T( xThere 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.

FYI

I lived in Michener Park before and bought a house last summer. Just try to give you a rough idea how
9 a( `: J7 b. u. ?. wmuch you may spend per month on roughly $250K Mortgage:

Mortgage/Month + property tax: $1700
$ K; u& U( H+ V3 c$ q* cUtility (gas+electricity+water): $300/M, day:21 degree C Night: 19 degree C
& G  e2 @4 {& T( `4 Y
Other expenses you may consider once you have a house:
1 ?8 R+ B+ v$ }' M1 UClosing cost (lawyer fee+inspection): $1000
Furniture at Brick/Leon's level for two bedroom, one living room, one family room: $6K (Low level)
Garden & Lawn tools: roughly $200 last summer. need to buy much more this summer

( z) @& g* J0 c$ gI am also planning to put side at least $500/M for home maintence and improvement.
7 p; m: I6 R' D" Q' _: ^, B: z
7 p0 g' O: k+ S* B# FIn a word, you will have much more unexpected expesnes once you have a house. It is similar as buying a
car instead of taking a bus. But you will also have much more fun to enjoy.

你现在住michener park吧？那个地方位置多好啊
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

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。
