If condo prices soften, house prices can't be far behind. I've even noticed that cottage prices are softening too (rubs hands gleefully)

Condo's are shit. I have no idea how this stuff just continues.
That being said, I'm still happy I bought the one I did buy.

This reminds me years ago, when my friend went to the Mid-Autumn light festival (or whatever) at Ontario Place... I had Choco's pics on my monitor, and he said 'I saw that guy, some big black dude hogging the whole place with a camera on a monopod'.

Rent is too low in Toronto, prices have to drop a lot before I'd be buying a place to rent out, but by then, so will everyone else.
Got my MPAC assessment last night.

I have 2 parking spaces in garage, 1 on driveway, and 2 beside garage so I don't plan on parking in the backyard but I do have double 4' gates that does allow a car/SUV to enter the backyard.

Just saw on the new that the Mr. Christie plant in Etobicoke is closing down for a new condo development.
Srsly, how many condos can this city support?

When the old Mr. Christie’s Bakery closes in 2013, for 550 workers, many of them from families with a decades-old history of mixing, baking and packing biscuits, the shutdown is the end of the line.
Mondelez Canada, a new entity that emerged this October from the split of Kraft’s North American operations, hopes to rezone the industrial-use land at Lake Shore Blvd. W. and Park Lawn Rd. for mixed-use development, including a concept for 27 condo towers

Same... keep in mind, there are many people in their 20s and 30s still living with their parents. They will either continue to live with their parents or suck it up and buy a small box in the sky. EVERYONE (well not everyone) is waiting for the market to crash.

not exactly.
What I will do is, as soon as my son is done school or starts working or whatever. I will ask him to pay me 'rent' and I will put that rent money into a savings account for him for as long as I feel I saved up for his down payment to buy a house.
my parents did that for me, if they hadnt saved my money for me, I wouldnt be living in my house right now.

Infidelity, conflict/abuse or financial I'd say are the main reasons... I think whether it's complicated or not depends on the perspective tho - if you're the one in the situation, it's never simple, but looking from the outside, it's easy to oversimplify.
