|
|||||||
who believes what realtors have to say? HAM is a factor for sure..but a small one of many |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i love ham, more than bacon and sausage |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Homer: Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Lisa, honey, are you saying you're never going to eat any animal again? What about bacon? Lisa: No. Homer: Ham? Lisa: No. Homer: Pork chops? Lisa: Dad! Those all come from the same animal! Homer: [Chuckles] Yeah, right Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal. |

check this out. this development near our place (of course prime lot spot) right at leslie and major mack has finally come around to where they have the office setup to checkout models. i've been reading up on it for well over a year and even saw the plans awhile back from someone at the company. given the area/prices going over since then...i knew they'd be pricey but thought MAYBE since it's all new home dev (single detached), could maybe get in on it......... http://www.gardenhomes.ca/ (granted i can't complain since i own and am up nicely, but good luck to those trying to buy now) ummm yeah fuckin right! 85 total homes, smallest is like 3,085 sq. ft and they go up from there...lots are like 36-50' mixed....pricing starts at........$1.3 million! wat da faaaaaawwwwwk. i mean they look great and i'd hope the materials used are excellent (yeah right), but home developers are now just taking advantage....that's nuts. mind you the area south of major mack is $$$ homes which are quite large, so i guess they're sticking to that price model/range. what's funny...from the emails i got from them over the past 1yr plus, the most recent says somethign like "please do not camp out at the office at launch", etc. etc. - so this morning, there's already asians CAMPED OUT in front of the office - zero fucks given. granted i can understand camping out for new models/lower priced new dev areas....but homes starting at 1.3mil?!?! herp derp. i think kennedy/16th was bad for those tiny places vs asking price new with nothing around. i knew bathurt/major mack would be in the millions, but not just here for new homes that is. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I drove by there today, there are lawn chairs setup along Leslie south of Major Mac and I saw Asians already chilling/taking pics. Anyone else notice the sh!tshow at Kennedy and 16th this weekend? I think they released the last phase of that subdivision, the fob was strong on that one. 2 cops directing traffic in out/parking lot and all side streets jammed. wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo value |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^lol, yeah never put it past them. drove by ken/16th on sat afternoon, saw exactly that gongshow. close neighbour listed their place 599,900 (13yrs old, semi-linked, barely 1600sqft)- tons of ppl checking it out (1 persian couple, ALL the rest asian lol). it'll prob get bids up. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
lol - i just drove by (went down to hwy 7 and leslie congee queen for take out) ... there weren't many asians around but damn their lawn chairs just lined up the entire property line! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
How are the non HK asians affording this shit? Is there a secret money tree that they grow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
sold their land to the gov't or some factory?... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
lol a out fucking time they did something with that field. Prices are nuts, I guess it's not bad compared to angus glen where an attached garage home will start around the same price as these. Damn chinAr money. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
fuck....I can't stand markham. No amount of money would get me to live there. Or scraborough, or mississauga for that matter either. Zero fucks given for prices of homes in said above areas. /end rant |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i'd pick upstate NY over markham anyday. well, leaving out the entire canada vs. usa thing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
lol im reading the purchasing agreement right now faaaaaawk http://gardenhomesca.squarespace.com/preview-opening |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
North York is waaaaaay fucking worse than markham. Yes markham has issues around hwy 7 Kennedy maccowan, north York is a fucking shitshow when it comes to traffic. Raocorp isnt in north York proper doe so this is a moot point |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
oh i thought you guys ment NY new york..lol north york isn't that bad for traffic. it's the roads that are fucked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I go into Toronto (ny) weekly....please tell me how awesome it is driving on Sheppard finch or steeles between dufferin and Vic part. It's a fucking joke especially north of 401. Straight up disaster i'd kill myself if had to deal with that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Fuck NY traffic, god damn shit show. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
One good thing about wifey on mat leave -- I don't have to drive through that clusterfuck to pick her up before going home. Now I can fly on by on 401E express and worm my way up from there. Saves me 20 min. going home |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
BS, according to a couple of peeps here NY traffic is fantastical!!! |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||
That's understandable. You are lucky Barrie is still cheap |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yeah, I can't complain about the prices when I see what you guys are dealing with. It will be anywhere from 420-450k. |
||||||||

My budget is pretty much listed above, 450k would be the higher limit without being house poor and eating Ramen everynight. I'm doing this on a single income. |

what does everyone think about this??? http://www.pembina.org/pub/2014-home-location-preference-survey |
||||||||

|
|||||||
^ Have been saying that for years. Don't care about house size, never have, raised in an apartment. Location > everything else. Being close to work + amenities is most important for me. |

Now when I say this, her idea of walkable is being close to a subway line and would forgo anything bigger to accomplish that. I on the other hand would want space and would look further out (not talking sticks) to get it. |

What really kills me is when people get fixated on an idea of what they "think" they want, without quantifying it. I'd love to know big tasty's wife's reasoning on the subway station. Assuming she works DT, her only use of the subway is to get to work right? Assuming 40-50 minutes ride...she'd probably get faster to work from Pickering Port Union express GO train as an example. So all need for a subway is eliminated and big tasty gets a bigger home. And my favourite example is Hatorade's argument for paying 300k+ premium for a home off the 404 vs. 407 (north markham vs. east markham). Not going to open up that can of worms, but just sayin |

|
|||||||
Drove by the leslie/major mac...the chair line up is longer and i noticed people are sticking name tags on them so that guys like eddie_82 can't go and rearrange dem chairs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
it would be funny if a garbage truck drove by and thought they were all trash. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
wow - think i'll throw some change at them on my way home. they will prob use it towards the $25k deposit (or more?) and like $50k x 4 times payments needed for downpayment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
It's about time they fucking did something with that field in the middle of nowhere. But fuck those prices to live there lol |

I want to put a clean firm offer on a poorly customized 50x125, 3800 sq ft, 2 car garage home in Angus Glen for 1.9 and the seller won't even entertain my offer. W...T...F...? Hurts even more knowing they paid 1.2 3 years ago. |
