you are fucking insane.
Greater Toronto Area, one of the top two markets in Canada. It is what it is. My place is paid off so mortgage is the amount listed minus 1.1M clean, doesn't seem so unreasonable to me. Five year locked in is just under 3% right now. Cant lock in longer unfortunately, renew every 5 yrs.
rich getting richer, paid off 1mm dollar house and shopping for more.

Sell your house and retire to a cheap state, eh?

Holy fuck.

Oakville :bruh:

Maybe I just don't get it, but if you're looking at "forever" homes then :whocares: about schools and a big pool+yard for the kids. You can only go outside for 6 months a year and the kids will grow out of all that stuff very quickly.

That epic sunroom, on the other hand, might make eternal winter less shitty.

I agree with :mahtroy:

Forever home should have schools as a low priority, with in reason.

Too bad we apparently can't afford to live there. Maybe Windsor or Hamilton but probably not even those.

Hamilton's catching up in home values really quickly. The trade-off is immigration, 300,000 people and everyone's trying to get into Toronto area

It's really easy to get sold :dillerman: style into places that are awesome on weekends in the summer. Even Corning is nice for those 30 days a year.

You have a lake house for those rare times anyway, right?

Yeah, that's true. I'm using it for rental income though, so it has limited accessibility. But that's not a big issue and we can take it for when we want it.

The pool can be wiped off the key selling features list

Looks like the pool house found out we're picking up interest in other properties and they want to accept our somewhat low offer after playing hard to get for a week

:excited: to go see it again tomorrow. It doesn't have the interior finishings of 177 in Oakville but it has a much nicer view from the back out, a basement walk out and addresses all of my concerns with my existing place.

Colossal day for me and :haus: things. We bought the pool house hours hours before the .gov changed the stress test lending requirements. This should give both properties we are holding a boost since prospective buyers will now more easily qualify for bigger loans.

This is big news:
