    I'm not interested in people living at home. I'm interested in the above choices.

    $800 a week in mortage payments, and by early next year I will have her paid off in less then 5 yrs.. (Yes I am a cheap asian, and don't want to pay the IRD, or 3 months interest or it would be paid off now)...

    Content with my current place. Once the wife is done her masters we will be buying a bigger house on a corner somewhere. I want a nicer garage and nice backyard.

    Honestly though if I had to stay where I am forever it wont bother me though. Just the drug dealing neighbors.

    We own in coventry and I would love to move back to Varsity. It is where I grew up. I want a nice house without a front attached garage and a back alley and nice trees. I miss trees oddly.

    Edit: said bungalow for some reason, not really what I meant.

    Hey 89coupe,

    You use to live in Bridgeland right? You sold the place, did you get your asking price or close to it?

    Where's your new place now?

    Meh, just a townhouse in Temple so anything is an upgrade, but I've got a $200K head start vs all my buddies who are still renting. As long as it has a heated garage and no condo fees I'll move almost anywhere.

    What are the specs on your new place? sq.ft, rooms, and what are we looking at $ wise?

    I live off 8th ave NE in Crescent and have thought about moving many times but now have put that thought to rest for good.

    Nothing crazy, just your average two storey cookie cutter home, I'm developing the basement though, so I have my man domain...lol.

    We really wanted to build inner city, but I just couldn't justify the cost/sqft.

    haha and it's for that exact reason why I have to stay put or move elsewhere if I want a bigger home but I just love the location too much.
