    People think they "deserve" a certain number of square feet, and granite countertops, in a certain area of town. It's weird.

    There are still lots of inexpensive homes for sale in Calgary if you are “priced out”.

    You just need to let go of the ego wrt what kind of place and location you deserve
    Calgary is just starting to pick up again. Im speaking globally. Look at vancouver/hk/toronto? Average piece of shit place in these cities costs millions lol.

    Sounds like you aren’t in the market for those places then.

    I was looking at beach houses in Malibu the other day. Outrageous prices. So unaffordable.

    Or maybe I’m just not the target buyer? Nahhh must be the evil monetary rat bastards keeping me down.

    Condo market in Calgary, aside from a few niche places, will drag for years. Need employment growth to change that, and I think you are looking 5-10 years out for that. Can't see another driver.
    If you are cash flow negative, or just breaking even, maybe just sell and buy an ETF with the money.
    Im cash flow negative on a few units at this point, but my thought process is this - it would cost me say 100k over 18-20 years out of my own pocket, to have 700-800k in assets. Maybe its a stupid way of looking at things, but its just diversifying my investments.

    Now if I could go back and never buy them would I do that? God damn right I wouldn't

    Was primary. Bought new primary.
    No interest in converting old primary into rental.

    All the other landlords I've been talking to are getting tonnes of interest.
    Tire kickers though. Like 1/15 of showings come back with applications.
    Just rented out my one condo which is definitely on the more expensive end of the $/sqft but has a huge balcony. Took me 30 showings to find someone. Half of the idiots never looked at the floorplan or pictures and when they got there realized is was nothing like what they wanted.

    Bidding wars is happening in Calgary already. You guys might be selling too soon. Dont hodl during the hell and sell before you can profit lol.
    Problem is I still need to live somewhere, so then I'm on the other side having to murder potential buyers.

    This. It's not really weird though. People want to feel rich. There's a ridiculous number of mini-Mcmansions on the newer outer edges of the city. Combine that with the degenerate "investing" tendencies/lack of financial literacy of the unwashed masses along with nearly free cost of borrowing and you get prices bid up very quickly.

    The big houses only belong in Mount Royal.

    Having RE prices linked to easily bribed port officials is a way more stable way to maintain prices than linking it to O&G

    Im just saying priced out of market is a fact and not a "thought" lol. Its a fact that home ownership has gotten a lot tougher due to pricing (increased), salary (flat, decreased, jobloss etc), Mortgage qualification difficulties (increased), etc.

    Bro, you seem to be living in a bubble or high on something good.
    I'm just saying that high RE prices are bad for the citizenry, not good.

    Are things slowing a bit?

    Detached Sales in March were 1,866 houses. April is 432 so far ... prorated that is on pace for ~1,650 this month which is less than last.

    Detached new listings in March were 2,612 houses. April so far is 719 so far .... prorated that is on pace for 2,700 a slight increase

    Though days on market has dropped to 22 days from 29 in March so maybe good deals are moving fast but more people are getting greedy and asking too high?

    I dont get lucky often but with my houses its been great. I bought my first 2 houses pre boom which i still own/rent, bought my last house in 09 after the crash, bought my new house last year mid covid and then i wasnt sure what to do with the house i lived in because the market was so shitty so i carried it and did some renos. Hoping to list within a week so im hoping i get some of this bidding war, its only worth 500 so it should be in the ideal price range i hope.

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    Spoiled Canadians with their lot sizes and million dollar shitholes. They should take a page out of Asia’s book!
