How do I go straight to 7.2?

Sell an inner city bungalow.

Don't forget about the pop.

The price is right, house number not so much.

This is true to an extent. $200K burb apartment would be a reasonable/desirable option if it was in a vibrant & walkable neighborhood like much of Toronto/Van. Lets face it - people want detached homes in the burbs for the extra space not the vibrancy or convenience. The cheap apartments in Calgary that are sprinkled into each development are not spacious, vibrant, or convenient. People deserve at least one of things when buying a place.

Instead we sell you a 2BR condo in Livingston with only 1 parking spot, zero transit, and the nearest grocery store is a 10min drive away.

Another option in Riverstone. Have met this dude, chill guy. House is nice and one side is that zipline park so you get lots of sun.

So when are you moving to Cranston ES?

[ExtraSlow]

Not this cat. If I move it'll be Cambrian Heights or Highwood probably. But will wait for next real estate crash to do it.

[killramos]

I think you are following the wrong RE markets then haha

[ExtraSlow]

Or I'll never move. Works for me. Do not have the itch. Jist have a buddy who lives right between the two houses in posted on Cranbrook Hill.

[killramos]

Moving sucks. That sounds smart.

Highwood? What?

[ExtraSlow]

I like Highwood.

[Cagare]

Highwood is a hidden gem in the NW. Quiet community with no reason for arterial traffic to go through because it does not connect to any major roadways while still having good access. We tried to find a home backing onto Highwood Park, which is huge park that not many people use aside from the neighbourhood.

[speedog]

Been in Highwood for 25+ years now, some hidden good public amenities as well - newest renovated outdoor pool in the city and a recently totally rebuilt ODR too. Biggest traffic issue is the before and after school rush for the 3 schools located in the community. Good mexican place down by Fowler and in fact, a number of decent restaurants down there as well as a good pizza joint in the middle of the community. Our block of 20 or so homes has only seen 3 homes sold in the past 15 years, very friendly neighbors who look out for each other - last original homeowner from 1955 moved out 2 years ago.

Also bad feng shui being directly in front of on coming traffic. That drone shot hurts more than helps.

That's why it's cheap. Bungalow up the hill usually goes for $1M. And the risk having a bunch of neighbors behind you once the golf course totally sold out is very high in the next decade.

Can a noisy-mirror deflect it? (Disclaimer I don’t know shit about feng shui). Ok ok what if we melted all of @ZenOps nickels to do like a satellite dish deflector

I was chugging that same day sale/bidding war kool aid hard so when i i didnt get any offers the first day i thought i got too greedy lol It finally sold the next day and for 20k over ask so now the fun part of the inspection and financing but my realtor told me he saw their pre approval letter. Mine was in the 850k territory so i shoulda known it wouldnt be the frenzy like the sub 650k houses. The day before i listed 4 other houses came up for sale but only 2 were potential comps. Houses are popping up for sale fast so definitely going to be interesting to see what happens in the months coming.

SFH in my neighbourhood are $525-$850k, and everything around the $600k mark that has a sign pop onto the lawn, has a C/s or sold sign within a day or two. Can confirm hot market is hot.

[Proyecto2000]

There is one house for sale in Redstone for $930k right now. Wondering if it will go over ask and set an upper NE record lol
