    Bought a house today, had to go $10k over asking to get it but still came in $65k under our budget. Overall pretty happy, already has AC, new roof, new water heater, newer furnace, newer heated garage, tons of parking and best of all basically my top pick for location. The home definitely went cheaper than I expected based on how many viewings there were on day 1.

    Can you even ball out in Calgary with 10 mill?

    Disagree on 8 figures.
    Step #1 for balling out in Calgary with 10 mil: Move away from Calgary

    Great to hear man! Can't believe the RE market is still going crazy. I feel like the Jackie Chan meme.

    Honestly I thought the high bid was going to be $30-35k over what we bid. Overall I’m just happy we stayed way under our max budget.

    Was it a 400-500k house? 800-900k? Maybe you arent comfortable sharing but always interesting to know and a good datapoint... I know a friend who got under listing on an 850k house, and i know 450k listings that went for 600k. So i'd hazard a guess you were at least above 700k

    Banks are not our friends.
    I didn't realize how not best their "best" rates were until I decided to play a few of them against each other. Went from P-1.04% to P-1.07 to P-1.15 to P-1.20% with each rate being "the best we can do".

    We got a zero down mortgage in 2002, no ragrets.

    Though I thought our mortgage rules changed a decade or so ago to prevent this?

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    I can’t believe the amount of hoops we had to jump through this time to get a mortgage, maybe a good thing for weeding people out I suppose.

    Two of the Big-5 banks and our existing lender, which is some hilarious division of ComputerShare.

    Yes. Had we waited and saved, we would have spent twice much for the same house.
