I’m listing a completely gutted to the studs fully renovated bungalow in Haysboro next week. Will be interesting to see how fast it sells. Market is crazy right now.

I predict 7.2 hours

Buddy just got what seems like a good deal in your hood last week. He had been looking for a while and was beat out on a few occasions prior.

Its super underrated IMO. Especially the south east side away from the macleod plebs. Max teal goes to Quarry park and to MRU. Costco, superstore, T&T, and all the shopping of heritage meadows down the hill. Super easy to drive to and from with Blackfoot, Glenmore, and Deerfoot to go anywhere. >50 foot wide lots, wide streets, ours has a paved alleyway, all friendly people that look out for each other. Lots of backyard mechanics but with clean properties. I've seen 3 garages on my street with lifts in them and beautiful workshop setups. Pretty great vibes.

Plebs with 3 to 10 car garages, lol. Though honestly I would hate to live along that hill. Always so windy.

Am I the only person who considers transit going through my neighbourhood to be a massive negative lol

[roopi]

I live in the SE with LRT planned for the area. I will leave before it gets here. If low life's want to come to my neighborhood steal a car or take an uber.

My old place was 2 blocks from a planned green line station. So it had a shelf life that’s for sure.

I'm gambling that the green line never gets to that location. Or I'll be retired before then.

Your commute will be fun during the construction.

I'll get a job in Airdrie. Only 20 minutes.

Train yes. Rapid bus, ehh not as much.

[killramos]

Ahh yes. The noisier smellier train that stops more often. And blocks traffic.

I lived in crescent heights and crossed that off my list, and the list of a family member who is house shopping because of how terrible it is living near a c-train. For those interested, there is a thread of my experiences living in sunalta that should change anyones mind regarding living near the train.

With the bus there is one bus driver and a fare (that they probably don't have) between them and me.
With the train it's literally free for all hop on and off as you please.

Guessing it was too "inner city" but its really nowhere near a train station unless you're thinking about the line they're planning to build going up centre street north. I've actually never even seen a bum in crescent heights or bridgeland even. Bums don't climb up hills. I see more transients at crowfoot/shawnessy than crescent/bridgeland.

I lived by rotary park for 5 years and loved the area at first, but the last couple years it started to slip, homeless dude sleeping outside right beside our bedroom, needles in the back alley, someone shitting on our garage, continual theft attempts on our cars and garages, homeless started living in rotary park and setting up camps. Add to that how badly they are going to fuck up centre street with the train construction AND all the additional homeless that will bring, not a place I wanted to spend anymore time. The homeless who climb hills aren’t as bad as the lowland homeless, but the train gives the flatlanders a free ride up said hill.

Its hot. Rednecks, fight me!

[ExtraSlow]

Apparently both those places I posted in Riverstone have sold over asking without conditions in the last week. Now rumour is that two more families on that same street are going to list this week to take advantage of the hot market.

Seems totally crazy to move in this market if you can't remove yourself from this local market. But what do I know?

Nolan Hill, was $575K in 2019. $50K for build out basement, sold for $801K, no condition.

Shawnessy, asking $550K. Sold for $625K, no condition. Don't know if it's a selling tactic or not, competing buyer's realtor show up with client on facetime speaking "foreign" language.
