Hey Johnny, maybe find some buddies and team up to buy a place.

You know what I always say. When you can’t afford to share a wall, try sharing a toilet.

I think I got that in a fortune cookie once.

Buy anything and everything you can. Prices will continue to surge.

Is the rental market just as crazy as home purchase?

I’ve never heard of bidding/ sight unseen stuff that’s on the go now. It may have happened in 2006-8 but there’s lots more money in the city now…

Isn't this the kid that was chirping Calgary as being a shitty place to live? Now he's sad he can't afford to move back?

Calgary is one of the few (only?) places worth living in Canada.

Ftfy. There's a lot of very beautiful and remote areas that would make excellent living spaces, if you aren't poor.

[killramos]

If working/not being poor wasn’t a consideration it would be very difficult for me to consider living in Canada, or Calgary.

What keeps me here is people continue to throw money at me to do what I do and moving somewhere I like better and finding comparable work there would be inconvenient.

Same. It's a marriage of convenience for me as well. But when it's all done, I'm taking my capital and moving.

Actual marriage is the only reason I'm here...otherwise I'd either still be in Scotland or have gone elsewhere

Between Scotland and Canada, I would choose.... The elsewhere

Yeah but in Scotland I'm not an immigrant, so I was able to get 2 jobs back to back that matched my skillset, paid well and was in town on regular hours

I'd like to get to Texas personally, but I don't think the wife would be into that...and the company won't pay for immigration, only H1B visas

Texas is one of the places I would go pretty quick if given the opportunity. Colorado is another.

[ExtraSlow]

I have been to Texas. Like the people and like to visit. Don't see the appeal of living there.

My head is more along the lines of a boat off the south of France flagged somewhere I can’t pronounce where I don’t have to pay taxes.

I've quite literally spent time in every part of the US. The only places I would live is California or Oregon.

Even Texans prefer California if not for the commies and the expensive property.

Any idea if honestdoor.com is relatively accurate? It's showing my house value up 100k since purchasing it in the summer, neat

I have found them to be pretty inaccurate in the current market. At least in my experience.

[88CRX]

Isn’t Honest Door just an algorithm of house size, community, assessed value and recent comps?

Not that accurate IMO. Doesn’t take into account purple and red paint.
