jetsniper Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Didn't need an article to know that. We've been in a boom for a couple years now. Makes housing really expensive though, it's gonna suck whenever I move out (which will be soon since I don't want to be living here past my 21st birthday which is in...a year and a half) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah I know somebody who moved to Calgary and his house has doubled in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah I know somebody who moved to Calgary and his house has doubled in value. Yeah, we moved in to this place 10 years ago (not Calgary in general, just this house.) and it's tripled in value. I think, it might actually be a bit more.

Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 yeah here in the cheap midwest the old house that the family bought back in '87 was like 110k now its at 250k. And this house is a ranch 1 story with no basement. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this house is a ranch 1 story with no basement. LOL lol This house started at 250k and now it's at around 800k. It's a moot point though since my dad doesn't plan on selling it, his only worry right now is to buy my mom out before it gets too high just so she doesn't take the house.

Jean Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Gee and I tought than my house took a lot of value.. it went from 100K to 160K in 3-4 years. Was worth 50K when my father bought it 25 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakiqc Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 lol This house started at 250k and now it's at around 800k. It's a moot point though since my dad doesn't plan on selling it, his only worry right now is to buy my mom out before it gets too high just so she doesn't take the house. Buy out your mom ? loll 800k?? Wow Great! But the only thing is... what are you gonna buy with 800k? you're not really richer. you'll overpay for a similar house. Unless you move out to Quebec (price are going way up too, but we're still behind BC/AB). And then it'll be a new population shift.. to the East!!

And then it'll be a new population shift.. to the East!! 1) It's called divorce. 2) I already said theres no plans to sell it so it's a moot point how much our house is worth. Technically we are though, our neighbours house (the exact same model) is only selling for 400k. So we sell our house, buy their house (which is the exact same as ours) and voila, 400k net gain.

Mont Royale Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 2) I already said theres no plans to sell it so it's a moot point how much our house is worth. Technically we are though, our neighbours house (the exact same model) is only selling for 400k. So we sell our house, buy their house (which is the exact same as ours) and voila, 400k net gain. The question begs to be asked - how can your neighbours get only half of what you could get for the exact same type of house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 The question begs to be asked - how can your neighbours get only half of what you could get for the exact same type of house?

Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah then we moved into a two story with a basement. It was 300k when it was built 18 years ago. Now 660k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I like how PEI bucked the mass migration out of Atlantic Canada trend. I don't think Alberta will pass BC yet. With the olympics coming to Vancouver and its seen as a retirement place for people of Atlantic Canada. BC is only to go up. I wouldn't be shocked that in the future there would be more people in BC and Alberta then Ontario. But thats years down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah who would want to live in Saskatchewan really? Flat, Flat and more flat and that freezing cold. I feel bad for the Kansas of the North. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel bad for the Kansas of the North. Yeah, it's just a large stopover between the West and the East. I know one person who likes it and thats because he went to the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon. Good school apparently but thats all they really have. And you know where a majority of those people moved? Calgary. I think theres more people from Saskatchewan in this city then actual Calgarians. Going to Stamps/Roughriders games are terrible, you feel like an away fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I thought Alberta was full of Newfoundlanders? Remember Saskatoon almost got the Blues back in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 From statscan Newfoundland and Labrador, which lost population for the 14th year in a row, was the first Canadian jurisdiction to experience more deaths than births over the course of one year. Ouch! Poor Newfoundland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'd move to newfoundland. But a local said the weather is extreme in the winter and you're kind of isolated. oh well. Whenever I get married though thats where we're going on a honeymoon if the wife doesn't like it or not. lol. Newfoundland or New Zealand.

Pierre the Great Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 How do you know they're from Saskatchewan? Do they wear I'm from the 'Wan' t-shirts?
