Good luck! I hated that process. So many forms to sign
What are you getting? Condo? House? And how much?
Condo in the 300s, 1 bedroom.
Not really planning to move out until end of summer though but I figure might be time to get this part done with instead of waiting until like June like I originally planned.
Yup. It's definitely a beautiful day.
Wow 300s for a 1 bedroom condo. Damn this city. This province really need to start the basic income or I'll live the rest of my life in apartment lol
I know it makes me sad but such is the life. Just saving up the last of my downpayment now. I got lucky that my parents will loan me some money towards it as well.
Yes I am spoiled and I don't care.
Ayy, what a day around my area for the TTC. Subway is out between St George and Lawrence for maintenance and shuttle buses replacing 512 St Clair streetcar. This makes all local buses run like shit too. This normal 45 minute trip will likely take two hours.
On condos; We were looking in the 270-290 range around Humber and there are plenty of options. They're pretty damn small though, so we decided to wait a year and get into the 310-330 range for a larger place.

I've just been browsing on my own currently, found some decent looking ones down by the water on Queens Quay and Lakeshore/Dan Leckie etc.
Once I hire my real estate agent that's the first area I'm gonna tell them to look in. I'm looking forward to getting run over by a street car if I do get a place there.
Yeah, I've no desire to be that far downtown, so it's a tiny bit cheaper in areas I'm looking. Chris' family is on the west end too and we've lived in the area before.
Ultimately if I fall in love with a place it won't matter to me too much where it is. I just need to be "close enough" to the subway aka like 20 minute walk away or so.
I do work in North York but I don't mind if I have to wake up a bit earlier than I do now.

Dude I was in an Uber with a lawyer and he was explaining to us how shitty a lot of these condos have been built, like the builders gave no shits and of course this lawyer helped them draft the arrangements that will protect the builders from getting sued etc.
I would be super careful about where you buy.
Oh and I'm going to be renting a room in that area, we're gonna be neighbours!!!
I work with pre-construction developments around Toronto, and I definitely second this.
May not apply to you, but if you do go with pre-construction/new purchase, you get a 10-day period to cancel with pre-construction condos - use that time wisely. Get all your questions and requests in writing (and answered as such), and have a lawyer look through your agreement - it costs money, but it's worth being thorough.
there are way too few in this city, its a travesty
I thought that was a joke, what was I thinking. I think I've had Taco Bell once in my life so maybe I'll give it a shot now. Apparently there's a place further along my street, damn.
Don't worry I also work in the building industry. I am well aware of how shitty builders can be. Any place I do end up looking at I'll be doing heavy research on what I can.
Quote to understand as I don't normally like to say where I work for reasons.
DAMN KAVE.

If you guys want to see crazy, this is the price list for a new pre-construction condo in False Creek Vancouver
Wait

Wait. Wait
You buy a condo for an absurd price, and they don't let you take the bicycle upstairs...
But
You have to pay 3000 for a shitty locker to put your bike in, a locker that people get their bike stolen from all the time since security is shit, and if it's stolen they don't hold any responsibility.
Ok
OK
An Amber Alert was issued here in Toronto for a 3-month old baby boy after a car was stolen. Rogers got rid of the loud alarm bell so it's not annoying any more. Hope they find the kid.

I'm pretty sure I've got standing offers from family to help out too, but there are no specifics and I haven't a clue how to even start to ask for that kind of money.I know it makes me sad but such is the life. Just saving up the last of my downpayment now. I got lucky that my parents will loan me some money towards it as well.
Yes I am spoiled and I don't care.
It's not like I'm asking to borrow the car for the night.
Yeah, we've got (almost) nothing on Vancouver. Their housing angst is legion.
