"The next Main Street"
Main Street is dieing imo.. the cost of living and rents there are decimating the area and it feels empty compared to just a few years ago.
3 different businesses from main have closed up shop and moved to Hastings sunrise now whom I've spoke with, all citing basically the exact same thing, prices are so high there now that they have no clientele and it's impossible to make a buck when rent cuts that deeply into your margins. I beleive another business, a new barber, is moving from main to around Hastings and Nanaimo in the next few weeks as well.
Burrit bro's, a Main Street institution and huge tenant for space has left after 40 somthing years, and there's a tonne of vacant businesses up and down main.
Few years ago I thought that's where I wanted to be, worked out well that my current spot is seemingly where people are turning to for dem trends

I was looking at mortgages this morning, and you can get a 5-year variable through brokers now at 1.69%.
That definitely isn't going to hinder the market.

That rate is likely only available to those who can close fast (less than 90 days) and require CMHC insurance.

Sigma is 1.69%
True North is 1.75%
My mortgage is up for renewal in a bit over a year. I hope I can still get in on these rates then!

Turns out it was. And the exact unit LOL. (Well the only one listed right now)
I think my parents sold the place for 168K back in 2004...

Your realtor has misinformed you. It was sold for $460,500. Quote:

$465,000, $460,500.. what's the difference.. I was more than 10k away anyways.

I backed out of my contract for my 1 bedroom + 1 den at Concord Brentwood. Just not worth the price, long construction completion timelines, and I honestly didn't think resell value will go as high as it is later...

Anyone following the Chinese situation of government restricting money leaving the country and killing tons of trade deals? I have a friend in the business sector in China and he has been talking about this for about a year and showed me this the other day.

Spent the last 7 years commuting through Joyce on a near daily basis and have seen the traffic steadily get more congested as the days past by. Another 256 units added to the area without any traffic plan will make things interesting...

Buy the place using your LOC, then the rent only has to cover the interest and strata fees.
