Yeah, elevator opens right in front of the entrance. The layout was pretty nice but that was apparently a definite no and parents told me that it's bad mojo

That is also just poor layout if they are facing each other.

Wouldn't it be a U shaped kitchen if they're facing each other, with the dining bar on the kitchen sink side?

I think apartments built by Polygon around 8 to 9 years have the sink and the stove facing each. They put the sink on the island basically.

Hell is wrong with living with your front door in front of the elevators? I lived in a condo like that for 4 years. Unless your bedroom is right next to the door you don't hear shit. It was nice greeting visitors immediately after they arrive.

To each their own but maybe it's a feng shui thing to some or maybe some are just worried about any potential noise down the road.

As for the market slow down, that is good news but the nice ones still sell quick while the ugly ones definitely sits longer.

How big is the $ difference between what think think it at, and the reality?

Also is it cheaper to live by the elevator? LOL

I can see the noise issue, but I think most of it is overrated asian feng shui stuff

If they really wanted to curb foreign investment just have every floor end with the number '4'.

1-4
2-4
3-4
4-4 (ultimate value for Canadians)
5-4
6-4
7-4

etc.

I can see it now... the Foursquare Towers at 444 W 4th Ave...

Lol!

In a decent concrete building the elevator thing isn’t an issue. Especially if there are only like 8 units on a floor just the amount of traffic that comes and goes will almost never be bothersome.

I’ve been in some low rise wood frame though where you only have 1 elevator and your door is literally within arms reach of the elevator buttons, I’d say that could be an issue

I have a 2010 house in Langford 3 bed 2 bath up (rents for $2000 including utilities which is way below market now). Purchased in 2012 for $455k and could sell for $670k.

2 bed 1 bath down (727 sq ft). Pretty small and not a lot of light as it is built on a slope so the upper floor is level with the back yard.

When we bought the place in 2012 the lower 2 bed suite rented for $950.00. I was renting it for $1300 this past year. My tenants gave noticed 2 days ago for Sept 1st to move closer to downtown Victoria. I immediately posted it for rent.

Within 48 hours I was able to check all references, sign a lease and receive a deposit for $1350 per month including utilities. There was a line up of interested renters behind them.

My tenants who gave notice are having a tough time finding a new place now. I don't think they realized how competitive the market is for housing in Victoria. I gave them opportunities to change their mind but they refused. The economy is booming over here on the island with plenty of job opportunities and low vacancy rates.

my front door is like 3-4m away from the elevator. at worst you'll hear some people talk when they're waiting for the elevator on rare occasion, and when you do they're gone in 1 minute.

My apt is 2 units over from the elevator. Never been an issue. Big plus that my parking spot is the first one right out of the garage elevator lobby. Also maybe it's a respect thing or getting your parents advice but the way I look at it is if they didn't put a dollar in why should they tell you what to buy and what not? Buy what YOU want. My parents didn't put a dime into any of my places so I won't listen to them. If I did I'd still be stuck in my Surrey apartment which assessment has only risen around $10K or worse if I had listen back then the building they wanted me to buy in Richmond was the one the small airplane flew into. FUCK THAT. Not saying I was able to tell the future I just trusted my gut.

wanna piss off the whole building. Open your windows and your front door. It will create a pressure difference and the elevator would think someone is holding the elevator door

of course it only works for the unit infront of the doors

Put in an offer for an apartment. 2 bedroom 2 bath. Listing price is around 630k. Put in an offer around 590k(I expect to negoiate the price). Sellter's agent got back basically saying the seller expect to be at least 620k. LOL Basically give all the info of 2bed 2bath that's sold in the same building for the past 6 months and per sq ft price is around $700 to $780. His asking price is way over $780 so there is no way I would pay that much. Also looking at the data the must expensive units are sold in Feb 18 and April 18 price drops a bit and even more in June.

Basically market is on a decline on average Put in an counter offer around 600k. If sells go through great if not then whatever. Seller can wait another few months and price will even be lower (is on the market for 3 months) so my guess is that the agent will want to sell as well in case the seller decide to change agent.

Never fails to amaze me how some sellers / property owners can be so out of touch with reality. If your unit sat for 3 months, it means the listing has gotten stale and people are not going to be interested in the price you are asking for. If the seller wants to have the unit moved, he has to re-align his expectations and the asking price to reflect the market reality.
