If I had $13M to spend on a condo, I wouldn't be browsing on rew.ca. My assistants would show the listings to me and then I'd get them to contact the realtor.

Maybe because he's the perfect example of someone fucking the next generation by treating the housing market as a stock portfolio so he's got money to leave his wife and kids to go bang some hookers in east Asia?

It doesn't bother me, it's just an expression of complete jealously and envy. I'm happy for the guy. It's hard to convey tone over text.

edit; Actually, I guess it does bother me because i'm completely jealous and envious.. haha
But I meant that in a very playful tone.

My friend outlined it perfectly.

He said, "Peanutbutter, your opinion isn't worth a damn because you can't afford a $13M condo. If you could, your opinion wouldn't be what it is today"

Thinking about that, I think he's right. I don't have the mindset of someone who could afford a $13M condo.

I’m sure I’m posted these before but compared to that 13m at Vancouver house the trumps main PH was wayyyyy crazier and it had infinitely more potential. Unfortunately I thought I had more interior pics but I kind of got the vibe peeps didn’t like having pics taken at the top



The views to be had from the 72nd floor and another lower level








Could have sworn I had pics of the interior and the giant welded in place staircase. I only saw it when they were framing interior walls and the basic structure was there but it was gonna be crazyyyy the building is kind of segmented off as a rounded triangle at the top, the north west unit kind of takes up the tip of the triangle over 3 stories

More and more buildings are doing jams similar to this now but generally on a lower quality like “gold house” in metro and other metro high rises may use a veneered or stain grade frame like this, however many still do not use the mortise(sp) set handset and locks like these do. These also have a beautiful matching door casing that ends up looking more like millwork than a casing



There is some legit crazy real estate here way crazier than what you ever see usually in sales ads. I’ve been lucky to see into a few pretty crazy places between 5-20 million and that’s really just the tip of the iceberg

I’m sure there’s kids on the west side that just go to one another’s 5/6/7 million dollar pads being bored like us poors lol

Not much meat on the one bed presales after fees. One rule change regarding flipping and you're fucked. Unless you can afford to carry all 5 of them to completion.

Make sure it’s not a clog. I had that and the water was just overflowing because some junk clogged the drain.

Now, here's the kicker. This degenerate JUST bought FIVE one bedroom condo's on King George (pre-sale), $460k a piece and he's planning on flipping it in 2024. Within the next 12 months, the deposit schedule is 20% down.

He's swinging for the fences. Because if the market is in the shits in 2024, he's screwed. It's a pretty big risk to take, but he's just going. Geeeeeeeeese Louise

My dad's cousin did that about 20 years ago, he came back after a few months, started the divorce procedure, sold the family home, brought his new wife back to Canada and basically disowned his family.......true story lol.

He was always kind of a prick, ended up dying a few years later from cancer, new wife took everything he had, fuck the kids.

How the hell do you write the details of a law after you pass it?

The BC REA's suggestion of a pre-offer period (IE a minimum 2 week period before offers can be made on a property after its listing date) seemed to be a much more solid idea.
It doesn't look like the government even gave that idea a consideration. Seem like they're just shooting from the hip at this point.

Spoiler!


Trump is overrated. Aside from location and views, quality is pretty lousy. I believe they renovated recently to sell. They split it into 3 units for 10-20 million each. Why would you want to share a floor with someone else? i rather have the entire place and sell it for more for privacy. Saw some old flooring (cracked) and wasn't going to replace it but patch it instead.

There were 3 separate PH units to begin with? Each had 2 floors plus the roof?

I dunno..it may not be a 3 harbour green in terms of the tiny details but imo the finishing and millwork was very good (with that said I never saw the PH’s finished)

Leasehold, you need to renegotiate the lease every 50 -100 years?

99 year leases are the norm IIRC although a quick search shows that the COV owned False Creek South lands has 60yr agreements.

Saw a couple of posts about house insurance few pages back.. just curious what people are paying for detached house? I shopped around squareone, td, brokers, ect. and all is a lot higher than my stratified TH.

$1900/yr including earthquake, 2m liability, sewage backup, ect. Pretty comprehensive.

This seems a bit high ?

We pay $2200 for ours. Don't know the details of the policy but I believe it's with Wawanesa who is usually the cheapest.
