Ok, this is getting insane. We are shopping for a two bedroom apt to buy and prices are just out of reach for us. To be reasonable central - we're looking at $550,000 ++. How far can this go? When will it come to a level where there are no buyers? But I guess people believe prices will continue to rise. Perhaps they will. Who would have thought 20 years ago that we would pay half a million for an apartment?
After one year hiatus we went to the Kettle of Fish on a Sunday Night. It was great. That place is very dependable. For two, with a nice Alsace wine and one martini each - about $150 with tip. Not too bad. Not exactly a recession buster cost, but it was worth it.
OTTAWA — Canada's housing industry showed signs of life in February after
several months of declines, with resales rising 8.6 per cent from January thanks
to lower mortgage rates and prices, the Canadian Real Estate Association
reported Monday.
Despite February's gains, sales are still down 31 per cent year over year, as
are prices, which have fallen 9.2 per cent in the past 12 months, CREA said.
