I am constantly blown away by the variation in housing prices according to location. I watch some of the real estate flipping shows on TLC, and most of them take place in California. The prices for ordinary homes are $500,000+ (maybe someone who lives in the area can confirm this for me?). Where I live, in a city of approx. 100,000 an hour from Toronto, similar homes would cost $130,000 - $160,000. For $500,000 we could buy an almost-mansion! How do ordinary working people manage it? :ohmy:

I live in an area where there are no single family detached homes for less than $900K - and those would be "fixers". There is nothing special about the homes or the area - just demand outstripping supply.

Prices are so high, that most people couldn't afford to buy their own home. We will be stuck renting for a long time.
 
I just bought a house in Toronto - Danforth area, downtown Toronto is maybe 20 minute cycle away - for $342,000 Canadian. Expensive in comparison to what I could have bought outside of Toronto, but I think I got a good price, mainly cause I have an unfinished basement which I am going to convert, which will then add to the price. Plus its in a highly sought after area, and its close to a ton of stuff - greektown, shops, downtown, work etc.

Its my first house too which is really exciting!

Wow, I LOVE it! Built in 1898 :drool: I looks like a larger version of my childhood home, which is over 150 years old and used to be one of the first farmhouses around, before this turned into a city.

Does it have a basement?

Carek, maybe detached bathrooms mean they aren't connected to a master bedroom, just a "normal" bathroom off a hall?
