We live in Oshawa, durham region.
We find a 3-bedroom townhouse near UOIT/Durham college priced at 140K, but it is old.
Just wondering whether buy it or not.
We have done the calculations, it won't cost too much, about 650 per month for finance while extra 240 for condo fee. We now live in a one bedroom apt that already costs us 800 dollars per month.
Can anyone give us some suggestions? Thanks.
1 房子很旧, 说明如果你买下后如果你要住得舒服, 你要投入很多维修费, 如换房顶, 修地下室渗水等等你意想不到的东西。
2 什么是物有所值和天下没有免费午餐。主人只把它定在14万，说明它只值这个价钱。没有傻瓜会把钱白送给你的，除非他有病或他是你的父母。这是个大麻屋吗？这条街的治安？
３再算一次。６５０＋２４０＋水费＋电费＋垃圾费＋地税＋无法预计的维修费。还有在未来的３－５年甚至８年时间里，它的价格还会继续下跌２５－３０％，也就是说再跌３．５－４．２万元。你现在租房住，不用愁水管裂马桶坏屋顶漏，４万元够你租５０个月且没有任何风险。５０个月是４年又２个月。简单的把你的现金放在银行，一年给你２千元的利息回报。

与去年同期相比，销售量降18%，价格跌11% 。多伦多价格更跌了15%，销售量降21%。
Changing GTA Resale Housing Market Reflects Economic Times
TORONTO, October 17, 2008 - Activity in the Greater Toronto Area resale housing market
moderated considerably during the first half of October with 2,700 homes changing hands,
Toronto Real Estate Board President Maureen O’Neill announced today.
Sales volumes in the GTA decreased 18 per cent compared to the first half of October 2007,
when 3,297 transactions were recorded and are down 10 per cent compared to the same period
in 2006 when 3,007 sales took place.
In the City of Toronto 1,140 sales took place in the first half of this month. This represents a 21
per cent decline from the 1,446 sales that took place in the same period a year ago and a 13 per
cent decrease from the 1,312 transactions recorded in the first half of October 2006.
In the 905 Region there were 1,560 sales in the first two weeks of this month, a 16 per cent
decrease from the 1,851 transactions that took place during the same timeframe in 2007 and
down eight per cent from the 1,695 homes sold during the first half of October 2006.
House prices declined throughout the GTA during the first half of the month. The average price
of a GTA home is currently $353,772, down 11 per cent from $399,013 recorded the comparable
period in 2007.
In the City of Toronto the current average price $375,804, a 15 per cent decrease from the
$441,878 average recorded at mid-October 2007.
In the 905 Region the average price of a home is currently $337,671. This represents an eight
per cent decline from the $365,527 average recorded during the first half of October 2007.
With 27,559 properties currently listed on the TorontoMLS system, there is now 30 per cent
more available stock from which to choose as compared to a year ago when 21,182 homes were
listed.
“More choice can mean slightly longer wait times for sellers whose homes are now on average,
selling after 34 days on the market as compared to 29 days a year ago,” said Ms. O’Neill. “The
list to sales ratio is 97 per cent of the list price.”
Increased sales activity was noted in specific pockets located throughout the GTA.
Sales in Oshawa (E16) increased 15 per cent compared to the first half of October 2007, based
mainly on solid sales of detached homes.
In Brampton West (W24) sales in the first half of October increased 21 per cent compared to the
same period a year ago mainly due to strong attached row house sales.
Downtown East (C08) experienced a 16 per cent overall increase in activity compared to mid-
October 2007 primarily as a result of condominium apartment sales.
Newmarket saw a 17 per cent increase in sales compared to the first half of October 2007 as a
result of strong condominium apartment and semi-detached home sales.
Previous news releases have incorporated 2006 comparisons. This was necessary in order to
place the market statistics in a broader context. We will be referencing 2006 in its entirety at the
end of the month when it will be more relevant.
“While we continue to watch the economic picture globally, it is the local real estate climate that
will determine our market place,” said Ms. O’Neill. “After the 2007 record highs, 2008 is an
encouraging market for buyers.”

Thank you Dell.
We knew the nuclear stations stuff, except the Darlington, actually there is also one in Pickering.
We just don't have any other choices, we both work in North Oshawa, we have colleagues who live in as far as North York, they are so tired of driving.
The properties in Markham or Scarborough are even more expensive and riskier for us.
It is not a good day for both buyers and sellers.
1) New investment of new nuclear plant is in Darlington.
2) properties is un-Liquidity asset. You must consider that it's hard to sell unless you reduce price much much low.
3) The opportunity is in buyer's hands at this time, but they just don't want to buy because it's the beginning of the recession
Oshawa ？ are you kidding ?
1) there are a lot auto-workers will be laid-off in next two years as the auto-sector is in recession. Think about it !!
2) Do you know the nuclear power stations in between ? look at this map, you will know why the properties are so cheap in between Ajax and Oshawa..
