maybe it's just me but as long as the place is tidied up then i don't really care if it looks like someone clearly lives there. it's a sellers market so as long as the place ticks your boxes in terms of what it has to offer, i would imagine that for most people they can look past some kids toys in a corner or stuff in the kitchen. when we were staging our condo for sale, we just spent about 1-2 hours tidying, sweeping, dusting, etc..

Appraisals and questions are also a waste of their time. While smaller realtors appreciate answering those questions because it may be a lead to the next sale.

The big fish only see their client base as $ signs? Who would've thought?

Those agents, you're paying for the whole team. Junior agents, assistants, social media marketer, etc. They have already done the appraisal and research by the time you're signing the listing agreement. Good example is John Tsai, go ask him for a rebate. He'll laugh in your face and tell you to go fuck yourself.
You're buying his brand, not his service but I'll bet in his early days, he did rebates. That goes for any of the big names in town

When I sold my condo, I bought stuff to stage. Then returned it all after I was done selling my place. Eg. Wall painting, table decor etc. Didn't make financial sense for us to pay someone to put up a few shit here and there for our tiny ass condo lol.

Badhobz 06-06-2023 12:04 PM

I asked my previous realtor for some cash back, he said he doesnt do that kinda stuff because hes offering me his service. Unfortunately for him the deal went south after we found out the drainage tiles on a brand new house dont function. I lost 1k for the house inspection but this fucker lost me as a client.

So guess who im using this time around! NOT THIS CLOWNY FUCK. you can take your brand and shove it up your pee pee hole.

68style 06-06-2023 12:11 PM

Yah people who laugh at any income, regardless what their income level are... they can go fuck themselves. People literally starving around this country not even the world but they're that elitest prick-like? There's ways to turn stuff down without being an asshole about it and still retaining some semblance of humility.

Gravy train always stops at some point. Change their tune pretty fast.

To me, it makes very little difference whether we get a rate hike tomorrow or not. If we get it tomorrow, then it'll probably stay flat in the July announcement. If the rate stays flat tomorrow, then we'll have the rate hike in July instead.

The rate is still gonna go up -- probably by 25 pts. FML bcos that's another $30+ each week. FailFish

I couldn't care less about brand, even more so when buying.

I already do the inspection, look for listings, research prices, have a final number in my mind. Can read financials, strata docs, you can even outsource this to a professional on a flat fee basis.

But the $2 - 7k kickback can buy me furniture cover LTT + Notary fees.

If the BC one is anything like the ON one, I wouldn’t think too much. The devil is in the fine prints. Even though you are now technically able to do multiplex with single housing lots in ON, there are quite a few obstacles in place.

It’s not just apply building permit and start construction kinda easy.

Great68 06-06-2023 07:50 PM

Yeah, like for one, the builders need to actually afford to finance the build...:

Housing starts down 11% amid high interest rates

JDMDreams 06-06-2023 09:23 PM

Just curious of this, does anyone know how the south gate village is being built so fast? I've never seen a high-rise come up so quickly. They are almost finishing up tower 3 and they started like a year ago. It literally takes them like 6 months to put up a tower, vs traditional high rises that takes like 5 plus years.

I'm hoping that in combination with the housing supply requirements that they are rolling out that there'll be more muscle (both stick and carrots) behind what BC is doing compared to ON. Eby is playing bad cop in all of this while Kahlon is playing good cop (appearing with mayors).

The total changes probably won't satisfy someone like me but it's the most progress we've seen on the housing front in 100 years.

Rates up another .25%.

The only comfort it my renewal is still 4 years away

EvoFire 06-07-2023 09:22 AM

Continued to get fucked by interest rates.

Great68 06-07-2023 09:47 AM

Not feeling so bad now for renewing 6 months early.

"A strong contributor to high inflation is mortgage payments increasing due to high interest rates"
You can't write this shit.

Definitely looks like today AND July, not today OR July. Market is pricing in a high likelihood of 1 more hike this year, and further the reasonable possibility of 2 more hikes yet this year.

Traum 06-07-2023 11:03 AM

I hope you're wrong, Mark, cuz I am really not liking these continued rate hikes at all LOL~ But given how discretionary spending still seems to show no sign of letting up -- esp in the travel & tourism sector -- I wouldn't be surprised to see another rate hike later this year.

Interestingly, the news I read this morning is still saying BoC expects inflation to drop to 3% "in the summer", although it has also dropped the language about pausing rate hikes. Personally, I am not convinced that hiking rates is the most effective way to curb the inflation that we have now. But I only have a rudimentary understanding of economics, so I can't pretend I know what other solutions might exist.
