God help me… how much do you think this house in SCARBOROUGH is?? http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=11605929&PidKey=1205155174

1 bedroom, 1 bathroom condo for over half a million dollars at $539,900.00. And a nice and fair $949.99 in maintenance.
Cost per month with property taxes and insurance (assuming you’re not using CMHC and have the 107k down): $3,430.00
This unit excludes the washer/dryer as the listing says. But if you...

Well, thanks to an amazing submission…. I bring you this nugget of fun and joy. This house was bought in 2009 (3 years ago) for $485,000.00, and the owner did about 60k worth of renos on it, then sold it last year for $780k.
Oh wait… it gets better…. the new people that bought that house less than 12...

Toronto Maintenance Vs. Vancouver Maintenance →
I want to do a blog post solely on maintenance fees in this city. Because if you thought just our housing prices were whack, you were wrong.
The more condos I see and compare, the more I realize that maintenance in this city is craziness. I spent a couple hours researching this the other day, comparing Toronto fees to Vancouver fees within condos of the same developer. And I noticed that for...

Look at this gem, totally makes sense. $800,000.00 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, run down house. Well, run down by the looks of the iPhone photos they took. We should all just start using Instagram for everything, it’s fine.
I have no doubt I’m going to get emails from people saying “That house...

As I wrote this I actually rolled my eyes and sighed deeply, even though I’m alone right now and that doesn’t translate on the internet. That’s how annoyed I was at this. And let me tell you it’s really hard to get annoyed anymore because I see these every day now… so you can imagine how...
Toronto Vs Toronto →
This city makes no sense, it’s so random and ridiculous. Here’s an okay house in Forrest Hill for $1.5 million and here’s a crappy little bungalow in North York for $1.4 million.
And here’s a ridiculously amazing house on the Pacific ocean in fancy-pants Malibu for less than both of the Toronto houses. Also seems to come with a giraffe in the backyard… I’m...

2 bedroom, 3 bathroom TOWNHOUSE (I have a special distain for million dollar townhouses), for sale for $1,270,000.00 plus $1,379 in maintenance every month. It’s boasting “top of the line appliances“…
FML PROTIP: It’s cheaper for you to buy those Miele or SubZero appliances yourself...

Sigh. 2 Bedroom, 2 bathroom house at Landsdowne and Bloor for $849,000.00. I’m super stressed because this is such a perfect house for a first time buyer, maybe small if you have two or more kids, but I think okay if you’re just starting out. However, it’s $849,000.00! You need $169,000.00 down...

Check out this 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom house at Dundas and Bathurst: http://www.realtor.ca/PropertyDetails.aspx?PropertyID=11792751&PidKey=-476970270
I don’t even know… I’ll let the realtor’s description in the listing just start this:
“Opportunity Knock (sic) Only So Often…First Time Buyer Price Point For This Trendy Area**Tons Of Potential For Developer To...

http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=11722961&PidKey=234031142 Here… enjoy this bungalow at $1.6 million dollars. I’m so filled with annoyance right now. “First time offered in over 30 years!!” Better get it quick guys/gals!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s start a mutiny, and all of my readers can place offers on this for 150k or under, and they’ll get an...

Here is a really nice 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom house in Cabbagetown. In a normal city this would be priced at the affordable for a double income family probably mid 400k. But since this is Crazytown, it’s one million dollars. I know how wrong it looks for me to say this should be 400k, but if you look around...

http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=11705978&PidKey=-979568889
This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house is in Riverdale, (which is not North York) and it’s listed at $795,000.00 with of course no photos. I smell a disgusting bidding war on this one, I can just feel it, it’s getting warm out and people are getting itchy to go into debt.
The house has one bathroom,...

http://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=11740350&PidKey=579941384
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom townhouse in Moss Park makes total sense priced at $769,000.00 with maintenance at $806.70. You know after your 150k down payment, taxes and mortgage on this total to $4,000.00 a month. You could just buy a $1.1 million dollar house for those carrying costs, because maintenance really...
Roncensvalles Village Garage
The listing says “Own a piece of the pie! Roncesvalles Village.”. How much do you think this Roncesvalles detached garage is, that “needs work” and is “being sold as is”?
I’m not even going to tell you the price. It’s days like today that I wish I had comments on this blog so I could read people’s totally way off guesses and their subsequent...

Here is a 2+1 condo downtown for half a million dollars and almost 600 bucks in maintenance. I don’t know if it’s a bad price, I’m so jaded now with all of these out of whack prices. What I do know is that the listing tells me that it’s “Perfect For The Yonge And Previously...

Well, here’s a ONE BEDROOM, ONE BATHROOM Candy Factory loft in Queen West, across from Trinity Bellwoods. It’s $639,900.00. At first I thought it was justified because maybe it was just a massive loft, then I looked at the dimensions… your one bedroom is 11x9. Not even a den or anything!!! Just...
