luvmykids replied: How exciting, love the sunroom and big backyard! GL! thumb.gif

grapfruit replied: I'm waiting for it to load, but I'm crossing my fingers and toes for you!!! biggrin.gif

grapfruit replied: I LOVE the floors! Our 3 bedrooms have hardwoood, which is great but slippery! tongue.gif Tim complains that he feels like he's going to rip in half when he gets out of bed b/c he almost does the splits every morning. rolling_smile.gif (Ok, I'm mean, but I'm cracking up as I write this w/visions of him slipping and the ACTUALLY thing he says, which is not suitable for a public forum emlaugh.gif )


I also love the fireplaces!! That is the one thing I wish our house had, but I couldn't even imagine where they'd go.

I'm recrossing all my fingers and toes for you! biggrin.gif

lovemy2 replied: Very nice - love the sunroom and backyard but boy houses sure are expensive there ohmy.gif

grapfruit replied:
I was thinking that too. That house is easily $100K more then it would be here. PROBABLY more like $160K more then here.

I was thinking how great of a price that was.emlaugh.gif Couldn't touch a house like that in my area. rolleyes.gif

grapfruit replied:
No kidding! My friend and her boyfriend were renting a BEDROOM from some guy that owned a 1200 sq ft trailer in Chatsworth for $600/month ohmy.gif (to put this in perspective, my first apartment was a nice sized 3 bedroom for $375). He said the trailer cost about $250K. I about fell over.

Here is what you can get for $259K

A&A'smommy replied: ITS cute!!!! I love it!!!!

Good luck, I have my fingers crossed for you!!

A&A'smommy replied: wow thats almost right at what a house like that would cost here

Our Lil' Family replied: Good Luck Rocky...that looks like a very well built home!!

I think the housing difference in the US is absurd! It really makes me mad.
This is one of the houses that I'm looking at, for $259.... http://vaneatonromero.com/index.php?option...sFeatured,price

bawoodsmall replied: Now thats the kind of backyard I like. Its like ours..nice and big. We have an enclosed porch but not that kinda view. I like yours way better. We have a view of a big pine tree. wink.gif

sparkys2boys replied: Oh good luck Rocky I hope they accept your bid!!!! Its a very cute house, love the back yard! I am sure your brood of kids..lol.. could put that to good use!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
Actually that's a really cheap price. A normal house like that in this area would be about 350K.

CantWait replied: It's a great house Rocky. Good Luck. When will you know?

luvbug00 replied: very nice! here that place would be in the mid 400,000 so congrats even finding a steal like that! GOOD LUCK!!!

3xsthefun replied: Nice house! Good luck!

grapfruit replied:
Holy Crap! ohmy.gif

Well then HECK YEAH!!!! biggrin.gif

grapfruit replied:
Ok, can I change my other Holy Crap to this one?!?

How the heck can people afford to buy a house?!? I mean here people are losing homes left and right. I can't imagine how ANYBODY could afford a $400K house!! That's insane!!

Are wages higher there Nadia?? I mean average person around here probably makes between $15-$20/hr. And actually most make a lot less then that. (around $10)

holley79 replied: Oh I like that. Good luck

Cece00 replied: How much is that in US dollars? That price is SO high compared to here, OMG. You could buy a very nice house, new or recently built here for that price. Its crazy how much prices differ everywhere.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: As of the rate today...

269,900.00 CAD = 266,818.26 USD
Canada Dollars United States Dollars
1 CAD = 0.988582 USD 1 USD = 1.01155 CAD

Cece00 replied:
WOW. So they are close.

I guess people probably are paid more up there than here, hence the crazy (to me) housing prices.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: our minimum wage is 8.10$

it's the nation's capital here, don't forget... wink.gif
