I am not looking down, my mom lived on welfare and we lived in housing but it was meant to be temporary.
To my Toronto people...
- Thread starter Wise
- Start date
I am originally from Montreal, that's where I grew up. We lived in gov housing or whole time there. It's harder to move up in Quebec for multiple reasons. We relocated to Toronto so that we can have more opportunities and learned english. My mom worked her arse off so that we could love in good neighborhoods and eventually buy a home. During that time my dad divorced my mom. When we first moved to Toronto we settled in Richmond Hill, lived for a short stint in Thornhill and ,moved to Ruchmond Hill have lived here ever since (15 years plus). I have still have family friends that live in the same gov housing, to this day. My mother had a plan and she stuck to it. On top of that she didnt grow up poor/downtrodden in africa so her mindset pushed her for a better life. She always said;"How am I going to move to this country and live worse than I did back home?".
How old are you if you dont mind me asking.

The demographics make leary.
The condo game in Toronto is so oversaturated, I really don't see how someone can make money on it in 5 years unless it's something historical like Toy Factory Loft, Candy Factory Loft, Tip Top Tailor... anything else?
There are 4 new condo buildings at Leslie Sheppard... just yesterday I checked 2 of them have 50 units for sale. Cityplace is FLOODED with units for sale, straight up some of these people who are dishing out 1500-2000 for rent should buy one of them, just so when they sell it, they can break even and it's not like there money just went away to someone else's pockets.
That's true the condo game is saturated but at the same time. I figured its better for me to bud equity and possibly my condo gaining some value than sitting and wait for the hoising market to crash to be able to afford a house. My mom is a single parent. The house she lives in will be her retirement. I have to make my own way. Besides it gets me a foot in the door. But ya if i had to pick betweeen a house or a condo id pick a house.
What's your evidence for Milton booming? I have heard that before, if I'm not mistaken, it's the fastest growing city in the country? Reasons?
Cobourg? Really? It's a old white town lol.
I know the Fairview area well. My barber was telling me how a 3 bedroom is for like 600-650 for sale. It's nothing close to Regent and the housing complex nearby is torn down. It's far from a seedy area. It has 3 highways right beside it (DVP 404, 401), mall and right beside a subway station, walking distance. He said it's the number 1 growing condo area in Toronto right now, according to his reator.
I know like 2 cats whose families bought homes in Richmond Hill 2-3 years ago for 650-7 and now can sell for 950-1 mill. I know a cat who made 100 racks profit on a crib in Newmarket in 18 months.
I'm just tryna see which town is gonna be like that or in the process of it. There are townhouses in Stouffville for 450-550, that run for like 650 in Richmond Hill right now.
Milton does seem like it. It's majority white? The reason I don't get the hype is cause it continuously reminds me of Maplehurst lol
