> $389,000 I understand many of the visitors to this fine site are rich software devs in SV, but from my perspective, I paid about this much USD to buy a house in Calgary. I had to replace the roofing for about 10k, and the water tank, but there are houses here that are more than 100 years old. More than 400k CAD for a depreciating asset makes no sense.
