The examples at 322/280/etc. per square foot seem cheap. I live in WINNIPEG and houses on my street go for $450+ per square foot, and that's in Canada where mortgages aren't tax deductible, and Winnipeg in particular where the climate is... challenging. The one's that are $500+ per sft --- well, that's the cost of location. Deal with it.
- Zimahl 13y agoAs an American, I don't seem to understand Canadian currency at all. I've watched 'Love It or List It' on HGTV knowing that it's a Canadian show but the prices of the houses are all typically anywhere from $700k-$900k for 1600 to 1800 square feet. Trying to convert it back to a price in US dollars I guess isn't quite right. What's the median income in Canadian dollars that makes home prices so high? Side nitpick: do Canadians primarily use square feet as a measurement? Is that a real estate standard even though Canada is mostly metric?
- dreadsword 13y agoReal estate and houses are just cheaper in the US -- like cars. That's just the way it is. In real estate, square feet rule in Canada - just one of those holdover things.
