Southwestern Ontario isn't bad. Looking forward to owning one day, hopefully sooner rather than later. I want my kids to be able to play in a yard as they grow up.

Maybe it's time for me to get out of the bay. Then you tack on 1.25% for CA Property tax, i don't know if i can afford this state.

Here in Holland if you are looking for a place near one of the bigger cities you'll have to count on 300-400k for a 2-3 room appartment.

My wife got a new listing last week in North Co San Diego. It's a 4 bd 2.5 bth 1800sq ft home, she listed it at $435,000 and put it on the MLS on Wednesday, got an offer on Thursday and it was accepted last night-it's in escrow at full asking price. Amazing.
